One of the proud fathers of
La Grange, John Czichos,
whose headquarters are listed
as La- Grange Drug Co., was
stopping passers-by Monday
telling them that his and Mrs.
Czicho’s son Michael has gra-
duated from Southwest Texas
States Teachers/College In San
Marcos with a degree in Vo-
cational Agriculture. Seems
that Mike didn’t want to study
pharmacy, like his pop, be-
cause he didn’t want to remain
indoors. Know what he’s do-
ing? Working in the Houston
Research Laboratories and you
■guessed it, indoors!

Sept 1st is a sentimental date
for W. P. Jacob of La Grange.
And no wonder! Look at the
reason: it was on Sept. 1, 1920
that he first started into busi-
ness in Burton. Jt was on Sept.
1, 1926 that he built the -Carl
Schulze place in La Grange. It
was on Sept. 1, 1928 that he
moved to his present location
on South Jefferson. Wouldn’t
surprise Journal Square if he
added that he was married on
Sept. 1 and all of his children
were born on Sept. 1.

Half Million More For Cummins Creek?
fact that the two-county jiia-
trict is too large for the pre-
sent five-man board to do a
good Job of meeting the soil
conservation needs of the dis-
trict.
It will take approximately
three or four months to get
two separate districts created.
The steps required are briefly
as follows:
A resolution must be submit-
ted to the State Soil Conserva-
tion Board citing reasons for
dissolution of the present dis-
trict.
A petition must be signed by
50 land owners of the district
asking that the District be dis-
solved and 50 signers asking
that separate districts be creat-
ed.
The State Board sets a pub-
lic hearing for land owners to
express themselves on the sub-
ject.
The State Board then deter-
mines the practicability of the
new districts and sets up an
election to allow the people of
the District to vote on the mat-
ter.
If the voters approve disso-
lution and creation of new dis-
tricts a new program and plan
will have to be written.
The action to separate the
two counties is one that all of
the Board of Supervivors of the
Bastrop-Fayette County- Soil
Conservation District No. 310
are in agreement. At last sre-
port the petitions had been
signed by the necessary 50
landowners for both actions.

The Journal called President
Fred Placke in Glddings who
stated that he had not been of-
ficially notified. However, he
confirmed the rumor without
divulging the source.
The Journal did not receive
a reply from Congressman
Clark W-. Thompson confirming
the figure either.
However, it is believed that
the above figure has basis in
fact and will allow the Cum-
mins Creek project to move
forward with the building of
an additional six or eight struc-
tures. The 1958 fiscal year ends
June 30, 1958, and the money
must be spent by then.
’If the rumor Is true, this
would mean that when ease-
ments are secured another
eight dams could be built*,
bringing the total constructed
to 16, which is about half of the
total number of 31, on '■ the
two million dollar project.
