GRASSY POINT
By LORRAINE BASFORD
The day Ernie Tresselt went to
the Penninsula, he spent the night
at Green’s Bayou. The next morn-
ing he waded out to fish, and a five
foot shark went close by. Ernie
said he wasn’t scared at all, but,
he spent the rest of the day fishing
off shore.
After landing her first soft shell-
ed turtle, weighing 30 pounds,
Evelyn Pierce did not know what to
do with it, so she gave it to John
Bowden. A soft shelled turtle has
a variety of flavors in the light and
dark meat, and is tasty in soups,
fried or baked. Evelyn, also landed
10 trout, and 30 pan fish while
fishing at Richman’s pasture.
Jack Barnett says some folks
may not believe this, but last
Thursday he went up the Tres-Pa-
lacios River, beyond the bridge and
caught five kinds of fish from the
same spot. They were two reds,
one weighing 12 pounds, 27'/fc
inches long, other three pounds, a
sheephead, drum and two fresh wa-
ter or channel catfish. Mr. Barnett
recently finished a plywood boat
1916 ft. long, 7!4j ft. wide with 30
inch sides. It is still un-named, but
he initiated it a week ago. It is
just a good substantial fishing boat
and not for speed. He savs, his boy
can have the speed boats in the
family.
Cowhead Rays; Friday, while
shrimping, Jack Basford ran into a
school of rays getting them hung
in his net. Saturday, Ted Sawyer
had the same trouble. Sunday, sev-
eral fishermen claimed their bait
was taken, but with more force
than hard heads nibbling. It may
have been they were in a school of
these rays. O. T. Hanna came in
with a 20 pound ray.
Shrimpers and fishermen are
lucky not to be living in China
these days. In 1735, Emperor Chein
Lung decreed that fishermen who
use basket nets must catch each
fish twice. They must empty their
nets, then scoop up as many as
they can before the fish get away.
What wasted labor!
Wednesday, Bill Hurt fished at
Shell Pile getting nine nice trout.
Sunday, he and Sells Buffaloe tried
the Houston Club, and came in
with 68 trout.
Friday afternoon, Dick Wiggin-
ton and party, went to Green’s
Bayou to camp out over night.
They floundered Friday night get-
ting an ice box full of nice floun-
ders. Two weighing 4.6 and five
pounds. Saturday they got 172
trout.
Forty two pounds of fish were
brought in Saturday by Leon and
Mrs. Aria. There were rat reds,
drum and one four pound red.
Sammy Tollison, Cart and Kelly
DeWitt camped at Carancahua
River Saturday night. They weighed
in an 18 pound yellow cat, and two
blue cats at two pounds each, when
they came into Grassy Point on
Sunday.
Short minded Shorts: Sue and
Jim Short, and “Egg” Light, went
to the Oil Wells Saturday, in their
boat “Little Gypsy”. They always
cook their breakfast on the boat.
When meal time came, Sue dis-
covered she had forgotten the skil-
let, and just had the coffee pot. A
delicious breakfast was enjoyed
made in this order in the coffee
pot. First coffee was made and put
aside in a bowl, boiled bacon, saus-
age, soft eggs, and canned potatoes
heated, each being cooked separate-
ly and put aside. On the strength
of this meal, they got busy and
caught 20 trout and three big gaff
top. Sunday, while getting break-
fast, Sue found herself without
plates. A cardboard box was cut,
and with napkins over each "plate”
the group ate a hearty meal. Fing-
ers were made before forks, so any
time the silverware is forgotten, it
will not be missed. They got 16
trout and three gaff top on Sun-
day.
G. H. and Carita Sanford, princi-
pal and teacher of Palacios School
for Colored, fished from Grassy
Point Pier Sunday getting 15 drum.
Manuel Dibbles, 14 years of age,
landed eight nice drum off of the
pier on Sunday.
Marjorie Kelly, Robert McCoy,
Bob Casby had good luck at Turtle
Bay this week. They landed seven
large trout, one rat red and a three
pound flounder. They had their
stringer of trout hanging in the
water when a flounder came by
and bit a trout’s tail. A line was
dropped in the water close to it and
the flounder grabbed the line.
Six nice trout were caught by
Mrs. Adolph Shimek of El Campo
when she was fishing near the Hog
Pen on Tres-Palacios River Sunday.
Mr. and Mrs. J. Mac Lerran, Mr.
and Mrs. P. Ulstad of San Marcos,
have been camping at Grnsy Point
this week. They have been fishing
on many spots in the bay. The
Ulstads’ had unusual luck one day
when they got in a school of pom-
pano, and one jumped into the boat.

maining on the 1953 schedule, the
local gin has processed 2934 bales
of cotton, according to Ike Ramsey,
head of the co-op.

quested to report to the Methodist
Church annex anytime between 10
a.m. and 4 p.m.

SET AND FORGET — A water
sprinkler used to wet down the
local gridiron is an amazing little
gadget. Runs along a cable with the
help of water pressure and will
cover the 100 yard distance in

FOLLOW SHARKS — The local
boys open their District 27-A
schedule against the Goliad Tigers
Friday night at 8 p.m. If you have
not seen the Sharks in action this
year, go out and help them win
their opener. The West Columbia

cal citizens because it was a road
game. Let’s make up for the
absence by attending tomorrow
night.

A PROBLEM—Last years' trick or
treat players at Hallowe’en treat-
ed resident property “real mean"
when they found nobody at home
to fill their requests. One local
resident on Welch avenue had some
trees destroyed while others over
town reported minor damage. This
year the P.-T. A. is sponsoring a
carnival and many people will want
to attend but will not in fear of
finding property damaged when
they return home. It’s up to the
older trick or treat players if the
P.-T. A. carnival is a success or
not. This year when nobody an-
swers the front door, move on to
the next house.
Mr. and Mrs. James W. Davis of
San Antonio, parents of Vernon L.
Davis, are spending a few days in
Palacios with their son and his
family.

Joyous Reunion As Prodigal Son Returns After 28 Year Absence
This story is true!
The names of the characters
have not been changed because
there was happiness in the home of
Mrs. George Johnson at Seabrook
Sunday.
The occasion—the re-uniting of
the Lange clan of which one lost
brother, Hellmuth Lange, was to-
gether with his family again for
the first time in 28 years.
Lange now the owner of the
Lange Service Company in Mes-
quite, is a brother of Mrs. Henriet-
ta Hoffman of Palacios.
It all started in the year 1926.
Lange rode into Houston with his
sister and her intended husband,
George Johnson. He borrowed a
car belonging to a brother, H. W.
Lange now 48 years old and a resi-
dent of Houston. During the after-
noon he parked the auto in front
of a Houston creamery where his
brother worked, and walked away.
He related to his family Sunday
how he covered nearly all the 48
states, worked in Amarillo and then
moved to Decatur as a plumber and
maintenance man. On July 5, 1928
he met a young lady just out of
Decatur Baptist College. Today,
this young lady is his wife, the
former Ruth Arrington. “We moved
to Mesquite in 1935 where I
opened my own plumbing shop in
1939," he stated.
Mrs. Lange, married to Hellmuth
for 25 years and the mother of two
married daughters, thought he had
no family. “I never could get him
to talk about his. family and I just
assumed he was an orphan,” she
said happily.
Actually, Lange lived within 12
miles of a brother, A. H. Lange for
many years without being aware
of it. The brother and his family
lived in the small town of Riley,
near Lange’s home.
After departing from his family
in 1926, Lange dropped the ‘e’from
his name as he said he could never
be sure that reclaiming his past
would not upset his new life and
that his old and new worlds would
blend harmoniously together.
Members of the Lange family
had believed him dend. They had
asked Probate Judge Clem Mc-
Clelland of Houston to declare him
legally dead so an estate could be
settled. He was named along with
his brothers and sisters to share
in the estate of his parents, Mr.
and Mrs. A. W. Lange of Fair-
banks. The elderly couple died in
1935 without again seeing their
missing son.
Lange, who is now 51, saw two
brothers and four of his five sisters
for the first time Sunday since he
was 23. A nation-wide search in
January 1926 failed to locate him.
Hellmuth decided to return last
week after reading a news story in
a Houston paper which said his
family, after years of fruitless
searching, had asked he bp declared
legally dead in order to’clear title
to the $90,000 estate in which he
held an un-claimed interest.
Hellmuth, who is known as How-
ard in Mesquite, indicated he could
have located the many members
of his family at any time but that
"once you get away, you kinda
forget and let it slide.”
Just 18 months ago, the son of
brother Arthur Lange, who now
resides in Seagoville. had died.
Lange made one of the hardest
decisions of his long absence.by go-
ing to the funeral home. “I was at
the back of the chapel when the
folks came in,” he said. “There
were some curtains over the hall-
way and I parted them just enough
to look through.”
In addition to Arthur and H. E.
aLnge of Houston, four sisters
were at the reunion which was
planned a month ago in observance
of his sister’s birthday, Mrs.
George Johnson. Other sisters are:
Mrs. R. H, Tanner, 53, who now
lives on the old Lange homestead
Mrs. Mary Behne, 54, who lives
near Houston and Mrs. Hoffman of
Palacios. One sister, Mrs. Johanna
Hargrove, 61, the only sister not
present, lives in Houston.
Lange’s two daughters, Mrs.
Neal Loath and Mrs. W. H. Berry,
were not present at the reunion.
They both live near Mesquite.
Another reunion is planned by
the joyous Lange clan for next
year.
