War or no war, as long as babies
are born, as long as men and
women grow old and die, as
long as that daily bread that
you are praying for every
morning, noon and night, is
bought with money, as long as
fathers and mothers love their
children, Life Insurance has a
job to do.
Insure your life today, because
you may live too long or die too
soon.

QUESTION: I hear people
receiving monthly social secur-
ity benefits will soon be able
to earn more and still get all
or most of their benefits. What
is this change?
ANSWER: Beginning with
1966 you may earn $1500 a
year and receive all of your
social security benefits. If you
earn between $1500 and $2700
a year, one-half of the excess
over $1500 will be charged
against your benefits. All earn-
ings over $2700 are charged
against benefits. Regardless of
your annual earnings, however,
you get your benefit check for
any month in which you do
not earn over $125 in employ-
ment and do not perform sub-
stantial services in self-em-
ployment. Of course, begin-
ning with the month you be- »
come age 72, you receive your
benefits regardless of earnings.
QUESTION: I am a widow,
age 61. I have been working the
past six years, but my health
got so bad I had to quit work
last month. I got a lump sum
death payment from social
security when my husband
died. Is it possible for me to
draw social security benefits on
my husband who died in June,
1965?
ANSWER: Yes, you can draw
benefits as a widow. You do not
have to wait until you are age
62 to draw widow’s benefits any A
more. The recent changes made
it possible for a widow to draw
a widow’s reduced benefit as
early as age 60. This change
became effective in September,
1965.
Also, you will want to con-
sider the possibility of quali-
fying for disability insurance
benefits on your own record.
You should contact your near-
est social security office as soon
as possible.
QUESTION: When I apply
for a widow’s reduced benefit,
what do I need to bring to the
social security office with me?
ANSWER: You need to bring
your social security card, your
marriage record, and your old-
est proof of age.

Dear editar:
The trouble with picking up
two newspapers instead of one
is that it frequently leads to
confusion.
For example, in one paper I
found out here
yesterday
I read an ac-
count of Mrs.
Indira Gandhi’s
visit to the
United States
in her job as
Prime Min-
ister of India to
discuss world affairs and pos-
sibly step up the amount of
grain the U. S. is sending over
there.
In a speech she made at the
White House she said India is
staying neutral in the nu^ear
arms race, that while her coun-
try has the brains, the tech-
niques, and the capacity to
make nuclear bombs if it set its
mind to it, it has decided not to.
In another paper I found,
® Civics Club
The Civics Club of the eighth
grade class of St. Ludmila’s
Academy held its monthly
meeting Friday, March 25. The
meeting was opened with a
prayer and everyone sang the
class song.
Roll call was answered with
a title of the Blessed Virgin
Mary. The minutes of the pre-
vious meeting were approved as
read.
The treasurer gave his report
and collected the dues.
Reports were given by the
Holy Childhood, Our Lady’s
and literature committees. The
social committee presented a
panel discussion on vocations.
Dennis Seidenberger represent-
ed a farmer, Patty Beal por-
trayed a nun, Shirley Zissa
performed as a secretary,
Michael Muelker, pretended to
be a brother, James Miculka
represented a priest, Marie Jo
DUsek was a nurse, August Ko-
valcik, performed as a me-
chanic, Victor Patek acted as a
policeman and Cathy Sofka
represented a housewife.
New business was discussed.

apparently blown against the
same fence by the same wind,
an article explained how the
United States is sending agri-
cultural experts to India to try
to teach that country’s 60 mil-
lion farmers how to produce
more.
This is what’s confusing
about getting too many facts at
one time.
If India has the capacity to
produce something as complex
and expensive as a guided mis-
sile if it wants to, it seems to
me it’d use some of that capac-
ity to produce a little more
grain. Launching a tractor isn’t
any harder than launching a
rocket, and you can do the
former on a cloudy day. Looks
like India would drop it’s pro-
gram of providing guided walk-
ing plows for its farmers and
get into the tractor age. I be-
lieve any man who could build
a guided missile could operate
a tractor, even if it’s as com-
plicated and headstrong as the
17-year-old one I use on this
Johnson grass farm.
As I understand it, the Amer-
ican farmer is now growing
enough for himself and 33 other
people. If the 60. million farm-
ers in India did as well, they’d
produce enough for nearly 2
billion people, which is five
times that country’s population,
and would result in grain-hun-
gry Prime Ministers visiting
there, instead of the other way
around.
All this proves is that a man
with two newspapers sometimes
can be twice as confused as the
man with one.
Editor’s Note— The follow-
ing editorial tribute to Mr.
and Mrs. W. L. Russell of Hous-
ton appeared in a recent issue of
the Houston Chronicle:
“A philanthropic Houston
couple, Mr. and Mrs. Willard
L. Russell, were fittingly hon-
ored when Baylor University
named the newest dormitory
on its Waco campus,

The most recent of the Rus-
sell benefactions was the dona-
tion of a tract of land in the
east part of Harris County,
valued at about $250,000, to
terested persons attended the
Rosenberg sessions, and that
the public is invited to Sunday’s
special discourse.

An impressive double ring
ceremony united in marriage
Miss Patricia Ann Connor of
Refugio and Edward Howard
Killgore Jr. of Beeville Friday,
March 18, 1966 at five o’clock
in the afternoon in the First
Baptist Church of Refugio. The
Rev. James Hogg, pastor, of-
ficiated. Traditional wedding
music was provided by Miss
Brenda Rhome.
The bride is the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Lester
Connor of Refugio. The bride-
groom’s parents are Mrs. Wal-
ter S. Johnston and Edward
Howard Killgore Sr., both of
Biloxi, Mississippi.
The bride, who was given in
marriage by her father, chose
for her wedding a three piece
oyster white linen suit with
embroidered lace inset forming
the waistline of the fitted jack-
et, which fastened at the waist
with a lace-covered button.
Her headpiece was a match-
ing lace circlet from which fell
a veil sprinkled with rhine-
stones. She carried a nosegay of
feathered white carnations and
lily of the valley enhanced with
long white satin ribbon stream-
ers.
Miss Linda Moore of Refugio
attended as maid of honor. She
was attired in a pink brocade
sheath, fashioned with a Sa-
brina neckline, with which she
wore a pink bow and net head-
piece. A corsage of white feath-
ered carnations complemented
her attire.
Donald Neissen of Yuma,
Arizona served as best
Doug Connor, brother
bride, ushered.
Immediately following the
ceremony, a reception was held
at the home of the bride’s par-
ents.
Arrangements of various sea-
sonal flowers were used at van-
tage points throughout the
home.
Miss Charlene Schultz pre-
sided at the guest register.
The bride’s table laid with
natural colored lace was center-
ed with the bridal bouquet. The
wedding cake was a white iced
confection crested with an arch
holding sugar spun bells, wed-
ding rings and lily of the valley,
encircled with sugar spun roses
and bells. Miss Kathy Butler of
Refugio served the cake, while
Miss Frances Hardy ladled the
punch.
The bride attended Refugio
High School and Corpus Christi
Beauty College.
The bridegroom received his
high school education in Biloxi,
Mississippi.
After a honeymoon trip to
Houston and Corpus Christi,
the couple is residing in Re-
fugio, while the bridegroom is
on duty with the Navy at Chase
Field, Beeville.
Among the out-of-town
guests in attendance were the
bride’s grandmother, Mrs. Ray-
mond Broz of Beeville, formerly
of Shiner; Mr. and Mrs. E. L.
Balusek Jr. and Beverly Ann,
Mrs. E. L. Balusek Sr. and Mr.
,and Mrs. A. F. Muenich, all of
Shiner; also Mr. and Mrs. J. A.

Baylor. An interesting fact
about the Russell Foundation is
that it is the largest contributor
to the Christian Rural Overseas
Program. Twenty-five freight
carloads of rice produced on
the Russell farm and ranch in
Brazoria County have been
given to CROP.
Mr. Russell is a remarkably
versatile man: lawyer, author
of two books which have enjoy-
ed good sales, lecturer, and
rancher; formerly a mining en-
gineer, one time printer and
linotype operator, psychologist
and holder of several earned
gw
and honorary degrees. Mrs.
Russell is scarcely less versa-
tile: a graduate in music who
played for years with the
Houston Symphony i
active in numerous
church and civic organizations.
Many honors have come to
the Russells in recent years, not
the least of which is the nam-
ing of Baylor’s most modern
dormitory for them.”
Mr. Russell is a native of
Hallettsville and Mrs. Russell
is a daughter of the late E. F.
and Sophie (Trautwein) Wol-
ters of Shiner.
