Brothers Cars
Collide, One
kInjured
A 22-year-old Ingleside
man was hospitalized Friday
night after he was injured
when the car he was driving
collided head on with another
vehicle driven by his broth-
er.
The accident occurred
about 8 p. m. half a mile
west of the Sun Hay docks on
Farm Road 2725 between Ar-
ansas Pass and Ingleside.
Injured was Tommy Has-
kins, who was taken to Ar-
ansas Hospital and later
transferred to Memorial Med-
ical Center in Corpus Chris-
ti. His brother, John Has-
kins, 24, was treated at the
hospital here and released.
J. C. Bersch of the local
police department said both
autos were demolished in the
collision. The two were alone
in their respective autos
when they collided, he said.
Bersch assisted Highway
Patrolmen Rayford Brown
and Donald Carr in the in-
vestigation.
Shrimj) Landings
Show Decline
In Past Week
Shrimp landings at Aran-
sas Pass and Rockport dur-
ing the past week continued
to show a decline, according
to figures released by Bert
Strock, statistician for the U.
S. Bureau of Commercial
Fisheries.
Strock reported that 112
trawlers landed a total of
178,900 pounds of shrimp at
the two ports during the past
week compared to 253,458
pounds docked by 180 trawl-
ers the previous week, a de-
cline of about 74.558 pounds.
A comparison with the
same period last year shows
the past week’s landings
down about 31.346 pounds.
The 1963 landing for the
same period was 210,246
pounds.
Landings at Aransas Pass
included 76.578 pounds of
brown shrimp and 65,317
pounds of whites. Rockport
landings for the same period
were 6,491 pounds of browns
and 30,514 pounds of whites.
Weekend landings here
were 28,207 pounds of browns
and 14,872 pounds of whites.
Landings at Rockport for the
period were 1,728 pounds of
browns and 8,509 pounds of
whites.
Strock reported that a
breakdown of brown shrimp
landed here over the week-
end showed 6,474 pounds to
be in the 15/20 count size,
16,075 pounds in the 21/25
count bracket and 5,658
pounds in the 26/30 count
range.
A breakdown of week end
landings of white shrimp
here, Strock reported, re-
vealed that 5,918 pounds were
in the 15/20 count range,
4,500 pounds were in the 21/
25 count size and 3,595 pounds
were in the 26/30 count
bracket.
Meeting-

fessional supervision for such
celebrations with most of the
cast and participants being
made up of home talent.
A decision on whether or
not to undertake a celebra-
tion of the proportion out-
lined by Hulse at a meeting
here Oct. 15 was not made
at that time because of the
small number of people who
were present at the meeting.
Mrs. Gene Durbin, mana-
ger of the chamber, said Mon-
day that some indications are
that the proposed celebra-
tion could be worked in with
the annual Shrimporee.
A yes or no decision, she
said, will have to be made
at the meeting Thursday.
The Progress—Aransas Pass, Texas
WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 4. 1M4
Panthers Win,
Over Warriors
Sparked by the passing arm
of quarterback Marcel Cal-
lender, the Aransas Pass Pan-
thers came from behind Fri-
day night at Tuloso-Midway
St:diurn to defeat the War-
riors 20-8 in 30AA conference
play.
Callender, who had a hand
in all the Panther scoring,
completed five cf seven at-
tempted passes for a total of
C3 yards, with two passes
carrying Aransas Pass into
paydirt.
The host Warriors, enter-
taining a “Dad's Night”
crowd, opened the scoring as
quarterback Freddie Valen-
tine on a keeper play ran the
ball over from about 11 yards
out midway of the first pe-
riod. Mike Brawley added the
two point conversion to give
the Warriors an 8-0 load.
Early in the second stanza,
the Panthers drove 78 yards
in 12 plays for its first touch-
down. The 4rive was cli-
maxed when Callender con-
nected with halfback Slidell
Harvey from about 13 yards
out. Run for two extra points
failed.
Stage for the next Aran-
sas Pass score was set when
Callender raced 23 yards
down the right side of the
field from the Panther 37.
Four plays later, Callender
connected with halfback
Lynn Temple from the War-
rior 23 to give Aransas Pass
Council-
ing. City Manager Gay Walk-
er pointed out to the council
that high tides caused by the
passing of Hurricane Hilda
caused more damage to the
already extensively damaged
western portion of the wood-
en bulkheading and that
wooden bulkheading else-
where in the harbor was also
deteriorating.
At that meeting. Walker
told the council that unless
something is done, the city
is in danger of losing a part
of the roadway which par-
allels the western bulkhead-
ing.
It was pointed out *t the
earlier meeting that tempo-
rary repairs could be made
to the bulkheading, but that
maintenance, in the long run,
could amount to more than
the cost of installation of a
permanent bulkheading.
The city has at its disposal
$500,000 in harbor revenue
bonds which were approved
by residents in June of 1959,
and which have never been
sold.
In other action Monday
night, the council:
—Appoved the payment of
a $4,125.97 invoice from Lock-
wood, Andrews & Newnam
for engineering services
through Sept. 30.
—Approved transfer of
lease on the East Channel
from A. M. Batchelor to Bud
Hale.
—Discussed the request of
Glen Ellis in regard to ease-
ment for sewer line.
—Heard a report, from the
city health officer. ’
—Granted T. L. Bishop a
new 10-year harbor lease.
—Accepted the bid of Gulf
Oil Corporation on the city’s
annual fuel supply.
—Ratified action taken to
advertise for bids on sewer-
age system.
Local VFW Hosts
County Council
Veterans of Foreign Wart
Post 2832 played host Mon-
day night to members of the
San Patricio County Council.
A fish dinner was served
to about 75 men by the ladies
auxiliary.
It was brought out at the
meeting that the council was
founded by the late Judge
W. H. Womack of Aransas
Pass.
Among those attending
were Royce Reed, district six
commander and Carter
Younts, past state command-
er.

the lead Try for extra points
failed.
Following the kickoff, the
Warriors failed to move out
of their territory and quick
kicked to the Panther 49.
Harvey made four yards
for the Panthers on the first
play and put the ball in the
Warrior territory.
On the next play Callender
kept the ball and raced 47
yards down the right side of
the field into paydirt. Cai-
lender connected with Har-
vey for the two point con-
version, giving the Panthers
their final score.
Leading ground gainer for
Aransas Pass was Callender
who chalked up 119 yards in
16 carries. He was followed
by Harvey who picked up 48
yards in 12 carries. Others
making yardage for the Pan-
thers were William Grant,
17; Temple, 9, and Wayne
Gilden, 5.
Heading the Panthers’ tack-
les or assist list Friday night
was Winfred Spears, who
was credited with 15. He was
followed by Larry Robert-
son, 11, and 'Ronald Callen-
der, 10.
Others getting five or more
tackles or assists were Earl
Guilbeau, 8; Temple and Cal-
lender, 7; Billy Mills and
Grant, 6; and Rodney Anthis,

Odem, 40-0; Calallen, 16-0;
and Agua Dulce, 37-6.
Although both teams car-
ry a triple threat scoring
punch, their defensive rec-
ords are even more out-
standing Woodsboro’s goal
line has been crossed only
three times this season and
not at all in conference play.
On the other hand, Ingleside
has given up only four
touchdowns during the sea-
son, one in conference play.
Although the records might
tend to favor the Eagles
slightly, it can be assumed
that Ingleside’s season sched-
ule was somewhat tougher
than that of the Eagles. All
of Ingleside’s opponents pri-
or to district play were class
AA teams.
A check of the results
againts common opponents
makes the game a toss up
Ingleside showed a touch-
down advantage against
Rockport in a pre-conference
game while in district play
against Odem and Agua Dul-
ce, Woodsboro earned the
nod.
Mustang Coach Wayne Wil-
sher reports that his team
is in good condition for Fri-
day night’s crucial battle and
only the final whistle will
determine the winner of this
always-exciting contest.

tion of no additional bond is-

Another step along the long
road to completion was taken
on Dec. 9. 1963, when the
board authorized Victor
Brock to draw up plans for
the construction of the li-
brary and science building,
not to exceed $50,000 and
subject to the approval of
the Texas Education Agency.
From this point on, things
moved rapidly, and on Feb
24 this year the architectural
contract with Brock & Ma-
brey was approved, and plans
and specifications were ac-
cepted. On March 23, Hoyt
O. Mertens of Kingsville was
awarded the contract for con-
struction.
Following the April elec-
tions, the new trustees, Pat-
rick L. Parker, Barney Far-
ley Jr., Ancel Brundrett, Jer-
ry Clanton, Robert Beyers,
Mrs. Tom O’Donnel and Hen-
ry Olsen Jr., found the build-
ing well along the road to
completion. By the time
Thomas Teller replaced Dr.
Beyers on the board in July,
the new structure was all but
completed.
On September 8, the dream
came true, and the building
was accepted as completed by
the trustees.
The building now houses
the nearly 2,000 volumes be-
longing to the school library,
as well as eight sets of the
latest encyclopedias and a
number of subscriptions to
periodicals.
Books of a suitable nature
may be donated to the li-
brary by contacting Mrs N.
N. Fortson, superintendent
of schools.
