Lineman Injured When Pole Breaks

The harrowing experience of "riding" a telegraph pole about twenty feet to the ground came Wednesday afternoon to Raymond L. LaCaze, Western Union Tele­graph Co., lineman who suffered severe internal injuries.

Mr. LaCaze was working with the company's line crew about two miles from. Marfa on the Alpine highway when the accident hap­pened.

He had climbed the pole and was taking the crossarm from it when the pole, believed to be rot­ten except for a 3-inch inner "heart," broke under the strain. Mr. LaCaze fell about twenty feet, it is said, and the heavy pbie struck him across the hip. No bones were broken but he is be­lieved to have suffered severe in­ternal injuries as well as bruises.

The worker is said to have bee", using his safety belt and had his climbing spikes in the pole. When the pole started to fall he realized his predicament and attempted to twist on the pole so he would not be crushed by it. He partially suc­ceeded as the pole took him to the ground and more serious injury probably?was.avoided as a resultf jj^" c a n* m

Morning Event June 28 To Open Scenic Loop Route

T h o m a s B . L o v e M a y Preside at C e r e m o n y A r r a n g e d b y C i v i c C l u b FORT DAVIS, June 12.—The

date of Saturday, June 28, was set Monday night at the Mile High Club for the formal opening of the Davis Mountains State Parks highway 74-mile scenic loop, that is the culmination of twenty-one years of cooperation and effort on the part of Fort Davis citizens, land owners, highway officials of two decades, and Jeff Davis county commissioners.

Many present and former state and highway department officials are being invited and some have signified their intention of being on hand.

Among those invited is Thomas B. Love of Dallas who was a state senator at the time of the inception of the scenic loop idea, who intro­duced the authorizing resolution into the legislature, and who is known as "the daddy of the road." The former senator has indicated his intention of' being present if his health permits, and if he is it will be he who will "cut the bar­rier ribbon."

The ceremony will be held at 10:30 in the forenoon under the shade of the great cottonwood trees just north of the old fort grounds, and will be broadcast by station KVLF of Alpine with the interested cooperation of the man­ager, Glenn Burgess.

In the afternoon there will be a drive around the loop with a stop at the McDonald Observatory.

It is believed that by that date, if rainy weather does not inter­fere, the loop will be completely paved. The process of blacktop-ping the last nineteen miles was begun M^nda-', according to Jack Dumas, who is supervisor of the work for the state in the absence of A. V. Chapin, local resident en­gineer. Several committees are active in the carrying out of the celebration arrangements.

Mr. Burgess was present for the meeting. Members M. C. Brittain and B. B. Bounds were the pro­gram committee. The committee for the next meeting, June 23, is club preside *- <T! F. Carlton and E. M. Carlton.

Mr. Brittain and Harry Jarrett entertained the twenty-two men present with a beautifully col­ored moving picture of the Pan-American highway through South America, showing marvelous views of the Andes and old cities of the southern continent.

C i r c u l a t i o n Repor t Cer t i f i ed for U s e by Those U s i n g A d v e r t i s i n g Nearly a year's keeping of cir­

culation records of the Sentinel according to requirements of the Audit Bureau of Circulations, Chi-

the Big Bend Sentinel as a mem­ber of the national organization of advertisers, advertising agencies, and publishers.

In April an auditor was sent to examine subscription and paper sale records and his verification of figures that have been kept is the basis on which membership was granted.

The circulation analysis that has been issued by ABC, as it is commonly known, shows a net paid weekly average of 1,041 copies of the Sentinel were distri­buted in October, November, and December. An additional 118 (weekly average) is made up of subscriptions in arrears, sample copies, checking copies for adver­tisers, etc.

The Sentinel is one of few West Texas weekly newspapers that are ABC papers. Membership in the organization is growing rapidly, however, as the worth of certrfit-d circulation figures is realized by publishers who seek to present a true picture of their product's con­sideration by the people among whom it circulates.

Texans totaling 907 receive the Sentinel each week and 665 of that number live in Presidio Coun­ty. Five dealers in Marfa, one in Presidio and one in Fort Davis sell the paper. One hundred and nine copies go each week to people in states other than Texas.

Braulio Medina, a schoolboy sells forty to fifty copies a week. . Some evaluate a medium's worth for advertising by considering only net paid circulation. Others receiving the publication read it, of course, but the advertiser's "yardstick" for determining value is his consideration of the number of readers who value it enough to pay for it.

Newspaper Gives Birth to Landmark In Presidio County

Born: one area landmark. The name "Elephant Rock"

has been given to the progeny of the Sentinel, Presidio Coun­ty's newspaper. The weight of the landmark is not known but is believed to be tremen­dous. The child (of the ele­ments in many years) was born on the Presidio highway, not far from Shafter.

Moral to above story: don't take a newcomer's word for the destroying of a territorial landmark. The Sentinel did. (Issue, May 16).

A favorite newspaper story of the Sentinel editor is that of the man whose death was incorrectly reported in a news­paper. He complained to the editor and was told that the mistake would be corrected at once by publishing a birth notice regarding the man.

The man who writes each Thursday for the Sentinel about what the weather will be didn't get far out on a limb yesterday afternoon.

He predicted "no rain indicated in next several days" and not many would rise to debate the matter with him.

There'll be fair weather today and Saturday, he said. The mer­cury won't rise quite so high today but it will get back on the job Saturday and will take a spurt up­ward to make life a bit more un­comfortable for the one that is not so busy that he has time to think about it.

A Highland Hereford will be sold at auction in front of the Quality Hardware and Furniture and the money received will be used to buy a milch cow that will be used in a European country where dairy animals are nearly non-existent as a result of the ravages of war.

The Rev. AMn O. Rue, pastor of the Presbyterian Church in Marfa and in Fort Davis, made the announcement of this year's meeting.

that chemists for the type of work that it is expected to do here are quite hard to secure as most men who have specialized in that branch of science are interested in work of a different type than that proposed for the Marfa institu­tion.

A West Texan but not well versed in the problems of the Trans-Pecos area, Dr. Dodd will begin his work here "from scratch," expecting to betoriic cog­nizant of the peculiar problems of this area as he goes along and learns conditions. As Dr. Schimdt said it— "anyone would have to do it that way who woesn't know this country." D o d d D e l R i o N a t i v e

Dr. Dodd was born and reared in Del Rio and was graduated from high school in the Val Verde County town in 1937. He was interested in animal husbandry and specialized in that field at Texas A. and M.

Hinckley's Brochure On Botany Off Press

Just off the University Press of Notre Dame, Indiana, is an 18-page booklet by Dr. L. C. Hinck­ley, former school principal here and now a member of the Sul Ross college faculty at Alpine.

The title of the pamphlet is "Contrasts in the Vegetation of Sierra Tierra Viejo in Trans-Pecos Texas." It is a reprint of an article from "The American Midland Naturalist" in January this year, and deals with the geol­ogy* typography, climate and bo­tany of the mountains along the Rio Grande in Presidio and Jeff Davis counties, an area common­ly spoken of as "below the Rim."

The publication has several illu­strations including- the Joe Sit­ter's canyon with a view of the abandoned farm there.

KIP styling for a moment — it's pretty well admitted by now

that Buick has caSlcd the tizrr» on the shape of cars to come.

A n d for the present, slide over performance — with that big bonnetful of F i reba l l power, nobody's going to challenge you much on the open road.

What else has the trim Buick got that others can't quite come up to?

Y o u find one big answer where the cobbles are plentiful, the car tracks tangled, the bumps big.

This brawny traveler has a ride - a smooth, level, easy stride that makes you think of a canoe drifting in quiet waters.

One reason: It was Buick that first introduced the American public to soft, gentle coil spring­ing on all four wheels.

It was Buick that first made it

— four blg-bui-gentle coil springs Permit each wheel to "step over"

bumps as it reaches them, lt is this independent action of each wheel that gives Buick its matchless

buoyancy on any and all rsadz.

possible for each wheel to step over bumps as they came along, leaving the frame and body to pursue their level way undis-f an—1*

Buick's coil springs keep their

gentle softness always. T h e y need no greasing or attention. T h e y are unaffected by dirt , wear or the weather, and break­age is practically unheard of. '

The net of it all is that you put yourself on Easy Street when you seat yourself in a Buick. Y o u make every road a better road — every ride an adventure in smooth and buoyant comfort.

W h y not drop in and learn more?,Whether you have a car to trade or want to ta!k on a "clean deal" basis, you'll always find a warm welcome here.

For Dog and Chicken DENTON, June 4.—A lady has

a mother complex. The lady—a cocker spaniel; the complex—a tiny chicken.

Lady, owned by L. E. Sorrels of the North Texas State College fac­ulty, recently began mothering the faded pink Easter gift to Sorrels' son after a second chick died. The shiny black spaniel and chicken share the dog house, the chick cuddling beneath the dog's long hair for warmth. Lady, according to Mrs. Sorrels, gently nudges the chicken to its food, encouraging it to eat. t

In turn, the chicken may be seen following Lady about the yard, ana* Lady, who prefers that her tiny charge stay inside the dog house, lifts it carefully in her mouth and returns it to the dog house each time it strays away.

Van Horn Loses To Marfa; El Paso Team Here June 15

T w o G a m e s Scheduled F o r W e e k F r o m S u n d a y ; P l a y e r s A r r a n g e Dances

Van Horn baseball players fell before the onslaught of the Marfa Indians Sunday when the Marfa team came out on the top side of a 6 to 1 score, and with only one error marked against them.

Joe Sanchez was on the mound for the Indians and F. Lujan was behind the bat as Sanchez struck out five Van Horn players. J . V i l -lalobo and J . Deanda did the hurl­ing for the visitors and N . Quin­tana was the receiving player. The Van Horn pitchers struck out six of the Marfa players. Two Marfa players made the trip to first base on balls, and one of the Van Horn men got a free walk.

The E l Paso Forti Al l Stars have been scheduled as thtj In­dians' opponent for two games here Sunday, June 15, and it is believed that the contests will at­tract a large number of sports fans of this section. The first game will be at 10:30 in the morn­ing and the second at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. -Both will be played on Tarango Field.

Two dances have been an­nounced by the team fcr Satur­day and Sunday, June 14 and June 15. One will be Saturday night and the other Sunday night. An E l Paso orchestra will play.

FORT DAVIS, June 4.—Golf and fishing are the pastimes most needed in and near here to enter­tain summer visitors.

This was the summing up of the principal talk before the Mile High Club, May 26, and it was made by E. Y. Freeland, new citizen and owner of Canyon Lodge, formerly Lirapia Annex, who arrived :'n town a few days ago with Mrs. Freeland to open their lodge for the summer.

His statements were endorsed by the club, as these pastimes, particularly golf, have been a subject of frequent discussions. Mr. Freeland spoke from the standpoint of "The Outsider's View." He spent the winter in Brownwood, and is a former col­lege football coach.

Sidney-Bouchette, chairman of a committee to raise Fort Davis' quota of district Yucca Council Boy Scouts funds, reported that $310 had been donated.

In a recent clean-up-the-town week, where the club offered to pay for a truck to haul away un­sightly trash, the bill was reported to have been $80.

Speaker Freeland said that an outstanding quality of Fort Davis is the friendliness and hospitality of the people.

B. B. Bounds and the Rev. M. C. Brittain are the program com­mittee for the next meeting, June 9.

Gauge Test Advisable For Pressure Cookers

COLLEGE STATION, June 4. —Running a test on the steam gauge of the pressure cooker now will save many a housewife trouble during the canning season.

Correct operation of the pres­sure gauge is all-important in home cannings, says Miss Gwen­dolyn Jones, food preservation specialist of the Texas A. and M. College Extension Service. Proper processing of lew acid vegetables and meats depend on whether the gauge registers correctly. If the gauge is "off," warns Miss Jcnes, food may be under-processed and lost by spoilage, or it may be over­cooked, which results in loss of food value and flavor.

The food preservation special­ist urges homemakers to watch for an announcement from their local county home demonstration agent about pressure cooker clinics which arc being held over the state. At these meetings, the homemaker may take her cooker in and have it inspected and tested.

KNEW WHAT SHE WANTED— It doesn't often happen that an

Movie Theater in Fort Davis Soon

FORT DAVIS, June 4.—Ready about the middle of June will be the new moving picture theater being established by Jack J. Kimble of Fort Worth, and which will be named "The Apache" in historical keeping with the fact that the region was the homeland of the Apache Indians prior to the late 1870's.

Mr. Kimble, a young man, is the owner and w i l l manage it him­self. He and Mrs. Kimble and their one child have already moved here and work is well ad­vanced on fitting up and decorat­ing the Veteran of Foreign Wars building north of the Masonic hall and next door tb the Domin­guez Coronado cafe. The struc­ture, purchased last ye:;r by the veterans, was former].1/ in the Carmack estate.

M r . Kimble said he plans to put m 250 cushioned seats. Ke is building a small stage at the rear, "for use by the Fort Davis public for amateur theatricals and such like, if they desire," he said. He said he plans four changes of film a week, at least for the sum­mer.

Many changes in Hotel Limpia being made by the new owners, Mr. and Mrs. Ben R. Taylor, are nearing completion. The large dining room has been made into three apartments and the smaller dining room decorated and made ready for guest use. A stone wall is under construction around the rear yard, enclosing flower beds, a lawn and big shade trees, for the use of guests. And the drilling of a well was started the first of the week. It is being drilled within a foot or two OJ" the hotel wall with the intention of placing the pump in the basement to protect against freezing.

Name of Many Words Gives Writer Trouble

FORT WORTH, June 4.—Mari­no Anderson, junior history-major at TCU from Quito, Ecuador, isn't particularly fond of writing his signature, and for good reasons.

While in San Antonio recently, Marino stayed in a hotel one night. The clerk informed Marino after he had registered that the hotel was crowded and couldn't possibly accommodate the persons listed.

"Anyway," continued the irked clerk, "you aren't putting all these people in one room, are you?" "But I'm alone," Marino contested, and explained that Carlos Rogue Raul Jenaro Marino Anderson Rivadeneira Von Kiessel Marques de Trastamara was. his full name.

Wrights Guests This Week of People Here

Service in the Navy Air Corps was ended recently by Kenneth Wright and he and Mrs. Wright are visiting this week on the Rawls Ranch here.

Mrs. WTright is a granddaugh­ter of Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Rawls.

Mr. Wright has been stationed at Grand Prairie but received his discharge at Orange. After leav­ing here the Wrights will visit his people in Massachusetts before he enrolls in a university in the east to continue college work.

How to Go to Sleep

Ready for your approval...

• l e T f l 5 B

We were sitting around Bill Web­ster's parlor Friday evening and the talk turned to the best way of over­coming sleeplessness...like breath­ing real slow and deep, imagining that you weigh a ton, or simply throwing away the pillow.

The consensus favored counting sheep. But right away was the question: what kind of sheep? There were some votea f or cour.tin* Merinos, Shropshires, Oxfords and Dorsets. Ed Mapes said he had best luck counting crossbreeds.

Finally, Bert Childers spoke up

with his formula: A light snack and a mellow glass of beer at bed­time. Sort of puts you in the mood for quiet thoughts and peace of mind. Lets you relax . . . and "ho hum,n off to pleasant dreams!

From where I sit, there's noth­ing like a temperate glass of beer to smooth away the creases of the day, relax a body, and pave the way for a good night's sleep. Try it, and see if I'm not right.
