REFUGIO TIMELY REMARKS
Tivolian Among
Pharmacy Students
Eighty University of Texas
pharmacy students left Austin on
Saturday, April 12, to invade two
giant pharmaceutical laboratories
of the midwest. On the special
train headed for Indianapolis,
Ind., were Miss Helen Crews of
Tivoli, Durwood Grant and Gene
Nored of Corpus Christi, Carter
Kraege of Yorktown and J. B.
McDonald of Victoria.
The trip is the third of its kind
taken by Texas students and will
last six days. L. W. Schleuse, as-
sistant professor of pharmacy, ex-
plained that the trip is“ for the
general educational purposes and
to show the students how drugs
are manufactured on large scale.”
After leaving Austin, the first
stop will be Indianapolis, where
an inspection trip will be taken
in the Eli Lilly Pharmaceutical
and Biological Laboratories. From
Indiana, the group travels to Kal-
amozoo, Mich., where students
will inspect the Upjohn Pharma-
ceutical Laboratories.
The trip will conclude with a
sight-seeing tour of Chicago and
then back to Austin, arriving on
Friday, April 18.

best that we have had for years.
The attendance has been and is
fine. Dr. Holt is bringing some
great messages and people are re-
sponding to these messages, as
there have been 15 additions to
the church, with many of these
being received for baptism.
Dr. Holt will be with us
through Friday night.
We will have our baptismal
service Sunday morning at the
close of preaching service.

in this county have been classi-
fied. Of these, 543 are white and
62 are colored. After filling all
previous calls, the office still has
available, 39 class 1-A men, 25 of
whom are white and 14 colored.
J. C. Johnson, who has charge
of the local office, states that the
health standards among the reg-
istrants in this county is above
the average of many South Texas
counties, where large numbers
have been rejected on account of
disease and other physical defects.
There have been few rejections in
this county on account of physi-
cal defects and it has not been
necessary to take men in to the
service who have any valid claim
to exemption. In fact, the local
office at present has an over-sup-
ply of class 1-A men waiting for
the call.
The office was given a class 1
rating by Lieutenant-Colonel Ju-
lius Doerenfeld Jr. of the govern-
ment selective service department
when he visited here last Thurs-
day on one of his regular tours
of inspection. He commended the
work done by the local board,
which is composed of Mr. John-
son and E. J. Freeman of Refugio
and E. C. Thomas of Woodsboro.

Hydra-Matic Drive
Heads List of GM
1940 Developments
Oldsmobile’s hydra-matic drive
headed the list of all engineering
developments featured on General
Motors cars last year, according
to S. E. Skinner, general manager
of Oldsmobile. Skinner based his
assertion on a statement by Al-
fred P. Sloan, chairman of the
board of General Motors Corpora-
tion, in his annual message to the
stockholders last week.
Excerpts from Mr. Sloan’s mes-
sage follow:
“Among the many engineering
developments and refinements for
the year, two are of particular in-
terest. Hydra-matic drive, which
first appeared on the market with
the announcement of the 1940
models, has been further refined,
and with the facilities for its
manufacture expanded, is now
available on a wider range of cars
than ever before. This important
feature, which eliminates the
clutch, takes the operation of
manual gear shifting out of driv-
ing technique. The changes in
gear ratios, or speeds, are made
automatically, thus providing ex-
treme flexibility and ease in its
handling.”

it is hoped can be done before the
present legislature adjourns.
During Centennial Year, 1916,
the state erected a $7,500 monu-
ment in the park and moved the
old monument to Mount Calvary
Cemetery, where it was placed
over the grave of King and his
men.
That a deed was authorized by
the town council in 1916 is shown
by excerpts from minutes of the
town council of the town of Re-
fugio:
Minutes, April 10, 1916: “Be it
ordained by the city council of
Refugio that the provisions of
the appropriation made by the
thirty-fourth legislature apropri-
ating $500 for the year ending
August 31, 1916, and $500 for the
year ending August 31, 1917, for
the purpose of fencing, beautify-
ing and preserving the public
park in the town of Refugio,
Texas, on which is located the
monument erected by the state to
the memory of Captain Amon B.
King and his gallant comrades,
said appropriation being made on
the condition that title to the
land forming such park shall vest
in fee simple in the state of Texas
under deed and conveyances ap-
proved by the attorney general,
be and the same are hereby ac-
cepted by the town of Refugio,
and by the town council of the
town of Refugio, and it is ordered
that the said public park be con-
veyed to the state of Texas, in
pursuance of said appropriation
and George Strauch, mayor of the
town of Refugio, is hereby author-
ized to execute said conveyance
as mayor of the town of Refugio,
and under its corporate seal with
general warranty of title in be-
half of the town of Refugio, and
its successors after publication of
notice making of the same.”
Minutes, June 27, 1916: “Where-
as, on the tenth day of April,
1916, at a regular meeting of the
town council of the town of Re-
fugio, Texas, as appears from the
minutes of record in volume 7,
pages 292-293, minutes of said
town council, it was ordered that
the mayor of Refugio, Texas, ex-
ecute a deed conveying block 44,
town of Refugio, known as King’s
Park, to the state of Texas, in
consideration of certain appropri-
ations made by the state of Tex-
as and mentioned in said order
after a notice of the intentions
so to convey had been published
in the Refugio Review for a pe-
riod of sixty days; and, whereas,
the publication of said notice has
been duly and regularly made in
the Refugio Review * * *
“Now, therefore, be it resolved
by the town council of the town
of Refugio that George Strauch,
the duly elected, qualified and act-
ing mayor of the town of Refu-
gio, do execute said deed in the
name of the town of Refugio;
that J. Turner Vance, the duly
appointed, qualified and acting
secretary of the town of Refugio,
do attest the same with the cor-
porate seal and that said deed be
delivered to the state superin-
tendent of public buildings and
grounds of the state of Texas,
who is authorized to receive the
same on behalf of the state.”
