of the buildings have been laid so
far this week. These are the
foundations for the “hot houses”
in which the natural gas will be
burned and the carbon black pro-

of the foundations are being fit-
ted at the present time.
All the steel to be used in con-
struction of the plant has already
been delivered and is on location.
Cleaning and smoothing over the
site has been finished for two

Gala Show.
Plans are rapidly being com-
pleted for the gala Halloween
carnival Saturday night, Oct. 26
around the bandstand on Com-
mercial street. The carnival is
sponsored by the Parent-Teach-
ers Association, and is under the
direction this year of Mrs. N. D.
Sanford.
The carnival will begin at 5:00
p. m. with the opening of thf
food booths, which will serve a
Mexican supper. The Goblin
parade will start at 6:00 p. m.
Two prizes of a dollar in trade
will be given to the boy and girl
of pre-school age with the best
costume, and the boy and girl of
school age with tha best costume.
The prizes will be given by the
Holland Dress Shop and Gross-
man’s Clothing store.
One of the new features of the
carnival will be the amateur con-
test, which will begin at 7:30 p.
m. The cake-walk will be held
throughout tha evening, as will
the home-made uuidy sale, which
is another new 'feature. The
quilt contest, a yearly feature of
the show, will get under way at
9:00 p. m.
The high point of the show
will come with the Queen’s con-
test at 9:30. Instead of the usual
practice of electing one queen to
represent all the schools, there
will be one queen elected from
each of the three schools.
From all indications, the carni-
val will be one of the best held
so far. The chairmen of the var-
ious committees hive put in much
work in preparation of each at-
traction. and several new fea-
tures will be inaugurated in order
to add to the fun and entertain-
ment.
Included among the many en-
tertainments will be bingo games,
fortune telling, moving pictures,
dart games, penny whistles and
penny boards and many other at-
tractions.

Kaufman to Open
New Clothing Store
Sam Kaufman, formerly with
Grossman Brothers’ store, an-
nounced this week that he will
put in a clothing store in Aransas
Pass in the near future. It will
be known as Kaufman’s, and will
be located on Commercial street
three doors south of DuBose
Drug store. The tentative open-
ing has been set for November 15.
The location will be remodeled
and redecorated entirely, with a
glazed-glass front, inverted light-
ing inside and inset windows.
The building ar.d fixtures when
complete will be comparable in
appearance with the best stores
in Corpus Christi and San An-
tonio. The beauty and attractive-
ness of the store will not mean
that prices will be any higher,
Kaufman said. He stated that
prices there will be as low or low-
er than can be found anywhere.
Before he left for a 10-day buy-
ing tour Tuesday, Kaufman ex-
pressed his appreciation for the
friends in this territory who
have given him Hie confidence
through their trade to make this
expenditure of money.
Panthers Beat
Sinton 7-0. To
Take Revenge
Locals Score in
Last 4 Minutes of
Game to Win.
The Golden Panthers of Aran-
sas Pass scored in the last four
minutes of play Friday night to
win a clean-cut 7-0 victory over
the Sinton Pirates and get re-
venge for the trouncing Sinton
gave the Panthers last year. It
was a hard-fought game from
start to finish, but Aransas Pass
had the edge throughout the
game by virtue of their potent
passing attaek.
The Panthers knocked at the
Pirate threshold five times in the
course of the game, being repul-
sed at the last minute in all of
the attempts but one. It was
fourth down for the Panthers on
the Sinton 17 with four minutes
to play. Fay faded back and
slipped a 23 yard aerial to Mat-
tox in the end zone, and it was
all over but the shouting. The
game ended with the Panthers
in possession of the ball on the
Pirate 1 yard stripe.
Thrilling Game
The game was a thriller, de-
spite the fact that Sinton never
had the ball inside the Panther
30 yard line. Costly fumbles,

the game. Sinton had the edge
on the ground game, sending
Matthews and Chafin into the
line for repeated gains which
were nullified by fumbles and
penalties.
Aransas Pass had 8 tint downs
to Sinton’s 7. The Panthers com-
pleted 7 out of 16 passes, while
the visitors passed 4 times and
had no completions. The biggest
crowd thus far this season saw
the best ball game thus far this
season, which was no more than
right
A play by play account of the
game follows:
First Quarter
Mick kicked off for Sinton,
White took it on the 30 and got
back to the Panther 43 before he
was tackled. Two tackle thrusts
by Fay and White put the ball on
the 48, and then Fay skirted end
to the Panther 48. It was last
down, so Far punted to Mick,
who was tackled on his 25 yard
line.
Taking time about, Matthews
and Chafin made two consecu-
tive first downs on straight line
plays to their 46, but Matthews
fumbled and recovered for a 15
yard loss\to the 30. Line pi

Duck Season Will
Open November 2nd
The first northers have come
and gone, bringing with them
first flights of ducks and
geese on their way to the sunny
south. Hardly a day has gone
past recently without a v-shaped
flight of the honkers passing
overhead. That means that it
won't be long until the local nim-
rods can drag out the old blund-
erbus and start taking pot shots
at the feathery tribe. The duck
season opens officially on Novem-
ber 2. Make no mistake about it,

There seems to be no lack of

is as It should be.
The information on^thb
issue is clear and has bm

ing the work to be dona It
bonds are passed are on
exhibition at The Progrees
the First State Bank, the ‘
Cafe and Harry's Cafe,
desiring further information
get it by asking any memt
the seawall committee.
Here Is a list of opinions of
members of the seawall
tee, the city coi
at large, showing briefly
they think of the seawall
as proposed:
M. W. Cl
for the
cent. %r _ -
L. D. Crumly, commissioner:
the people of Aransas Pass
pose to improve the seawall,'
presant plan is as good a one
they will ever get. I am for
100 per cent.
W. C. Hicks, commissioner:
am behind it wholeheartedly,
people of Aransas Pass have an
opportunity they shouldn’t
up.
Ed Richmond Jr.: I don’t see
how any (air-minded citizen of
Aransas Pass, with the interest
of the town in view, could oppose
the bond issue.
A. D. Hanke: The sea wall
Ject should go over by all m«
R. C. McGrath: I don’t
of a better way that the
could plan for the future of
town than to vote for the seav
bond issue.
James S. Gregg: The
work on the seawall wil
additional needed protection
the city and will stimulate
ness. The bonds should be v<
C. S. Bolton: I believe
the bond issue Will ge over by
least a 90 per cent vote.
William Nicholas: It seems
me that all the real obstacles
the passage of the bonds
been overcome. It would be fc
ish of the town to miss the
portunity we have becauaa
some petty difference that mi
exist.
R. L. Mercer: Everythin!
sible has been done to sat
voters on the seawall bond
and I certainly think it should
put over. If any point in
to the bonds or the work is
clear to any voter, I will be
than glad to explain.
Worth B. Howard: The sea wall
committee was tha largest
of mixed opinions that I
ever seen cooperate 100 per cel
in Aransas Pass, and with
30 per cent more ducks and gi
than was the case last season,
reports from the U. fc. Fist* and
Wildlife service biologists indi-1
cate. There were plenty of:
ducks in Texas last winter, but
poor hunting weather held the
total kiU down. Sportsmen are
fervently hoping for cooler wea-
ther this year.
One
iage and brush that has been cut
and laid along the seawall here
for use in the making of duck
blinds. There is one important
thing that some of the local hunt-
era will forget. We are referring
to duck stamps, which may be
obtained only at the post office.
It might be a good thing to take
those along, too.

of thanks for the long hours
