With spring breezes and sun-
shiny days at hand, youngsters
thoughts are turning to kite
flying, and power and light com-
pany officials today issued an
appeal to parents to warn chil-
dren regarding precautions
which should be taken in the
pursuit of this popular past-
time. Each year brings many
serious accidents because of
carelessness in flying kites in
the vicinity of electric power
lines.
In order to avoid accidents
in this community, thiese five
precautions are suggested,
which, if observed, will mini-
mize the hazards of kite fly-
ing: -. •
(1) Don’t fly Kites in the
vicinity of electric power lines.
(2) Don’t climb a pole or
use a stick in order to dislodge
a kite or string entangled in
power wires.
(3) Don’t fly kites with metal
strings.
(5) Don’t fly kites with wet
strings.
(5) Don’t pick up a wire
which might have fallen to the
ground.
The local power and light com-
pany representatives expressed
their desire to cooperate to
keep down accidents. If kites
become entangled in electric
power lines, a company em-
ploye will be glad to help in
retrieving it. But the best rule
possible is not fly kites neaf
power lines.

the interest of “Wildlife Week”
which is being observed
throughout the nation this
week, March 20 to 26. Mr.
Koerth is chairman of Austin

number of stamps at the New

these beautiful stamps may get
them yet before Saturday night.
Further details are given in
the following item taken from
the Bellville Times of last week:
"When the topsoil goes, man
goes.” It was Theodore Roose-
velt, pioneer in nation-wide con-
servation. that first spoke this
truth. Wildlife Week, which be-
gins March 20 by proclamation
of President Roosevelt, will car-
ry to all parts of the country
the message that conservation
begins at the grass roots. Wild-
life, of field, forest, and stream,
depends on conditions that are
also necessary to human life.
Man-made deserts are already
visible in the United States,
caused by unwise use of the
land( lust bowls, erosion, dis-

symptoms of the sickness oi
Mother Earth that scientific
restoration alone can cure.

. Cat Spring, March 19.—The
Cat Spring School entertained
with an Invitation Volley Ball
Tournament on Friday, March
18th with Bellville, New Ulm,
Frydek, and Rockhouse parti-
cipating. Cat Spring won the
tournament with New Ulm
second and Rockhouse third and
Bellville fourth.
Since the unfavorable weath-
er conditions caused one of the
teams to arrive late, it be-
came necessary to deviate from
regular tournament procedure.
In the first round New Ulm
defeated Frydek 15-6 and 15-3,
and Cat Spring was carried to
three games by Bellville with
final scores at 15-2, 10-15, and
15-9 respectively. Rockhouse
the pre-tournament favorite
went into the second round on
a bye.
New Ulm drew the bye in
the second round, leaving Cat
Spring and Rockhouse to bat-
tle it out for the other final
spot. Cat Spring came from be-
hind by takihg two of the
three games from Rockhouse.
The respective scores were
12-15, 15-5, and 15-13.
Cat Spring then took on New
Ulm for the final games. The
scores of 15-5, 4-15, and 15-1
cannot show the quality of
volley ball displayed by the
finalists. In fact every one the
five teams entered gave an ex-
cellent account of itself. Even
Frydek which was eiliminated by
New Ulm in the first round
came back to dispute fourth
place with Bellville ip three of
the hardest fought games of
the tournament. Bellville final-
ly won the dispute by scores of
14-16, 15-12. and 17-15.
.The quality of play exhibited
in this tournament assures one
of the best volley ball tourna-
ments that has ever been held
in Austin County at Wallis on
March 26. Several County teams
not in the Cat Spring tourna-
ment have demonstrated on
other occasions that they have
very good teams. Whoever wins
the County championship at
Wallis wiU know that they have
been in a Tournament spelled
with Capital letters. And those
that fail to place will find glory
in defeat.
