in the plaza in front of First National Bank. The group calls itself "Jamonit" and has
many other evenings performing the same activity.

Brownsville
Businessman Honored
The District Director of U.S.
Small Business Administration,
Mr. Rodney M. Martin, announced
today that Edward P. Cantu,
President of Universal Canvas,
Inc., was selected as the minority
Small Businessperson of the year
for the lower Rio Grande Valley
District.
The award, in recognition of
outstanding achievement in the
American Free Enterprise System,
will be presented to Mr. Cantu
October 18, 1984, during the grand
opening of his Brownsville Plant.
Universal Canvas, Inc., through
the Small Business Administra-
tion's 8a Program, was awarded
approximately $10 million dollars
in Department of Defense contracts
for the manufacturing of canvas
products.
The Brownsville plant will
employ about 120 employees with
the potential of 300 within 18
months to work on additional
follow-on contracts currently under
consideration.
According to the Texas De-
partment of Water Resources,
(Economic Analysis Division) the
economic impact of the $10 million
dollars in the Texas economy is
estimated at $25,111,400.00 of which
a large portion will stay in the
Brownsville Valley Area.
Universal Canvas, Inc.,
(formerly Corpus Christi Awning
and Shade) was founded in 1925
and acquired by Edward Cantu in
1977 through a Small Business
Administration loan.
Mr. Cantu, is a college graduate
with a degree in Business Ad-
ministration with a major in
accounting. He was inspired to
purchase the business by his
mother who had worked for Corpus
Christi Awning 35 years and by his
wife who handled the accounts
receivable/payable for Corpus
Christi Awning.
From 1977, with sales of approx-
imately of $70,000.00 to $10 million,
Universal is becoming a major
supplier to department of Defense
for canvas products.
Martin said, "This minority
small business concern is truly an
outstanding example of the Ameri-
can Free Enterprise System and a
reflection of how the U.S. Small
Business Administration can work.

YOUR
WEEKLY
HOROSCOPE
THE STARS
& YOUR FUTURE
© dbp by Miss Anna Bliss
ARIES Mar. 21 to Apr. 20
This will be a happy time for activities
with friends. Marital situations may
not be as consistently pleasing as
differences may surface.
TAURUS Apr. 21 to May 20
An opportunity for extra work for
some needed cash could arise. This
could lead into some very rewarding
consequences.
GEMINI May 21 to June 20
Distant romances may prove more fav-
orable at this time, as will creative pro-
jects. Closer to home, quarreling can
upset the family balance this week.
CANCER June 21 to July 20
Care in travel will be helpful as will
agreeability at home. Finances may
take a turn for the better. Quieter
days will arrive late in the week.
f"
B
m
LEO July 21 to Aug. 21
Leo people seeking help through influ-
ential means are likely to be disappointed
with the results of their trouble. More
ener'gy toward caution will be better.
VIRGO Aug. 22 to Sept. 22
Short trips will show themselves as
beneficial this week. Relatives' ad-
vices should be taken seriously and
ideas thought out carefully.
LIBRA Sept. 23 to Oct. 22
Personal effort will have to suffice for
Libras this week as cooperation may
be all but non-existant. Creativity
should flourish.
SCORPIO Oct. 23 to Nov. 22
Although health problems (minor ones)
may interrupt activities this week, love'
ana support from loved ones will make
this a pleasant time.
SAGITTARIUS Nov. 23 to Dec. 20
Getting away from the fast pace of reg-
ular work may be the best medicine
for constant irritability. This could
be an excellent time for a vacation.
CAPRICORN Dec. 21 to Jan. 19
A good time to iron out financial dif-
ficulties. Staying up late to do so may
result in unneeded mistakes, however,
which may undermine the whole operation.
AQUARIUS Jan. 20 to Feb. 18
Influential parties may prove instrumen-
tal in your progress soon. Easy, pressure-
free days are in store later this week, a
good time to tie together loose ends.
PISCES Feb. 19 to Mar. 20
Continued caution concerning business
matters is recommended. Speculation
could turn out troublesome if not
looked into carefully.
