SIXTH GRADE BAND, numbering 25 students, were included in an end of school party for
them and fifth grade band members during the last week of school. Each student received
one of four awards for his achievement during the past school year, ranging from average to

program. These bands will start fall practice Aug. 2.

missioners approved Mrs.
Sherman’s request raising
Linda Villarreal from $450 a
month to $482, and Mrs.
Rothlisberger from $485 to
$510.
In other business the court
was approached by members
of the County Library Board
with Mrs. Paroda Deitch ac-
ting as spokesman for the
group. The Board has
requested the county to pick-up
the once federally funded
Children’s Services of the
County Library.
Mrs. Deitch of Sinton and,
chairman of the board, Mrs.
Mary Jane McFarland of
Gregory, Mrs. Lyra Sparks of
Portland, Mrs. Meredith
Moore of Arnasas Pass all
spoke on behalf of the
Children’s Program and the
need for its learning benefits
locally. A contingent of nine
women representing the
county library were on hand to
petition the court’s approval of
a $10,083.84 budget.
The monthly allocation of
$840.32 was asked to begin July
1, but the court queried the
source of these funds without
amending the present county
budget. The proposed
children’s program budget is
comprised of salary, $7,200;
Social Security, $421.20;
Retirement, $504; Insurance,
$308.64; Mileage, $1,350 ($750
per month); and Materials and
Operating Expenses; $300. The
Commissioners approved the
request with hopes of con-
tinuing the program through
1977.
Other items on the agenda
were:
— Approved the hiring of two
appraisers for additional solid
waste disposal property. The
need for additional acreage is
present and proposed property
will have to be condemned.
Approximately 40 to 60 acres
will be required.
— Approved a resolution
with the State Department of
Highways and Public Tran-
sportation designating Farm to
Market Road 3024.
— Accepted dredging bids
for a boat ramp at Ingleside
Cove, precinct No.4, and called
for a contract between the
county and the Texas Parks
and Wildlife Department.
— Appointed the County
Health Officer as volunteer
county coordinator for the flu
immunization program.
— Proposed Mrs. George
Derry, Ramiro Herrera of
Portland and Joe A. Ramirez
of Mathis for membership into
the San Patricio County
Welfare Board.
— Approved a one year
extension of the Cooperative
Agreement between the State
Department of Welfare and
San Patricio County with the
idea of continuing to carry out
the provisions of federal and
state laws and regulations
regarding Aid to Families with
Dependent Children.
— Authorized the auditor to
advertise for bids on four cars
for the Sheriff’s Department (2
cars will be purchased without
a (rade-in and two cars with a
trade-in).
— Approved the employment
of Rodolfo Villa, deputy
sheriff in the Ingleside area.
Villa is former Chief of Police
in Ingleside.
— Okayed the employment of
Susan McCarley and Erlinda
Moreno in the Probation
Department with salaries
being paid through the
criminal justice grant. Also,
the Court approved a raise for
Probation Officer Ray Hymel,
Jr. with funds for his increase
coming from the Aransas
County allocation of the
Criminal Justice Grant.
— Hear requests for new
employment in the emergency
jobs program approving six
individuals in precinct 1, two in
precinct 2 and one in precinct 3.
In addition, two positions were
filled under the same program
with the county engineer’s
office, and two on a countywide
basis.
— Dick Hatch requested two
promotions in his office of
County Attorney as a result of a
resignation. The com-
missioners approved the
promotion of Mildred Moreno
and Rosalinda Flores.
— Changed the Com-
missioners next meeting from
Thursday, June 24 to Wed-
nesday, June 23, at 10 a.m.

county auditor’s office on Title
II and IV emergency jobs
programs.
SPAIN-

inverted pyramids each having
three sides depicting the dif-
ferent aspects of our American
heritage. The three pyramids
would be set in a triangular
foundation.
The depictions would not be
painted, but would be mosaic
tiles placed in the right places
to form the historical scenes.
All of the sculpturing of the tile
would be made and organized
in Spain.
If the request is fulfilled by
the Spanish government, and
with the approval of the
Commissioner’s Court, the
final memorial would be
erected on or before October
12,1977. Tom Utter noted that it
appears that notification of
acceptance by Spain would
take several months.
The approximate cost of
building the structure would be
$4,000 to $5,000 with most of the
money being secured with
donations. The Spanish
government would ship the
finished tile here but it will be
the responsibility of the county
to erect the structure if enough
donations are not acquired.
Utter noted that Spain’s
donation would be ap-
proximately $25,000 to the
project.
As mentioned above, the
memorial is of local design,
and was forwarded to Clifford
Cason and Associates, ar-
chitects and engineers of San
Antonio, for final plans.
A resolution was passed by
the Court Monday
acknowledging support of the
proposed Spanish gift to the
county.
Local
Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Martin’s
son, Lonnie Martin and family,
spent the weekend visiting
here. Other guests were Mr.
and Mrs. Orlando Sanchez and
family, who stayed from
Monday until Friday.

NOT YOUR ORDINARY COTTON. Several varieties of okra-
leaf cotton were shown during the annual cotton and grain
sorghum tour Monday in this field near Edroy. A. T.
Chopelas of Mathis has grown some of this variety for
several years. Observers say that okra-leaf allows more
room for sunlight, air and insecticide.

were being grown on the farm,
along with 63 grain sorghum
hybrids representing 23 dif-
ferent brands.
Among the many cotton
varieties were several of the
okra-leaf type, which drew the
attention of many of the ap-
proximately 100 men present.
One of these varieties was
discovered by A. T. Chopelas of
Mathis in one of his fields
several years ago.
From the Adams Farm, the
tour’s second stop was at the
Jack Schmalstieg farm on FM
1944 in the Sodville community
where 67 sorghum hybrids
were planted on a different soil
type and planting date.
DR. JOSE AMADOR, area extension pathologist, is shown as
he discussed Maize Dwarf Mosaic (MDM) and other
sorghum diseases during the county cotton and grain tour
Monday, beginning near Edroy.
