Main Book Shop Invites Public To Autograph
Party Honoring Buck Schiwetz
The public is cordially invited
to the autograph party honor-
ing E. M. “Buck” Schiwetz to
be held Friday, September 22,
from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at
Main Book Shop, 101 East
Main, Fredericksburg.
The occasion will mark the
publication of “Buck Schiwetz’s
Memories” by Texas A&M Uni-
versity Press.
Schiwetz, noted artist, is no
stranger to the hill country.
Texan Institute of Cultures in
San Antonio director, the late
Henderson Shuffler once said
that Schiwetz “almost single-
handedly over the years
changed our attitudes toward
the hidden beauties of our
countryside and the honest
value of our old buildings. To
him, more than any other
Texan, belongs credit for the
healthy growth of interest in
the restoration, preservation,
and reconstruction of these
relics of our past.” He has
faithfully portrayed Texas as it
was and as it is. “What greater
contribution can one make to
the history of his native State”
commented Dr. Joseph Milton
Nance of the Department of
History, Texas A&M Uni-
versity, chairman of the Texas
State Historical Association
Fellows Committee. Schiwetz
was elected a Fellow on March
4,1977. He achieved distinction
and is acknowledged as an
artist, more than anyone else,
living or dead, to record what
he heard and saw and felt and
paper and canvass throughout
the state of Texas. His subjects
range from somber, desolate
ruins of abandoned back coun-

try farm houses and barns,
from the lovely, simple-lined
beauties of country churches of
many different denominations,
to the rococo of small town
street scenes and imposing
skylines of modern cities.
Numerous historic buildings,
including many courthouses,
which Schiwetz has recorded in
a wide variety of artist’s media
and techniques, has since dis-
appeared in the name of “prog-
ress” or from the ravages of
time.
In 80 works of art, 64 of them
splendidly reproduced in full
color, Texas’ most beloved
artist presents the fruits of his
labors over half a century in
“Buck Schiwetz’s Memories”.
Schiwetz’s 80th birthday on Au-
gust 24 coincided with the
publication of “Buck Schiwetz’s
Memories”, his third major
book.

ADVERTISE IN THE HERALD!
Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Lange
have just returned from a won-
derful four-week vacation with
their son William and his wife
Judy in Placentia, California.
Joe and Selma flew from San
Antonio via a large Continental
DC-10 airplane and spent their
first few days resting and see-
ing such historical sights as
Richard Nixon’s birthplace in
Yorba Linda, just one mile
from their son’s home. They
then undertook the remainder
of their trip through California,
Oregon and Nevada by car and
tent trailer, with stops at
motels along the way.
Their first major stop was in
San Jose, where they spent the
night before continuing through
San Francisco. They had an
interesting view of the city
from the Oakland Bay Bridge,
which gave an impressive view
of the famous Golden Gate
Bridge of San Francisco. They
especially enjoyed the city’s
modern architecture.
The Redwood trees of north-
ern California, some of the
world’s oldest and largest
trees, afforded a breathtaking
view. As they left the forests
and viewed the surrounding
countryside, the Langes were
aware of the fire hazards which
were mentioned in the news-
papers and on television. There
was much dead grass, with no
rain expected until late fall.
The lumber country around
Eureka and Crescent City,
California, caused the Langes
to pause and to survey a
lumbermill in operation.
Crescent City has the wonder-
ful advantage of receiv-
ing 70 to 90 inches of rainfall
per year! This area, along with
California’s beautiful San Joa-
quin and Nappa Valleys, af-
forded acres and acres of vine-
yards such as those owned by
the Christians Brothers Win-
ery. The Langes especially
enjoyed the prolific black-
berries which lined the road-
sides and were free for the
picking. Cotton fields were in
abundance, reminding Selma of
her childhood days: “Thank
God I don’t have to pick it! ”
Crater Lake National Park,
Oregon, was one of the norther-
most points visited. The rain
and fog were so prominent that
it was impossible to look all of
the way into the crater. Along
the way, camping was done in
clean and beautiful campsites,
often with streams of clear
mountain water running back
through the camp. At one
camp, deer and squirrels, quite
tame, walked through the
picnic area, looking for a hand-
out.
Joe and Selma had the trip
planned to go to Canada, but as
Political Announcements
FOR STATE
REPRESENTATIVE,
56th Texas District:
Subject to the November
General Election on Tuesday,
November 7,1978
JAMES E. “JIM” NUGENT
of Kerrville
(For Re-election)
they spent so much other time
seeing other places of interest
along the way, they decided to
travel more slowly than
planned. When they got as far
as Oregon they knew that time
was running out and decided to
go back home through Nevada
and to leave Canada until next
time.
In Klamath Falls, Oregon, a
museum visited indicated that
the last Modoc Indian wars
were fought in the area in the
1870’s. Reno, Nevada, with its
gambling casinos, showed the
dollars falling freely as gainb-
lers courted the favor of Lady
Luck. The Carson City, Neva-
da, Museum of Mining narrated
the history of the silver mines
in the Carson City area.
Yosemite National Park,
California, made the Langes
grateful for their Texas win-
ters, for the temperature while
they were in the Park was 25
degrees in August (cheap air
conditioning). The Park is 1,189
square miles of sculptured
peaks and domes, and was one
of the largest and most inter-
esting areas in which they
stayed. The Park has over 200
miles of black top road through jj
it. Before you enter the Park i
the elevation is just about 3,000
ft. and just a few miles you V
climb up to 10,000 ft. The roads
often, go on the rim of the
mountain; you can look
straight down in the valley
4,000 ft. on one side and see the
top of the other side 6,000 ft.
above.
The family spent three days
in this park and drove around.
There are several tunnels
through some of the mountains,
and in some places where the
snow is melting you see water
falls thousands of feet high.
At night the stars and moon
shine so brightly through the
shadows of the tall trees! There
are hundreds of tourists camp-
ing, and all have their camp-
fires going. It’s a beautiful
sight. There you see cars
everywhere from the U.S. The
massive granite formations in
the park were also iiqpressive.
Joe and Selma managed to find
a large patch of snow and to
climb to it in order to throw
snowballs at each other.
Toward the end of their
vacation they drove to Roger’s
Flower Gardens near Newport
Beach, California, where Selma
wished every flower lover
would have a chance to see all
the beautiful flowers. They
drove to San Pedro Harbor for
a view of the large shipyards. ,
One night they toured Disney-
land, a must for any tourist in (,
southern California. In addition
to the unusual rides which they
enjoyed, such as The Haunted '
House, Selma noted the beauti-
ful flower arrangements <,
throughout the Disneyland
grounds. She said that she saw
more people in Disneyland than
she had ever seen in one place
in her life.
After their western vacation,
Joe and Selma flew home to
San Antonio to be greeted by
their Texas children. Joe and
