Science Seminar
Held At Slants
Science teachers and adminis-
trators of eight small schools met
recently for work in improvement
of their science curriculum.
Schools represented were Har-
per, Tilden, Utopia, Yancy, Center
Point, Batesville, Medina and
D’Hanis.
General objectives of the pro-
jects were: The broadening of
Science Educational Horizons,
Correlation of Materials, Develop-
ment of Intellectual Concepts, and
The Improvement of the Science
Curriculum. From this workship
has developed a curriculum out-
line for the improvement of sci-
ence in grades one through
twelve.
The culmination of this project
represents a major breakdown in
the unification of Science Educa-
tion and a major step forward for
Texas education. Supt. E. Dean

Junction Eagle—Although all
five bidders for the construction
of the planned dam on the South
Llano under the supervision of
the Kimble County Water Con-
trol and Improvement District,
Junction were too high when
opened last Friday afternoon, in-
dications are that economics may
be effected which will make con-
struction of the project possible.
Allen Keller Co., Fredericks-
burg, was low bidder with $184,-
273.00. He proposed to do the
work in 200 days.
Other bids were J. B. Burke
Construction Co., San Angelo,
$221,574.00 in 180 days, Chas. B.
Jones and Bill Shannon, San An-
tonio, $284,474.00 in 290 days and
McKenzie Construction Co., San
Antonio, $338,759.00 on 300 days.
Alton Murr, Junction, was low
with $1,575 on the four bids to
clear the channel before construc-
tion starts. He planned to do
the work in 15 days.
Other channel bids were: Bur-
ke $3,700.00, 30 days, Jones &
Shannon $3,920.00, 60 days; Kel-
ler $4,327.00, 30 days with a re-
duction of $1,500 if awarded the
construction contract; Verlan
Skaggs, $4,424.00 and 45 days.
CONFERENCE
Low bidder Keller, Drought
and members of the Water Dis-
trict met in conference in the
Junction National Bank follow-
ing the bid reading.
There possible economies in
the construction were discussed.
It was agreed that Keller meet
in Drought’s office in San An-
tonio February 22 and work out
the savings in detail.
Kimble Water District has
available $190,000 from a recent
bond issue. Preliminary expens-
es and engineering fee due and
channel clearing will run Kel-
ler’s bid to the point where the
shortage is in the neighborhood
of $12,000.00.
At the bank, Keller’s estimator
thought the elimination of a two
foot super-structure for foot
traffic on the dam would save
$8,200. Other economies in con-
struction without weakening the
stability of the dam were thought
possible.
With the drawing of the detail
plans and readings of bids the
Water Board owed Drought his
engineering fee, six and three-
quarter percent of the cost of
the dam. He asked for and re-
ceived an advance of $5,000.00
from the Junction National Bank
for which he assigned that por-
tion of the Water Districts debt
to the bank. Bank can collect its
money when bonds are sold.
Keller said that he was in a
position to get on the job right
away, the sooner the better. He
wants to finish it in June if pos-
sible.
This will give the city the re-
creational lake so created as a
tourist attraction for the coming
summer.

MISS MOHAIR PAGEANT
PLANS FOR APRIL 23
ANNOUNCED
C. A. Davis Jr., Brown wood real
estate developer has been named
chairman of the Miss Mohair
Pageant scheduled for April 23-24
in the Brownwood Coliseum, and
names of the first three contes-
tants to enter the event have been
submitted to the Brownwood
Chamber of Commerce office.
Invitations have been sent to
civic organizations and other
groups throughout the mohair
production areas of the nation to
enter representatives in the con-
test. Unlike previous pageants,
this year Miss Mohair will be se-
lected and crowned during the
Brownwood ceremonies.
In past years, only the finalists
have participated in the actual
pageant. This year approximtely
25 contestnts from Texas and
other states are expected to ar-
rive for the two-day round of
judging, coronation, and queen’s
ball.
Judges this year will be Mrs.
Virginia Drane McCallon, fashion
editor of the Houston Post, Bob
AP in Fort Worth, and Mrs. A. J.
Ethredge, farm director of MB
Presson of Lake Brownwood, for-
merly a partner in Barnes and
Company, San Angelo.
The first three contestants to
register are Miss Pam Shear, 18,
sophomore student at Texas Uni-
versity of Kerrville and sponsor-
ed by the Kerrville Junior Cham-
ber of Commerce, Miss Janell
Jemigan, 21, a junior student at
Southern Methodist University,
sponsored by the Central Texas
Angora Goat Breeders Associa-
tion of Goldthwaite, and Miss Di-
sne Murr, junior student at North
Texas State University, from
Junction. She is being sponsored
hy the Kimbell County Chamber
°f Commerce.

A third meeting has been cal-
led for Thursday night, March 4,
at 7 p. m. at the Stonewall Res-
taurant at which time two Field
Survey representatives of the
State Soil Conservation Service,
Temple, will be on hand to listen
to local proposals and possibly
make suggestions on projects in
Gillespie and Blanco Counties.
Representatives of all civic or-
ganizations in Gillespie and
Blanco Counties, together with
the Commissioners Courts of
these two counties, the City Com-
mission of Fredericksburg, Blan-
co and Johnson City, and mem-
bers of the C. C. Committee as
well as others, have been invit-
ed to attend. Representatives
will also be present from the
Gillespie County and Pedernales
(Blanco County) Soil & Water
Conservation District and the
Gillespie County Water Control
& Improvement District, as well
as local representatives, Dudley
Mann and Bud Smathers, of the
Soil Conservation Service.
It is hoped that plans will
develop to construct dams wher-
ever feasible or practical on the
entire Pedemales River Water-
shed. This includes not only
the Pedernales River, but all
tributaries, creeks, etc., which
run into the Pedemales.
In addition to the possible con-
struction of dams, or a series of
dams for ultimate creation of re-
creation lakes, other projects
such as Dude Ranches, restora-
tion of pioneer homes or business
buildings, creation of public
parks ■O'’i picrffCY areas, a Pd even
private businesses are invited to
enter the overall “Resource and
Development” project.
Members of the Fredericksburg
C. C. Soil & Water Committee,
in addition, to Kraus and Dietel,
are: Allen Keller, City Commis-
sioner Gilbert Kaderli, Kermit C.
Striegler, City Water Supt. Wal-
ter O. Fuhrmann, Hilmar Wein-
heimer jr., Gus Basse and Kurt
Hansen.
This committee called on del-
egates from Harper, Stonewall,
Johnson City and Blanco to meet
with them at the Fredericksburg
C. C. office several weeks ago.
Enthusiasm was so great among
this group who were in attend-
ance that it was decided to pro-
ceed without undue delay in see-
ing what could be done about the
opportunities afforded by the
Federal Government in the con-
struction of flood prevention and
recreation dams, etc. A coor-
dinated application is to be form-
ulated, with Blanco County and
Gillespie County to merge their
overall plans . . . these calling
for a complete and thorough
survey of the entire Pedemales
River Watershed if at all pos-
sible.
Projects in this connection, it
was learned, are unlimited and
are not restricted to the con-
struction of dams, or creation of
lakes, etc., alone. The overall
project will include “Resource
and Development”, and this cov-
ers a broad field of potentialities.
At the committee’s meeting last
Thursday it was agreed to ask
for volunteers who might be in-
terested in a “Dude Ranch”, or a
private recreation area of this
type, with cabins, etc. Anyone,
in Gillespie or Blanoo County,
who has ever contemplated or
would like to have such a facility
on their place, is invited to sub-
mit such plans and leave them
at the Fredericksburg Chamber
of Commerce office prior to
March 4. Similarly, other con-
templated projects are invited
and these will be reviewed and
taken up for discussion.
Admiral Nimitz Turns 80 Wednesday
San Francisco—-Five-star Adm.
Chester W. Nimitz, the most self-
effacing man who ever went
down to sea in ships, turned
80 Wednesday.
■•The* ocmt&sjt&ir-of 1,000 'ships
and two million men in the is-
land-hopping World War II cam-
paign against Japan observed
the occasion in requested privacy
at his home on Treasure Island
in San Francisco Bay.
Catherine, his wife of 52 wed-
ded years, will be there, as will
a few old friends. Typically,
the erect, quiet admiral with
the almost shy smile isn’t say-
ing wh.o they are.
“No interviews.”
That’s an order, sir.
On his 75th birthday, the navy
staged a big party. And the
admiral grumbled:
“Am I looking forward to
this? I’m looking forward to
the end of it. I feel the same
way about it as the man who
bought himself a small boat; his
two happiest days were when he
bought it and when he sold it.”
The white-haired, soft spoken
man whose mind in a storehouse
of heroics in the Pacific has
never written one line of mem-
oirs. He says he never will.
Admiral Nimitz—he’s still on
active duty as a special assist-
ant to the secretary of the Navy
and plans never to retire—takes
a dim view of memoirs. Usual-
ly, he says, these contain "many
critical remarks and self-praise
at the expense of others.”
“Any memoirs I wrote could
not add historically to what has
been written,” he insists.
He did condescend in a re-
cent written exchange with a
newspaper to point out that
Pearl Harbor, 1941, could have
beet worse- .*
Had the Japanese aircraft car-
rier fleet caught the U. S. fleet
at sea instead of at Pearl Har-
bor the U. S. losses might have
been 20,000 men instead of 3,800.
And, had the Japanese returned
to deal air blows at fuel sup-
plies and the submarines, the
whole complexion of the war
might have been changed.
Each day on Treasure Island,
the man whose Navy career
spanned 63 years, arises at 6:30
a. m. and does setting-up exer-
cises.
A fall more than a year ago
inflamed the muscle in his right
hip. So he can’t exercise as he
once did. But he works on it.
After a light breakfast, the
admiral takes a walk. From his
yard near a pier of the San
Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge,
he can watch the passing of
ships where once warships mov-
ed out to action or back for re-
pairs and refittings at Hunters
Point Naval Shipyard.
The walk over, he plunges in-
to a mass of mail which he gets
daily. He interrupts for a light
lunch and a nap. Then it’s back
to his desk for more paper
work.
Like the man himself, dinner
is moderate. After that, there’s
reading with his wife, some oc-
casional television and early re-
tirement.

Texas.
Harry D. Jersig, president of
the Lone Star Beer, made the
purchase in the name of Pres-
ident Lyndon B. Johnson, on
whose ranch the champion steer
was bred. The steer has been
donated to the Boys Clubs of
San Antonio, and will be exhib-
ited to raise funds for their
many programs. The 1964 grand
champion, purchased by Lone
Star Brewing Company, also
was donated to the same club,
and more than $300 cleared from
his personal appearances.
Kevin, 10, is a fourth grader
at Stonewall school, and the son
of Dale Malechek, whose father
is manager of the LBJ Ranch
at Stonewall.
When asked what he would do
with the proceeds of the sale,
Kevin said he was going to bank
the money which he hoped would
be a good start in putting him
through Texas A&M.
“Sancho” is out of LBJ Colo
Husker, one of the herd sires.
He was a November 1963 calf
from one of the ranch’s commer-
cial cows. Malechek said that
the ranch furnished many of th»
Fredericksburg FFA and other
j exhibitors with steer calves.
