Modern developments in the

of cars and cement mixing de-

It is almost impossible to fi-
gure exactly what the loss would
amount to, but it is figured at
not less than $500 million and
probably nearer the $1 billion
mark. If the auto plants are
forced to close the loss can be
a staggering amount. Why

The $600,000 Lions Club for
Crippled Children at Kerrville
nas now served a total of 4,284
youngsters. Director Dr. W. M
Jones of Edna informed the
Yoakum audience here this
week.
Introduced by Deputy Dist-
rict Governor A. J. Rohan of
Yoakum, Dr. Jones gave a re-
port aimed at boosting the pro-
ject and at the same time call-
ing attention to the fact that
thousands of crippled youngsters
every summer are given the
thrill of a lifetime as they learn
to swim, camp outdoors and de-
velop various trades and handi-
caps while enjoying the free
treat for two weeks at the camp
which is financed mainly by
Lions Club charity and part-
ly by the state and other do-
nors.
The camp now has 16 perma-
nent buildings and was recently
placed in operation the year
round, Dr. Jones reported.
Nine months of the year he
indicated are devoted to train-
ing blind people to earn a living
via weaving, basket-making and
similar work. About 720 child-
ren enjoy the camp facilities e-
very summer now and are given
the added thrill of feeding wild
deer and wild turkey within the
500-acre enclosure he said. His
report traced steady growth and
expansion of camp facilities.
It started off in 1953 by ac-
comodating 236 crippled, blind,
deaf and mute youngsters per
summer, then grew in size un-

FARM MUTUALS
CONVENE HERE
Representatives of all the
Texas farm mutual insurance
companies are expected to con-
vene here in Yoakum Nov. 9th
and 10th, according to Fritz
Barre, president of the Associ-
ation of Mutual Fire and Storm
ins. Companies of Texas and
also president of the Hochheim
Prairie Mutual with its head-
quarters in Yoakum.
Mr. Barre is serving his four-
th year as president of the
group which includes 31 of the
34 farm mutuals operating in
Texas. The convention opens at
9:30 a. m. at the Lutheran Par-
ish Hall and is open to all who
are interested. A number of
speakers will be on the agenda,
Mr. Barre informs.
Monday night a banquet will
be held at the Holy Cross Lu-
theran Church hall with tickets
going at $1.50 each. The meal
will be served through catering
service of Corner Cafe.
The schedule for the second
day of the convention calls for
an opening of business at 8 a.
m. Tuesday.
Noteworthy especially is
the attitude of those In atten-
dance in regards to commun-
ity betterment, to suggest and
promote ideas not only for the
betterment of local businesses,
but our entire rural and bun-
Ineos community. There is
hardly another group more in-
terested hi promoting agricul-
ture la spite of its many
shortcomings. Industry or

Entertainment of an inspira- ’
tional nature was the main item
on the program agenda for the
Yoakum Rotary Club Wednes-
day noon when Rev. D. I. Dol-
ton, introduced by Rotarian H.
A. Donnelly, program chairman,
was the speaker of the day.
Christian theology was the to-
pic for his address during which
comparisons of different beliefs
were presented and advantages
of such camparisons explained.
Stability rather than security
was described as the most im-
portant motive for modern liv-
ing, together with sincere and
well-considered principles of
faith on the part of each indi-
vidual. Said Rev. Dolton:
“It’s Important to know what
a man means when he says T
believe in God.’ Some mean they
believe a God exists; others
mean they TRUST in God. This
difference in meaning is most
Luling Grid Game
Tickets On Sale
Tickets for the Friday night
Nov. 6 football game at Luling
are on sale at Yoakum High
School at the superintendent’s
office, Supt. Harold Knape in-
dicated today as plans were com-
pleted for the final out-of-town
game of the 1959 season. It will
also be the final game of the
Bulldog’s District 27-AA sche-
dule away from home.
The Yoakum Bulldogs will
meet Luling at Luling Friday
8 p.m., then will get ready for
the season finale at Yoakum
next week. Tickets will be on
sale here at Yoakum High until
2:45 p.m. Friday.
Shiner will be here at Bull-
dog Stadium Friday night, Nov.
13th, in a grid game which is
expected to be a grand finale in
more ways than one.
Last game of the season, it
will apparently be the last foot-
ball game played at the old sta-
dium between West Gonzales
Street and the railroad proper-
ty.
Contractor Don Manning has
plans to start dismantling the
stadium, possibly the same
night and probably next day, in
order to move it to the new sta-
dium site near Yoakum High
School. It was reported that
most parts of the stadium, ex-
cepting the concrete founda-
tions, will be dismantled and us-
ed in construction of the new
stadium. The concrete founda-
tions will be cleared away by
about December 1st, according
to present plans. No word as to
the nature of the new industry
building promised for that loca-
tion had been received here this
week.
The Lions camp at Kerrville
now ranks tops among the
world’s foremost humanitarian
institutions and has brought in-
creased recognition to Lions In-
ternational according to Dr.

of International Counselor in
his organization during spare

TIGERSPLAY
SUN. 2:30 P. M.
The St. Joseph’s Tigers meet
the St. Mary’s Rams at Bulldog
Stadium here Sunday at 2:30
p.m. reviously tht game was
scheduled for Saturday, but has
been changed to a Sunday after-
noon.
In a game with Sacred Heart
of Hallettsville the Rams held
the first half in their favor with
8 points to none for the Indians.
However, the* final outcome fav-
ored Hallettsville 28, the Rams
8. The Tigers are seeking their
first district victory.
This will apparently be the
last Tiger home game since the
schedule calls for the next game
with St. Ed’s in Austin.
Sunday’s tilt promises to be
quite interesting and Coach Bill
Degen’s Tigers will be prepared
to battle the Rams at the 2:30
