“J was born on a small farm
three miles northwest of Cameron

various periods of employment. I

ston, San Antonio. In these jobs

Southwest Life
Reports 57 Gain,
J. M. Wiggs Says
Further progress in Southwest-
ern Life insurance and investment
services in the Southwest during
1957 was reported by James M.
Wiggs, representative for South-
western Life Insurance Co.. Came-
ron.
The company’s agency force es-
tablished a new record in produc-
tion for the ninth consecutive year,
it reported in its 55th annual fi- j
nanial statement.
According to President J. Ralph
.Vood, Dallas, the company issued
5265,256,001 of paid-for new busi-
ness and the record calendar year j
tain in force_.y)creased total,.own-,
'rship of Southwestern Life In-
surance to $1,615,486,922.
Southwestern Life policyowners i
and beneficiaries received a record
525.215 156 in benefits during 1957.
On December 31. 1957, assets am-
ounted to $418,163,384, the financial
statement shows.
Surplus funds, including capital,
surplus and contingency funds, to-
taled $48,530,216, or about 13.8 per-
cent of total liabilities.
Investments during the year by
Southwestern Life averaged over
54,800.000 per ,nonth, Wiggs said.
Outstanding investment in individ-
ual, corporate and public loans
totaled more than 200 million dol-
lars, 48 percent of Southwest Life's
assets.
Wiggs has been representing
Southwest Life in Cameron since
he first of the year
hind locked doors in Jerusalem or
went despondently, hopelessly, to
their homes as did those return-
ing to Emmaus. They were defeat-
ed. The most they could say was.
“we trusted that it had been he
which should have redeemed Is-
rael " Hope was now dead. Faith
was buried as deep as the grave
of Christ. They were victims of
unbelief. Thomas said "Except I
shall see in his hands the prints
of the nails, and put my hands
into the prints of the nails, and
' thrust my hand into his side, I
will not believe." The announce-
ment of those who were first to
see Christ brought this record to
light, “their words seemed to them
i as idle tales, and they believed
them not.’ They were not disposed
to believe. Testimony was not re-
| ceived uncritically.
Resurrection was against their
i experience and stateo expectancy.
It took valid and overwhelming
evidence to convince them that
Christ was risen. Like Thomas
they at last cried, "my Lord and
my God”.
The resurrection is the thing that
transformed the disciples and ch-
urch from broken, defeated, dis-
couraged. and weak men into spir-
itual and moral giants. They be-
came new men after this. Certi-
tude took possession of these wav-
ering folk. Assurance became the
characterizing feature to identify
them. They were infused with the
conviction that this was central
in their faith. Their whole outlook
on life was determined by this
factor. Faith was grounded in the
person of Christ and in particular
in his resurrection.
Easter and each Lord's Day is
a monument to his resurrection.
His disciples gather now as then
on the Lord's Day to worship him
Richard Williams, treasurer of
the Milam County Crippled Child-
ren's Society Easter Seal drive,
announced today that $496 of the
$1,000 goal has been received to
date in the county drive.
Williams added that the drive
would continue through April.
Society workers mailed 3,000
letters to Milam County residents
March 11 containing Easter Seals, j
Those receiving letters were asked
to mail checks for $1 or as much
as they could spare and to keep
and use the stamps.
"This is the only national or- j
ganization which aids all types of
crippling caused by disease or ac-
cident" stated Mrs. Bill Bums,
county board president. She also
reminds countians that funds are
used to rehabilitate crippled adults.

Everyone who fishes for bass
hopes some day to land a grand-
pappy Not that they are any bet-
ter rating ... it is just the pride
in catching one bigger than you've
ever taken before.
Well, if you've tried everything
else, here is a suggestion that may
be worth something It has paid
oft. Whether it does for you may
depend on luck as well as ability.
Some call it jigging Actually it
is just plain horsin' You might
call it bottom fishing with a heavy
rig. But it does, occasionally, pay
off with a big bass
Naturally jpu must have good
bass water. Always in bassy water
there is an area that looks good,
but is unworkable with light lines.
You can do it. however, with a
heavy rig.
The best spot is at the base of
big tree trunks that stick out of
the water, or where there is con-
siderable brush under the water.
Rig up your light salt water tackle. I
or use a good stiff action rod with i Texoma with wonderful results.
attack. You may apend a half-hour i part of the country but occasion-
there, but don t take the lure out {ally we do have some real chilly
Finally the old bruiser can't aland
it any longer and he rushes it.
Set your hook and atari up all
with the same motion. Don't give
him a chance to wrap the line i
around a limb or crawl under a
fence More depends upon your
retrieve than most anything else.
That's the reason you need a good
heavy line, one with which you
can hoist him out
When you are fishing for Ui
big ones it is man against fish.
If you land the fish you are the
best. After you get him on the
stringer find a new location and
start all over again
Will it work? Try it yourself
There is another way you can
use the same rig except for the
lure. This time use a deep run-
ning, large plug. You might even
want a trailing jig. Troll it fast
through good bass water, and
deep. That's why you'll need the
heavy equipment, so you can pull
It deep.
This is being done every day on
weather. Fishermen on Lake Tea-
oma have found a way to help
overcome some of the vchtll. They
are using charcoal heaters In their
boats
Others use gasoline stoves for
the same results.
While we believe in comfort, we
hesitate to recommend a stove for
u mu.in boat. It's taking a lot of
chance, especially in a boat where
there is a gasoline tank or extra
can of fuel.
a heavy reel loaded with from 20
to 30 pound test line.
The bait doesn’t make too much
difference, if it is something that
will attract the bass. Right now
some of the fishermen are using
those black plastic worms or black
eels. They have a good heavy sin-
ker on the terminal that will take
the bait to the bottom. After it has
had a chance to settle down, work
it only slightly and not too often.
Just an occasional movement up
and down. The chances are a big northeast of Madisonville.
You may not do it the first time,
but the idea is worth a little, prac-
tice.
Again, will it work? Again, try
it.
Gar F Mi tag
It won't be too long until gar
fishing will be coming along again.
Over near Madisonville they are
catching some of these big .tackle
busters already. Recently two were
taken in Blue Lake on the cast
side of the Trinity, about 25 miles
