Joe Morris, son of county clerk Ira M. Morris, portrayed a heroic figure in Fort Stockton's city park. Dressed in Easter finery, he rescued a 15 year old Monahans girl from drowning after she went under for the third time in the pool. He emerged with his suit soaked but undeterred, then wandered about in his bathing attire as clothes dried.
