Fifteen million Americans

WHO WORKS HARDER?
WASHINGTON - Wom-
en not only work harder than
businessmen, they also work
longer, according to the
American Cooncil of Life In
surance
The council — citing a study
made by the University of
Michigan — says men also
spend more tune "goofing off "
It says Professor Greg Dun-
can, senior study director of
the university's survey re-
search center, offered the fol-
lowing explanations:
— Women end up in jobs
where they are more likely to
be supervised than men, and in
that position would tend to stay
busier
Unlike men, a large pro-
portion of women don't hold
paying jobs But those womi-n
who do "may be more moti-
vated."
WIDOWS PLENTIFUL
WASHINGTON - A re-
cent survey shows there are
more than 10 million widows in
the United States, and they out-
number widowers 5 to 1.
The American Council of Ufe
Insurance says women not only
outlive men in this country by
an average of about eight
years, they also tend to marry
men who are at least several
years their seniors.

The Garmon marquee, sparkling highlight of
Main Street in Rio Grande City, shows that a great
family movie will soon be showing there, "The
Apple Dumpling Gang Rides Again." My kids and
I saw it while visiting in my old hometown, and it
was a memorable experience indeed. The show
itself is more ridiculous than realistic, but that
day we encountered the most realistic scene
perhaps ever seen in a movie. Every moviemaker
strives for realism, remember 3-D? But this
realistic touch was never dreamed of by the movie
producer. As me and my gang watched the Apple
Dumpling Gang and their antics started a fire in a
fort housed by the cavalry of bygone days. As all
hands sought to put out the fire before the powder
kegs exploded, which did happen anyway, of
course, the smell of smoke began to fill the movie
theatre. Thinking it was caused by the power of
suggestion, comments were heard, such as "I can
almost smell smoke. Boy, that's realistic."
"Yeah, they'll go to any lengths nowadays for
realism," came back a laughing retort.
Inquisitive enough to check it out, I left my seat
after showing my children where the exit signs
were, just in case. I discovered the lobby full of
smoke and fire extinguishers going full force,
being used to squelch a fire started by a short in
the popcorn warming machine. All was taken care
of in short order, but the memory of the fire scene
i the best scene in the movie, for those of us seeing
it that day, I might add I lingered with the faint
smell of smoke in the theatre. So much for realism
in the movies-take me back to 3-D goggles
an v time. —
Mr. and Mrs. William M. Taylor of Los Gatos,
California, were the guests of her sister, Olivia
Garcia, in Rio Grande City and in Roma of her son
David F. Barrera and family and her sister, Mrs.
Felix R. Garza and family. During their stay in
Texas, they also went to San Antonio to visit her
brother, Jose Angel Garcia, Jr. and family. While
there they visited with her nephews Javier A.
Garza and family, Luis C. Garza and family, and
Flavio H. Garza and family. In Mission, they
enjoyed a visit with her niece, Mrs. Arnoldo Cantu
and family.
Aminta A. Reyna, president, and Olivia J.
Garcia, secretary, members of local Magnolia
Grove 6167 Woodmen of the World were in San
Antonio to attend the first State Workshop meeting
for officers which was held at the Ramada Inn on
July 28. They reported that it was a great op-
portunity to receive the information and
knowledge given to those attending the meeting in
a wonderful fraternal gathering.
"In the middle •of fun!" That surely does
describe Astroworld. Us Petersons joined in the
fun at Astroworld in Houston last week. Lots of
others from Starr County apparently decided that
was the place to be, too, as we saw lots of folks
from home there. The Ringling Brothers and
Barnum and Bailey Circus, "the Greatest Show on
Earth", was another highlight of the trip, as was
the Astro-Dodger game which Houston pulled out
in the last inning. Saw more friends from Rio at
the "Astrodone", as my youngest puts it. From
there, we motored to the hill country to cool off in
the Frio River for a few days before ending our
vacation with a stop at Mathis I^ake. Here we
visited with my mother and brother and his family
and celebrated our wedding anniversary skiing
and tubing on the lake.
