Resolation Of Deceatsd
County Snperintendont
Read And Adopted 1925
Jim Chadwick, former Cameron
man who died at his home in Del Rio
Monday April 1, 1951 was elected
County School Superintendent of Mi-
lam County Schools in 1915 and ser-
ved without opposition until January
1925.
The following resolutions were
read and adopted in February 1925:
WHEREAS Mr. James F. Chadwick
is retiring from the County Superin-
tendent’s Office after ten consecu-
tive years of service to the schools of
Milam County, and whereas the un-
selfish service of the said James F.
Chadwick has been of untold benefit
to the citizenship of this county,
therefore be it resolved
1. That the County Ooard of Educa-
tion of Milam County as the repre-
sentative of the citizens of Milam
County assure Mr. Chadwick of their
sincere appreciation of his work in
improving educational conditions in
the County.
2. That the attention of the general
public be directed to the following
achievements of Mr. Chadwick’s ad-
ministration:
New School House Erected
In the ten years of Mr. Chadwick’s
administration, 30 new frame build-
ings and two brick buildings for
white schools have been built; eight
frame additions to buildings have
been made; four frame buildings for
Negroes have been erected and funds
made available for the erection of
two new buildings.
Taxes For Support
When Mr. Chadwick took over the
duties of County Superintendent in
1914, twenty one school districts had
no local tax. Of this number, only
five remain without local tax. Only
one District had as much as fifty
cents local tax in 1914, while in
1924 46 districts had tax rates of fifty
cents and more. Twenty one of this
number having a rate of 75 cents.
During the ten year period, forty
seven districts increased their tax
rate, while eleven made no increase.
Consolidations Affected
During the ten year period, nine
consolidations were effected as fol-
lows: San Gabriel, Conoley, Salty,
New Salem, Hoyte, Branchville, Jon-
es Prairie, Sharp and Fairview.
Other Achievements
Aside from the tangible evidence
of progress made under Mr. Chad-
wick’s guidance and more important
and far reaching than were material
improvements, is the wholesome sen-
timent in favor of the public schools
brought about by his influence, which
we trust, shall continue to grow until
the rural schools of Milam County
shall be second to none.
3. That it is the conviction of the
members of this board that Mr. Chad-
wick’s investment of life in the ser-
vice of the youth of this county is
paying and will continue to pay large
dividends not to him only but to the
State and Nation which he has chosen
to serve.
4. And be it further resolved that
these resolutions be spread upon the
minutes of the Board, that the Sec-
retary furnish a copy of these reso-
lutions to the said James F. Chad-
wick and to each of the newspapers
of Milam County.
Respectively submitted,

Waco Man Charged
With Robbery
Lawrence E. Holte, 26, of Waco is
being held in the Milam County jail,
charged with armed robbery accor-
ding to Sheriff Carl C. Black.
Mr. Holte purchased a pint of whis-
key from Claude Lewis, manager of
the Anderson Package Store near the
underpass on Highway 36 in Milam
County near the Bell County line,
around 10 P. M. Wednesday April
18. He handed Mr. Lewis a $5 bill
and when Mr. Lewis opened the cash
register, Holte drew a gun, a .45
automatic made in Japan, and deman-
ded Lewis to sack up the money.
Mr. Lewis placed $339 in a bag
and handed it to Mr. Holte. He de-
manded that Lewis and another help-
er at the store to walk out of the
store ahead of him. After stepping
outside, Holte got into his car and
headed toward Cameron.
After a few miles down the high-
way, Holte decided to turn back and
go to Temple and stopped at the un-
derpass to change clothes
In the meantime Mr. Lewis hailed a
truck to Rogers where he contacted
City Marshall Tucker and they im-
mediately called Sheriff Black. While
they were placing their call to Sher-
iff Black, Mr. Lewis recognized Mr.
Holte’s car pass through Rogers in
the direction of Temple and Marshall
Tucker immediately put in a chase for
Holte and overtook him between Hei
denheimer and Temple where he sur-
rendered and was brought on to Ca-
meron and placed in jail.

Norik Fort Hoori Hat
laspoelioR Thursday
North Fort Hood stood its forst in-
spection by visiting dignitaries Thurs-
day as Major General Hobart Gay,
Deputy commander of Fourth Army,
visited the growing region.
Accompanied by Major General
Williston B. Palmer, second Armor-
ed Division and Post Commander, and
Brigadier General Charles K. Gailey,
General Gay drove up to North Hood
early Thursday morning.
There they were greeted by Lieu-
tenant Colonel R. W. Adams, acting
commander of Combat Command “A”
of the First Armored Division. That
command is first to occupy the area
as a permanent unit of the Army
since 1945.
Plans were discussed for the devel-
opment of North Hood then Colonel
Adams acted as guide for visits to
mess halls, tented barracks, head-
quarters and other installations. A
motor tour throughout the area dem-
onstrated the great amount of re-
construction that has been done there
since it was re-opened several weeks
ago.
Cadremen for the units stationed
there could be seen preparing the re-
gion for their troops who are due to
arrive soon.
On the return trip to South Fort
Hood various units of the Second Ar-
mored Division that were training in
the field demonstrated their effective-
ness for the inspecting Generals.
Mr. and Mrs. W H. Black of Port
Lavaca were visitors in Cameron over
the past week and where they visited
relatives and friends. The Blacks are
former residents of Cameron and were
in business in Rosebud for a number
of years. They have many friends who
arc always glad to welcome them on
their return visits. While here they
renewed their subscription to the
Cameron Herald.
Welcome Rain Falls T*“*PaanB,s Given
Mr. and Mrs. R. O. Bright and chil-
dren of Fort Worth visited Mr. and
Mrs. Marvin Bright over the week-
end.
With Freak Twister
A freak twister dipped and swerv-
ed through the new Carver Addition
in East Waco about 9 P. M. Friday,
damaging 12 houses and injuring at
least one person, as roofs and walls
were ripped from the homes.
More than an inch of rain, a life-
saver to acres of corn, oats, and small
grain in the Waco area, accompanied
the house-wrecking storm Friday
night. Thundershowers fell in scat-
tered areas of Central Texas, easing
the drought that has been compared
to the 1925 drought—one of the
worst on record.
Heavy rain was reported at Mart
and McGregor, and in the immediate
territory.
Most of the occupants of the dam-
aged houses were caught in bed when
the twister struck without warning.
Walls toppled crazily over furniture
and beds, and roofs were neatly lif-
ted from the dwellings and spread
for yards around.
An estimate of damage ranged
from $60,000 to $70,000. The homes
some prefabricated at an estimated
cost of $5,000 each.
Roads to the area were almost im-
passable as an inch of rain had re-
cently fallen. The homeless families
stood out in the ankle deep mud, some
stunned and others trying to salvage
clothing and household fixtures before
more rain could damage them.
West Texas was buffeted by high
winds, sandstorms, twisters and soak-
ing rains Friday afternoon and even-
ing as turbulent skies pushed thund-
ershowers eastward.
The welcome rain brought hope to
wheat farmers and to gardeners, and
paved the way for spring planting
of row crops.
A small twister wrecked a three-
room house south of Wichita Falls
and damaged a trailer house during
the afternoon when it hit near the
Wichita County Farm. Electric ser-
vice in downtown Wichita Falls was
off for 12 minutes.

WASHINGTON, April 18, Toxas’
peanut allotment has been raised from
376,732 to 396,369 acres. The Agri-
cultural Department made this change
Tuesday in increasing the nation’s
planting permits about 6.6 per cent.
The changes were made to allow
greater production of food types like-
ly to be in tight supply and to pro-
vide for a "fairer” division of allot-
ments among states.
Peanuts will be grown under rigid
production and marketing quotas de-
signed to prevent over-production.
Tuesday's action was taken under
authority of a recent congressional
revision in laws affecting peanuts.
All states got larger allotments ex-
cept Arizona, California and Okla-
homa.
The department said county offi-
ces of the department’s Production
and Marketing Administration will
mail notices to individual farmers of
allotment increases within a few days.
The revised state allotments and

fTlAKE THE WORD of Owners who
J_ know Dodge value and depend-
ability from actual experience. “No
major repairs in four years’ driving
. . . “After driving another make less
than a year, I’m back with Dodge
again" .. . "Driven my Dodge 150,000
miles and it’s still going strong.” These
are not unusual comments we receive
from Dodge owners coast-to-coast.
Dodge dependability starts with a
heavy, rugged frame, a “Get-Away”
engine “speed-proofed” to resist wear,
designed to i>e a miser on gas. There’s
a safe, rigid, all-steel body, mbber-
mounted to eliminate rattle, squeak.
Naw Safer, Smoother Ride
Dodge Oriflow Shock Absorbers "float”
you over roads that stop other cars,
cushion vital chassis parts against road
shocks ... make them last years longer.
And with this traditional Dodge qual-
ity of dependability goes extra head-
room, leg room, elbow room found
in no other car . . . “Watchtowcr”
visibility in every direction. Longer
lasting, smooth acting Safe-Guard
Hydraulic Brakes make every mile
you travel safer, more relaxed.
Come in Today
Take 5 minutes to check Dodge de-
pendability in long life, in extra com-
fort and safety, low-cost maintenance
and gas economy. It will be the most
profitable 5 minutes you ever spent.
