The neighboring city ©«
Victoria is tackling its char-
ity fund program with a
vim.
Victoria backs the United
Fund program, the fund to
finance 18 welfare, health
and youth agencies.
Drive leaders have set
their goal this year at $W,-
200.
They expect to get pledg-
es of $53,800 from ISO top
contributors alone.
The goal, just short of
$100,000, makes our local ef-
forts to raise funds for the
Chamber of Commerce, the
Red Cross, Boy Scouts, Sal-
vation Army and other such
organisations look easy.

Looks as if Cuero is going
to follow the Gobblers to
Port Lavaca in force Friday
night.
Naturally we are in for
another tough one, but the
Gobblers have no fear.
Again the under-dog they
hope to pull one out of the
fire and they have the spirit
to do it. Given a break or
two the Gobblers could make
the water mighty hot for
the Ctotes on Friday night.

Cuero’s civic center will be
taking on a gay atmosphere
tomorrow as plans are com-
pleted for the annual PTA
carnival.
Here Is a spot where boys
and girls, and "oldsters” a-
likc, can find wholesome
fun.
There will be food, cold
drinks and entertainment,
so plan to b® on hand, en-
Joy yourself and contribute1
to a worthy cause.

It is nothing unusual to;
read of The Rt. Rev. Everett
Jones, Bishop of the Episco-
pal Diocese of West Texas,
cited for an award, but it
always makes his many, ma-
ny Cuero friends feel good.
Rev. Jones actually started
up the ladder In Cuero and
he has climbed since leav-
ing this city. His latest a-
ward, the Golden Deeds A-
ward of the Exchange Club
of San Antonio is another
in a long list. j

Actual Construction
Of Canyon Dam Assured
GBRA Director Learns
Assurance that actual construction of the 1$ mSitaffi
dollar Canyon dam and reservoir on the Guadalupe above
New Braunfels will soon get underway was given in e
telegram received late Tuesday by C. F. Comtes, DeWitt
County member of the Board of Directors of the Guadfito
lupe Blanco River Authority from E. M. Cape, gen|ra£
counsel and general manager for the OBRA.
Mr. Cspe stated in his tele-
gram tn Combs that the contract
between the chief of U.S. Amy
engineers and the Guadalupe
Blanco River Authority has been
finalized and is in process of
clearing through channels for
delivery to the Authority.
Cape further said In his tele-
gram that a meeting of the board
of directors of the GBRA will
be held in Victoria as soon as
copies of the contract are re-
ceived and that date for the
meeting will be set by chairman
Edgar Kngelke.
The contract between the G8-
i RA and the chief of Army engi-
neers was necessary before Fed-
eral Funds voted by Congress
and approved by the President
could become available for ac-
tual construction of the Canyon
Dam, Combs said. •
Congress in May of 1958 voted
91,800,000 tn Federal funds as a
start toward the dam construo-
tion. GBRA has approximately
93,000,000 available now and will
ultimately provide some 98.300.-
000, Combs stated. The remain-
der will come from additional
appropriations by the Federal
Government.
