the weather was inclement and the
roads leading out of town were slip-
pery, some of them muddy.
According to Arch Fullick, mana-
ger Turner Lumber company, who
“ramrodded the affair from this
end of the game,” the banquet and
meeting was a decided success, and
serves to start the Corpus Christi
district on an educational program
which the companies acting as
hosts have so successfully put on
in Houston and San Antonio dis-
tricts.
Ladies of the' Methodist church
prepared and served the splendid
turkey dinner for the banquet,
Which everybody present very much
enjoyed.
The route through Sinton of. the
River-to-River stretch of Highway
128 has been definitely settled by
the State Highway Commisison as
follows: Entering Sinton street
south from the bridge at Chiltipin
creek now under construction, on
the street west of the old court
house square, then west on Sinton
street to the northeast corner of the
Roy Jackson residence block, thence
south to the present Qdem-Sinton
road. Route, No. 2 through the
city, was obtained in preference
to Route No, 1, the first chosen,
which led west of the Sinton State
Bank, across the Southern Pacific
railroad, thence by the ice plant,
on account of its practicability and
considerable saving of funds.
By petition of citizens of Sinton
and through the efforts of County
Judge J. C.t Houts, for the Commis-
sioners Court, Mayor O. K. Crow
and John D. .Cochran, the State
Highway Commission was convinc-
ed that the route as outlined above
would be the one most acceptable
to the city.

Sinton To Be
Landing Field
Lease of 90 Acres of Odem
Estate Selected for Land-
ing Site Approved
Kiwanis Club
Gives Thanks
Kiwanians Observe Thanks-
giving Day at Last Week’s
Luncheon Thursday
Citizens of Sinton, who have been
looking forward to the time when
Sinton would have an emergency
landing field, since last May, when
a site of 90 acres of the Odem es-
tate was offered by the D. Odem
heirs at a nominal consideration
to the govirment for such a site,
are gratified that at last the lease
has been approved and Sinton will
actually have such a landing field.
According to J. F. Odem, repre-
senting the estate, the lease, effec-
tive September 1, 1929, for a term
of five years, was duly signed by
government officials and returned
to the Odem heirs early last week.
The site is on the left hand side of
the road leading east from the city,
and about 200 yards from the city
limits.
A large beacon light will be
placed in the field which will have
24 lights of two million beam candle
power, and surrounding the field
there will be a frame of footlights
as markers of the field’s limits.
The field will be kept lighted all
night.
Sinton will be one of the emer-
gency landing points on a direct
airway from New Orleans to
Brownsville and from San Antonio
to Brownsville.
Messrs. Odem and other heirs
of the estate are receiving congrat-
ulations of the entire Sinton popu-
lation for the success of the under-
taking which they feel is due to
the Odems, who negotiated it with
the superintendent of the Airways
Extension section of the Depart-
ment of Commerce of the United
States government.
Sinton Kiwanis club observed
Thanksgiving Day last Thursday
at the regular luncheon, as there
will be no luncheon thitf week on
account of luncheon day coming on
the National Thanksgiving holi-
day. The very able Thanksgiving
address was made by Judge J. G.
Cook, who spoke on the contrast
in the old-time Thanksgiving and
that of today; the present-day cus-
tom of spending the day in pleas-
ure as compared with the o
idea of giving thanks for bl
received—a change much to be de-
plored, and urged that Kiwanians
give more thought to the real
Thanksgiving spirit this year than
is usually given at this day and
time. ,
Guests present,'Grady Kinsolving
of Corpus Christi. president Caller-
Times corporation, and new presi-
dent of the South Texas Chamber
of Commerce, and Roy D. Clift,
president Corpus Christi Kiwanis
club, made snappy talks and inject-
ed pep into the meeting, inspiring
Sinton Kiwanians with their good
fellowship and bubbling spirits.
Entertainment features of the
occasion were two vocal duets,
“Honey, If You Only Knew,” and
“When You Look in .he Heart of
a Rose,” sung by two popular and
talented students of the Sinton
High School, Miss Christine Ward
and Milton SipeS, with Miss Una
Craft accompanying, and a read-
ing,'“Courtship Under Difficulties,”
and an encore given by Miss Irene
Stone of the High school faculty,
whose readings always delight the
Sinton public.
Attendance prize, donated by
J. J. Sparks, Jack Dodson and Dr.
L. E. Cockerham, prepared by P.
Donald, was drawn by Mrs. E. J.
Freeman, a fancy basket of home-
grown oranges.
President C. M. Livsey instructed
the committee for taking subscrip-
tions for the cemetery road, J. A.
Matthews, B. O. Burford and W.
W. Brown, to proceed with their
work, complimenting them on the
start already made, and urged that
Kiwanians give them all support
possible in the campaign.
J. E. Holbrook expressed his
thanks to the club for the expres-
sion of sympathy, a Kiwanis wreath
sent to Ft. Worth as a token of
respect at the death of his moth-
er, Mrs. J. T. Holbrook.
J. A. Matthews, chairman
is commutes on subscriptions
shelling the road to the
reports that up to the
Tuesday noon, $1311 have been
scribed toward the $2000
to shell the road and loop %
the cemetery gates. ; -
“The committee has not ypt
able to solicit everybody,” Mr.
thews said. ,rWe are
