Antonio Fiesta Association
and a member of the COM
mittee backing the project.
Several months ago the Fiesta as
ISOLATION proposed the construction Of
a memorial arch across East Crockett
street on the plaza. Finding this
would not be practical, however, the
committee suggested that the court OF
honor be built just opposite the Alamo.
Mayor Tobin declared he was 10
favor of this, and the committee has
prepared a number of drawings and
blue prints of the honor court. which
it will present to the mayor soon.
Mr.. Durkee explained the expense
will be much less since it was decided
to build the court of honor.
The committee hopes TO have th'
court completed for the Fiesta cele
brstion in April.

pointed by the chamber Of commerce.

Miss Raley's creed was picked after
the judges had pored over the last
of the manuscripts submitted, the
choice finally having been decided by
first, second and third vote of each
judge.
The last fifteen creeds were so ex-
ceptionally good that the judges ad-
mitted that it was one of the most
difficult tasks they had ever at
| tempted.
KERRVIIILE GIRL SECOND.
Second choice of the judges went
to Harriet Garrett, 964 Main street,
Kerrville, Tex, for creed similar in
text but a little different in form.

terial, but when the competition be-
came so keen 1t was necessary tc
eliminate many which was not strict
ly in the form Of creeds.
Some were too long, and approx
mately one half Of the 1900 submitted
were slogans in place of creeds. Many
were written in verse.
The winning creed submitted By
Miss Raley complies with the rules O.
the contest in that it is a statement
of belief, a prediction, an expression
Of faith.
The judges who finally passed OF
the winning manuscript were Mrs
Leslie w. Evans, Marshall Johnston
and Tom Etheridge.
