5 LBS. SUGAR
FOR CANNING
Five pounds of canning sugar can
be had at grocery stores in the 44
counties of the Houston district be-
ginning March 11 on stamp No. 9 in
War Ration Book 4, EH strict Director
Stephen J. Tully Jr. of the O. P. A.
announced.
The stamp will be valid through
Oct. 31, Mr. Tully said. It was vali-
dated for canning sugar Monday
throughout the nation.
“Don’t count on this, but if sugar
supplies in the nation increase enough,
another stamp good for five more
pounds of canning sugar might be va
lidated this summer,” Mr. Tully said.
“The supply of sugar is still very
short and is expected to continue short
through 1946, the Department of Ag-
riculture tells us.
“Stamp No. 9 in your ration book
is intended for home canning only. If
you don’t plan to can, destroy your
stamp or return it to your local board.
Inventories of sugar in many stores
are very low. Don’t use your canning
sugar stamp unless you plan to can.
“If you do, you might be making it
impossible for another family to get
the sugar it needs for canning.
“Don’t UBe your stamp until you ac-
tually are ready to do your canning.
While it is true that another stamp
may be validated, there will not be
more than these two at the most.”

Offers For Senate
Walter A. Schaefer of Schulenburg
authorizes The Journal to announce
his candidacy for State Senate from
the 15th Senatorial District. Here is
his announcement:
To the people of the l'5th Senatorial
District:
I have been urged by a number
of prominent citizens over the dist-
rict to enter the race for Senator of
the 16th. Senatorial District.
I was born in Lavaca County near
Moravia, and moved to Schulenburg,
Texas at the age of seven years.
I am an Ex-Service man of World
War I, having served twenty-four
months, twelve months of which were
spent on the Battle Fields of France
and the Army of Occupation. I am a
member of the American Legion and
Veterans of Foreign Wars.
Being a firm believer of States
Rights, I am unalterably opposed to
Federal Controls of all kinds, now
that' the war has ended. I believe
now and have always believed that
local control of our natural resources
was essential to the welfare of the
citizens of our state.
I am for better educational facili-
ties, both rural and city, and will be
in there fighting to improve our
school system.
I am for adequate aid to our serv-
ice men. Nothing is too good for our
fighting men who served- their coun-
try so faithfully to preserve our
Freedom and Security.
Every assistance should be given
our aged dependants and bur Elee-
mosynary Institutions. I will make
every effort to see that everything
possible is done for these unfortu-
nate people.
I am fob flood control and soil
conservation to aid our farmers in
protecting their property and to pro-
duce better crops.
I believe in the improvement of
our farm to Market Roads to enable
our farmers to market their products
in all kinds of weather. The farmer,
being the very backbone of our live-
lihood, should be given every oppor-
tunity to progress. Having been a
Rural Mail Carrier for the past twen-
ty-four (24) years, I am fully quali-
fied to argue the necessity of good
country roads. My route was a very
long one and nearly all dirt roads,
traversing parts of Fayette, Lavaca,
and Colorado counties.
If elected I am fully aware of the
duties and responsibilities of the of-
fice and promise to fulfill these du-
ties and responsibilities in a fair and
impartial way.
The vote and support of all citi-
zens of the 16th. Senatorial District
is hereby solicited.
Yours very Respectfully,
WALTER A. SCHAEFER
Wallace Cherry For
Re-election, Prct. 3
Wallace Cherry has authorized
Tlhe Journal to announce his candi-
dacy for re-election as commissioner
of Precinct No. 3. In announcing his
candidacy, Mr. Cherry said:
To Voters of Fayette County, Pre-
cinct No. 3:
In announcing my candidacy for
re-election for office of County Com-
missioner, Precinct No. J, I wish to
inform you, I have tried to maintain
roads and bridges where they would
be passable at all times, even though
there has been a shortage of ma-
terials essential for road construction
and shortage of labor.
The cost of materials and equip-
ment have advanced considerably in
comparison with pre-war days there-
fore, the dollar today will go not
more than one-half as far as previ-
ously. All the work has been done
with Road and Bridge fund.
I have purchased a shovel with
dragline attachment to load trucks
and I expect to continue surfacing
roads so that it will be possible for
school buses, mail carriers and milk
trucks to make their full route each
day. Also, I have bought one large
maintained We have our equipment
in good shape. Also, our finances are
in good shape. My record stands as
an open book and always glad for
any one to review them. I havd tried
to be fair and impartial and spent
tax payers money as economical as
possible. As long am I am Commis-
sioner I will endeavor to keep the
tax rate as low as possible.
I am now serving my second term
as Commissioner and solicit your
vote and support, subject to your
action in the July Primary, July 27,
1946.
Your friend,
Wallace Cherry

For Commr., Prct. 2
R. A. Pietsch authorizes The Jour-
nal to announce his candidacy for
the office of Commissioner of Pre-
cinct 2, subject to the July Demo-
cratic primaries. His announcement
follows:
I am 42 years of age and have
lived on a farm near Nechanitz all
my life. I worked for the county
about four years on roads and brid-
ges, also served six years on the com-
munity and county committees for
the AAA Farm Program.
I was requested by my friends to
make the race for Commissioner.
If elected your next commissioner,
I will strive to get 100 per cent value
out of your tax dollar spent—spe-
cial favors to none and justice to all.
With these years of experience on
roads and with the public, I feel that
I am well qualified to fulfill the of-
fice I am seeking.
I assure you that it shall ever be
my aim to render to the precinct and
the county the best service of which
I am capable.
I shall make no further campaign
promises, as actions speak louder
than words. I expect to see as many
voters personally as possible. In the
meantime, I solicit your vote and
support which will be highly appre-
ciated.
Respectfully yours,
R. A. PIETSCH
Charley B. Borovec
For Prct. I Commr.
Charley B. Borovec authorizes The
Journal to announce him as a candi-
date for commissioner of Precinct 1
in the Democratic primaries. His an-
nouncement' follows:
To the Voters of Precinft 1:
I herewith announce my candidacy
for commissioner of Precinct 1. I do
so at the request of friends and sup-
porters of my candidacy two years
ago when I announced only 30 days
before the election and lost out by
only 306 votes.
I was bom at Sohujenburg and
was reared on a farm nearby. In
1916 I went to work for the South-
ern Pacific railroad building and re-
pairing bridges.
On June 7, 1917, I enlisted in the
U. S. regular army, was sent to a
horseshoeing and blacksmithing
school, and upon completion of the
course, was rated as a sergeant,
transferred to the national army and
was placed in charge of the shoeing
and blacksmith shop at Remount No.
2, near Camp Travis. In the summer
of 1918, I wad transferred back to
school as an instructor and remained
there until the end of the war. I re-
ceived my discharge on March 81,
1919.
Upon my return to civilian life, I
was engaged by Charles Baumg&rten,
a sub-contractor on the construction
of the first highway in Fayette coun-
y. I worked as foreman, was in
charge of teams, implements and
men, and also was in charge of cuts
on the road.
When the contractor’s Job was
finished, Mr. Baumgarten turned his
teams over to me and we went to
work for the Southern Pacific clean-
ing cuts and building dumps. I was
foreman of about 60 laborers. In
1920 we went back to work building
the highway east of Schulenburg and
remained on that job until I caught
“cotton fever" and quit to go to
farming. I engaged in farming until
World War II broke out. My aon en-
listed in the navy, and my daughter
wishing to finish high school, I was
compelled to aell out' and move to
town. After moving to La Grange, I
was employed in a war plant in Ve-
lasco, the PX at Camp Swift and fa
cold drink businesses in La Grange.
I am a Legionnaire, belonging to
the H. J. Ehlers post for the past
14 or 16 years. I was never in court
and never paid a fine.
If elected your oommieeioner, my
motto will be: "Make your tax dol-
lar go farther—and dryer roads and
wetter ditches.”
Your vote and support solicited
and will be appreciated.
Respectfully,
Charley B. Borovec
City ToGel Two
Pressing Shops Soon
La Grange will soon have two more
cleaning and pressing shops, it has
been announced.
Equipment was moved into the
Mrs. Max Melcher building across
from Journal office, Tuesday for Max
Allen Melcher, who plans to open
for business shortly.
The other will be opened by W. M.
Holloman, just to the rear of the
Koenig Auto Oo. Further announce-
ments are to be made tatter.
Herman E. Zapp Is
Out For Re-election
The Journal is authorized to an-
nounce the candidacy of Herman E.
Zapp for re-elaction as commissioner
of Precinct 2. Mr. Zapp’s announce-
ment follows:
To the voters of Commissioner’s Pre-
cinct 2.
I hereby announce my candidacy
for the office of commissioner of
precinct 2 for re-election, subject to
the action of the Democratic primary
which takes place next July.
In seeking to be re-elected to this
important office, I assure you that
my policy in conducting the affairs
of the office in the future will be the
same as it has been in the past—
that is, to conduct the affairs of the
county, as well as those of my pre-
cinct, or a sound business-like and
economical basis and see to it that I
get value received for every dollar
expended. I shall be short on making
flattering promises but long on per-
formance. I shall continue to devote
my full time to this job and when-
ever possible continue to co-operato
with the people fn my precinct to aid
and assist them in carrying out the
soil-building and soil-conserving
practices as outlined by the Bastrop-
Fayette Soil Conservation Diet. No.
310 in the District Program and
Work Plan and as each farm is
planned by the Work Unit located in
La Grange. Considerable work along
this line has already been done in the
short time it has been in operation
but there to much more to do. How-
ever, my first concern will be to keep
all roads and bridges in a good state
of repair and then whenever possible
co-operate with any and all individu-
als in so far as is possible to help
them with their soil conservation
work. This is our number one pro-
blem as far as our American agricul-
ture is concerned.
During the war years I was often
handicapped in doing the most ne-
cessary thinga because of break-
downs and not being able to get re-
pair parts. Frequently my big ma-
chinery was idle for a long time be-
cause of such conditions. Soon I
hope all this will be past history and
as peace time production increases
and all strikes are settled.
Also, during the past two years I
had considerable sickness in my fam-
ily and only recently had the mis-
fortune to have my home completely
destroyed by fire with practically all
its contents. This was a terrible blow
but I shall be able to overcome the
same when I am assured of the loyal-
ty of my friends in the coming cam-
paign.
Again I invite your constructive
criticism and welcome your suggest-
ions.
During the campaign I shall en-
deavor to see as many of you as
possible and discuss with you our
common problems. I hereby thank all
of you for your past votes and sup-
port and at the same time ask you
to again re-elect me in the coming
election. Thanks.
Your humble servant,
Herman E. Zapp

Gus Russek of Schulenburg has
authorized this newspaper to an-
nounce his candidacy for the office
of State Senator from the 15th Sen-
atorial District. •
Mr. Russek’s announcement fol-
lows herewith:
To the citizenship of the 16th Sen-

In this formal announcement, I
pause humbly, to preface this state-

Red Cross Campaign
Getting Under Way
Volunteer workers are, or will be,
covering the county in an effort to
raise $6,000, Fayette’s quota of funds
to be used for maintenance of Red
Cross service to the armed forces,
services to overseas veterans, disas-
ter preparedness and relief, and com-
munity services in the county.
The amount is a big decrease from
the fund raising quota for the chapter
last year, a figure in keeping with the
peacetime decrease in service to the
armed forces, largest single Red
Cross wartime effort. The national
goal of 100 million dolars is also a de-
crease from the 200 million dollar goal
of 1946 when Red Cross service to
the armed forces here and abroad ac-
counted for approximately 80 per cent
of the organization’s budget.
Although the shift over from war
to peace entails a cut in the national
budget, Drive Chairman Marshall
Holloway points out that ample funds
still must be available for new pro-
grams in veterans’ hospitals as well
as for the amplification of peacetime
services of long standing.
Service in veterans’ hospitals, the
chairman said, is just one example of
the type of need that the Red Cross
now is meeting. It calls for the set-
ting up in veterans’ hospitals of a re-
sident Red Cross field director whose
work is to coordinate the veterans’
work of Red Cross and other volunteer
groups within a radius of 100 miles
of the hospital. In the new program
recreational and maraAe tasks, fitted
into the medical planning of hospital
authorities, will be the function of the
volunteers for years to come, he ex-
plained.
