the probability of Coleman obtain-

largest in America, which is being

And in addition, according to a
letter received by Mayor Smith, a
hospital that would contain from
100 to 500 beds.
The radio station is owned and
operated by Companla Industrial

plan of operation would be similar
to that used by Dr. Brinkley at Del

Thanksgiving Is
Theme of Kiwanis
Program Tuesday
Kiwanlans heard both the serious
and humorous sides of Thanksgiving
in their weekly luhcheon program
Tuesday noon1 at the First Baptist
church.
Charles Wilson spoke on the hum-
orous side of Thanksgiving while
Rev. P. F. Squyres. pastor of the
First Baptist church, spoke on the
serious phase of the same question.
M. K. Witt, president-elect of the
organization, was in charge of the
day's program.
Miss Kate Thompson, accompa-
nied at the piano by Mrs. Adele
Adams, favored with two musical
numbers.
At a meeting of the board of di-
rectors of the club Joe Stevens was
chosen secretary of the club for 1933.
Visitors Tuesday included, Russell
R. Trimble, secretary of the San
Angelo Kiwanis club; R. S. Gaines,
George Purcell, Rev. John Siceloff
and Dr. J. F. Qaines.
ntsh a large building, rent-free, for
a few months in order to obtain the
studio and hospital, the letter states.
Mayor Smith probably will answer
the company's letter withlrt the next
few days.
Members of Carnival
Recently Here Fined
Members of the carnival that re-
cently visited here did not fare so
well when they visited in San An-
gelo.
Several of the game operators
were arrested under the direction of
Distlrct Attorney Gene Mathis.
Added to those troubles was an-
other raid made on the Hawaiian
dancers. All persons connected with
that side-show were made to pay
fines in a San Angelo court.
Deer and Turkey
Not So Plentiful
Now As at First
There are a great many less deer
and wild turkeys around Mason now
as compared to the day the season
opened, should the word of hunters
who are returning from that section
be believed.
Several hunters from here report-
ed they did not even get an oppor-
tunity to shoot at deer or turkeys.
Almost every day now there can
be seen severul automobiles laden
with deer or turkey passing thruogh
here from Southwest and West Tex-
as counties on their way back, to
North Texas. ♦
On two automobiles recently there#
were seen eleven bucks.

WEST TEXAS—"Raw Materials Capitol”
Offers Immense Industrial Opportunities
It has been the history of West Texas that after every na-
V tional depression this section returns to normal—and marches
ahead to greater prosperity—more rapidly than any other sec-
tion of the country.
Present fundamental conditions are sound, and West Texas*
wealth of natural resources—unsurpassed in any other part of
the country—promise future progress of a magnitude that will
djjjgirf that sensational development which a few short years
ago riveted on this section the attention of the entire nation!
AND ALERT INDUSTRIES ARE TAKING ADVANT-
AGE OF THIS ASSURED DEVELOPMENT! —
* * * * ■ "
An adequate, flexible and inexpensive power
supply is vital to industrial activity. Here in West
Texas, the "Land of Opportunity”, this industrial
necessity is ably and amply supplied by the West
Texas Utilities Company.
Industries recognize power as one of their prime
problems. They recognize, too, that in West Texas
this company has solved that problem by making
their power investment for them—and is able to
furnish energy at a lower cost than it could be pro-
t duced in any other manner.
The West Texas Utilities Company, dependably
serving 125 progressive West Texas cities, makes
available more than 100,000 horsepower of electri-
cal energy, distributed from three major generating
stations and 22 auxiliary plants over a 2,500-mile
transmission line network.
