Largest Gathering In Paisano History Is Noted Monday

Nearly 1500 Are Present Tuesday Evening, New Tabernacle Used First Time The largest opening night gath-

ering in the history of the Paisano Baptist encampment met Monday evening at thc grounds at Paisano pass to begin a week's services.

Paul Keith, secretary, reported that 800 persons were served sup­per Monday evening and some" 1200 were present for the first services j afterward.

Tuesday the registration had grown to more than 1000, with the kitchens at the camp serving some 870 and close to 1500 present for thc Tuesday evening services.

Every cottage on the grounds is full and there are tent and trail­er encampments scattered far and wide. About the only facilities left are a few dormitory spaces, Mr. Keith said, though there is room, of course, for as many campers as wish to set up their own camps.

The extra large attendance has already nearly tiiied the uiu new tabernacle, recently completed and used this year for the first time. That tabernacle is 88 x 141 feet and will seat 1800 to 2000. It is equipped with an electric organ so that organ music too, is avail­able at the" meetings for the first time this year.

Recent rains have made the grounds and surroundings very green and beautiful.

Many Marfa, Alpine, Presidio and Fort Davis folks drive out each evening to the meetings in addition to those living on the grounds— and many visitors for the en­campment are staying in the near­by communities, either at hotels and tourist camps, or with friends.

Principal speakers at the meet­ings include Dr. W. R. White, president of Baylor university, and Dr. F. B. Thorn, pastor of the first Batist church of Wichita, Kansas.

Dr. William Marshall of Wayland College and Rev. Kerr Will Head Speakers The sixty-first annual Bloys

Campmeeting at Skillman grove will open next Tuesday, August 15, and continue through August 21, with all indications pointing to-ward a record attendance.

Thc Campmeeting was first in­stituted at its present site by Dr. W. B. Bloys, Presbyterian mis­sionary, in 1890, and it was known in the early days as the Cowboy Campmeeting.

Four denominations are repre­sented at the meeting, the Christ­ian church, the Presbyterian church, the Baptist church and the Methodist church. The pres­ent superintendent of thc Camp-meetings is Dr. L. D. Anderson, pastor of the First Christian church of Fort Worth, and J. W. Merrill of Fort Davis is president of the Campmeeting association.

Principal speakers this year will be Dr. William Marshall* of Wayland college, Plainview, a Baptist institution and the Rev. Walter K. Kerr, pastor of tha First Methodist church of Kerr­ville, who is well known through­out the state in youth and social work.

Dr. S. L. Joekel of thc A istin Theological Seminary, who has filled the same position several years before, will return to lead Bible study. He will speak also, on the subject, "Letter to the He­brews."

The Rev. J. Hoyt Boles of Den­ton, Synodical representative of the Texas Synod of the Presby­terian church, will be the youth, preacher.

Mrs. E. A. Mueller will be'the advisor for the youth group and will conduct that program, with the assistance of Kimball Mi'ler of Fort Davis, head of the youth committee.

Fred-crick of Marfa will have charge of the intermediate group.

Many new cottages have been built at the grounds during the last year, though all are privately owned and there are none for rent. Ample camping space is available, however. The camp's water system also was improved during the last year and a large new storage tank built, assuring an ample water supply. A new 50 by 50 foot eating shed has been added to the Jones camp on the grounds. Campers and visitors may eat at any of the regular camps.

Tho adult Bible study under Dr. Joekel will be held at 9:00 a.m. daily and preaching services will be held at 11:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. daily.

Preparations are being * made to care for a crowd of 2500 this year. It was estimated that more than 2000 were present at the Sunday services at the Camp­meeting last year. At that time the Jones camp alone served 1100 din­ners. In previous years thurc havo been 1200 to 1500 in camp through­out the week, and it is expected that number will be increased this year.

After adjustment for seasonal variation, th» Bureau's index of business activity stood at 235 per cent of the 1935-1939 base period, or 12 per cent above a year earlier. The average for the -first six months of 1950 was 8 per cent above the comparative level of 1949.

The first indication that the downward trend in business, which had been under way since the "fall of 1948, had been reversed was revealed in the data compiled by the Bureau of Business Re3ea'rch for Julv 1949. According to Dr. Stockton, director of the Bureau, the reversal of the downward trend

In terms of live animals it is about twenty hogs, thirty five beeves, fifty lambs, and maybe a few rabbits and chick­ens thrown in for good measure.

Higher Level for State Schools Seen

Austin, Texas, August 5—Texas' already vastly improved public school system will be on an even higher level during the 1950-51 school year it was predicted here today.

More classroom facilities and more and better trained teachers will be available, it was pointed out by L . P. Sturgeon, state' as­sociate commissioner of education.

Under the new Gilmer-Aikin laws which went into effect last fall the teaching staff was in­creased by 2,000 and more than half of the school districts of the state added to their classroom fac­ilities.

An additional 1,500 teachers will be hired for the next school year. Sturgeon said. A survey disclosed many more schools will increase their facilities Sturgeon also said.

Increase in pay for teachers has added to their morale and made the profession far more attractive to young people', Sturgeon pointed out. More young people are pre­paring for careers as teachers and these better trained instruc­tors will be available in larger numbers next year to replace re­tiring instructors and those less adequately trained, according to Sturgeon.

School districts which met the requirements of state law in ordei to receive additional financial* aid from the state had a teacher for every twenty-five pupils in aver­age daily attendance during "tht last school year, but many dist­ricts were forced to put pupils on a half-timo basis.

"This will be partly alleviated du»»,ffwtilia 1050-61 school year by the construction of more class­rooms and the availability of more

teachers," Sturgeon safd.

fYour Office Supplies Store In Presidio County" has i t 8nthni,

result of the change in business policy with respect to inventories and the continued demand on the part of consumers for durable goods. Housing and automobiles were outstanding in this latter category, with furniture and house, hold goods also strong.

Industrial production in Texas rose steadily during the first half of 1950. Dr. Stockton said that the first and most obvious effect of the present emergency on the business situation in Texas and all the rest of the country is to insure that there will be no im­mediate decline from the present high level of business activity.

The new orders for munitions will be added to strong demand already existing and the new de­mand stimulated by consumers' fears of shortages and rationing to come. This demand has already absorbed the retail stocks of cer­tain commodities and appears to be strong enough to absorb the output of industry at peak levels for an indefinite period to come. It apears likely that some form of allocation of certain scarce mat­erials may be needed even before orders for munitions are placed.

If a large scale procurement program is initiated by the ser­vices, various controls wi l l " be inevitable, and they will very likely result in a reduction in the pro­duction of .certain types of con­sumer goods. Since one can only speculate at this itme as to'the course the war in Korea will take, it is impossible to forecast what! will happen to business; the onlyl course the businessman can take is; to watch events closely and make!

"with the Southern . accent," the $15,000,000 worth of equipment features cars of gleaming stain­less steel exterior, containing pri­vate rooms of latest design for comfort, a n d deep - cushioned "Sleepy Hollow" chair car seats for economy travel. In each train will be a "Erench Quarter" lounge, "Audubon" dining room and a "Pride of Texas" coffee shop — all styled in motifs of the colorful 2,070 mile route through the states of Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California.

Many of the new cars are al­ready in service on the train's present schedule, Gray said, giving travelers a pre-taste of the smooth, speedier service to come. He des­cribed among features of the train the enclosed toilet and lavatory facilities in room accomodations, non-fogging windows, finger-touch end doors, pressurized air condi­tioning with automatic zone heat­ing, high intensity non-glare light­ing, circulating ice water in all rooms, and other new improve­ments

Polished Boulders No Longer Mystery Scientist Declares

Fort Davis, Aug. «.)—The "mys­tery" or thc polished boulders at Rockpile roadside park near here that have long attracted the' at­tention of geologists and laymen alike may no longer be a mystery.

A tentative explanation of how the rocks got that way apnears in tho latest official bulletin-of the West Texas Historical and Scicn tific society of Alpine. Thc bulle­tin was issued by Sul Ross State college, on whose grounds stands tho museum of the society that was organized nearly thirty years ago.

The "tentative" explanation is that thc polishing wa3 done by Indian squaws dragging anfmal hides back and forth and up and down over the boulders for the purposo of tanning and making pliablo the hides for clothing and domestic uses.

The author of the 32-page i l ­lustrated brochure is Dr. John tSmory Adams, a vice-president of the American Association of Pet­roleum Geologists who has dono field work widely in the South­west

Dr. Adams lists twenty-five sites of polished boulders, including the many at .Rockpile and elsewhere around the Davis mountains, in Presidio, Culberson, and Hudspeth counties, in Dona Ana and Lin­coln Counties of New Mexico, and

site in Nevada and one in Okla­homa.

The most noted group of polish­ed boulders is said to be that at Rockpile beside Davis mountains scenic loop state highway on.the Reynolds Cattle company's Rock­pile ranch. In the last deeade many geogolists have examined the pol-"sjied surfaces and shaken their heads in negation. No one has been known to attempt an explan­ation other than Dr. Adams.

eward for Achievement! WH E N A M A N P L A N S and dares and en­

deavors until he achieves something out of the ordinary—few would deny him some taste of the fruits of his labor

"Tis toil'srewardthat stveetens industry." "As you have sown, so also shall you reap." "According to the labour, so is thc regard."

And we believe sincerely that—for the average man—there is no sweeter personal reward for achievement than a Cadillac car. . First of all, it is the perfect symbol of

attainment. In almost every community where adequate highways exist, Cadillac is known and recognized as the overwhelm­ing favorite of the world's distinguished people.

And few possessions, indeed, can give so much personal happiness to their owners —during so many days in the year.

A Cadillac car is a constant joy to drive. You can sit at the wheel, for hour after hour, completely at ease. Many owners say they drive hundreds of miles each week—just for pleasure and relaxation.

And it adds so much to vour satisfac­

tion to know that economy goes with you —each mile you drive.

It actually costs less to buy the lower-priced Cadillacs than certain models of numerous other makes of cars. A single tankful of gasoline will usually suffice tor a full day's drive. And the full lifespan of a Cadillac has never yet been measured.

If you are one who has planned and labored until you've earned something special for yourself—come in and see us.

We knov you'd enjoy a Cadillac—and even your severest critic would have to admit that it's a practical car to buy.
