HARLINGEN, April 18. — Judge
Will G. Fields has been elected
president of the Valley Rod and
Reel club with Dr. J. A. Hoekaday
of Port Isabel, vice president and
Harry Rouse of Mercedes secretary
treasurer.
These officers will serve for the
coming year. A temporary organ
ization had been in effect the past
few weeks.
Fred Wedegartner of San Benito
and Dr. Hoekaday were appointed
on a committee to seek about the
purchase of a boat from the gov
ernment to serve as headquarters
for the club. The boat would be an
chored off shore for use by members
of the dub. It is understood that
the government has several obso
lete boats which would be available.
Beet tops are more valuable as
food than the beet roots themselves.
