215 YOUNGSTERS
GET POLIO SHOTS
A total of 215 youngsters, in
ihe first and second grades in
La Grange and area schools,
received their second anti-
polio shots here Wednesday
afternoon.
This figure is commensurate
with the present state average
—which has been right at 50
percent of the first injections
given last April.
Four hundred and twenty-
five kiddos were innoculated
in the initial shots at that time
here.
“Booster shots” will be
available later on, but they
will be on a patient basis, ac-
cording to Dr. L. F. Zatooek
of La Grange, county health
officer.
The La Grange Recreation-
al association was formally
organized as a benevolent and
non-profit organization at a
meeting here Monday night,
when a state charter was ap-
proved and the originally
named officers were inducted.
Clarence Schwake heads the
organization as president.
Miles L. Moss serves as vice
president, Walter P. Frey tag is
secretary and Geo. Lauter-
stein is treasurer.
The kickoff for a concerted
drive for additional $15 mem-
berships has been set for Mon-
day morning, Aug. 8, when
the Lions and Rotary clubbers
—serving as a steering com-
mittee—will take off to solicit 'Trinity Hill.
additional members.
The original 30 members, at
Monday night’s session were
approved as charter members,
and others will be accepted on
the basis of $15 a share. Gifts,
in any amount, will also be
gladly received, the president
said. These may be divided
over a period of two or more
years.

Members of the La Grange
K. J. T. lodge, joined by mem-
i bers of the K. J. Z. T., will ob-
serve the patronal feast of the
men’s organization Sunday.
K. J. T. members will re-

The feast will be observed
socially at the fair grounds
where a basket lunch will be

as well as refreshments, will
be provided.
It Was A Fire, But
It Was ‘Man Made’
It was a fire, alright, at the
new Kasper-Michalk gin here
Tuesday night about 9 o’clock
—but it wasn't disastrous. Tt
Was a “made” fire.
The ginners had a quantity
of old oil and. inasmuch as it
was the La Grange firemen’s
drill night, they asked the
firemen to cofne out and ex-
tinguish the blaze after it was
burned down.
The fireboys were treated to
refreshments by Fred Kasper
and Gus Miehalk, owners, aft-
er the practice run.
‘Koepke Kiddos’
Win 8-7 Game At
Weimar Tuesday Eve
The “Koepke Kids” did it
again at Weimar, the combo
defeating the Weimar All-
Stars there Tuesday night, 8
to 7, in a super-duper ball
game, thanks to fine composite
team play, which included a
four-run home run by Boggan
of Schulenburg and neat re-
lief pitching by James Kar-
stedt of La Grange, who was
booked as the mound winner.
James had previously stop-
ped the Weimar All-Stars 8-6,
as far as hurling duties were
concerned, on July 21.
The winners, composed of
teen-agers from La Grange,
Schulenburg and Garwood,
who are coached by Kermit
Koepke of La Grange, over-
came a 6-0 deficit going into
the 4th frame. Boggan’s hom-
er, with the bases loaded,
coupled with singles by Bing
Kallus, Vawter, and Barta
deadlocked the fray at 6-6:
The Koepke-Kids added two
more, one in the fifth, another
in the sixth to provide the
margin of victory.
On the mound, Barta, for the
winners, was nipped for six
runs, fanned two, walked two;
Karstedt gave up one tally,
fanned none, walked one.
Helmcamp, who, on paper, cer-
tainly deserved a better fate,
whiffed 15, allowed eight runs,
issued four free passes. Four
errors by mates hurt him.
At bat, for the Koepkeboys,
Eugene Niemeyer. rightfielder,
looked good with three for
four, including a triple; Bing
Kallus. leftfielder, had a per-
fect night with two for two;
Boggan, first sacker, aided
greatly with his round-tripper.
Singles were added by Sonn-
tag, Vawter, Barta and Wali-
gura. •
For the losers, all of the
bingles were singles. The hits
were registered by Rightfield-
er Cole, Catcher G. Berger,
First Sacker Peter (2 for 3)
and Second Baseman Binder.
Skipper Koepke’s lads are
slated to play a 2-of-3 series
with Eagle Lake within the
immediate future, dates for
which are to be announced
when bookings are complete.

To Government’s
Lint Surplus Sale
Reports that the US govern-
ment is planning to announce
the release of all of its surplus
cotton for sale on the world
market between Aug. 1 and
Aug. 1 of 1956 has brought a
storm of protests fi'om all over
Texas.
Hardly had the rumors that
the Commodity Credit Cor-
poration would sell its surplus
at world prices been circulat-
ed, when cotton men and or-
ganizations swung into action
in an effort to either block or
change the reported plan.
The Old Cotton Belt Asso-
ciation of Texas sent this tele-
am to Secy, of Agriculture:
s indicate that you
plan to sell government cotton
below support prices. Our or-
ganization is opposed to any
plan of that nature during the
harvest season, because of the
hardship it places the farmer
under to dispose of his cotton.”
Several alternate proposals
have been suggested, but ap-
parently they have not been
considered, Texas cottonmen
said.
home demonstration clubs top rung with a 12-2 record,
from Rutersville, Warda and However, the Holman Red Sox
have two rained-out games to
make up and could tie the
Ramblers with a couple of
wins. On the other hand, Hal-
lettsville also has two tilts to
go, and could tie Flatonia for
fourth place with one win, or
clinch the spot with two vic-
tories.
Holman plays at Halletts-
ville next Sunday to account
for one of the make-up games,
and on Sunday, Aug. 7, Hol-
man treks to Plum and Shiner
journeys to Holman.
The playoffs, which will be
a “two out of three” series,- are
due to begin Sunday, Aug. 14,
with clubs No. 1 and 4 tangling
and Nos. 2 and 3 in the other
semi-final. The winners will
then “hook up” in a similar
series for the league title.
Should there be ties for
either or both first or fourth
places, they would be deter-
mined in a one-game “sudden
death” series.

MAYOR’S PROCLAMATION
Whereas, August 1 through August 8 has been designat-
ed as Fayette County Cotton Week, and
Whereas, cotton is the most widely used of all fibers, meet-
ing approximately 70% of our domestic fiber requirements, and
Whereas, cotton is the most versatile of all fibers with its
qualities of comfort, strength, launderability and long wear,
and
Whereas, the cotton crop with its fiber and seed helps sup-
ply the three basic necessities of life—food, clothing and shel-
ter—as well as hundreds of products which contribute to the
high standard of American living, and
Whereas, cotton is America’s most important crop, ac-
counting for about one-fifth of the total income from U. S. farm
crops, providing a livelihood for some 13 million people and
representing a total investment of nearly $20 billion, and
Whereas, cotton and its products not only are important
to the economic welfare of our country but also are essential
to the maintenance of its industrial strength, now
Therefore, I, Milton von Minden, Mayor of the City of La
Grange, do hereby proclaim the week of August 1 through
August 8 as
COTTON WEEK
in the City of La Grange, and call on my fellow citizens to join
me in this tribute to cotton and the cotton industry through
increased use of cotton and cottonseed products.
