Cancer's Toll Eight In Presidio County

State Board of Health statistics show that eight persons' lives were taken in Presidio during the two-year period of 1945-1946 as a re­sult of cancer.

The figure was released through J. Louis Neff, Houston, executive director the Texas Division, American Cancer Society. He said that three persons in Prcsi-aio A. J i _ J 11¾ J5 1r.no til 4-cancer last year. Mr. Neff reports that there were 6,343 deaths from the disease in Texas last year, as compared to 5,948 during 1945. To combat this rise, a minimum goal of $432,240 has been set for Texas.

According to the U. S. Census Bureau, in 1900 cancer ranked sixth among death-dealing di­seases, while tuberculosis was rated first as national killer. But. due to organized educational cam­paigning and eternal vigilance on the part of an awakened populace and the medical profession, tuber­culosis has dropped back to sixth place, while cancer has risen to the position of the second frequent cause of death. Heart disease oc­cupies first place.

A nation-wide drive started this month with a goal of $12,000,000 to fight the rising menace of can­cer. The Presidio county mini­mum goal is $380.29, and Mr NerT urges that citizens of the county give to conquer the disease which kills one person every three minu­tes.

Fire at Kellys Destroys 99 Chicks

An early morning Maze, Sun­day, caused the marring by smoke of a part of the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Kelly.

Ninety-nine chicks were burned in the brooder which Mrs. Kelly had brought into the kitchen from the back porch so they would not be so cold. The brooder was placed too near a gas.heater and became ignited. The alarm was given by a neighbor, Mrs. R. E. L. Tyler.

Mike Kelly, small son of the Kellys, "brought down the house," when he remarked to Martin Knight, fire marshal as they were standing in the Kelly yard waUh-ing the f.renrn at tjieir work:

"Now, don't blame this on me, Mr. Knight. I wasn't even at home when it started."

A medal and the following ci­tation were presented during the Army Week observances on the afternoon of April 10, 1947, at Fort Bliss to Oscar T. Wells, Jr., of Valentine, for his heroic ef­forts in saving the lives of two comrades.

The presentation was made by Major General Homer, Com­manding General of Fort Bliss.

The citation reads as follows: "First Lieutenant Oscar T.

ferred to be called, was known wherever registered Hereford cattle were known. Exhibitors knew him, people in the Corn Belt were acquainted with him, many Texans knew the man who be­lieved in the Hereford so strongly that it was warp and woof of his life. Simply, the Bill Jones love of the Hereford was just a part of the make-up of the man—and everyone who knew him at all soon learned that fact. State Res ident Since B o y h o o d

Not a Texan despite his many yeatr of residence, Mr. Jones was born in Alabama on March 11, 1859. His mother died when he was only two and when he was a boy of eleven he and two sisters and their father made the long journey to Texas. He went to Fort Davis in 1885 from Coleman with Frank Taylor's cattle. Mrs. Jones went back to Coleman, re­turned in a few months and they got a new start.

A 17-secton pasture, on which Bloys Camp Ground is located, was acquired in 1892 and the Bill Jones lifetime of cattle-raising was begun. They bought more land and through the years their ranch property between Marfa and Fort Davis was developed in substan­tial, careful manner. Today it is one of the best properties in the area. Star ted H e r d P r o p e r l y

Blood lines of his animals meant much to Mr. Jones from the be­ginning. He got some bulls from a Bob Leigh, an early day importer ui cat Lit; fiOiii England. T T . t

nere io ru yearlings came from a Nevada breeder and the Dolan H-4 herd of Shorthorns were bought. On such foundation stock the Jones animals were developed to a point that his animals were widely known. Their victories spoke for their owner. Bill Jones cattle were good!

Seven years ago this month, Barrie Scobee, Fort Davis writer, wrote of tfive men in the area w' o had more than 400 years of active life to their credit. He called them "grandfathers of the West." Bill Jones was one' Now all are gone except W. L. (Uncle Billy)

The speakers told of the history of highway development and of the work that has gone into the establishing of U. S. Highway 67 as a paved cross-country traffic artery which will bring more and more people into the Big Bend and which will, eventually, lead people to a paved highway route from Ojinaga to Chihuahua City and Mexico City.

Kingston. Mr. Scobee recalled that Mr. Jones ("straight as a ramrod and with the clippy walk of a young soldier")) arrived in Fort Davis in 1885 with $1.50 in his "britches' pocket." He spent "six bits" for a shave and a haircut, and the other seventy-five cents went for feed for his faithful horse. M e e t i n g L e a d e r Four Y e a r s

Second only to his belief in the Hereford was Mr. Jones' interest in his church, and particularly in the Bloys Camp Meeting, annual worship endeavor in Skillman

Grove, near the Jones ranch home. He was one of the founders'

group and through the years main­tained his interest in it. In early summer he was usually first to think of setting the business meeting date when arrangements were made for the year's meeting. When W. B. Mitchell died four four years ago, it was to be ex­pected that W. T. Jones would step into his place as Bloys Camp Meeting Association president. He did—at 84 years of age—and has directed the association's af­fairs since that time.

Mr. Jones was affiliated with numerous associations formed to further the interests of the live­stock man. He headed the High­land Hereford Breeders Associa­tion, tri-county promotional organ­ization, and was an honorary vice-president when he died. M i s s e d 1847 R o u n d - u p

Junior Colleges Needed in Texas

AUSTIN, April 16. — Until there is a junior college within 50 bus miles of every youth of junior college age in Texas, there will not be enough junior colleges in the state.

So says Dr. C. C. Colvert, pro-fessor-cjnsultant in junior college education at the University of Texas.

"There is no competition in the field of junior college education," he said. " A newly organized ju­nior college does not compete with the present private junior col­lege, the public junior colleges ai-ready organized, or the senior col­leges and universities of thc state."

Rather, he emphasized, a junior college increases interest of the people all around it in college edu­cation, and in the second place, it furnished many juniors (junior college graduates) to the senior colleges.

Most obvious needs f-

Southwest Markets

colleges of the future, he said, are (1) the need for an adequate guid­ance and counseling program; (2) more emphasis on health and phy­sical education programs; (3) more adult education courses; (4) more adequate public relations.

Six new junior colleges opened in Texas this year, and two more wi l l open next fal l . The F rank

J Phi l l ips Junior College at Borger has had a terminal education pro­gram this year, and wi l l have a full program next year, and the Laredo Junior College at Laredo wi l l open next September.

Cotton and feed prices lost ground again last week, and spots of lower values appeared among cattle, sheep, and vegetables, ac­cording to the Production and Marketing Administration, U . S. Department of Agriculture. Other southwest farm products sold mostly firm to stronger.

Texas green beans moved quick­ly at $5 per bushel hamper at Denver last week, but sold weaker at $3.00 in Fort Worth, jvhere first Louisiana strawberries brought $7.25 to $7.50 per 24 pint crate. Southern Louisiana sweet potatoes held about steady at ship­ping points at $2.35 to $2.40 for 50 pounds. Most vegetables moved slowly in dull to weaker markets in the Lower Rio Grande Valley. In straight cars of 50 pound sacks, cabbage loaded at 60 to 75 cents; yellow onions $1.75; and potatoes $2.20 to $2.25.

Spot cotton prices declined about $3.75 per bale last week. Higher grades sold readily, but other classes found fewer in­quiries, and trade remained on re­duced scale.

Eggs and poultry met mostly firm to slightly stronger prices last week. Eggs sold for 39 to 40 cents per dozen at Dallas and Fort Worth, and 38 to 39 at Denver. Corpus Christi averaged 34 cents for the week; Amarillo and Fort Smith 37; Austin, San Antonio and Oklahoma City 38; New Or­leans 38½; E l Paso 40; and Hous­ton 41 cents.

Cattle ruled steady to strong at most southwest markets last week, but some classes closed lower at San Antonio and Oklahoma City. Medium to good yearlings brought $18 to $20-at Houston, and $10 to $21.25 at San Antonio. Medium to good steers and yearlings turned at $18 to $23 at Fort Worth; while medium and good steers cashed at $18.50 to $22 at Okla-home City; and $18.50 to $23.35 at Denver.

Hogs scored substantial gains at most terminals, but lost some at Oklahoma City and Wichita. Clos­ing bulk prices on good and choice medium weight butcher hogs aver­aged $25.50 at Fort Worth; $25.75 to $26.10 at* Wichita; and $27 to $27.25 at Denver. A t San Antonio the closing top was $25.50; and at Oklahoma City $26.25.

Sheep and lambs held their own at San Antonio and Oklahoma City, but weakened sharply at other southwest points. Bulk of good and choice spring lambs brought $22 to $22.50 at San An­tonio; and $20 to $22 at Fort Worth. Oklahoma City paid a top of $24 on spring lambs; while Wichita quoted up to $23. Denver saw few sals last week.

February Sales Higher Than In Same 1946 Month

Trans-Pecos Reta i l Business U p N i n e P e r Cent F r o m M o n t h Before AUSTIN, April 16.^February

retail sales of independent stores in Texas stood 14 per cent above sales in February a year ago, ac­cording to The University of Tex­as Bureau of Business Research, but sales slumped 3 per cent below the January level.

Department and apparel store sales were up only slightly from sales a year ago. All sales are sharply down from the peak reached iast summer. When ad­justment is made for the increase in prices, the physical volume of goods sold shows a definite decline from a year ago.

Cities in the two smallest popu lation groups turned in declines of two and one-half per cent for the J anuary-to-February com pa ri son as larger cities (above 50,,000 pop ulation) recorded greater slumps in sales.

A comparison of retail sales by kinds of business reveals Janu-ary-to-Fcbruary increases in six major, kinds of business: country general stores (4 per cent), 4ru£ stores (3 per cent), florists (5 per cent), furniture and household (3 per cent), jewelry (14 per cent), and lumber, building and hardware (7 per cent). , Compared to February 1946,

However, the range of decreases and increases is much broader. Greatest hike was the 136 per cent gain reported by motor ve­hicle dealers and severest decline was the 16 per cent drop in sales of women's specialty shops. Farm implement dealers saw sales rise 47 per cent to turn in one of the most important gains.

Only four districts showed bet­ter sales in February than in January: Northern High Plains (1 per cent), Southern High Plains (3 per cent), Trans-Pecos (9 per cent) and Edwards Pla­teau ( 2 per cent).

Sales ^on the cuff" continue to increase; 58 per cent of sales in

Return From Alaska Expecting to greet her husband

this week in San Francisco, Mrs. M. T. Johnston left Marfa this week to go to the California city where the ship on which her hus­band, Major Johnston, is a pas­senger is scheduled to dock this week.

Major Johnston has been serv­ing with the Army Ground Forces Arctic Winter Testing Unit, Task Force "Frigid," commanded by Col. Paul V. Kane of Corvallis, Ore. The unit has been testing all types of Army Ground Forces equipment for use under weather conditions of the Arctic area.

Temperatures lower than sixtj degrees below zero have been re­corded in the'area and this last winter is said to have been one of the coldest o^ record in Alaska. Major Johnston's friends may hear of men climbing out of sleeping hags and dressing in temperature that was sixty to seventy degrees below zero, and of a "Buddy" system that helped keep Army men from serious harm in the hazard­ous conditions in which they served.

T i r e Product ion to B e Stepped U p , CPA Says

WASHINGTON. — Production of tir«g for passenger cars and motor' cycles will be stepped up the last half of this year, the Civilian Pro­duction administration announced.

W. J. Sears, director of the CPA rubber division, reported that a goal of 69,150,000 tires for this year still could be attained even though only 30,842,101 were produced in the first six months.

CPA announced that tires for trucks and buses totaled 7,705,894 in the first half of this year, more than half of the year's goal of 13,-360,000 units. As a result. Sears said, the supply of bus and truck tires could meet current demands except for small delivery and pick­up vehicles.

When she returned with the drink he was gone. His body was found at the bottom of an air shaft, and police theorized that Kenneth, hajtt asleep, climbed onto the window ledge, thinking he was getting into mother's bed, and plunged down the shaft

WAGES AND THE

TELEPHONE STRIKE

Because wages are at issue in the tele­phone strike, let's take a look at what operators and plant craftsmen here are now getting. Almost all telephone people are in these groups.

The basic work period is a five-day, 40-hour week. Scheduled employees are paid overtime for time worked over elglii IIOUTS 2 day. premium time for Sunday and holiday work, and added money for evening and night work.

O P E R A T O R S

A girl just out of high school, with no previous experi­ence, starts at the beginner's rate of $26 a week. But if she works after 9 p.m., she gets $27.50 a week, and if that week includes Sunday work, she gets $30.10.

The beginning operator gets a raise in pay every six months for the first year. An operator with 12 month's experience, for example, gets $28 for a normal 40-hour week. If it includes evenings and Sunday, she earns $32.30.

Periodic increases bring the operator to the top rate «f ILIA a W PIC. Tf shp wnrlcs pveninffs and Siindavs. her weekly earnings are $38.90.

But the union wants to increase the beginner's

rale of pay from $26 to $41—up $15 a week.

Also, they would increase the top wages from $34

to $51. That is an increase of $17 a week.

PLANT C R A F T S M E N

U"rmf>r. and installers, starting in right out of school with no experience, begin at $28 for a basic five-day week. In two years they are earning $35.50 a week.

SOUTHWESTERN RELL

Periodic increases raise dies basic vale to a top of $56 a., week. Exchange repairmen—the men who take care of repairing the equipment in your office or home—reach a top rate of $58. Overtime and other extra pay during the past year increased the wages of most linemen, installers, and exchange repairmen by about 10 per cent.

The union asks that the beginning wage rates

of itiese Plant workers be raised from $28 to $43

§15 a werk. The union would also increase

the $56 top wage to $78., and the $58 top to $78.

Those would he increases of $250 and $22 a

week. (

We believe most people will agree that present wages are good. The company believes that no increases are justified at this time.

The way to resolve these differences of opinion and settle the strike is to arbitrate the wage issue. Tnat would be fair to our employees, to telephone users, and to the company.

Nearly three weeks ago the company proposed that Governor Jester and the governors of the other four states in which we operate appoint a panel of five impartial citizens—men with a knowledge of conditions in this area—to arbitrate the wage issue. The company enlarged its offer to include not only basic wages but such other demands as length of time for employees to reach top wage rates and wage fiHFerenlials between diffA-ent communities.

The company urges union officials to reconsider the offer of arbitration. It is the fair way to settle the strike, restore full telephone service to the public, and get the telephone wage issue decided equitably.

Have you ever been to Hot Springs, Arkansas?

It's not so far from us Texans —325 miles from Fort Worth­less than from Wichhta Falls to San Antonio for instance, and Texas folks think nothing of a drive like that.

Your columnist visited Hot '3priuK'a recently—and it v/ss a most enjoyable experience. All activities seem to center on the main street because the city is in two section which are are connected only by that one throughfare, so closely do the mountains press at the midway point.

And such a main street! On one side is bathhouse row, palaces of stone in a setting of trees and velvety lawns, and in the distance the vast structure which is the Arlington Hotel; on the other side of the street, shops with displays of laces, jewelry and curios. Peo­ple from every state in the Union saunter in a leisurely manner along: the sidewalk. Incidentally, Texas ranks second for out-of-state visitors. Illinois being first.

There are sight-seening buses drawn up at the curb, and there is a shooting gallery on that main street—the targets are against the side of a mountain. One spot was blasted out of solid rock to make room for a filling station and nearby is a bus stop which is only a few paces from a ledge of rock under which one can take refuge from rain.

Over yonder is an ancient two-seated carriage, the ki.uJ the gov­ernor used to ride in when there was a parade when you were » boy; and the old driver is wearing a high top hat. Honeymooners go for a drive in the quaint ve­hicle, and of course have their picture taken. From somewhere there comes the sound of music— and you look through a fringe of trees and see, in a park bandstand, an Army band.

Hot Springs has facilities for 31,000 visitors, declares Miss Alta Smith, of the Chamber of Com­merce, who for years has ably publicized the city's many attrac­tions.

To sum up the swirl of impres­sions of the three days: Hot Springs seems a gigantic fair, col­orful fiesta, a perpetual holiday where everyone is having a great time.

other folks stay at home w> I can get a hotel room when I travel?"

Sen. Grady Hazelwood of Ama­rillo proposes a constitutional amendment making House mem­bers' terms four years. But the best way to keep officials respon­sive to the people is to require 'em to go back to the people pretty often.

The Senator's amendment pro­hibits legislators from receiving anything of value for voting for or against any legislation. That's against the law now, isn't it—or is it?

His amendment would give each legislator a salary of $4,000 a year and would prohibit a lawmak­er from practicing influence before a state department—but apparent­ly a legislator could still take what is sometimes called a "fee' from somebody whose business is af­fected by proposed legislation.

Getting around over the State: You remember the tune about

the music goes in here and comes out there? Saw a stove in a fill­ing station in Luling that reminds me of the tune. Three sections of old-fashioned stove pipe are laid one on top of the other and con­nected by elbows and that heat goes in at one end, wanders all around and comes out at the other! Looks like a Rube Goldberg invention—but it works.

Near Jacksonville is the rather oddly-named Simpson's Dining Car Orchard—11,000 peach trees.

In LaGrange, two grand old oaks stood in the street so they just ran the paving around them. In­cidentally, the winding highway as one enters LaGrange from the south is most picturesque and gives a beautiful view of the town below.

Best eating in a good while: Backbone and dumplings, with cornbread, at Palestine in the O'Neill Coffee Shop. That was really East Texas cooking at its best!

— f - N — Juan Ochoa, deputy sheriff, an­

nounced this week that he had tendered his resignation to Sheriff Ottis Morrow,1 to became effective Monday, April 21.

He stated that he had accepted a position with the U. S. Bureau of Animal Husbandry as a border guard to prevent the spread of hoof and mouth disease now pre­valent in Mexico. This work is a part of the Federal Cattle Quar­antine enforcement program, ex­tending from the Texas Gulf to the California Coast.

Marking the end of nearly a score of years as law enforcement officer at Presidio, Ochoa said that he resigned with a feeling of re­gret, but wished to express his appreciation for the wholehearted cooperation and support he has re­ceived from the people of Presidio and environs in his efforts to keep the peace and enforce the law here.

A selection of a successor to Ochoa had not been made as this went to press. ..

— P - N — At a meeting of individuals in­

terested in the Red Cross held at the high school Friday, April 7.1, the Presidio branch chapter was reorganized with Mrs. Stanley Casner elected as local chairman.

One of the first acts of the new Presidio chairman was the ap­pointment of Leon P. Fisher as disaster chairman for Presidio. The appointment of a home service representative was deferred for further consideration, by Mrs. Casner.

In order that the new treasurer may have an adequate picture of the present financial condition of the iocai chapter, an audit com­mittee was named to be composed of Leon P. Fisher, chairman, with Mrs. John Link and airs. Clay Slack as member assistants.

Miss Turiff outlined the pro­gram set-up for I1M7 by the Amer­ican Red Cross which will be—(1) First Aid and Accident Preven­tion, (2) Home Nursing, and (Z) Nutrition.

A decision was mado by the group to held a monthly meeting on the second Thursday of each month at the Community Church.

Among those present at the meeting, other than those already mentioned in the official setup, were Mesdames Forrest Walker, James Karstendiek, Orlean Phil­lips, Fred Seggerman and Miss Elsie Wilks.

Mrs. Thomas T. Hollen and sons, Teddy and Skipper, El Paso, are visiting in the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Weatherford, for the next two months, while Mr. Hollen is away on a detail assignment in Califor­nia as an Immigration Inspector.

Checking work done by this agency with the whole-hearted coopera­tion of Martin Knight, Marfa fire marshal, has resulted in the jnecerving of a correction to the Marfa "Specific Rate Schedule" applying to M a r i a property for the year beginning March 1, 1947.

The Fire Insurance Division of tne Board of Insurance Commissioners, Austin, originally announced Marfa property owners would receive a credit of only 10 per cent rather than the 15 per cent they have been enjoying. 9

The correction notice received Monday, March 14, states that the greater credit of 15 per cent will apply to policies written on property that r "&JTC effee$ye March 1, 1$47, and afterward. The letter received with the correction notice reads in this way:

Nails, Peanuts Worry Officials

Wholesale Bewilderment of Officials Results From

Annual Harvest.

WASHINGTON.—John Small, civ­ilian production administrator, is worried over peanuts.

Sec. of Agriculture Clinton Ander­son is worried about nails.

Rep. Stephen Pace of Georgia is worried about Small, Anderson, nails and peanuts. Especially pea­nuts.

This wholesale worrisome condi­tion came about as the result of an old southern custom.

It's peanut time down south, where the usual harvesting meth­od is to hang the peanut vines on stacks. These stacks are made by nailing a couple o«6 slats at right angles to an upright pole.

No Kegs Avsilsfclt. Well, usually they are nailed. But

this year getting a ke^ of nails is about as simple as buying an atom­ic bomb. That's because the civil­ian production administration has reserved most nails for veterans' housing.

One look at the production area figures shows how Pace got into the act. Georgia, his home state, leads the peanut league with 1,523,000 acres. But Alabama has 827,000 acres, South Carolina, 48,000; Flor­ida, 343,000, and Mississippi, 31,000.

Don't worry about Virginia and North Carolina. True, they grow peanuts, but their crops aren't ready yet. Texas and Oklahoma, also major peanutters, use different harvest methods and don't give a hoot about nails.

Georgia Needs 7,000. The agriculture department fig*

ures it takes one and three-quar­ters pounds of nails for each pea­nut acre. This is enough to make Georgia's wants alone add up to 7,000 kegs.

A girl in Pace's office told a re­porter that Pace has informed An­derson that all the farmers will be broke if they don't get nails, and Anderson has replied he has asked Small to see what can be done.

A CPA official said, yes, Small doubtless is fretting about pea­nuts right now.

Pace probably has reached his Americus, Ga„ home by this time, and if you have a spare 8, 10 or 20-penny nail, it might be a nice ges­ture to mail it to him.

It would make some peanut man mighty happy.

A v e r a g e H o u r l y E a r n i n g s H a v e R e a c h e d N e w H i g h WASHINGTON. — Average hour­

ly earnings of the factory worker hit a high of $1.07 in May and climbed to an estimated new high of $1.08 tn June, the labor depart­ment reported.

Weekly earnings dropped in June to $42.46, or 41 cents under May. This was due to the shorter work week in virtually all industries, the bureau of labor statistics said.

Printing and publishing plants re­ported the highest increase in terms of dollars and cents. A gain of $4.42 since May, 1945, brought weekly earnings there to $51.05.

Cave Yields Skeletons Of 150 Japs Butchered

MANILA, P. I. — The skeletal remains of more than 150 Filipinos, jammed in a cave where they were slain by the Japanese, were unearthed recently near Baguio. A woman survivor said the Japanese rounded up the 150 inhabitants of Tuba on April 10, 1945, and put them in the cave as a "refuge from American Dombers." Then they attacked them with grenades and machine guns.

Picture Show People Offer Patient Blood

An emergency call for blood donors was made Sunday evening at the Palace Theater when an announcement was made by P. M. Thomas, manager, that prospective donors go to Searls Hospital at once.

Blood was needed for Jim Har­rington, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Harrington, who was being brought to town from the Har­ringtons' home on Petan Ranch. The young man's condition im­proved rapidly and he was dis­missed from the hospital Wednes­day.

Quite a few left the theater af­ter the call was made and went to the hospital to give blood if needed.

Willie Wells and a bunch of the boys from our town went to Pound Ridge Saturday to a reunion of their old regiment.

There were about two hundred and fifty boys who came from miles around to a good old feast in Farmer Collins' barn. I expect they seemed a lot different to each other out of uniform. But they had a great time, spinning yarns, drinking beer, and talking over the old times in South Africa and Italy and the Aleutians.

I went over to cover the meeting

for the Chorion, and one thing that sare impressed me was the good behavior of those boys—their pref­erence for a moderate beverage like beer—their friendly spirit.

From where I sit. our ex-GX's are making as good a showing in peacetime as they made during the war. And they're setting a mighty good example to the rest of us—in tolerance, and modera­tion, and good fellowship.

THEATER UNUSUAL FILM SETTING—

A large part of the action in "Susie Steps Out," a new musical at the Palace, today and Satur­day, takes place in a television ad­vertising agency. Elaborate sets, extremely modern furniture and luxuriously flowered drapes give this film, the first to delve into television, a truly modern air.

David Bruce, Cleatus Caldwell, beautiful newcomer, and Nita Hunter have the leading roles. Five new hit tunes were especially written for this film.

ACTRESS ALSO MODEL— Lovely Jan Bryant spends her

free time between pictures model­ing the latest Hollywood fashions, and has appeared in many fashion shows staged by Hollywood cos-

turners. Currently she can be seen in Monogram's "Silver Range," starring Johnny Mack Brown, at the Palace, today and Saturday.

"OKLAHOMA'' STAR CLICKS— Having sent Broadway into a

frenzy of acclaim with her per­formances in "Oklahoma 1" and "Bloomer Girl," Celeste Holm is currently making her screen de­but in "Three Little Girls In Blue," at the Palace, Sunday and Monday.

In the 20th Century-Fox Tech­nicolor film she plays a wise Southern girl who has a predatory eye on George Montgomery, and in expression of her frustrated man-hunting sorties, she sings Mack Gordon's sophisticated ballad, "Always The Lady." and, she sings it in a reasonable modulated, but "oomphy" voice.

All of which adds to Celeste's current confusion.

It was while acting on Broadway in a play called "The Damask Cheek," that Celeste was gripped by an urge to apply for a part in "Oklahoma!" which Hammerstein and Rogers were then casting. She auditioned by singing some Grieg and Schumann, but it was no go. They wanted someone who could sing loud and funny. Celeste sang loud and funny and got the part.

In Hollywood, the voice that lifted the roof with "I'm Just A Girl Who Can't Say No," was promptly toned down to practi­cally chanteuse volume—almost just right for Grieg. And the re­sults, so they say, were terrific!

LOOKING] UPWARD— Warner Bros. photographer

Ernie Haller developed a brand new camera angle—the worm's eye view—for a scene in that stu­dio's new mystery. "The Ver­dict." the Sydney Greenstreet-Peter Lorre-Joan Lorring starring film at the Palace, Tuesday only. In the sequence being filmed, a grave was being re-opened by order of Scotland Yard. »

To achieve the proper eerie ef­fect, Mailer had the motion picture camera lowered into the grave on slings. Then as Peter Larre, Syd* ney Greenstree and George Coul-ouris peered into the excavation, he filmed the trio from a worm's angle.

SHE FITS JUST RIGHT— When Edward G. Robinson, star­

ring in "The Red House," learned that Allene Roberts, feminine lead, was only ftve feet and one inch tall, he was very pleased.

"Good," he said. "Now they won't have to put stilts on me as they have in so many of my pic­tures. That's one reason I'm so crazy about Margaret O'Brien."

"The Red House," a Sol Lesser production, is the Palace attrac­tion Wednesday, Thursday.

Pop's on X.PJ

POOR POP! How willingly he took over when Mother got the grippe. But Mother will have a relapse whea she sees what's happened to her favorite kitchen!

Pop hasn't yet caught on to Mother's modem way of keeping house. He hasn't yet learned that dependable dearie service can take a lot of work out of housework—not only in the kitchen, but in every room of the house. For electricity is like many extra pairs of hands for the housewife—and the house-husband, too, when he takes over K. P.

But there's one thing Pop does know, because he's the lad who pays the bills. He knows that electricity is just about the smallest item in his family budget—even though he may not realize that the average family gets twice as much elec­tricity for its money as it did 20 years ago.

It costs so little—and it does so much! Yes, electricity is a big household bargain that comes to Pop—and to you, too-through the practical experience of your friends and neigh­bors in this company, under sound business management.

Miners Scalped Sunday in Frigid Diamond Contest

through the woods with a rifle and a dog failed to dampen the enthu­siasm of the Marfy Indians Sun­day afternoon as they took a base­ball victory from the San Carlos, Mexico, Miners by a count of 15 to 8.

Top scorer of the afternoon for the Indians was Ben Gonzales who made the base circuit three times. Two runs each were scored by R. Natera, J . Walker, H. Garcia, L. Lujan, and M. Quintana.' E. Garsa of the visitors romped around the bases two times and six of his teammates made one run each. '

Walter Polsky and C. Gonzales were the umpires who withstood the bitter wind from 2:15 to 5:15.

The Indians have an open date Sunday but will be in Presidio Sunday, April 27, to take on the Presidio Tigers, up-and-coming baseball team of that town which recently began playing its 1947 schedule of games. Other games— and open dates—that have been announced by the Indians are:

May 4—Open; May 11—Open. May 18—Grandfalls (in Grand-

falls). May 25—Presidio (in Marfa). June 8—Grandfalls (in Marfa). July 13—Presidio fin Presidio). Sept. 7—Presidio (in Marfa). The box score of the Sunday

game here was: MARFA A.B.

along State Highway 118 near the Musquiz ruins. F a t h e r Once Peace Officer

Charles Mulhern, the old ex-sergeant of ordnance, land owner and one time county commissioner, died in December, 1925, at the age of 1)6. His wife had preceded him by several years. Bob Mulhern spent part of his married life at Valentine, and at El Paso, where he was a deputy sheriff for 14 years, it was stated, being a very doughty officer of the law.

Bob Mulhern was a friendly man of wide acquaintance, and a "great hand" for jokes and pithy comment. Telling on the occasion of their fiftieth marriage anniver­sary in 1935, about their wedding, he said:

"In them days you put victuals on the table and anybody ate who was hungry. Nowadays people have got keys and lock their doors to keep out thieves. Nowadays you can help a neighbor butcher a beef and he won't even offer you half the liver." H e l p f u l in Sp ir i t

One had to know Bob Mulhern to perceive the pepper and his amusement in such a comment. No man was exempt from his salty ob­servations, not even to his face. Yet he would walk a mile at mid­night to serve his fellow human beings.

Daniel Mulhern was 18, 1863, at Newport, This writer happened

in on him at his home last Decem­ber 18, his eighty-third birthday. His talk was altogether about his father's military service. Bob could recall names and dates and places as if he himself had been the soldier. His pride in his ser­geant father knew no limit.

The older Mulhern was one of the famous Masons of this region, and the son, Bob, was raised a Master Mason in the lodge at Marfa May 9, 1901. His lodge apron, signed by Sam Miller as Master and O. L. Niccolls as sec­retary, went into the grave with him.

Surviving him are his widow and seven children, the latter be­ing Alice, or Mrs. Bill Bishop, of Marfa; Charles W. Mulhern of Miami. Arizona; Roy Hulher, Val-lejo, California; Joseph S. Mul­hern, El Paso; James Mulhern, who has been with his parents here for sometime; Otto Mulhern, of California; and Mary, or Mrs. Harry Holzheuser of Marfa. The children were present for the funeral except Charles and Otto

APRIL

and they had been here and left only a few days before their fath­er's passing. Also surviving are seventeen grandchildren and sev­en great grandchildren.

Mr. Mulhern was buried with Masonic rites, following a short service at the home conducted by the Rev. A. O. Rue of the Marfa and Fort Davis Presbyterian churches. The Marfa lodge was in charge, Mr. Mulhern having not so long ago been honored by a life membership therein. Three active pallbearers were from the Marfa lodge, Charles Pruett, Charles Bowman and Courtney Mellard; and three from the Fort Davis lodge. E. M. (Bill) Carlton, Harry Jarrett and Barry Scobee. About thirty Masons participated in the ceremonies. The graveside rites were recited by John Mac­Donald of the Marfa lodge. The Oliver Funeral Home, Marfa, had charge.

Honorary pallbearers were W. L. Kingston, Sr., Joe W. Espy, J. Hunter Clark, George Williams, J. W. McElroy, Frank Jones, J. C. Walker, F. M. Miller, Worth Evans, Keesey Miller, Tyrone T. Kelly, C. R. Fryar, Dan McWhor-ter, Dr. C. E. Eaton and Espy Miller.

Blackwell Club To Buy Band Uniforms

Because of certain restrictions which would be enfoiced if they were to remain an affiliated P-T A., parents and teachers of Blackwell Junior High School at their April meeting Wednesday afternoon voted to discontinue af­filiation and in the future will be known as the Parents and Teach­ers Club of Blackwell Junior High School.

Several changes in officers were made because of recent resigna­tions and those who are now in charge of the organization's work ai'e:

Mrs. E. R. Vasquez, president; Mrs. Eva C. Aguilar, vice-presi­dent; Mrs. Ruben Domingas, sec­retary; Mrs. Elisa Medine, treas­urer and Miss Mary Bristol, press reporter.

A cake sale for Friday, April 11, was announced—the sale to be held at the school, and plans for

the securing of uniforms for the Blackwell band were discussed. This will be the next project un­dertaken by the organization.

A treasurer's report of $441.79 in the bank was made.

At the conclusion of the program and business session refreshments of punch and cookies were served.
