ROY RESSMANN disDlaved
a rattlesnake skin at the
Gillespie County Fair last
month which created consider-
able attention ... at least it
struck my eyes as being most
unusual and extraordinarily big
for a rattlesnake. Roy said he
killed the monster some time
last year on his ranch at Spring
Creek, between Harper and
Fredericksburg. The snake
measured 7 feet and two inches
in length, plus a “bunch” of
rattles and a button.I’ve seen
the so-called ‘Bull Snakes’
around this county measuring
seven to nine feet in length, or
even larger, but never a rattle-
snake. Perhaps this might have
been a record . . , does anyone
have knowledge of a rattle-
snake having been longer or
bigger??

WERNER E. WEBER at his
Gulf Station on East Main had
a number of 50-pound sacks of
corn, ready for the rancher or
deer-lease people to buy at
$4.50 per sack on a display
shelf. Weber said that due to
the lack of acorns this year,
many people are feeding deer
with the corn. Some kind of a
worm got into the acorns on the
oak trees the past spring and
ruined many of the potential
acorn crop on which the wild
white tail deer like to feast
each fall and winter. We did not
learn whether this situation
exists everywhere in this coun-
ty, or only in isolated places or
portions of the country. I saw
some oak trees in another near-
by county recently which were
virtually ‘loaded’ with acorns.
Perhaps that little insect, the
worm, did not get to crawl
around too far!
—Range & Field—
VIRGIL AND SYLVIA .JEN-
SEN last week said that an
insect had ruined their poten-
tially good string bean crop.
They have a small acreage a
mile or two off the highway,
east of Stonewall on the Albert
Road, where they have suc-
cessfully grown some very nice
tomatoes (all kinds), okra, bell
peppers, Jalapeno peppers,
black-eyed peas, beans, etc. On
Sundays Mr. and Mrs. Jensen
go down to the Rocky Creek
barbecue pit where they pre-
pare barbecue meats, some
times pork, beef, sausage,
chicken, or even sausage and
mutton. We’ve tried it and
found the barbecue, meat and
flavoring, much to our liking as
we did also the fresh vege-
tables.

WHILE AT STONEWALL last
Sunday around noon I was
fortunate to purchase the
“last” one-fourth bushel of
peaches of the 1979 crop at tte
Stonewall Peach Shed, Burg’s
Corner. Charles Schumann,
manager of the peach co-op and
A. J. I^oth, assistant manager,
said they believed the peaches
(Franks) came from Donald
Eckhardt’s orchard a mile
south of Fredericksburg. The
Eckhards, incidentally, were in
Burg’s Corner, having just re-
turned home from a vacation
trip to Colorado and other
places after a very good season
and hard work this summer.
Donald said that the fruit in
Colorado, peaches and apples,
was not near the large and
wonderful size peaches and
apples have been here in
Gillespie County this year.
Neither does that fruit taste as
good as the peaches and apples
grown here.
—Range & Field—
SCHUMANN SAID that the co-
op handled around 111,000
bushels of peaches this year,
not quite a record which oc-
curred two years ago in 1977
when over 130,000 bushels were
graded and shipped! Neverthe-
less, this is the third successive
year that Gillespie County fruit
growers have enjoyed a good
season . . . possibly something
unusual to have three succes-
sive years but nevertheless it
certainly helps the fruit grow-
er. The co-op handled about 600
bu. of apples recently.
—Range & Field—
BOB KING purchased some-
thing like five acres four years
ago from some of the Peder-
nales Estates property and
planted several hundred apple
trees. This past week he was
selling some mighty fine de-
licious red and yellow apples
from that orchard ... at the
flea market near Burg’s Cor-
ner, next to U.S. 290, Stonewall.
Many travelers stopped to buy
and the apples were gone be-
fore the afternoon had hardly
begun. A lot of people stopped
also to see what BOB and
MAURINE CATHEY had to
offer at their open-air ‘market’
where they featured some
beautiful and practical brass
and copper ware, as wtil as
other fascinating novelty iiterns,
and antiques, which appealed
to the visitors.
—Range & Field—
SIMON BURG’S BIG ELKq are

STONEWAL is an interesting
place . . . you should seq the
tourists and visitors flocking to
see the LBJ State Park, the
Visitor Center, the LBJ Ranch
areas, lakes on the river and
picnic sites in the vicinity. All
because we were fortunate to
have a president of the U.S.
born there, live there ... a part

TALKING ABOUT MOTHER
EARTH ... I received a news
item from the people who pub-
lish “The Mother Earth News”
which is very interesting and
informative. Perhaps some of
our readers out in the country
will take heed. If anyone does,
let me know . . .I’d like to get
in on some kind of venture like
this:

Diagrams, illustrations, and
step-by-step instructions make
it possible for almost anyone —
for about $10 — to convert his
or her automobile, tractor,
truck, and even airplane to
alcohol fuel . . . and be free
from oil cartels, high prices,
and gas lines!
We’ve got news for truckers,
too! No one has forgotten the
truckers’ strike ... or the vio-
lence that came with it. And it
could happen again, as long as
diesel fuel prices continue to
rise so drastically. In Issue No.
59, MOTHER suggests a poten-
tial solution to this problem . ..
the use of soybean oil as a fuel!
The Chinese have been running
their trucks on soybean oil for
decades . . . why can’t we?
The “Silver Volt” cruises the
highways! Electric vehicles
have long been considered an
energy-efficient, ecologically
sound method of personal
transportation . . . except that
they are often underpowered,
have a limited range, and any
number of other features that
have made them impractical as
an alternative to the gasoline-
powered automobile. But now a
completely workable, sur-
prisingly efficient electric car
is on the road . . . and it’s
beautiful, too! It’s called the
SILVER VOLT ... and in the
September / October issue,
MOTHER explains how this ex-
citing vehicle works!

UNIVERSITY SAVINGS/
EXECUTIVE ASSIGNMENTS
F:ive key executive assign-
ments have been made at Uni-
versity Savings Association as
a result of the company’s re-
cent merger, according to
Richard Collier, University
pavings chairman and chief
executive officer.
University, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Entex Inc., has
assets in excess of $1.3 billion
and deposits totaling $1,035 bill-
ion.
Wayne Riddell has been
named executive vice-president
and managing officer of the
Austin Division of University
Savings Association (formerly
Austin Savings Association).
Ken Sultemeier has been
named executive vice-president
and managing officer of Com-
munity Division of University
Savings Association (formerly
Community Savings and Loan
of F redericksburg).
Walter Fagan has been
named executive vice-president
and manager of the Real Es-
tate Division of University Sav-
ings Association.
Paul Yates has been pro-
moted to executive vice-presi-
dent and managing officer of
the Houston Division of Univer-
sity Savings Association. Yates
will also serve as chief financ-
ial officer for all University
Savings Association operations.
Don Hammond has been pro-
moted to executive vice-presi-
dent in charge of commercial
lending and secondary mar-
keting activities for University
Savings Association.
“Our management and day-
to-day operations will continue
to be supervised here in Fred-
ericksburg in our Community
Division headquarters,” said
Sultemeier. “The staff will re-
main essentially the same, and
we solicit the goodwill of our
many faithful Community Sav-
ings customers,” he said.
The Community offices,
headquartered in Fredericks-
burg, are now operating as
University Savings in Kerr-
ville, Bandera, Boerne, Com-
fort, Blanco, Marble Falls and
Llano (to open soon).
Community Savings has been
a leader in the Hill Country not
only because of the strong
financial base it offers its
customers, but also as a par-
ticipant in residential develop-
ment.
And according to Sultemeier,
the Community Division of Uni-
versity Savings will continue its
“strong involvement in the
careful growth of the Hill Coun-
try community.”

Miss Cyd Charisse is starring
' at the Fiesta Dinner Playhouse,
San Antonio, 1270 N. Loop
1604E, in “Once More With
Feeling,” starting Friday,
Sept. 14. Miss Charisse, a
native Texan from Amarillo,
has studied ballet since the age
of 8 years and began her career
as a ballerina with the famous
Ballet Russe. After touring the
United States and Europe, she
came to California and her first
film, “The Ziegfeld Follies.”
From that time on Miss Cha-
risse was enthusiastically ap-
plauded as an actress as well
as a dancer. This new dimen-
sion in Miss Charisse’s career
led to her playing a very de-
manding acting and dancing
role in “Fiesta.”
Another step forward for
Miss Charisse was the spirited
and colorful original ballet she
danced in “Words and Music.”
However, it was the show-
stopping numbers she danced
with Gene Kelly in “Singin’ In
The Rain” which gave her the
co-starring role with Fred As-
taire in “The Band Wagon” and
again with Kelly in “Briga-
doon.” Although Miss Charisse
is primarily known for many
excellent films, such as “That’s
Entertainment”, she has, over
the years, expanded her talents
to television and night clubs. In
fact, she is frequently seen in
Las Vegas with her husband
Tony Martin, who is one of
America’s greatest singing tal-
ents.
Miss Charisse has shown
audiences her versatility by
starring in such stage presen-
tations as “Ilya, Darling” and
the rollicking “Damn Yan-
kees.” San Antonians will be
able to enjoy Miss Charisse
starring in “Once More With
Fueling”, a sparkling comedy
which proves true love con-
quers all, at Fiesta Dinner Play-
house, through October 14. For
reservations to see this delight-
fully touching comedy call the
Fiesta Dinner Playhouse at 494-
7793.
