Little Miss Kickball Sets Exhibition Game
THE RIO GRANDE HERALD PAGE 3 THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1977

There is a strong effort being
made to bring Little Miss Kick-
ball to the Rio Grande Valley.
An exbition game will be played
in Brownsville at 104 Tony and
Olevera Park Field, on Sunday
February 27 at 2 P.M.
Registration will be held at this
time Cor the newly organized
Brownsville League.
Little Miss Kickball is an
organized sports program for
girls 8 -16 years of age. The sole
purpose of this program is to
provide a good beneficial ac-
tivity for girls under the
guidance of adults who are
willing to give their time and
services toward a common
goal. To organize a league in-
terested individuals need only a
a strong interest in the
development of young girls.
The girls in the program are
divided into divisions by age:
Girls 8 -10 years compete in the
Junior Division, Girls 11-13
years compete in the Senior
Division, Girls 14- 16 years
compete in the Teenage
Division.
Teams of one division do not
play against teams of another
division.
There is a need for volunteers
to serve as officers of the
league, umpires and coaches.
The league will need financial
support from interested bur-
siness and professional people
and others in the community.
The game is played by rules
similar to Softball. The ball is
an inflated rubber one. The
homeplate is six inches wide.
The kicker stands in a simi-
circle behind the horneplate and
kicks the rolling ball delivered
by the pitcher. The teams score
as in softball. The team scoring
the most runs in six innings is
the winning team. Kickball is a
fast moving, challenging safe
and fun game for girls.
If you are interested in
bringing this organized sport to
your community and are unable
to attend the exibition game in
Brownsville you may write

Willard W. Thompson Dies At Age 61
Vegetable Gardeners Set Meet
WESLACO - A meeting of
interest to those desiring to
know more about home
vegetable gardening will be
held Monday Feb. 28, in the
Texas A&M Research and
Extension Center.
The program will start at 7
p.m. and last about two hours.
Three specialists from the
Texas Agricultural Extension
Service will speak. They are:
Paul Thompson, vegetable
specialist, who will enumerate
Adapted Vegetable Varieties
and Production Practices for
Home Gardens.
Dr. Jose Amador, plant
pathologist, will discuss
Vegetable Diseases and Their
Prevention.
John W. Norman, county
entomologist, will expound on
Vegetable Insects and Their
Control.
There is no admission charge.
The FBI used fingerprints on
file to identify 38,999 wanted
fugitives in 1974.
Willard W. Thompson, a long-
time resident of Starr County,
died on February 20 at McAllen
General Hospital.
Born on April 7, 1915, in
Mission, Texas, Thompson was
61 years old. Funeral Services
were held on Tuesday,
February 22, at the First
Baptist Church in Rio Grande
City, where Thompson and his
wife, Edna, have been mem-
bers for many years.
Performing the service was
the Reverend D. R. Russell,
past pastor of the church. He
told of Thompson's dedication
to the church and his family and
of his work in the community.
He was an active member of the
Masoric Hope Ix)dge No. 471 in
Rio Grande City. He also served
as a member of the school
board here. He was employed
by Continental Oil Company,
which brought him to Rio
Grande City from Rincon in
1957.
Rio Grande City Masons
served as pallbearers, and the
Mission Masonic Lodge con-
ducted the graveside ceremony
held at Laurel Hill Cemetery in
Mission. Services were con-
ducted by Virgil Wilson Funeral
Home of Mission.
Thompson is survived by his
wife. Edna: two sons, Willard
Thompson. Jr. of Colorado
Springs and Donald Thompson
of San Antonio; two brothers, C.
Hubert Thompson and W.
Harry Thompson both of
Mission; a sister, Mrs. Albert
Wickes of Mission; and three
grandchildren.
Many of the fashionable dish-
cloth arid mesh fabrics for
summer require special han-
dling of seams to prevent
raveling and fraying. In ready-
to-wear, look for enclosed
seams and narrow double-
stitched seams. Home-sewers
can use a narrow zigzag seam
or two rows of straight stitching
about one-eighth inch apart,
Margret Ann Vanderpoorten,
clothing specialist with the
Texas Agricultural Extension
Service, The Texas A&M
University System, says.
