NEW REFUGIO EPISCOPAL CHURCH BUILDING
. . . ground breaking set for December 13
Refuugio.—The Ground Breaking
Service for the new Episcopal
Church of the Ascension will be
held on the new church site ad-
jacent to the existing church build-
ing, beginning at 9:45 a.m., Sun-
day morning, December 13, 1964,
with the priest-in-charge of the lo-
cal congregation, the Rev. Lee
Sampson Block, officiating. Others
assisting him in this impressive
service will be Sidney H. Miley,
Bishop’s Warden of the congrega-
tion, Glen R. Naylor, Building
Committee chairman, Jack Stew-
art, the contractor, and members
of the Bishop’s Committee and the
Building Committee.
Actual construction of the new
church edifice will be begun dur-
ing the following week by Jack
Stewart, General Contractor, of
Beeville. This will culminate more
than a year of careful planning
by local and diocesan;-officials to-
gether with the architectural and
engineering firm of Noonan and
Krocker and Mathis, Associates,
of San Antonio.
Other members of the Building
Committee are Mrs. Herb Cara-
way, James H. W. Jacks, Robert
Klare, Sidney H. Miley, Thomas
L. Pearson, and Donald M. Teer.
Members of the Bishop’s Commit-
tee, the governing body of the con-
gregation, along with Naylor, Mil-
ey, and Pearson are Jack Barn-
hart, Hubert Harkins, Vernon Nel-
son, and Glenn Peavy. Barnhart,
Harkins, and Nelson will be suc-
ceeded by Mrs. Estle King, Ben
Bums, and Ben Pennington on Jan-
uary 1, 1965.
The new church building is to
be of a brick cavity type of con-
struction with both inside and out-
side walls to be of brick, with a
ceiling and roof construction of
tongue-in-groove decking. The
sanctuary, chancel, and aisles will
be carpeted, with the area be-
neath the pews in the nave of the
church to be covered with vinyl
asbestos tile. Assorted colors of
Cathedral Glass, in broken pat-
terns, will be used in the windows.
The new structure will be entered
from Plasuela Street on the north
end of the building, and the altar
will be at the southern end of
the property, adjoining the home
of Mrs. Kathleen Maxwell. The
building will side on Oak Street.
The master plan for the Church’s
properties calls for a future wing
to be built between the southeast-
ern end of the new building, and
the southwestern end of the exist-
ing parish hall, thus forming a u-
shaped structure. The present
Church will be retained as a chap-
el, and at a later date will be brick-
veneered to match the new church,
and will be connected to the side

of the new building by a library
and archway.
The local Episcopal congregation
was organized on Ascension Day,
May 4, 1946, by the Rt. Rev. Ev-
erett H. Jones, D.D., Bishop of
the Diocese of West Texas, in
which the local church is situated.
Hobart Huson and the late Mrs.
James B. Heard were instrumen-
tal in organizing the new mission,
and Huson served the congregation
as its Lay Reader in the early
days of its existence. The first
priest to serve the congregation in
any capacity was the late Rev.
Charles Hill, then rector of Trinity
Church, Victoria. Later, in the
summer of 1947, the Rev. W. R.
“Toby” Belford, rector of St.
Philip’s Church, Beeville was as-
signed as priest-in-charge of the
local congregation, and this rela-
tionship with the clergyman jour-
neying from Beeville continued
through the rector ate of Belfobd,
and his successor, the Rev. John
D. Worrell. In April, 1955, the
Rev. Miller Armstrong arrived in
Refugio to become the first resi-
dent priest-in-charge of the con-
gregation. He was succeeded by
the Rev. Ronald Spangeriberg,
who served until August 1962. The
present priest-in-charge, the Rev.
Lee Sampson Block, came to Re-
fugio October 1, 1962.
When the congregation was first
organized it met in the private
chapel of Hobart Huson, and in
1950, the congregation purchased
this chapel from Huson for the
sum of $10,500.00, $3,500.00 of which
was granted the local group by the
Church Extension Fund of the
Protestant Episcopal Church in the
United States of America, $1,200.00
of which was provided by a bank
loan, and the remaining $5,800.00
which was raised by the local
group. This chapel is a modified
version of the Gloria Dei Chapel
in Philadelphia, and was designed
by Huson from actual architectural
drawings obtained from Philadel-
phia. It was always known as the
Gloria Dei Chapel until it was
purchased by the local church
group, after which time it was
simply known as the Episcopal
Church of the Ascension. When
the new church building is com-
pleted, and the small church build-
ing is returned to chapel status,
Rains Exceed
2V2 Inches
Refugio.—More than two and a
half inches of rainfall has been re-
ceived in Refugio Tuesday after-
noon and Tuesday night, with more
falling during Wednesday.
U. S. Weather Observer T. G.
Jeter has an official reading of
1.38 inches of rain for Tuesday,
December 8, when he took the
reading at 6 p.m. The rain, which
has fallen slowly but almost con-
tinuously, started shortly before 3
p.m.
By 7 a.m. on Wednesday, De-
cember 9, another 1.26 inches had
been received. This figure will be
part of the officia reading which
is made at 6 p.m.
December rainfall on these two
days has exceeded that for the en-
tire month of December, 1963,
when there was a total of 1.87
inches recorded.
High and low temperature read-
ings of the past week, as reported
by Judge Jeter, were:

it will be known as the Gloria Dei
Chapel of the Church of the As-
cension. One of the outstanding
characteristics of this chapel is
the use of a blue and white color
scheme on the interior of the. build-
ing. The interior walls are of white
wainscoating rising three feet from
the floor, with pale blue walls
above the wainscoating. The pews
are painted a pale blue. This un-
usual and most pleasing color
scheme was the idea of Huson.
Also purchased from Huson in
1950 was a small frame, barrack-
type building which stood where
the present parish hall stands. It
served as the parish hall and edu-
cation building until it was traded
to Huson for an additional two feet
cf ground across the side of the
church’s property adjoining his
home, in 1956. And on December
7 1956, the present parish house
was completed. It houses the
church orffice, kitchen, classrooms,
and assembly hall, and it repre-
sents the faith and hard work of
the members of the congregation
who built the structure themselv-
es.
The congregation has grown
from twenty-three baptized mem-
bers in 1946, to a present of one
hundred and nineteen.
The new church building is be-
ing made possible through a bene-
faction of $10,000.00 the late Mrs.
James B. Heard, a grant of $10,-
000.00 from the Episcopal Advance
Fund of the Diocese of West Texas
—the result of a $1,000,000.00 fund
drive conducted in 1960-63 by the
diocese to provide funds for con-
struction of mission churches, a
loan cf $10,000.00, and from more
than $8,000.00 raised from the lo-
cal congregation.
The public is cordially invited
to attend the ground breaking on
Sunday.

place of numbers when the Texas
Old Missions Restoration Associa-

Saturday.
It was the second annual conven-
tion of the group in Austin since it
was formed here October 27, 1952.
Robert Weddle, Menard newspaper
publisher, was elected president to
succeed Dr. W. R. Swanson, Aus-
tin physician and one of the found-
ers who was ill and did not at-
tend the meeting.

ing in San Antonio, probably in fa-
cilities at San Jose Mission.
Restoration of missions as an
incentive to draw tourists to Tex-
as became a dominant theme of
the meeting after Henry Guerra,
San Antonio radio and television
personality addressed a noon lunch-
eon meeting.
Former Refugian
Dies in Victoria
Victoria. — Alfred D. Arnold, 66,
a resident of Refugio for the past
12 years who had moved to Vic-
toria two weeks ago, died at 1:10
p.m. Sunday, December 6, in a
local hospital after a short illness.
Arnold was associated with the
Production Department of Humble
Oil and Refining Co. before his
retirement in 1959. A graduate of
Princeton University in 1922, he
had formerly resided in New York,
Pleasanton, and Kingsville.
Born September 11, 1908, in New
York, Arnold was a son of the late
William C. and Katherine Deshield
Arnold. He was a member of the
Presbyterian Church.
He is survived by his wife, Mrs.
Elsie Arnold of Victoria; three
sisters: Mrs. John Maxwell of
West Hartford, Connecticut, Mrs.
Kat Steward of Ft. Lauderdale,
Florida,and Mrs. W. B. Steers of
Mountainside, New York; and a
brother, D. J. R. Arnold of New
York City.
Local funeral services were held
at 10 a.m. Tuesday, December 8,
at the McCabe-Carruth Funeral
Home Chapel, with the Rev. Car-
roll Pickett and the Rev. J. M.

Ton of Sugar
Sought by Men
Refugio.—A ton of sugar for the
South Texas Children’s Home near
Beeville is being sought from Re-
fugio as a Christmas gift from
the community.
The Brotherhood of Men of the
First Baptist Church is sponsoring
the collection of this amount of
sugar this year. Eugene Davis,
president of the organization, stat-
ed that the men had adopted a
goal of 2,000 pounds—one ton—of
sugar for this year as they were
successful last year in securing
more than 1.500 pounds of sugar.
Each December a campaign of
canned goods for the home is car-
ried on under the slogan of “Kans
for Kids”. The local men’s group
seeks to raise sugar rather than
canned goods.
Donations of sugar for this cam-
paign can be made at the various
grocery stores of the community.
Arrangements are being complet-
ed for the placing of containers
for the sugar in the stores.
“The making of Texas the great-
est mecca for citizens of other
states will require work and some
good hard cash and a revision of
a few of our laws perhaps includ-
ing our drinking regulations and
horse racing,” Guerra said.
“But the rewards in cultural,
spiritual and economic values will
be incalculable. It can be the great-
est building influence within our
state and this organization can
point the way.”
In a morning session Edward
B. Jelks, director of the Texas
archaeological salvage project of
the anthropology department of the
University of Texas, showed slides
and described the restorative work
that has been done at Mission San
Lorenzo de la Santa Cruz at Camp
Weed in Real County.
He cautioned against any efforts
at restoration without definite
knowledge and expert guidance.
The exact location of few of the
40 or more missions in Texas has
been determined, he told the or-
ganization.
