Truck Driver s Lack of Care Costs

FORT DAVIS, July 10.—Driv­ing off and leaving on the road a heavy reck with which he had chocked the wheel of his truck cost a young Del Rio man $16 in pustice court here Monday.

Because a short while later Sunday night Mr. and Mrs. Buddy Eppenauer drove over the sharp little crest of the hill and plunged into the boulder before they saw it and could stop.

Their new car was considerably damaged and they narrowly es­caped injury, it was stated in court. '

This happened on the Scenic Loop road about seven miles from town.

Monday morning the Eppen-auers saw, in town, the truck they believed had been chocked on the hill. Investigation proved that they were right. A state highway patrol officer was called in. He made the charge that brought the young cedar-post-hauler into court.

The young man admitted at once that he had left the rock on the road.

"I knew T shouldn't have," he said regretfully as he hauled out his wallet "I'm going to have to pay for the damages on the Eppenauer car, too."

The state officer said he was on the trail of men who leave chock-rocks on the roads, even if it is done without malice.

Scouts Stranded Saturday, Off to Camp Sunday In Bus Marfans Furnish

It 'was a sad b«n«h of Boy Scouts of America that spent Sat­urday on the "front porch" of Quality Hardware and Furniture.

They were all set to ffo to Camp Gila, near Silva? City, N. M= Their registration fees had been paid. AU were ready for a week's fun and instruo||pn in the New Mexico mountain*, 380 long miles from Marfa.

But there was no transportation. Arrangements had been made

for a truck to haul the boys and their camping equipment. Early Saturday it was found that the owner *ould not supply it. Frantic calls here, there, everywhere, to many people by John J. Mathews, Scoutmaster, Troop 19, telling of the boys' plight and pleading for help in transporting them were of no avail. It just looked like there was no way to get the boys to Camp Gila and to bring them back this next week-end. As the day slipped away the boys became more glum (Webster says that's a good word^and that it-means "moody" and "gloomy"; that's what those boys were)., : In ih» late afternoon, Scout­master Mathews and Scouters who had been; helping throughout the

way were ready to throw up their hands and call it "all off"—and that's just what they did! A call w> El Paso was made and notice given thattheboys could not make it and that they understood that their registration fees would be forfeited. And that was that!

Then Marfa business men, ranchmen, and others, came into the picture. Surely the boys must go on that trip they had counted on all day long—and quite a time before that.

A Baygent Coaches bus was chartered at a cost slightly less than $200 (for the trip to camp and the one back to Marfa) and the boys left Sunday morning, counting on getting there for Sunday evening supper. Marfans gave the money for the transpor­tation.

Those were happy boys that climbed in that bus Sunday morn­ing. They weren't any happier, though—or more grateful—than were Scoutmaster Mathews and the Scouters who "just couldn't let those boy& down." Marfans came through in a big way and Scouts and Scoutmasters and Scouters

Baptist Youth Receive Training In Four-Day Camp

Study and Recreation Keeps Boys, Girls Busy At 1P47 Paisano Meeting

By ROSEMARY PLUMBLEY

Paisano Encampment this week was the setting for the Baptist Girls* Camp spon­sored by the Women's Mis­sionary Union of District Sev­en.

Approximately 300 girls representing twenty towns, from El Paso to Rankin, and including a group of Chinese girls from the missionary school in El Paso, experienced close contact with God through religious training and

difficulties of several kinds are not deterring Marfa people from beginning the con­struction of residential and busi­ness property at matiy places over town.

One need only do a bit of driv­ing to learn the truth of that statement.

Concrete tile is being used in the W. W. Dodson home across from the Mimms home on North Austin St., near the city limit. The house will have four rooms and bathroom and completion is sched­uled in about two months. The large area on which the house is being built has been fenced. Mr. and Mrs. Dodson and their two. girls and boy will occupy the home. He is a government trap­per.

Storeroom Under Way Charles Tarango is owner of a

business building being erected on East El Paso Street, next to El Palomar Bar. Ramirez Radio Ser­vice will be the tenant. The building will be 20 feet by 40 feet.

The Bill Shannon home is in the wall construction stage this week. It will have five rooms and will be of tile and stucco. Mr. Shannon expects to do a lot of the work

A grass diamond, floodlights, j on the house, which is being built

next few days. Proposals for the work were made by Holland Page, Austin, and Jim Chancey, Marfa.

Curb and gutter work will be done by Joe W. Copeland at a cost of $1.20 a Running foot, Mr. De­Volin said, according to terms of a contract recently entered into by him and the city. There are 4,790 feet of such work included in the contract which was given him. Tt is likely that additional curb and gutter wdrk will be dons-, according to the city official.

"Flat curb" work amounting to 270 feet, in the railroad area, will be done by Copeland, Marfa con­tractor, at 70 ceftts a running foot. Order has been given for this •*swn«lr

Mr. DeVolin said that it is ex­pected that work by the Marfa man on the jobs he has been given will be started within the next few-days. Steel forms for the curb work have been ordered by Mr. Cope-iaud.

Marf a Team Plays In El Paso Tonight

Holman Catches Big Fish With Rod, Reel

Perhaps not the grandfather of all fish but at least one of the ancestors was hooked Sunday night about 11:30 by A. J . Holman when he was fishing in the Con-chos, in Mexico, about twenty miles from Ojinaga.

The 61-pound yellow catfish was caught while Mr. Holman was fish­ing with a,rod and reel. His line was 82-pound test and the reel quite large or he would not have been able to land the fish, Mr. Holman said this week. He was using black perch as bait when 'the fish was caught—and landed after about twenty-minutes.

Mr. and Mrs. Holman were fish­ing with Mr. and Mrs. Bob LeRoy. The group had six reels with them and it is believed that the line and reel being used by Mr. Holman is the only one of the six which would have held such a fish.

The camp opened Monday and closed Thursday noon.

The Rev. S. F. Marsh of Clint, president of the Paisano Boys' and Girls' camps, and Mrs. W. F. Bylite, El Paso, Young People's Director of District Seven, were in charge. The Rev. Paul Gaston, El Paso, was the camp pastor

NEW ORLEANS, July 3.— Civilian organizations in the Eighth Naval District will cooper­ate with the Navy Department to pay tribute to John Paul Jones on July (J, the 200th anniversary of his birth.

award came at the close of the Revolution when it was determined there would be no further need for a Navy.

Calling upon the nation to join with the Navy in a tribute to John Paul Jones on July 6, President Truman said: 'The daring and courage of John Paul Jones won for him immortality as an Amer­ican."

The date for the tribute marks the 200th anniversary of the birth of one of the founders of the Navy's earliest traditions of hero­ism and victory. Full text of the President's statement:

"The daring and courage of John Paul Jones won for him immor­tality as an American. To re­count his victories is to recall >.is love of this land of his adoption and his fervent devotion to the principles of freedom.

Familiarity with the indomit­able valour and heroic tradtions which have their origin in the life of John Paul Jones should endow the American of today with a moral stamina necessary to meet the future with wisdom and strength.

"We could not choose a more ap­propriate occasion than the bi­centennial of his birth to reded i -cate our efforts to the furtherance of our democratic ideals and the preservation of a peace so dearly won.

T H E 'S L A R G E S T BUSINESSES?

NOTHING quite* so much astonishes the stranger to America as the democracy of American Busi­

nesses—where the factory employee can become the president of the largest corporation, or a grocer one of the world's great food suppliers.

In a recent survey of this subject, 50 of the largest businesses in America, employing several million workers, were a-ked to »:ve starting figures on the men who are now rheir top management.

1 {.-re ire the results. One started for $1.50 a week— eleven others for less than $5.

I'Viy-fh-ee others Girted work for less than $10 3 week..

Eighty-one others received between $10 and $25 a week. And only 7 received more than $25 a week— the highest getting paid $69.23 a week.

The average starting wage of all 143 was $13.40 a week. Thus every one of these managers, it can be truthfully stated, worked up from the bottom rung of the business ladder.

When you think of the head of a big business, think of a young man who once drew an envelope at the end of thc week with $13.40 in it.

include two 6-47 transports, three L-5 reconnaissance planes and a helicopter. Transports are especi­ally equipped for flying supplies and emergency equipment to acci­dent scenes, and for dropping sup­plies by parachute when necessary. The smaller reconnaissance planes are capable of landing in remote and rugged terraii and are equip­ped as ambulances for flying in­jured persons to hospitals. The helicopter, a whirling-winged air­craft which can take off straight up and land straight down, can reach quickly by air, places inaccessible from the ground. Rescue "Bomb" Carried

Among the emergency equipment carried by rescue planes is a medi­cal "bomb" which was developed by the Biggs Field Air Rescue Service* for parachute delivery to injured men when landings of res cue planes cannot be made imme­diately. This contains blood pi as ma, morphine, splints, antiseptics and other medical supplies of an emergency nature. When required, medical officers who are especially trained for rescue work, jump by parachute to give first aid treat ment to downed fliers.

Since the Air Rescue Service unit was activated at Biggs Fielc in September of 1947, its men and planes have spent more than 900 hours in the air searching for lost aviatorS4 A total of thirteen miss­ing aircraft have been located dur ing this period.

The Service has recently been expanded and authorized to go to the'aid of civilian as well as mili taT'y aircraft which encounters difficulties in flight. Prompt re­porting of aircraft accidents by witnesses is of great assistance in rescue operation.

Dor local Wild Life League went a picnic Saturday, and I went

cause folks are so temperate and well-behaved in our town, that they could afiord to lake the whole thing as a joke.

From where 1 sit, even a news­paper editor's entitled to a few mistakes. And since I reported that they served a moderate bev­erage like beer, I'm sure nobody thinks the picnic was the least bit wild, or anything but a huge suc­cess—and I mean huge!

91 killed—3,150 injured! If that were the report of an explosion, wreck or other disaster, it would be front page news. People would be hor­rified! But worse—if s just one day's automobile casualty list in the United States. It happens every day, week in, week out. Four deaths, 131 injured—every hour.

Speed—reckless, wanton speed—drunken driving—defiance of safety rules and regulations—and careless, jaywalking pedestrians, top the list of causes for this grim toll.

What can you do about it? Will the speeding wheels of your car add one death to this mass murder of the highways? Not if you, the driver— and you, the pedestrian—take your individual responsibili­ties seriously. Drive carefully at all times, under all conditions, and be alert when walking.

Don't be one of the thousands to kill, or be killed. Drive safely T—and live!

B E N N E T T S ' — N e x t to Postoff ice—

WASHINGTON. — There is a pos­sibility that restriction on use of grains for food, livestock feed and industrial uses may be eased if wheat and corn harvests were at record levels now forecast, accord­ing to an agriculture department announcement.

The department said final de­cision would be governed in part by the world food situation.

The government has earmarked 250,000,000 bushels of this year's 1,160,000,000 bushels wheat crop for export. This country exported about 886,000,000 bushels from last year's crop. . The department said that in gen­eral the situation for the remainder of 1946 would be much the same as in 1945 after V-J Day, when most foods were taken oft rationing. There may be somewhat less of some foods, including chicken and sweet potatoes, but more potatoes, fresh fruits and vegetables.

The department .said meat sup­plies for civilians would be larger than a year ago until late fall. Live­stock held back in late May and June now is being marketed.

By October, however, lower pro* auction of beef and lamb than in 1945 and larger exports to shortage areas abroad may bring civilian supplies below the near record consumption ol last winter.

Fish and eggs are expected to be plentiful the rest of the year. About as many turkeys will be marketed at in the 1945 holiday season.

The department said there was little prospect of a significant im­provement in supplies of fats—such as butter, margarine, lard, shorten­ing — in the next few months.

Supplies of milk in all forms wil l be seasonably smaller in the re­maining months of 1946, the depart­ment said.

Warning Given Of Bangs Disease

An increase in the prevalence of Bangs Disease is reported by

Dr. J. W. Dollahite, Marfa vet­erinarian, who spoke this week of the need of milch cow owners using all precautions possible in the handling of their animals.

There was little Bangs Disease in this section a few years ago. It is believed by Dr. Dollahite that the disease is being brought here by animals which are infected and are sold as being tested and free of the disease. Soon afterward it is found that they are "reactors."

Dr. Dollahite cautioned that the buyers of cows should not accept animals on the basis of the seller's oral statements but should insist that the proper papers be pro­duced* The disease is quite conta­gious and the keeping of a diseased animal with others is quickly fol­lowed by infection of the free ones. It is difficult to eliminate the di­sease and precautions that can be taken are considered "the better part of wisdom."

Japanese Laugh Over Showing of 'The Mikado' TOKYO. — Japanese spectators

laughed heartily at the first per­formance in Japan of "Tne Mikado," the comic opera in which Gilbert and Sullivan poked sly fun at the Japanese of the Meiji era.

The musical satire, first pro­duced in London in 1885, was never presented in a more lavish manned than it was in Tokyo.

For the first time in history, "The Mikado" had an authentic ballet of Japanese girls and tl^y perxormcd as though they had been doing Gil­bert and Sullivan all of their lives. The chorus also was partly Japa­nese.

Fifty or more Japanese who saw the operetta for the first time said very little of it was objectionable and they thought the performance was "thoroughly enjoyable."

Credit Association this week is Miss Harriete Walker. Miss Walk­er, who is from Alpine, replaced Mrs. Madeliene Holman who re-rently returned to her home in Waco.

LUBBOCK, July 2.—Seeking bones or skeletons of dinosaurs for addition to the West Texas museum and for research at Texas Technological College, a scientific expedition will enter Big Bend-Na­tional Park next month.

wanii Langston. geology in­structor, will head the expedition, accompanied by H. C. Bailey of Clarksville and Owen Hofacket of Levelland. Bailey will complete requirements for a bachelor of science degree in geology at the end of the current summer term. Hofasket is also a geology stu­dent.

The Department of the Interior recently issued the party a permit to excavate dinosaur remains in the park during 1947.

The group will search specifi­cally for remains of sauropod din­osaurs of the Upper Cretaceous age, which closed about 76 million years ago. Only two skeletons of this type, both incomplete, have been discovered in North America. One is in the National Museum, ?sr«>r.».in«»Tvvr) artA +Yi£* r\¥ht^f n f f l ip

University of Oklahoma museum. Langston hopes to supplement

this material with further discov­eries this summer. He also ex­pressed hopes that the party may unearth remains of an entirely new dinosaur fauna, one never previously described.

The sauropod dinosaur is one of the largest of the group. Some­times attaining an overall length of 82 feet, it i» characterized by a short body and long neck and tail.

Leaving Lubbock July 18, the party will search for prehistoric remains about seven weeks. Cen­ter of the search will be about 100 miles south of Marathon.

One of the most interested per­sons here at the time of the open­ing, Saturday, of the Davis Moun­tains State Park Highway was 69-year-old Mrs. G. C. Walker Luling resident, who was here un­til Monday.

The Walker family formerly owned the ranch which is now the Pete Kennedy place. They sold it in 1912.

The Walkers stayed in Fort Davis four or five months each year while they were property owners in the area. Mrs. Walk­er's son, G. C. Walker, Jr., re­called Monday morning that when the family came to Marfa from Fort Davis, when he was a youth, that they stayed at a hotel on Oak Street, in the Elite Laundry neighborhood. He could not re­member the name of the hotel.

The elder Mr. Walker did not make the trip here with Mrs. Walker and their son, daughter-in-law, and daughter, Mrs. Nan W. Booth of San Antonio. He will be eighty-one years old in Aug­ust.

Throughout the" picture, Lon, playing a big, dumb character, munches on walnuts which he cracks in a peculiar fashion. The actor places the nuts inside the crook of his elbow, and breaks the shells by doubling up his muscular arm.

"It was a parlor trick of Dad's," says Lon. "He didn't use it in a picture, but it fits in naturally with the walnut business I do in 'My Favorite Brunette.' "
