Comanche Chief Notes Public Bridge Award and Local Tales
The Comanche Chief details Clyde F. Silvas of the Texas Highway Department receiving a prestigious bridge award for the Devils River Bridge on U.S. Highway 99 west of Del Rio. It notes Silvas and Lella Silvas’ Texas roots, school ties, and long service. The issue then shifts to Public School Week praises at Comanche Public Schools, honors for 1919 graduate Robert Emmett Harris, and Texas 65 Health Insurance updates with Medicare changes effective July 1 1966. The column closes with a long reminiscence on a 1900 Davis Mountains bear hunt and camp life shared by local families.
