This was the sentiment - of
linemen for the telephone and
telegraph division of the Hum-
ble Pipeline Company alter
blackbirds had disrupted pow-
er line service on the Corpus
Christi-Odem circuit twice in
one week.
The power line wires run

by hundreds on these wires.
Frightened suddenly they rose
in great clouds, setting the
wires to swinging wildly. The
swinging wires touched each
other and burned out the pow-
er lines, incidentally killing off
a number of the feathery tribe.
One gleam of hope shone
through the linemen's woes: if
they could just find out when
it was going to happen they
they might rush out and gath-

Our Readers
Vutfiof?*
Many of our readers have expressed
their commendation of the n^w and more
readable type recently adopted by The
Aratisas Pass Progress for its news col-
umns. While this type appears much
larger and can certainly be read with far
less strain on the eyes it is actually quite
compact and gives fully as many words
to the column as the smaller type form-
erly used.
mV. ” ’
The Progress is the first paper jn the*
county to give its readers tfcp benefit of
this remarkable new type. ’
