PWD Urges Caution When
In Areas Inhabited By Gators
AUSTIN--The resurgence of
the American alligator in Texas
and other southern states has
been a genuine conservation
success story, but high popu-
lations of gators can hold po-
tential danger for the careless.
Protected by law, alligators
were removed from the state
endangered list in 1984 after a
successful population recovery,
Anthony Elizondo
Set Three Regional
Weight Lift Records
Anthony Elizondo competed
last weekend in the Regional m
Powerlifting Competition in
Corsicana, Texas.
He finished first in the 123-
pound class with a total lift of
1005 pounds.
He set three new meet
records, in the squat, deadlift
and meet total classes,
Anthony will compete in the
state meet on April 25, which
will be held at Texas A&M
University at College Station.
Anthony’s parents are Mr.
and Mrs. Tony Elizondo of
Buna. Both are employed at
Silsbee I.S.D.
said Dr. Bruce Thompson, non-
game and endangered species
program leader for the Texas
Parks and Wildlife Depart-
ment.
“During the past few years,
land development has brought
humans closer to alligator habi-
tats,” Thompson said. “Al-
though alligators are not usual-
ly dangerous to humans or
pets, certain rules should be
followed anytime you are
around the animals.”
At the top of the list of
cautions is to refrain from
feeding or annoying alligators.
Although they normally avoid
humans, feeding alligators
tends to make them less cau-
tious and trains them to associ-
ate food with humans.
Dog owners should keep
their pets away from the water
if gators are known to inhabit
the area. A dog investigating a
seemingly sluggish alligator
can easily fall victim. Also,
Thompson said dog owners
should never throw objects into
the water for their dog to
retrieve if alligators are pre-
sent.
Fishermen also should be
aware that gators may go after

a hooked fish or those on a
stringer tied to a dock or boat.
A good rule of thumb is to
sacrifice the fish and avoild the
gator. Thompson said. Using a
livewell or ice chest to contain
your catch is a good idea in
alligator habitat.
If you see a pile of grasses,
twigs, and/or soil in the water
during late spring or summer,
avoid it, Thompson said. It may
be an alligator nest, and the
mother gator could be nearby.
These nests should especially
be avoided during late summer
when young alligators are
hatched.
Alligators occassionally wan-
der into populated areas and
may appear unexpectedly in
swimming pools, roadways or
front yards. Anyone encounter-
ing a gator in such an area
should contact a game warden
or department wildlife bioligist,
so the animal can be removed to
a more remote area.
Persons interested in observ-
ing alligators in the wild can do
' so at Brazos Bend State Park in
Fort Bend County about 30
miles southwest of Houston.
Gators and a variety of other
w’,J!ife can be observed from
the park's trail system.
3000 Expected To
Participate In The
Babe Zaharias Relays
An anticipated 3,000 young-
sters and young adults will
participate in the Babe Za-
harias Memorial Relays at Babe
Zaharias Stadium during the
first two weeks of May, Jim
Miles, chairman of the annual
event sponsored by the Young
Mens Business League, an-
nounced.
The marathon affair attracts
area young persons over age
nine and adults of any age who
are handicapped and unable to
take part in regular school or
other organized atnletic pro-
grams, Miles said.
The event will be held May
5-7 and 12-14 and the public is
invited to attend free of charge.
Miles said.
And he added: “There is no
entry fee for participating. The
Sabine Area Restaurant As-
sociation provides food and
refreshments and more than
150 YMBL volunteers and area
citizens do the planning, stag-
ing of events, officiating, judg-
ing and award presentation.
The only responsibility of par-
ticipating schools or groups is
transportation to and from the
relays."

DENNIS CALDWELL
Dennis Caldwell
Tells History Of
McDonald’s Chain
BY Lois Grote
Dennis Caldwell told the
Silsbee Kiwanis Club about the
history of McDonald’s restau-
rants. Caldwell is owner-man
ager of the Silsbee McDonald's.
He has a degree in business
administration and worked in
the telecommunications busi-
ness for 20 years. He spent
three years in the service
during the Vietnam era.
Caldwell said about 10 years
... ago while on a vacation trip he
ran into a man who owned A
McDonald's restaurant. They
became friends and the more
they talked about McDonald's
the more intrigued he became
about it. After about six years
and much thought he decided
the business had to be some
thing worth trying out. He
contacted McDonald’s and they
accepted him into their six
month training program to
become an owner-operator.
Three years later he found
himself here in Silsbee with a
McDonald’s restaurant.
McDonald's Corp. was found
ed by a gentleman named Ray
Kroc. It really was not his idea.
He was born in .1902 and grew
up in Chicago. In the tenth
grade Kroc was anxious to get
out of school and get a job, but
jobs were hard to get. He went
into the service but the war
was over shortly thereafter and
there were few jobs for ambu
lance drivers. He finally landed
a job with Lilly Paper Company
selling paper cups and did very
well.
Later Kroc met a man named
Prince Castle who enticed him
to sell malt mixing machines all
over the nation. Along the way
he heard of a hamburger stand
in San Bernadino, California
called McDonald Brothers
Hamburgers which ordered
eight mixers. Kroc could not
understand how a little ham
burger stand could need eight
malt mixers. The malt mixer
had five spindles on it and that
meant they could make 40 milk
shakes at a time.
Kroc could not imagine such a
huge need so he flew out to San
Bernadino to watch the opera
tion. He became so fascinated
that he stayed a second day and
met the owners. During the
course of the meeting, he said
he would like to franchise their
idea of operation nationally.
McDonald Brothers were not
interested, but Kroc being the
good salesman that he was,
ultimately sold them on his
becoming their agent.
Caldwell noted that the inte
resting thing was that all Kroc
had to give the McDonald
Brothers was one-half of one
percent of the gross profits of
every store that he was able to
get franchised. Kroc was to get
one and-one-half percent, and
thereby became a multi-million-
aire before his death. They now
have over 10,000 McDonald's
and over 75 percent are indivi-
dually operated like the one in
Silsbee.
