Shaw played basketball for three
consecutive years ending early in
1926, was out Of school during the
1926-27 term. and played both foot
ball and basketball during last term.

where a high school athlete partici-
pstes in n sport during a year.

che Athens eleven. which had been
regarded as of championship calibre.
Coach Jimmy kits had built the

new HIGHWAY
Appeals to Chambers
Of Commerce For
Cooperation

Judge Oscar Dancy has addressed
letters to the chambers OF commerce
Of Brownsville, San Benito, Harlin-
gen and La Feria urging their co
operation in the promotion Of a par
allel road between Brownsville and
San Benito, which would be designed
to relieve the heavy traffic now
travelling the one main highway and
aid opening the brush country be-
tween the Missouri Pacific Lines
railway and the river to develop
ment.
"The brush country between the
railroad and the river is going to be
the center Of perhaps the most in
tense development in the Valley a~d
when this country gets planted 10
orchards" he said. with valuations
Of from $1,000 to $4,000 per acre, II
is going TO be hard TO secure right
of-way."
Dancy declared that highway No.
~ was wholly inadequate to carry
the traffic through the county.
1T is the most travelled road in
the south" he said, with the excep-
toin of the Fort Worth-Dallas pike.
Almost before we can build them we
are going to need three parallel
roads through the county"
He declared that he did not urge
immediate building of the road, but
did urge immediate securing of the
r~ight-of-way.

COMMISSIONERS BUY
ROTARY SNOW Pillow
TO KEEP ROADS OPEN

A special meeting of the county
commissioners was held Tuesday with
all the commissioners present. A
representative of the Rotary King
Snowplow people was present and one
was purchased for use in keeping the
roads open in this county.
Last week Chairman of the Board,
~. 7. Kelly, visited the western part
of the state and at that time saw a
demonstration of this machine in the
Mullen Pass. AS it was possible to
attach one of these plows to the
county tractor it was thought advis-
able to buy one, as county roads that
have been impossible by drifting
snow can now be opened by one trip
of this pillow.
The pillow is six feet high and ten
feet across in front, and cuts a swath
ten feet wide. Mounted against either
side of the PROV of the pillow are two
machines shaped like circular fans or
propellers which throw the snow off
at each side of the road. These ma
chimes are five feet in diameter and
are revolved rapidly by power from
the engine of the tractor that pro-
pels the pillow.
