mit their crimes. We have 17
square miles of city to patrol

during the day. This Houston
overflow has really worked a
hardship on our department,
but through teamwork we were
successful. 1 am extremely
proud of not only Officer Bry-

by the entire department,"

The annual PTA Halloween
Carnival is set for October
26 and various members of the
PTA and Carnival committees
would like to remind residents
of the up-coming event.
Kids never forget a carnival.
They are on the lookout for a
pony, a monkey, goat, lamb,
chickens, rabbits, calves,
birds, and pigs, to mention a
few. Is there going to be a
pony? Or a monkey? The PTA
ladies say,"We’retryingkids,
trying hard not to disappoint
you.”
Some of the merchants have
seen to it that you have some
of these animals already, but
the ladies haven't been able to
make all the rounds yet. How-
ever, they feel sure someone
will see to it that a pony will
be there the night of the Car-
nival.
In fact, if there's a mer-
chant with a pony in his back-
yard for the PTA Carnival to
use, he is asked to call 485-
1753, and let the PTA know
about it.

"We are not complete stran-
gers to the Manvel-Alvin a-
rea,” Rev. Weston said, "We
preached a revival here about
three years ago at the Heights
Baptist Church of Alvin. Rev.
Bobby Slaydon is a close per-
sonal friend. I like Manvel
very well, and enjoyed getting
to know all the people here.
Members of the church gave
us a "pounding party” Sunday
night, and we do appreciate
their thoughtfulness."
On Sept. 30, Rev. Weston
said the First Baptist Church
■will present the Messengers
in a Gospel concert at the
church. The public is cordially
invited to attend, and the con-
cert begins at 7:30 p.m.
The Messengers are an a-
rea quartet composed of Frank
and Judy Scott of Alvin and
Jean and Norma Skucius of
Clute.

Dixon, C. Williams, and J, E.

partments involved.
Speaking about the coopera-
tion from the other depart-
ments involved in breaking up
the burglary ring. Officer Bry-
ant said, "The cooperation I
received from the other de-
partments was great. I was
treated like a member of their
own department, and given ev-
ery consideration in my in-
vestigations. I appreciate all
the great work. Ibis could not
have been done without their
help and cooperation.”
He continued, "The men
he re in Pea rland had to double -
over on their shifts to make
up for my being gone on this
investigation. It was a matter
of great teamwork, here in our
own department, for the mem-
bers of the de pa rtment by
working together, to enable me
to spend so many hours on this
case.”
Chief Norris said of Bry-
ant's work in this case, "By
having Joe Bryant working as
a full-time criminal investiga-
tor, who was able to follow
through in this case, has pro-
ven to be a great success in
this investigation. We have had
several arrests resulting from
the investigation so far, and
we will have several more to
come."
"Joe Bryant did an out-
standing job, with many long
hours, and many days and
nights of working around the
clock. We have an overflow

Pearland State Bank," Jack
said, "when I came here in Au-
gust 1964, the assets of the
bank were $2.7 million dol-
lars. Now, in 1970, the assets

and is growing, and how the
people of Pearland have their
faith and trust in this bank,
and what a fine group is here
at the bank."
Berry Miller, president of
the Pearland State Bank said,
"We wish Jack nothing but the
best. We realize he is a good
man, and he has been very
loyal. We feel his going will
be a great loss, but our loss
certainly will be Baytown's
gain. We sincerely wish him
well ”
Dr. Lloyd Ferguson, Chair-
man of the Board of the Pear-
land State Bank, stated. "It
was with regret, but with ex-
pressions of best wishes for

announce he will continue his
association with our bank on
