Homer Wilson, who assigned the men to the 15 trucks and planned the truck routes, reported 96 loads hauled to the dumping ground. The number of rubbish loads speaks for the success of the cleanup. The retail merchants committee composed of Henry Flory, chairman, George Dawson, Har- Kollman, Elmo Pope, Mrs. Alice Williams, Lloyd Hermes and W. T.
Crow supplied the touch that made the cleanup possible. This committee contacted the merchants for donations of men or money. Thus, it was unnecessary for stores to close. The excellent response of all concerned points to the same type of campaign for next year. The following contributed to the cleanup drive: Giving a truck Jim Lynch and G.

Castroville To Clean Up March 27-31 A Bomb Program Monday Hondo Legionnaires, their families and high school students can take a close look at the effects of the atomic bomb when a program will be put on at the high school gym at 8 p. m.
Monday, March 21. Some nine hundred persons can view the program. The program is being put on to enlighten as many people as can be accommodated on what happens when an A bomb falls. Either Elmo Pope, past Legion president, or Miles Weynand, the present head of Hal Jones Post 128, will introduce the subject. Following will be a 10 or 15 minute skit by the Blue Birds, then a 20-minute talk by Col.
H. V. Riley, Hondo Air Base commander. Col. Riley was once among troops in Nevada trenches when the A bomb was being tested.
A 15-minute film on the things Col. Riley experienced, how the A bomb works, will precede another film on the effects as seen in World War II at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan. The program will take the place of the regular monthly scheduled meeting of the Legionnaires. The basic benefit will be to acquaint Hondoans with what to expect in the event of a bomb dropping here and how to take care of oneself. 0 Schulzes On Honor Roll Both Ivan and Milton Schultz, baseball playing brothers at Texas Lutheran College were reported on the TLC honor roll for the first semester of the 1954-55 school year, Dean A.

Penland, John W. Taylor, with G. M. Harrison as secretary. Mayor Woodrow Sharp in a proclamation to the citizens of Castroville, has designated the last week of March as the annual cleanup, paintup, fixup campaign for Castroville.
In past years, this organized effort by Castroville citizens has brought excellent results, giving everyone the opportunity to gather together the accumulated trash and have it picked up at their door and hauled away FREE. Mayor Sharp pointed out, however, that all refuse MUST BE IN CONTAINERS and the pickup crews WILL NOT TAKE GARBAGE. St. Louis Parochial School is cooperating with the cleanup campaign by sponsoring a paper drive at the same time. 'The Club urges everyone to gather together their newspapers, cartons and old magazines and bring them to the school the morning of Thursday, April 31.
Members of the paper drive committee of the St. Louis Club will be on hand to accept them. Mayor Sharp asks that everyone cooperate in this campaign, cleaning lots and yards, getting rid of old newspapers and rags; thereby removing fire hazards in homes and eliminating breeding places for flies and mosquitos. all work together to make Castroville a cleaner, healthier, more beautiful place to declared the mayor. Pickup crews will work the south side of Hwy.
90 Thursday, March 31 and the north side Friday, April 1. Citizens are asked to have everything ready for the trash collectors at the designated time. There will be but a single run of each route. IN 7-A Jail Builder Makes Bid Of $68,607 A contract to build a proposed Hondo Armory for the National Guard unit here will be let Friday, March 18 by the State Board of Control in Austin. The Board of Control announced through an item in the Bulletin put out by the San Antonio Builders Exchange March 9 that Robert L.
Guyler of Crystal City has made the low base bid of $68,607. However, Guyler, who built the Hondo county jail, was not awarded the contract on the basis of his low bid. The Builders Exchange Bulletin also said in its item of March 9 that there were four bids and that each bidder had five alternates. Mrs. Pearl Sheffield, who works for the Builders Exchange publication and handles some of its copy, said the five alternates were what the law specifies and that they may affect the actual awarding of the contract.
Other bidders and their bids include Frank Thomason, Kerrville, Allen Wilson Construction Denison, and E. H. Conrad of San Antonio, $89,495. Greatest Growth By Vincent Girl CAPTAIN HARRIS Bach In Civvlas AB Loses Dental Surgeon Dr. (Captain) Jerome Harris, who has served as dental surgeon at Hondo Air Base since July 5, ia53, is being relieved from active duly at his own request to enter private practice in Pittsburgh, Pa.
Dr. Harris received his degree from the University of Pittsburgh in 1948 and operated his own private practice in Pittsburgh before entering the service in March, 1953 at Ellington Air Force Base, Houston, wh-ere he served a few months before reporting to Hondo. Replacing Dr. Harris is Dr. Clark D.
Danner, who comes to Hondo from Ellington AFB. Dr. Danner received his degree at State College and Washington University. His home is in Ellsworth, Kan. Dr.
Danner and his wife, Nancy live at the Hondo Village. Possibly the most amazing growth in the month to month charts for height and weight in Class 7-A is that of Katherine Marie Vincent. Her chart, notes Mrs. Ethel N. Burch, shows a steady climb from September to March when the last measurements were taken.
Katherine Marie was 4 feet 9 inches tall when she started the seventh grade in September. Her greatest growth came from November to December when the chart showed she grew a full inch. She is now 5 feet 2 inches tall, and as in the two previous months she has grown a half inch since the last measurement in February. November to December seems to be the time for fastest growing since nearly all the 29 students in this particular grade show the greatest hike in height. By contrast weight gains have been slight, and in some cases where height was noticeable the poundage worked almost in reverse.
The case of Margaret Garza revealed very few Her weight has hovered at 120 pounds since the start of school six months ago. Her height took one jump of a quarter of an inch from December to January, then maintained a straight line as it had before. Conversely, Steven Bernal has started spasmodically, but has been in a steady ascendency since December of a half inch per month. Evidently, Clayton Saathoff consolidates his gains in the manner of a military leader. From September to November his height stayed at 5 feet inch, then it jumped a half inch in November to stay there a month, and jump another half inch in January where it stayed in February at 5 foet iVia inches.
Petty graph indicates a peculiarity, too. She gained no height from September until February, then suddenly spurted a full inch in February. Her weight, 94 pounds, stayed on an even keel until January when she began to lose slightly. The new year also did something for Marianne Muennink. Although it changed her poundage one iota, she did get off a steady level of 4 feet 11 inches to gain a half inch of height at the last measurement.
Olga Rosalinda key month was November. It was then she gained her most height, a half inch, and at the same time her weight nosedived. It has climbed since a a back to its former highest point at 103 pounds. Cascille Joiner began inauspiciously in September by stay- but her weight continues to rise steadily.

It takes tremendous strength of highly developed muscular action to draw certain tones from one of the most delicate instruments. Rubinoff will appear at the high school gym Monday, March 28 for matinee and night performances. Tickets are available at nine places including E. R. Leinweber which has been added to the list.

Stage Hand Hit By Car No amount of acting could keep two actors from having an accident outside Tavern Sunday, March 13.
The accident occurred about 9:10 p. m. east of Hondo on Hwy. 90. A pedestrian, G.
W. Hanna, sauntered across the road from the tavern toward his car parked on the shoulder of the highway. He never made it for a Pontiac driven by Allen Riley Wyatt, Tarzana, struck Hanna.
