to become a by-word in house-
holds throughout the nation and,
since the war began, one of the
chief links between our over-
seas fighters and home. Heard
on KTRH from 2:00-3:30 p.m. on
Sundays, the orchestra begins its
104th year with plans geared to
the varied tastes of a listening
audience scattered all over the
world.
Musical director is Artur Rod-
zinski, who offers a performance
of the immortal Beethoven Ninth
Symphony, among other works.
Walter, a guest conductor, re-
peats for the fourth consecutive
year, his uncut performances of
Bach's St. Matthew Passion. Igor
Stravinsky, another guest con-
ductor, will present the world
premiere of a new work which
he is writing for and dedicating
to the Philharmonic-Symphony.
Bellville Business Man
Dies at El Campo
Adolph Louwien, widely
known local insurance man and
a native of Bellville, died early
Friday morning in El Campo af-
ter an extended illness. He was
65 years of age.
Taken seriously ill two years
ago, Mr. Louwien underwent an
operation from which he recov-
ered remarkably well until about
two months ago, when his ail-
ment recurred.
Mr. Louwien had been in the
insurance business for the past
20 years, and as a special agent,
traveled over a large part of the
state where he made a vast num-
ber of contacts which resulted
in close friendships throughout
this section.
Services were held at St.
Mary’s Episcopal church on Sat-
urday afternoon, Dec. 15, at 2:30
the Rev. Wayne Buchaan offi-
ciating. Interment was at Oak
Knoll. Ante-burial services were
held at the Masonic lodge hall at
1:30 and continued at the ceme-
tery, the Rev. J. C. Newman act-
ing as master. Pallbearers were
E. P. Witte, master of the Bell-
ville lodge, and H. E. Miller, D.
L. Prouty, G. E. Bader, Beuford
Bracey and E. W. Koerth.—Bell-
ville Times.

Mr. H. S. Bolm manager of
the Wallis Lumber company was
a viistor at the News office last
Friday. Said he must hurry
home and play Santa Claus. Be-
lieve us we think H. S. is a real
Santa — he subscribed for the
News to be sent to him for an-
other year.
Norris Foiled In
Ecape Attempt
On Christmas Eve
COLUMBUS, Dec. 24.—Pete
Norris, who has more years to
serve in the penitentiary than
any man has ever lived, is in the
Caney Valley Hospital today as
the result of his break for free-
dom the afternoon of Christmas
Ev.e
Norris, who has been a model
prisoner since his incarceration
in the county jail as a Federal
prisoner in March, received a
telephone call from his Houston
attorney shortly after noon Mon-
day. Because of his exemplary
conduct during the time he has
been held here, Norris was
brought to the office of the
sheriff, and when diminutive
“Buckshot” Lane turned away
from Norris, the prisoner pulled
a gun, told the officers who were
on duty to “stick them up,” and
tried to use the sheriff as a
shield. The deputies failed to
comply with Norris’ command;
and Buck threw himself back-
ward with such force that Pete
was knocked off balance even as
his gun was discharged. The
sheriff was unarmed, but Depu-
ties R. M. Hines and Mike Flour-
noy were ready with their guns.
When the Sheriff freed him-
self, Hines fired a slug which
caught Norris in the chest;
Flournoy fired the second shot
which caught the man in the
shoulder.
■ Just where the gun came from
and how Norris got possession of
it is not known. Pete is in a
critical condition in the Caney
Volley Hospital. His cell mate,
John Box is allowed no visitors.
