All Mexican foods for both restaurants are prepared In El Patio's modern and streamlined kitchen, then sent to the Plaza cafe. El Patio caters to large and small parties, visiting football teams and other groups. It can also accomodate requests for small banquets on only a few hours notice. Plenty of parking space Is provided, Cuellar said. Cuellar brothers, three of their brother-ln-U ws and an uncle.

Although these restaurants do not form a chain, Cuellar; said, they are the biggest sellers of Mexican foods in the country. Tourists with a liking for fine foods and Mexican dishes in particular, are guided to these restaurants by signs posted outside each town in which they are located. The Plaza was recently repainted, Cuellar said. However, he said, the same pictures and decorations were retained because requests by customers that the same Mexican-type atmosphere be continued in the restaurant which has been In operation here for 10 years. El Patio will celebrate its first anniversary on the 28th of this month.

Snell, owner of Snell's Limb and Braces, 710 Cotton srteet, is a firm believer in the statement that' "there Is hardly a Job that some veteran cannot perform." He points out that the, handicapped must be fitted to a job, hut once placed proves to be a most reliable and productive workman. Too many employers believe that a veteran or non-veteran with a physical handicap cannot perform work efficiently and would endanger the lives of other workers. Snell discredits this point of view with the statement that a handicapped person is more careful and more precise In his work than other workmen who have no handicaps and have been with the firm for many years. A physical handicap, Snell said, does not necessarily mean a person has an "occupational" handicap. He urges Shreveport employers to hire handicapped persons, not only during "National Employ The Handicapped Week," Oct.

5-11. but in the other SI weeks of the year. (Times Photo) SPAN IS REBUILT Wroclaw (JP).

Military, trials constitute one of the biggest mainstays for news in Polish papers. Almost Invariably, defendants are accused of being members of underground bands engaged In espionage on "behalf of foreign powers" or expatriated Gen. Wlady slaw Anders and oppositionists to the Warsaw regime still in London.

Death sentences are frequent Prison terms are long. The regional military court In War saw, always busy, has Just opened another big espionage trial. Ten defendants are accused of be ing members of the "Committee of Western Territories," a branch of the Illegal "National party" and an Instrument of the London, emigre government." The military prosecutor charges the committee conducted an "anti-state propaganda," collected Intelligence Information on the political, economic and social life in Poland, in the western territories and in the Soviet Union. It charged that the committee sought by force to overthrow the Warsaw regime. The accused are Stanlslaw chairman of the committee; Wladyslaw Tarnawski, vice chairman; Zbigniew Nowosad, Kazimierz Prochnik, propaganda chief; Zygmunt Domanskl, Boleslaw Grudzinski, Josef Zielinski, Stanlslaw Nowotynskl.

A black and white buttlnsky wandered into the Warren avenue police station. He was so Insistent upon putting his cold nose in everybody's business that the officers called him "The Inspector." They gave him away twice. But he pattered back on both occasions.

Zippy, the mascot of Engine Company 87, presented an altogether different problem. He stayed at his post during the day, but in the evenings he sneaked off to a neighborhood theatre. Somebody always had to go to the movie house and bring him home. The firemen eventually chipped in and bought a television set. Now they hope their canine buff will stick close to his fireside.

Treadwell was one of the first ma jor builders In the southwest to recognize the possibilities of well-made concrete blocks. He has been a leader In the use of this material and use the product widely in the construction of the modern Andress building on Texas avenue. However, these blocks were manufactured In another Louisiana city. Tread well's attitude toward the use of concrete masonry in general and American Concrete company products in particular 4s expressed in the following statement: "As a result of extensive experience with the use of concrete masonry in all types of construction during the war years, I am convinced that concrete masonry units, properly manufactured of lightweight aggregate, are an excellent building material and are versatile and economical.

recommend them for many types of construction, as is evident from the fact that chose therA for various uses In my own structure. The blocks delivered to my Jobs by the American Concrete Block company are of excellent quality." Work Is going ahead on numerous Jobs throughout the city on which American Concrete Block company cinder blocks are used. Buildings recently completed In which the blocks were used are the addition to Neff Brothers Wholesale Florists on Texas avenue by the Werner company: the addition and remodeling of the Schuster building on. Centenary boulevard by the Werenr company: The Peters grocery In Bossier City by H. C.

Bellows, and many others. Besldences built of cinder blocks In the trl-state area number in the hundreds and range In cost from a few hundred dollars to more than $15,000. This progress In the use of cinder blocks is encouraging to the American Concrete Block company, Shreveport's only manufacturer of cinder blocks, and to the other reputable concrete masonry manu facturers of the Ark-La-Tex. The American Concrete Block company has pledged Itself to constant effort toward perfection In Its products and service. FILM PRODUCER HELD Warsaw.

Various uses of American Con crete company cinder blocks were made in the construction of the building. Bearing walls, 12 Inches thick were constructed using 8x8x18 inch and 4x8x16 Inch units thorough ly bonded. Treadwell chose this type of construction Instead of single 13-inch units because he believes it is a better wall in many respects Brick-faced walls were laid up, using cinder blocks for back-up ma terial. Upper floor walls eight Inches thick and plastered are of both types, entirely cinder blocks or brick backed-up with cinder blocks. Use of cinder blocks was also made In erection of retaining walls.

The American Concrete Block company believes that this Is the largest building to be constructed of concrete masonry In the Ark-La-Tex area. Approximately 20.000 units were used In the contsructlon. The company marks this structure as a major stride forward In the use of quality lightweight concrets blocks In this srea.
