(Continued from page one)
headlight of Cardenas' 1951 Ford
automobile, ripping out the fender
door and left side of the vehicle.
Taylor said the car was flipped
around, then rolled over, coming
to rest on its wheels in the bar
ditch. Cardenas, thrown out of the
car at the time of the impact, was
pinned under the right rear wheel
and officers had to lift the car off
of him in order to remove the
body.
Two women, believed to be Car-
denas’ daughters were injured in
the wreck, but the extent of their
injuries were not known. Taylor
said that both were hysterical and
were not questioned prior to the
time they left the scene in a pri-
vate vehicle.
Neither Rodriguez nor the passen
ger in his pickup. Domingo Solis
was injured.
Rodrigues, Saturday morning,
was in Hockley County Jail fac-
ing charges of driving without a
license. Taylor said that more ser-
| ious charges would probably be
filed against him.
jle said that the driver of the
pickup was definitely on the wrong
side of the road.
Justice of the Peace J. G. Green
of Anton held an inquest at the
scene of the wreck and the body
was brought to Levelland by ajnon; two brothers. Chalma, Polar,
George C. Price Ambulance. j and George, Abernathy.
Investigating the wrrtck along
with Taylor were Patrol Sgt. E. L
Stroud and Deputy Lloyd Bolin c
Anton.

sioner Jim) Preuit that the fol
lowing recommendations as sut>
mitted to the court by Judge Wil-
liams at the January term of court

ty supplies on advertised bids as
outlined in Articles 2358 through
2367 as contained in the County
Commissioner Legal Guide. ,

forth on equipment purchased for
the County or any precinct be pur-
chased according to the statutes
governing same which specifies
that they must be purchased on
bid basis.
3. I further recommend that the
court as individuals and as a whole
adhere strictly to matters or reso-
lutions and motions made as re-
corded in the Minutes of the Com-
missioners Court pertaining to all
things.
4. It is further recommended
that the court at this time select

da for a period of one week prior

Savings and Loan
Stockholders Meet
The Board of Directors and stock
holders of the Levelland Savings
and Loan Association met at noon
at the San Andres Hotel Thurs-
day, Jan. 12.
A review of the operations of the
past year was preserved by James
Headstream. ‘
Headstream was promoted to ex-
ecutive vice president at the meet-
ing.
"A very successful year,” said
Lamar West, president of the as-
sociation. “Assets of the associa-
tion grew from $652,850.58 to $1,-
000,642.88 during the year." A total
of 410 savings account holders re-
ceived $22,582.80 in dividends dur-
ing the year. Savings accounts in
the association are for all “sizes
of savers,” West said. Our savings
accounts range in size from $1 to
$10,000.00 and a savings account
can be opened with a minimum
deposit of $1.
•Recent insurance and trust fail-
ures over Texas have upset many
people in their savings plans but.
says West “our savings accounts
are insured up to $10,000 on each
account by an agency of the Fed-
eral Government."
Brazil Visitor
Guest on Panel
PTA members from all schools
n the Levelland area have been
invited to attend a special panel
session featuring Ruy de Alencar,
a visiting teacher from Brazil and
Levelland school and PTA person-
nel.
The panel sponsored by the Cao-
tus Elementary PTA, will be held
at 2:45 p m. Thursday, Jan. 19, at
he Cactus Elementally Cafeteria
in east Levelland.
Serving on the panel along witfr
Alencar will be G. S. Beasley, Le£
'•Hand secondary co-ordinator, mod
erator for the panel; Supt. O. W.
Marcom. Cactus, Principal L. F.
Rawson, teachers Mrs. James Har-
der, Mrs. Fave Rogers and Mr*.
Bert Stockard, and Mrs. , E. E.
Simpson, president of the PTA city
council, and Mrs. H. G. Atwood*
3 representative of the Cactu*
PTA.
area residents might learn morft
area resident might learn more
about Brazil and its schools and
io that Alencar, from a country
which has no PTA organization,
might ask question about the PTA
and schools in this section.
Mrs. James M. Cox, Cactu*
PTA president, has urged that all
members and parents from ovff
the entire area who can attend the
session.
Refreshments wiil be served af-;
ter the meeting.
On the business agenda of the
cactus club, also, is the selction
of a nominating committee to

unit, 150 new folding chairs and in
giving the whole darn place a good
elbow cleaning and fingernail paint
ing.
It needed it for sure.
But the whole crux of the 250
or so words was that due to “lack
of interest and support" the exec-
utive committee had decided they’d
better sell their legion hall in order
to keep from becoming delinquent
on utilities, insurance, taxes and
ruining "the good and honorable
name of the American Legion.”
oOo
What they want local Leg-
ionnaires to do is show up for
Monday night's meeting if
they’ve got the energy, and try
to decide if the body’s got
enough Ufe in it for reviving,
or if they should call the un-
dertaker.
It’s a sad state of affairs for
any organization.
oOo
Organizations are like people.
When they retire they have an in-
clination to rust out and die.
If a man finds out he’s not any
use to anybody on this earth,
there’s no use to call a doctor.
He’s a goner. Telling him he’s got
one good game of mumbly-peg or
Chinese checkers left in him ain’t
gonna help.
Same’s true for an organization.
