pier and too big to weigh on the
facilities there, but fishermen
who are used to judging the
size of fish estimated his weight
at from 1200 to 1500 pounds
‘It wu an accident,” soft spok-
en Tracy said of his catch. “We
were fishing for Jew Fish. Mr.
Roberts hung this one and let me
have him. He wu all fight. It
wu a lot of fun after he wu
tied up, but I don't want any
more like him.
He called attention to the stem
of his motor launch “Dorthey.”
The little boat had bom the
brunt of the conflict. Down near
her waterline she still carried a
tooth that the fighting saw fish
had left in her stem. Then more
in detail Tracy described the
fight waged by man and boat
against a monstrous fish.
For more than 25 minutes he
fought his unseen opponent. Each
member of the party speculated
u to what their catch would be.
The water wu about 30 feet deep,
and the sawfish ran about it as
a colt plays in a green pasture.
The sweating fisherman gave
him rope grudgingly. Several
times as he sought to stop the
runs, he would set the strength
of his boat against the fish. His
companions stood by ready to cut
the line, but when the boat
could stand no more and threat-
ened to capsize, the veteran fish

Funeral For Mrs.
Hale Last Week
When the fish would. quit his
headlong rush, once more they
would begin to bring him in.
Finally when the sulling fish
allowed himself to be brought to
the surface, Tracy lassoed his
snout, but the big fish angered
by this new insult, ran the
length of the new line and snat-
ched it from his grasp, the fish-
erman letting it go rather than
risk being pulled overboard, or
having the boat sunk.
The fight began anew on the
old line. The fear of a head on
crash duhing their boat to bits
or a smash of his tail capisizing
them entered into the minds of
the sportsmen as they viewed the
power and siez of the raging fish.
Several times it seemed that the
line would have to be cut to save
Funeral services were held last
Thursday afternoon for Mrs.
Lucy Hale, 79, who died at het
rope, home here early Thursday morn-
ing ^after an extended illness.
Reverend E. Y. Seale officiated
for services at Cage Funeral
Home. Burial was in Prairie
View cemetery.
Mrs. Hale had been a resident
of Aransas Pass for 15 years and
formerly lived in Corpus Christi.
She was survived by her hus-
band, William M. Hale, a son, E.
W. Hale and a grandson Billy
Hale, all of Aransas Pass.

again in lasooing its snout, and
finally the fish was tied up. The
strike had occured at the end of
the jetty. They towed the fish to
Cline's Point where a crew came
out with a shot gun and finished
him.

COMMENDABLE
The San Antonio Brewing
Association, manufacturers of
Pearl Beer, deserves commen-
dation for their announcement
in this week's Progress' that
they will absorb the $1 a bar-
rel tax being imposed for re-
arming America.
Most families have a set in-
come. If they pxe forced to
pay more taxes, however will-
ing they are to make the sac-
rifice. their standard of living
will suffer.
If all manufacturers would
adopt this policy of absorbing
the necessary re-armament tax,
the masses might continue the
high standard of living of
which America is justly proud.
dealer or the consumer, it was
revealed today by the manage-
ment of the Pearl Brewery of
San Antonio, since the brewery
itself plans to absorb, completely
the auded tax ma'de necessary by
this measure.
The cost to the Pearl Brewery
will amount to approximately
$240,000.00 a year, or an increase
of about 20 per cent over and
above its present assessment, it
was disclosed. It feels, however,
that since the public will be ask-
ed in many ways to meet its
share of the added appropriations
for the national emergency, that
it is only in line with the Pearl
Brewery’s patriotic duty not to
ask the public to pay an increas-
ed price for Pearl Beer.
“We feel it’s in line with our
patriotic duty,” said B. B. Mc-
Gimsey, general manager and
vice president of the Pearl Brew-
ery, “and entirely in accord with
the president’s wishes that we
meet our share of the national
emergency in this way—willingly
paying our share of the whole
and still hooping th» pripp nf
our product down to its former
level. Naturally, we hope that
Pearl Beer will keep the loyalty
of its old friends, and win thou-
sands of new ones, too, in order
that the brewery may realize a
sufficient enough increase in the
sales volume to enable us in part,
to absorb the cost of this added
tax.”

James Cagney, Ann Sheridan
ahJ TBt Q*Bi ien are the tripto-
threat star trio heading the cast
of the Rialto's attraction for Sun-
day and Monday, “Torrid Zone.
In an exciting drama, set against
the background of the South Am-
erican country, Cagney and
O’Brien are cast as the hardboil-
ed plantation bosses for a big
fruit company and Miss Sheridan
as an American torch singer who
goes to the “torrid zone” to cash
in on her talents as a singer and
a card sharp.
Lone Wolf
Warren William returns to the
Rialto 7 Theatre screen as the
smoothest rogue in all fiction,
the Lone Wolf, Saturday mid-
night when “The Lone Wolf
Meets a Lady” opens. Jean Muir
is the lady in the rase, and the
I case involves a stolen pearl neck-
lace, a murder or two, and such
well-known players as Eric
Blore, Victor Jory, Roger Pryor
and Warren Hull.
Cisco
Cesar Romero comes to the
Rialto Saturday only in one of
the liveliest films in the Cisco
Kid series, “Lucky Cisco Kid.”
The Cisco Kid and his faithful
follower, Chris-Pin Martin use
strong arm methods to overcome
their mutual enemy, Joseph Saw-
yer who gives them a lot of
trouble. The romantic interest is
supplied by Mary Beth Hughes.
Nazi-ism
Desperate and unpromising is
the European situation as screen-
painted in "Four Sons,” one of
the most authoritative films yet
to be made about Hitlerism’s in-
roads abroad. Set in Czechoslo-
vakia in pre-Munich days, it is
revealing narrative of how- the
fifth column t operated to turn
brother against brother and un-
dermine the fiercely burning
Czech patriotism. The cast of
this grefrt film, playing at the
Rialto Tuesday and Wednesday
includes Don Ameche and Mary
Beth Hughes.
Gay Comedy
Bing Crosby shares honors
with his youngest co-star, little
Gloria Jean, in a bright new
comedy, “If I Had My Way,”
which opens Thursday and Fri-
day at the Rialto.
