COLLEGE STATION", April 1?
(Spl) There are a lot of oondt

of nomi weeds. According to R. E
Cullender, specialist in wildlifr
cons 'rvat'on for the Texas Agri
cultural Extension Service, thesr
growths can b - controlled.
He points out thnt pond owner;
should remerriN'r that pond weed:

provide excellent habitat for w-.ter
insects and tiny crustaceans which
are valuable fish food. They alsr
provide hiding places for the smal-
ler fishes and he suggests tha'
such growths not be completely
eradicated from the fish pond3.
Generally, he says, pond weed*
are of two types, submersed anil
"inenfent. The mosses make up
'.he first gruun and the second is
composed of plants which are root-
ed and grow from tb "--ha!'-'" hot

the pond. Thev krow oi-incro h\

aadi. cattails, bulrushes and other
similar plants.
In ponds or tanks where moss
growth is not excessive. Ca'lendei
savs, r. good fertilizing program
will aid in controlling moss. Ferti-
lixer increasr-s the growth of
olankton in the water and this
-auses a murking which is often
heavy enough to prevent sunlight
from p -netr.iting the water. With-
out -sunlight, the mosses make lit-
Me growth :md often die. There-
fore. sjiys the specialist, a fertiliz-
ing program is a two-in-one deal—
improves the food supply for fish
ana slows down underwater moss

People Flee By
Hundreds Before
Mighty Missouri
<Bv UNITED PRESS)
The Red Cross said that Army
engineers in Sioux City, Iowa,
have given up hope of using sand-
bags to stem the great flood crest
rolling down the wild Missouri
Itive.. And the city is squared a-
way for a m i.ior disaster.
Already 1.500 families have find
lowland areas of the town, takine
refuge in Red Cross shelters or
with friends and relatives, even
though the mightiest crest in 71
years is not expected to strike un-
til late tomorrow or early Monday.
The Army engineers at Sioux
Citv are unwilling to predict just
where the flood might -.trike hard-
est. A spokesman says the Mis-
souri has "taken ii different
course" in every flood. He adds:
"It's a sit and watch proposition
now."
North, in the wake of the south-
moving crest, the cities of Pierre
and Fort Pierre, South Dakota, are
slowly coming to life, a sloppy,
mud-caked life.
W: ters that stood four feet deep
in the main streets earlier this
week arc oozing slowly back.
Flood-seasoned residents are try-
ing to clean up the mud before it
cakes like cement to walls, floors
and windows.
Meanwhile, the Red River is
forcing more families to flee their
homes in North Dakota. Between
25 to 30 Fargo families have been
evacuated.
And further downstream, in the
heavily-populated Omaha-Council
Blufis, la., metropolitan area, re-
vised estimates promised a mon-
strous 30-foot crest next Thurs-
day.
Lceves and flood walls protect-
ing the two cities just weren't built
fu that kind of high water.
Never in recorded history has
'h-> M ssouri River carried such a
load. R:,pid melting of an unusual-
ly heavy snow cover in the Dako-
tas is responsible.
The worst was still from two to
six days away along the Iowa-Ne-
braska reaches. But : Iready an es-
timated 5.000 persons in the area
were homeless. Entire towns in the
flatland valley : djoining the river
in Iowa were being abandoned.

Pilot John Burn
Put Under Guard
The government of Puerto Rico
Vi' placed eu.nrd over Pan-Amer-
ican pilot John Burn in San Juan.
The government refuses to let
Hum leave his hospital room. It
also refuses to admit his wife,
singer Jane Froman, to visit him.
Burn piloted the airliner that
crashed at sea yesterday off San
Juan, killing 52 of the Hi) persons
aboard. Miss Froman flew to San
Juan from New York to be with
her husband, who saved her in an-
other trans-Atlantic crash nine
years ago.

Five In Hospital
After Wreck On
Albany Highway
Fi\e persons were hospitalized
in art Albany hospital early Satur-
day morning after being involved
in a head-on collosion 4 '.j miles
west of Breckenridge on Highway
180.
Sheriff Tom Offield said that he
was notified of the accident, which
occured about 2 a. m. Saturday,
but wrs not able to discover the
seriousness of the injured.
The accident occurred when a car
driven by Pauline Cotten, of Al-
bany, allegedly got across the cen-
terline of the highway and smack-
ed head-on a car driven by Rogei
V. Stevens, on leave from the
Naval Training Station in ' San
Diego.
Both cars were total losses, said
Offield.
Steven's car, which was goitiR
east, flipped around and went 150
feet on the highway before turn-
ing around. The other car, owned
by Pauline Alexander of Albany,
went 200 feet before turning over
in a ditch on the south side of the
road.
Hospitalized were Pauline Cot-
ten". Pauline Alexander, J. W. Alex-
ander, Frances Alexander, all ir
the same car, and one unidentified
sailor in the other car. Also un-
identified were another sailor com-
panion in Stevens' car and an oc
jupant of the Alexander car. H. B
Higgins, sixth member in the Alex-
ander car, was Unhurt.
Those hospitalized were taken to
Albany in a private car-, following
the aecident.
Stevens paid a $14 fine in Jus-
tice of the Peace Court this morn-
ing on a charge of driving without
an operator's license.
Offield said a complaint would
'ip filed against the driver of the
ither car charging being on the
•viong side of the road.

HONS CLOI MEMBERS TELL
PET PEEVES AT LUNCHEON
A program of members telling
their favorite gripe, or gripes, was
conducted at the Breckenridge
Lions Club Friday by John Ed
Douglass, program chairman, the
prize a cut of Tinsley chewing
tobacco going to John F. Builey.
Mr. Bailey's main gripe was that,
of students missing school, then
their parents writing the teacher
an excuse that they were sick when
the student was taken out of town
—it teaches the children to lie, he
said. He gave two more—his news-
paper not. being on the lawn in the
morning and afternoon, and get-
ting belli ltd a slow car on the fast
ane of a two-lane highway.
A. H. Miller got the biggest
augh when he said his main grip'
it to attend the meeting of the
Lions Club and have to listen to
Bernice Trammeil. Trammell, who
is tail twister, prompiy fined him
i dime. •
Dr. H.. H. Cartwright's pet peeve
is the trend of the times. We have
ost our virginity, he said, we have
been roughly violated, and the so-
'liilists have taken over.
Mayor P. M. Fah'kne"
hat his is to grab the telephone
hen remember that it cannot be
used. That the continuous
Ving held is to avoid breaking
contract.
Joe Hanna's oeeve is club i""m-
losing their button* and then
finding them in Trnrnmell's ottrc
—anotner fine of a dime—and
members paying their dues so late
after receiving notice.
C. M. Hall's is that of the habit
of so many people making an ap-
pointment at a specific time, and
being thirty minutes late, and enU
ing people to a meeting to start at
---time n«d last thirty
minutes, then experience the meet-
