Local April 6 report prints what appears to be a bishop letter from Bishop Co E Byrne of Galveston urging Miss Lisel Goldarbeiter to avoid the Galveston bathing beauty contest. He condemns the pageant as uncouth and vulgar and says no Galveston lady would enter. The bishop says he has sent letters to many entrants’ parents and plans ongoing opposition to the event. In Potter County a new hard surfaced highway mix from Cliffside quarries is being tested on the oil field route, promising lower costs than gravel. County Engineer J W Ryder notes the caliche and limestone blend yields a smooth, strong surface.
