aid could have been obtained
through normal university sour-

funds would not have provided
for entertainment or for trips

The funds also helped set the
athletes apart from their fellow
students, a policy which Henry
said in 1959 should not be
adopted.
There were a few cases in
which an athlete received aid

According to an announce-
ment in yesterday’s paper, the
time is drawing nigh to begin
thinking and planning for the
Cuero Little League Program.
President Carroll Cook has call-
ed a meeting for Friday night to
elect officers and map out the
year's program. It hardly
seems possible but last season
registration began in early
April and April is not as far off
as it sounds. Last season six
major and five minor league
teams were fielded.

Jack Nicklaus wrapped up the
Bing Crosby Open and $16,000
first prize money by a margin
of five strokes over Billy Cas-
per. Casper collected $9,6C0 for
second place and Arnold Palm-
er drew down $6,000 for the
third spot. The tournament was
marred by some pretty bad
weather but it usually is despite
the California Chamber of Com-
merce, and the pros are ac-
customed to taking all sorts of
weather in stride.

And the beer cans continue to
stack up on the old San Antonio
highway. If the pace keeps up a
body won't be able to see the
cows grazing in the fields. The
county maintenance crews are
clearing underbrush and other-
wise beautifying the right-of-
way along that route but so far
nothing is being done about the
debris already there and the
pew that appears overnight.
There is a fine for that sort of
thing and perhaps a little vigi-
lance on the pert of officers and
a fine or two would at least slow
down the offenders.

Last chance this season to see
basketball on the hill — accord-
ing to the schedule, that is. The
Gobbler A and B teams are
slated to meet the Bobcats of
Refugio tonight at 6 and 7:30.
The Gobblers and the Bobcats
had an exciting game in their
last meeting with the Refugio
lads hitting in the last seconds
of the game to win 47-41. The
Gobblers are slated for three
more appearances on the
boards this season with all
three games on the road.

There are many things in this
world today that I fall to un-
derstand- The principal thing I
find myself unable to under-
stand is the fact that I should
be taxed again and again to sub-
sidize bettor housing and more
income for someone who does
not have the Initiative to go out
and earn his own way. I think
I have as much compassion as
the next man and I'm willing to
help anyone that also wants to
help himself but If things con-
tinue the way they are going,
who is going to be left to pay
the taxes?
