Firemen
seals go
on sale
Fire Prevention Week, Oct-
ober 6-12, Is with us again
and your local volunteer Fire
Department is again asking for
your support by the purchase
of Fire Prevention Seals.
The seals have been mailed to
residents of the area, use them
but remember to send your
contribution to the fire depart-
ment. Enclosed with the seals
was a self-addressed envelope
for you to use.
Dollars Invested in the Pala-
cios Volunteer Fire Depart-
ment are used to purchase
fire fighting and life saving
equipment to protect your life
and property.
Regardless of time or wea-
ther the Palacios Volunteer
Fire Department Is ready to
serve when needed - your help
is needed now to make its seals
program a successful one.
Your fire department, if
needed, will do many things
for you besides fight fires.
They furnish ambulance ser-
vice with qualified First Aid-
ers for Palacios and sur-
rounding territory. They
maintain a blood list of all
its members and are available
if a blood donor is needed.
In case of disaster, such as
hurricanes, they maintain a
crew in Palacios to battle
fires, transport people out of
flooded areas or help in any
way they are needed.
For many years the depart-
ment has been sending fire
members to the Texas Fire-
men’s Training School at
Texas A&M. You, the property
owners, benefit from this
school attendance through a
reduction of the key rate on
your fire insurance.
If you have a fire, need an
ambulance, blood donor or
first aid - call your local
volunteer fire department,
they will come to your aid.
Now the fire department is
asking you to come to their
aid through a donation for
fire seals.

Department is a chartered
non-profit organization and
donations are tax deductible.
THIS QUINTET - is listed on the Palacios roster this year
at the tackle post, and they add strength to the Shark lineup.

AUSTIN - Got everything
packed for that out-of-state
hunting trip this fall: Guns,
scopes, thermal underwear,
camping gear, hunter safety
certificates?
If you forgot the last item —
hunter safety certificates—
you might as well forget the
whole trip in some of the
states which neighbor Texas.
To date 18 states require
some kind of hunter safety ed-
ucation before issuing a hunting
license; California, Colorado,
Connecticut, Delaware, Kan-
sas, Michigan, Minnesota,
Montana, New Hampshire,New
Jersey, New Mexico, New
York, Oregon, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island, South Dakota,
Utah and Washington.
Of Importance to Texans
are the requirements of Colo-
rado and New Mexico.
In Colorado, those born af-
ter Jan. 1, 1949, must com-
plete an eight-hour training
course to purchase a first-
time hunting license. You also
must be at least 14 years of age
to purchase a hunting license.
All persons bom after Jan. 1,
1958, who wish to hunt in New
Mexico must have completed a
hunter safety course unless
they are Immediately accom-
panied by a parent or guard-
ian. After Jan, 1, 1976, aU
persons 18 years of age or
younger must have this train-
ing prior to hunting or shooting
a firearm regardless of whe-
ther they are accompanied by a
parent or guardian or not.
Regardless of hunter safety
requirements, such instruction
is life insurance.
In Texas, a Volunteer Hunter
Safety Program is adminis-
tered by the Texas Parks and
Wildlife Department. The pro-
gram is open to everyone 12
years and older forafeeof$l.
The course is a recommend-
ed eight hours of instruction
and covers firearms handling,
first aid and survival, conser-
vation and hunter ethics.
Contact your local Texas
Parks and Wildlife Department
game warden for the name of
a volunteer hunter safety in-
structor in your area.
The Tidehaven Tigers lost
their fourth straight game to
a AA team Friday when they
were trounced by the Ganado
Indians 34-0.
The Indians came up with
their first score in the first
quarter when quarterback Tim
Walch sneaked in from the one.
Two drives, one for 45 yards
and the other for 88, includ-
ing a 23 yd. pass from Walch
to Gary Kacer, set up the TD.
A pass from Walch to Drew
Stewart made it 8-0.
Later in the quarter Ganado
scored its second touchdown
on a 7 yard pass from Walch
to Kacer. Willie Callies ran
over the 2 point conversion.
The second quarter was
scoreless although in it the
Tigers made their biggest
threat of the game when they
had first and goal on the 2-
yard line but a strong In-
dian defense stoppedthe drive.
Ganado received the kickoff
to open the second half. Half-
backs Tom Boeppie and John
Konzon groundi out yard-
(See page 4)
Friday the Fighting Sharks of
Palacios High School won their
Third ball game of 1974 and
downed their second straight
3A opponent. This time ttie
Rice Consolidated Raiders.
As in the previous game,
there was no score until the
fourth quarter and again it was
Harold Collins who scored.
This time it was on a 68 yard
ran after receiving a screen
pass from quarterback Bruce
Junek. There were many good
blocks thrown by the Sharks on
the run. Byron Amboree kick-
ed his 5th straight PAT.
The Sharks gained an early
opportunity to score just inside
the Raider 20 yard line but a
ftimble messed upthls chance,
and this seemed to set the pace
for the night—the tough Shark
defense holdingthe Raider off-
ense and the offense moving the
ball but failing to reach the end
zone.
The Rice offense was lim-
ited to 41 yards on the ground
while the Sharks rolled for
149 yards. Harold Coll ins was
the leading rusher with 63.
Carl Lee Roy rushed for 43
yards, Rudy Morales and Andy
Louderback both rushed for
29. Bruce Junek connected on
one of four passes for 68vards
and a TD.
Palacios’ defense turned in
another fine performance as
they allowed Rice only 103 total
yards. In the second quarter
the Raiders seemed about to
score with first and goal at
the Sharks 7 yard line, but the
stubborn Sharks got the ball
back on downs on the 2. Tile-
Shark defense was led by
James Jewell who had 16 tack-
les and Anthony Griggs and
Clayton Claybourn with 15
tackles each.
The fighting Sharks travel to
El Maton to battle the Tide-
haven Tigers.
This year the Tigers have
lost to four 2AA teams while
the Sharks have won three of
their four games—this would
seem to give a strong edge to
the Sharks. This is not true—
a check of the record book
shows that there is no set
pattern for determining the
winner in this friendlv rivalry
THESE LETTERMEN returned to the Tidehaven lineup this
year. Front: David Sanders, Rufus Nunn, Dennis Havel.
Standing: Anthony Woods, Douglas Havel, Ricky Graff. Not
shown: Otto Williams, Alphonse Revis, William Tweedle.
This is the week all foot-
ball fans of this area have
been waiting for since last
year’s Palacios - Tidehaven
game, which the Sharks won
by a 12-0 score.
Can the Sharks beat the Ti-
gers two years in a row?
This will be answered Fri-
day night at Tidehaven.
Kickoff time will be 8 p.m.
The Fighting Sharks, 3-1 for
the season, have tallied 41
points and given up 25 while
the Tigers, -0-3, have scored
only 12 points and allowed
113.
Both teams have lost to the
needville Bluejays - the
Sharks 7-19 and the Tigers
6127.
But records or scores
mean anything when these two
teams meet, both play to win
from the opening whistle till
the clocks run out at the end
of the game and this week’s
contest should be as much a
thriller as those in the past.
This game will renew a ri-
valry that has existed since
1949, which has seen the
Sharks victorious 16 times
suffered 8 defeats (five of
these in the last ten years)
and ended in only one tie.
Usually the Sharks' and Ti-
gers’ fans are boosters for
each other but when this an-
nual grudge game fo r the
championship of West Mata-
gorda County Is played it’s
every man for his home team.
Attend the game Friday, sup-
port your team, let the Big
Red Fighting Sharks know
you’re behind them - win or
lose.
Hunters need Tigers drop
some lessons
