Luis M. Yzaguirre, owner of
""earl Beer Distributing Co. of
Rio Grande City, has been a-
warded an all expense paid trip
to Munich, Germany for him-
self and his wife Norma by the
Pearl Brewing Company.
Yzaguirre won the 7 day ex-
cursion to this famous Euro-
pean City in a state wide Dis-
tributor sales contest of Pearl
Beer. 103 Distributors were
eligible from which a total ofl5
winners were named.
In qualifying as a winner, the
Rio Grande City Pearl Distri-
butor registered a 17.78 sales
increase from February to July
over the same period last year.
Frank Paul, Pearl Vice Pres-
ident and Beer Division Brand
Manager, announced the winners
two weeks ago after final tabu-
lations were completed for
Pearl Beer sales over the G
month period.
In making the announcement,
Paul congratulated the winners
on their achievement and stated,
"The effort and understanding
of each Pearl Distributor to
service the needs of his own
community is the greatest sin-
gle factor that contributed to
these sales increases. As a
Texas beer, Pearl has been a
favorite in this state since the
founding of the Brewery in
18886, and in the tradition of
the Pearl Brewing Company, a
personal awareness of local
environment is the measure of
every Pearl distributor."
Mr. and Mrs. Yzaguirre will
meet with other winners at the
Pearl Brewery on September
28th where they will be greeted
by the City of San Antonio "Red
Carpet" Welcoming Committee
and other top Pearl Executives.
The party will breakfast in
the new Jersey Lilly Hospitality
Center on the Brewery grounds
and depart by Braniff to New
York and the Lufhansa Boeing
747 to Munich.
The visit will coincide with
the centuries old German cele-
bration of Oktoberfest. An an-
nual fall festival involving an
activity that should come easy
to Luis and his friends ....
plenty of beer drinking.
S. P. Cowan, Superintendent
of Schools in Rio Grande City,
has announced that a regional
workshop for sixth grade teach-
ers was held at the Multi Pur-
pose Center, last week. Jack
Dellinger, a consultant from
the Region I Education Service
Center, was in charge of the
program which was hosted by
Miss Emma Solis, Director of
Counseling and Guidance for the
Rio Grande City Public Schools.
The purpose of the workshop
was to prepare sixth grade
teachers to participate in a
state wide testing program in
reading and mathematics which
has been funded by Title III of
the Elementary and Secondary
Education Act.
Twenty five teachers and
counselors representing
schools in Rio Grande City, La
Union, La Grulla, Roma, Zapa-
ta and Hebbronville attended
the 2 hour morning session.
Demo Convention
Dolph Briscoe gave a little and
took a little Tuesday in con-
trolling the September Demo-
cratic state convention.
There was scant mention of
the national Democratic ticket
during the nine-hour session but
supporters of Sen. George
McGovern were exhuberant lat-
er, claiming they had out-
maneuvered George Wallace's
people.
Actually everybody got a
little of what they wanted—
which was the way Briscoe
planned the convention.
Briscoe not only managed to
keep the warring actions under
control at the convention but he
also was successful in placing
key supporters as heads of the
State Democratic Executive
Committee and on the National
Democratic Executive Com-
mittee.
The new 65-member State
Democratic Executive Com-
mittee contains only 11 mem-
l>ers that served during the
Gov. Preston Smith regime. A
nurnl>er of these are McGovern
and Wallace backers who liave
not had a hand in politics at the
state leven before.
All members of the state and
national committees are sworn
to support the larty nominees.
A ixirty platform drafted by
Briscoe's people received only
minor changes at the hands of
the convention. It takes a mild
stand against forced school bus-
ing and a strong stand for Law
and order legislation. It valso
calls for a code of ethics for
public officials that would
make all of them, down to the
local level, file financial re-
ports.
"Let us face the future with a
Texas Democratic party which
is alive and vital, a party
whose strength is forged by the
fires of diversity," Briscoe said
in his keynote address.
The ' fires of diversity" ap-
peared numerous times during
the convention as tempers
flared over political differ-
ences.
About 14 delegates from
Smith County (Tyler), each
tarrying Confederate flags and
sporting large Wallace buttons,
staged a small demonstration
and walked out of the con-
vention hall. "We got tired of
just sitting," said Mrs. Sarah
Wright, Tyler, "We're sick of
the Democrats and I think I'll
vote for Henry Grover (Re-
publican candidate for gover-
nor).
The convention's closest and
most controversial vote tame
over a suggested resolution
supporting the farm workers
lettuce boycott. Chairman Will
David at first said a voice vote
defeated the resolution. There
was instant chaos amid de-
mands for a roll call. A poll of
delegations, after a long delay
in convention proceedings,
showed the resolution approved
1.800 to 1,804.
and theft of his <ar, the Colby
announcement said.
Florida businessman Glenn W.
Turner says he plans to sell his
legally emlattled corporate
empire.
The 37-year-old Turner told
the Miami Herald Tuesday he
expects to collect SI billion
from the sale of his 10-com[iany
conglomerate over the next five
years. He did not divulge fur-
ther details.
He said Arms in Glenn W.
Turner Enterprises Inc.
grossed $120 million last year.
Legal actions have been filed
in at least 42 states against
Turner's "Dare to be Great, a
self-confidence building pro-
gram, and a cosmetics com-
pany called Koscot Inter-
planetary Inc., attacking pri-
marily the marketing practices
of the two firms.
Turner also faces trial in
Clearwater, Fla., Oct. 4 on 86
counts of selling unregistered
securities.
