RIVIERA NEWS
MRS. IT. H. ER.RET, Corespondent
Experts from the National Bureau
of Fisheries want this state to adopt
sane and sure plans for fish conserva-
tion. Turner E. Hubby, the State s
fish, game and oyster commissioner is
in hearty accord. Mr. Hubby has call-
ed for a hearing to determine whether
or not. certain waters of Lagun Madre
and adjacent boys should be closed to
commercial fishing. This bearing will
be held at the court house in Kings-
ville on Friday morning at 10:30.
Since Bafftns Bay is one of the bodies
of water that will be affected the
meeting is of interest to every one in
the county. If the petitioners who ask-
ed to have the waters closed fail to
submit sufficient evidence to warrant
their request their petition will be
denied, as it was in Corpus Christ!
last week. Every person who signed
the petition, every person who believ-
es it is for the best interest of Kle-
berg county and the state at laige for
commercial fishing in Bafftns Bay to
be stopped should atend the meeting.
Both sides will be given an impartial
hearing and it is expected that there
will be a large number present both
opposed to and in favor of the propo-
sition. Don’t forget the time—10:30
a. m. Friday; don’t forget the place-
court house at Kingsville, and don’t
forget to go.
Orlando Robbins, who had been in
West Texas several months, spent
Saturday night and Sunday with his
parents here. He left Sunday night for
Raymondville and expects to spend
the remainder of this year in the Val-
ley.
R. M. Cole, who was operated on
for appendiictis at the hospital in
Kingsville on Saturday, is getting
along very nicely. His mother-in-law,
Mr. White, and his wife have been
spending most of the time this Week
with him.
R. E. Young’s Innsurance Agency
of Kingsville has purchased the Leo
Kaufer Fire Insurance Agency and will
take care of his patrons. Mr. ^ oung
will establish local headquarters here
and his brother, A. D. Young, will be
here at least part of the time.
Bob Wright was called home from
Hebbronville Monday by the serious
illness of his baby boy. The child was
considered in a dangerous condition
still on Tuesday.
Belton McGuffm and family moved
from Ricardo to Riviera the first of
the week and are living in the house
near the school building owned by J.
B. Womack.
Mrs. Earl Sears has returned from a
several week’s visit to California. She
went to see her mother, Mrs. Wright
who was badly injured in an automo-
bile accident. Mrs. Wright, who is well
known here, is still confined to her
bed and it is feared will be perman-
ently crippled.
Notice to P. T. A. Members
The regular meeting of the P. T. A.
for Friday 12 is postponed until Fri-
day the 26, owning to the prevalence
of flu and mumps in so many homes.
Notice to Band Members
The band will have a practice meet-
ing on Wednesday evening March 17.
The band did not hold, the last two re-
gular meetings as Bandmaster Sam
Fimble had the flu.
Crop Conditions
In a drive over the Koch tract Sun-
day the crops were given a passing in-
spection. Approximately 200 acres of
watermelons have been planted in the
Ratlins Bay, Vattman and Riviera sec-
tions. The oldest stands have been
up from ten days to two weeks. Some
of the farmers complained that the
coldness of the ground has prevented
them from getting as good stands as
they wished but in no instance will it
be necessary to plant over. Some have
in ten acres in melons, but the majori-
ty have five. The stands of corn seem
to be very good, some as high as six
nd eight inches. Birds doing about the
average amount of damage. As nearly
as could be estimated there is about
the same amount of cotton acreage as
there was last year. A good hard
shower might benefit but there is still
plenty of moisture to germinate seeds,
the coldness of the ground being th
only hindrence an dall the farmers
consider the crop prospects unusually
bright.

School Building Declared Safe
Considerable worry has been felt
concerning the condition of the pub-
lic school building and the following
letter is the report of the State build-
ing inspector who was here last Thurs
day:
Mr. P. S. Garner,
Dear Sir: This is my report of the
condition 1 found your school building
after going through and making a
very careful inspection. I see that the
building is in no danger of collapse
and that you can rest easy as far as
any danger after repairing Unties
over doors and windows, repairing
southeast corner of building where
there has been a settlement caused
from drinking fountain leaking and
water getting under foundation, caus-
ing earth to become soft in under
foundation. I want to make a sugges-
tion to you which I think is very im-
portant, and that is to remove the
heavy high roof and place a fk grav-
el roof and running the fire walls up
about eighteen inches or two feet
higher. A furnace room can be built
under the south wing of your building
the walls and Baitings about seven
feet below floor joists, I think you
ought to move drinking fountain about
seventylflve feet east of the building
and to grade to top of footing all
around building.
(Signed) Very respectfully ,
S. It McCOY,
State Building Inspector.
The Hegari Club boys all have their
acre of ground prepared and ready to
seed as soon as it is time to plant.
The ground is unusually cold this
year.

When tiie Coffer-Miller Players ap-
pear here on March 1G in “The Riv-1
als" at the College forum, the people!
of this community will have an oppor-
tunity to renew their acquaintance
1.000.000
ER 16,1925
with one of the cleverest and best
, I
comedies ever written. “The Rivals’
is one of those plays that has never!
lost its popularity and never will be j
cause it is a masterpiece and essen-
tially universal in its appeal.
Perhaps Richard Brinsley Sheridan !
knew that he had wiritten something
that would mean a great deal to the
people of his day but lie could not
have dreamed that he had released a
deathless play. His play in the hands
of such finished actors as Martha Mil-
ler and Jess Coffer is a refreshingly
realistic offering of merry and spoil ''
tnneons appeal.
There are two characters primarily
who live as Sheridan visualized them, j
characters that are odd, that, are fas-
cinating and of such whimsical human
fabric that audience after audience is
convulsed with laughter at the words
Sheridan gave them, the moods and
personalities provided by two of the
of tin1 most versatile character people
of the day.
“The Rivals” gets off rapidly into
hilarious and sparkling activity with
the first curtain and never once does
the action let down or humor weaken.
The laughs produced in this work are
not gufaws produced by stage tricks
and manerisms the play is a realistic
work that sinks into the memory of
the spectator and long after the com-
pany has left town the memory of that
comedy is refreshing and mellowing.
