In impressive and profoundly
touching services Saturday after-
noon the late Elvious Hicks, Sher-
iff of Bandera County, who gave
his life in line of duty here on
March 19, 1932, was eulogized, and
a simple plaque was unveiled to
his memory. The ceremonies, at-
tended by a large group of rela-
tives and friends of the late sher-
iff, were held in the Bandera
court house hall.
Chief of Police Harvey New-
comer of Uvalde, and a native of
Bandera county, opened the cere-
monies with a few brief remarks
and told the purpose of the cere-
monies to honor Sheriff Hicks
who died thirty years ago. He
listed peace officers and ex-peace
officers present including Game
Warden Richard Stevens, Sheriff
Hugh Elmsley, Uvalde; Judge John
Saul, ex-immigration officer and
present Bandera Justice of the
Peace, and Texas Ranger Levi
Duncan of Uvalde, who is also a
former resident of Bandera Coun-
ty. Chief Newcomer also paid
tribute to the late George Allsup,
who served as a deputy under Mr.
Hicks all during his tenure of
office, as loyal officer and friend.
Chief Newcomer said Sheriff
Hicks’ influence on his life moti-
vated his desire and dedication to
his profession as a peace officer,
by the things he did and the things
he stood for.
Rev. J. Manley Reynolds, pastor
of the First Baptist Church, in his
memorial service paid Sheriff
Hicks a beautiful tribute, as well
as all peace officers, and spoke
of them not as men to enforce the
laws of the land but as men who
were keepers of the peace. Their
common purpose to make our land
a land of peace. He recognized
and honored the peace officers of
Bandera county and our nation.
Miss Charmen Hicks, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. D. W. (Speedy)
Hicks, and granddaughter of the
late Sheriff and Mrs. Elvious
Hicks, unveiled the bronze plaque
which will hang in the court house
from now on.
Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Hicks
and son, Howard, and Mr. and
Mrs. D. W. (Speedy) Hicks and
children, Dickie, David and Char-
men, were present for the services
as were a large number of other
close relatives.
Chief Newcomer announced that
Congress had passed a resolution
designating May 13 to May 19
Police Week. He also reported
that the DuPont Company now has
a program on N.B.C. entitled the
“Law Enforcement Officer,” which
is well worthy of hearing.
At the conclusion of the cere-
monies Rev. Reynolds pronounced
the benediction.
Screw Worm
Eradication Now
In Process
The screwworm eradication pro-
gram has started. The USDA is
dropping sterile flies in the
Southern part of the state. It is
believed that some flies could be
north of the line where the sterile
flies are being dropped ( now.
Therefore, it is of the utmoBt im-
portance that ranchers take speci-
mens of the worms in the wound,
bring them to the Bandera Ware-
house, The ASC office, or the
county agricultural agent’s of-
fice. Take six to eight worm
specimens and put them in water
or alcohol and bring them to one
of the above named office*.
The worm specimens will be
sent to Kerrville for identifica-
tion. If they are screwworms,
the USDA will drop flies that
are sterile in that area in a day
or two. Do not wait a day to
bring in the worm specimens,
bring them in immediately so they
can be identified.
The full cooperation of all
ranchers and farmers are asked to
participate in the county to make
this program a success. Let us
help make it a success.
