Inflation Period
Early in the first world war
nearly all the working men of
Aransas Pads had to leave here
for work and not until 1917-18
when the shipyards at Rockport
and Harbor Island were estab-
lished were our citizens able to
return for work at home. In the
dities of all kinds that ih spite
of high wages paid for alf-kinds
of work, people were unable to
save as much money then as
they can at this time. We are
assured by the government that
prices will be controlled during
this war.
We have not mentioned the
fact that army camps and flying
fields in South Texas in addition
I to the big air station at Corpus
Christi provides much work for
civilians not in uniform, so that
it may well be counted as one
of the largest industries to pro-
vide work for people of this
section. During the first world
war we did not have a big fish-
ing and shrimping industry with
a canning plant located here.
This industry provides work for
about one fourth of our popula-
tion and prices for sea foods of
all kinds will be high all during
the war. It is possible that a
larger war industry may be
cently the government depart-
ment, upon learning that many
owners had failed to register, had
sent him a supply of blanks for
use.
He said that he or his assist-
ants will be glad to assist truck
owners in the preparation of
these forms.
May 1942 beta* a
fulfillment of your
ambitions, now
weeks preceding the holidays.
The clubs we managed and
controlled entirely by employes
as thrift organizations, each club
electing a directorate to adminis-
ter its affairs. Members make
small deposits each payday which
are returned le them -together
with earnings, at the end of the
fiscal year. ~ ;v‘
A part of the funds go for fu-
neral wreaths, flowers for sick
members and fbr deserving char-
ities. Contributions to the Wel-
fare League, the Red Cross, Boy
Scouts and the Christmas Seal
campaign were made this year
from the clubs.
• Heading the laboratory group
at Ingleside, which had 31 mem-
bers, were B. A, Moers, president;
E. T. Lindsey, vice president and
H. C. Fischer, treasurer.
The office club completed its
second year with 48 members.
Officers included B. D. Alleman,
president; Frank Baldwin, vice
president; C. I. Jones, secretary-
treasurer; B. W. Hink and V. *E.
Stonecipher, directors. New of-
ficers are H. W. Grady, presi-
dent, Hink, vice president;
O. V. Hall, secretary-treasurer;
C. W. Moss, W. G. Carrington and
B. L. Ward, directors.
It was estimated that the 23 de-
partmental Christmas clubs of
Baytown, San Antonio and Ingle-
side this year paid more than
sixty thousand dollars to mem-
bers.

restrospectively check up on ac- j
complishments and achievements
during 1941 that affect the com-
munity life of Aransas Pass,
spiritually, socially, and econo-
mically, and we come to the con-
clusion that we have nothing to
complain about. In the order
mentioned, I can truthfully state
that in my opinion greater pro-
gress has been made by the
churches of Aransas Pass in 1941,
and that their influence in the
community has been felt to a
greater degree than during any
other year for more than two de-
cades. We have had less desti-
tution and calls for relief than
for many years, and we have had
an increased number of relief

the lessons it has pointed out should inspire all to finer goals for 1942.
