City Administrator Henry
Brenek and other members
of the official "city family"
will meet again Wednesday
night, Oct. 10,for their Octo-
ber session --but meetings
are nothing new to them these

If there is not a special i municipal bond issue,
meeting to discuss the 1962-
63 budget, there may be one
to talk about the proposed
bond issue.
While none of the city
officials knew of anything
on the agenda for October’s
regular meeting, they were
of the opinion that theire
would be something, or few
of rhe meetings pass with-
out problems to consider.
This session will be held

The Alvin Sun is author-

action of the General Elec-
tion, Tuesday, Nov. 6, 1962.
Of all ths over-3,000 stu-
dents in tpe Alvin schools,
Diana aifd Laura Davies
have probably traveled far-
ther during the past few
months.
Last ypar, they were
taught at home--and home
was at the foot of the Andes
Mountains, in Lauhan, near
Mendosa, Argentina.
Their parents are Mr. and
Mrs. John Davies, presently
of 1301 South Hood. Mrs.
Davies is Scottish, their fa-
ther is Welsh, and an em-
ployee of tpe N. W. Kellogg
Company of New York, which
deals with cil refineries. The
family moved to Alvin the
first of September, and ex-
pects to be here from three
to six months.

or perhaps Australia.
The three Davies daught-

time to live in the United |
States, although they speia
a few days at a time in
New York. The first im- i
press ion of Texas was one 1

Mrs. Davies.
The Davieses lived in Can- |
ada for 10 years, in Que-
bec, Ontario, and New Bruns -
wick. The girls love the
traveling life they are now
leading, their mother said,
and added that she felt the
experiences of living in sev-
eral lands to be invaluable.
They carry with them only
their clothes, in a huge

AlvIajL,
By France Duke, President
riilf Coast Board of Realtors.
We we rd talking the other
day. Holmes Byer and I, about
rhe- MnnuTrnl«»c r\f cn-
idl and business conduct
which morp or less govern
our lives. I mentioned that
such rules ?xist even in the re -
latively informal activity of
house-hunting.
Mr. Byer drew the parallel
between rales that control
sports contests and those that
are evident in business rela-
tionships. He mentioned golf
and tennis specifically as two
participan’: sports in which a
ode of etiquette is closely
defined and: observed.
The conversation eventually
got around to the business of
real estate, since Mr. Byer,
' sides being a friend, is in-
• rested in buying a house and
I am a realtor-a member of
the local real estate board and
the National Association of
. eal Estate Boards.
1 mentioned that like in
sporting activities, there are
traded than you by such com-
ments as, "I wannagohome,”
and "Where’s my lollipop?"
If you like the house and a-
gree to purchase it, read all
agreements before you sign engineering survey
them and make sure that all r4“ -----**-*•
points are in writing. Many by Jack Raines, engineer for
unpleasant wrangles can bea-
voided later if verbal pro-
mises or informal under-
standings are spelled out in
writing, I explained to him.
So often, it’s the little things
that stir up hard feelings and
lead to disappointments. For
example, you may think that a
decorative pair of old wagon
wheels out in rhe backyard for
sale with the house only to
find out later that the owner is
planning to take them with
him when he moves.
Let the realtor do the ne-
gotiating, I counseled. He is
experienced in this type of
transaction and knows the de-
sires of both parties. It is to
his interest to work out a
mutually satisfactory agree-
ment.
The art of house hunting is
not difficult. By following the
simple rules, based mostly on
common sense and courtesy,
you can make the purchase of . ni
your home one of the most
satisfying experiences of your
life, I told him.

date where consideration
will be gi-en to all objec-
tions and suggestions.
Are Americans going tobe-
come a nation of lunatics, en-
gaged in a mad and utterly
ridiculous race to put a man
on the moon before the Rus -
sians do? If we squander $40
Billion to land on the moon a-
head of the Communists, just
what will we achieve for hu-
manity?
There is no evidence what-
ever that the moon is worth
even $40, to say nothing of $40
Billion, and even If it were
gold -plated and studded with
diamonds, there is no assu-
rance that we could hitch it
onto a space ship and tow it
back to earth.
Even if we got there ahead
of the Russians, it would be
only the beginning of our trou-
bles, for Jimmy Hoffa and his
teamsters union, and perhaps
Harry Bridges and his long-
shoremen, would show up with
demands for a union sftop, and
a 35-hour week with time and a
half for overtime in any lunar
transportation deal!
This moon business is just
plain crazy. Even while a few
frantic politicians are cla-
moring for appropriations to
pursue the exploration of

streets* edges for angle
parking.
No definite a tion was tak-
en on this suggestion. Some
court members indicated,
however, that they feel the
expense would not be justi-
fied at this time, since there
are tentative plans for a
courthouse addition and the
turning of the area where
the Old Court .ouse is now
located into a parking lot.
Commissioners estimat-
ed, however, hat tills will
probably be "a least a year"
even if no obstacles in the
way of approval of plans,
voting bonds, and actual con-
struction of an addition and
razing of the Old Courthouse
ard Old Jail, cause delays.

A Tuesday night fire de-
stroyed the tenant house on
the J. H. Blackwell ranch
and burned everything be-
longing to Corine King, ex-
cept the clothing she and her
four year-old son were
wearing.
She asks for help from
anyon: having clothing (she
wears asizel6dress),furni-
ture or household goods to
donate.
She is staying at present
with a friend who is a maid
at the W. K. Wellborn re-
sidence at 1905 South Mus-
tang.
Mrs. King said the fire
erupted when she lighted a
two-burner hot plate fed
from a 25-gallon Butane tank
and she believed there must
have been a leak in the line.
Three other fires were
also reported this week —

certain balsic rules that the
prospective home buyer
should observe. By following
e e, I told Mr. Byer, the
task of house hunting can be
pleasant anil rewarding for all
concerned.!
The prospective home buyer
ould, first of all, I told him,
Keep in mind that a man’s —

when lie’s trying to sell it.
There are times when it's
convenient for him to show it,
and there are other times when

Through.
For this reason, the real-
:or who is assisting in the
search for a home will try to
nake an appointment in ad-
vance to sh^>w the home.
Once an appointment has
been made, I cautioned, the
prospect should be punctual
Ln keeping it. It can be em-
barrassing for the realtor to
have to make up weak ex-
cuses. But, even more unpor-
tant, tardiness can be annoy-
Jig to the owner, as well as
an inconvenience, which u-
sually doesn't do your cause
any good.
Having arrived at the ap-
pointed place, don’t refuse to
inspect the interior of a house
just because the outside
doesn’t measure up exactly to
some preconceived idea of
your drearr home, I warned
Mr. Byer, it isn’t fair to the
owner, and many a house-
taiMer had discovered that
"you can’t always judge a book
by its cover." Many of the
"extras" which may make the
home the iiest buy for you

that no transportation is

A Question ^eg
While admitting our con-
fusion, we wonder how long
can a government survive
that requires one out of every
six of tbenation’s workers to
run it, and has spent so much
more over the years than it
has taken in that it owes
