NEUBAUER—MUENICH
A very pretty wedding oc-
curred at the local Lutheran
Church when Miss Mary Mue-
nich became the bride of Ar-
nold Neubauer, Wednesday af-
ternoon at 3 o’clock with Rev.
Richard Schuetze officiating.
The bride looked very pretty
in a white satin gown with a
queen’s style high neck and
wore a coronet style wreath and
veil. A beautiful bouquet of
carnations and fern completed
her costume. She is the daugh-
ter of Mr. Otto Muenich.
The groom is the son of Mrs.
Clara Neubauer and wore a
dark suit.
GEORGIA MAE MATUS
No one, perhaps, knew a sad-
der ending to the year of 1939,
than Mr. and Mrs. Emil Matus,
for on New Year’s Eve they
buried their darling little
daughter, Georgia Mae, who
w^s taken from them and plac-
ed into the care of her Heaven-
ly Father after only a two-day
illness, which was not consider-
ed serious.
Little Georgia Mae had
reached the age of 4 years, 1
month and 4 days. The end
came suddenly Friday morn-
ing at 8 o’clock. Being so un-
expected made her death doub-
ly hard to bear, and it will be

Bridesmaids were Frances
Schovajsa, cousin of the bride,
gowned in orchid taffeta and
Anita Heidrich, niece of the
groom gowned in blue taf-
feta. Both carried bouquets of
geraniums and fern.
The groomsmen were Henry
Muenich, brother of the bride
child. They must, however,
have comfort in the knowledge
that she is with God, and for-
ever safe from the sorrows and
sufferings of this life.
Her parents, and a grand-
father Joe Matus, are tlje sur-
vivors.
The funeral was held Sun-
day at 2 p. m. from the home
and Carl Neubauer, brother of of her parents at Dreyer. Ser
vices were held in the Shiner
Catholic Church, and inter-
ment in the Shiner City Cem-
the groom. Both wore dark
suits.
Witnesses were Adolph Licn-
ey Jr^uncie of the bride and etery, Rev. E. Bily officiating
at the home, church and grave.
A very large number of friends
and relatives came to pay their
tributes, and the floral offerings
were profuse and beautiful.
Little flower girls were: Janet
Koliba, Ruth Malina, Louise
Barcak, Della Barcak, Amelia
Zissa, Marie Roznovsky, Eve-
lyn Havel, Evelyn Jaks, and
Albina Stluka.
Pali bearers were Ben Caka.
Ben Marcak, Jerry Malina and
Victor Matus.
Georgia Mae was born in
Danbury and three years ago
moved with her parents to
Dreyer. She was a beautiful
child and had a sunny dispos-
ition, scattering sunshine into
Willie Neubauer brother of the
groom.
Emily Jane Schovajsa and
Ruth Mae Heidrich were flow-
er girls gowned in pink taf-
feta and carried baskets with
beautiful blossoms.
A wedding supper was serv-
ed at the home of the bride,
followed by a dance at Blucher
Park.
The Gazette congratulates
the newly weds and extends
best wishes for a long and hap-
py married life.

We extend sympathy to the
bereaved survivors.
The beautiful Christmas ser-
vices at Sts. Cyril & Metho-
dius church were attended by
large throngs of devout wor-
shippers in spite of the incle-
ment weather. The midnight
services were solemn and im-
pressive. The altars were lovely
with a profusion of red gladioli
and poinsettias, the multi-col-
ored lights and lighted candles
casting a soft glow over all. The
artistically arranged stable drew
many to pay their homage to
the Christ Child. The special
music and singing by the choir
was beautiful and very appro-
priate for the occasion.
The grotto was also specially
decorated for Christmas. The
inside was illuminated by a
blue light and two pine Christ-
mas trees on the outside were
strung with vari-colored lights.
Shiner with the assistance of
W. P. A. started work this
week on a street and water
system improvement project.
The Joe A. Redy, engineer-
ing firm of Fort Worth, Texas
has been employed by the City
to engineer the project.
All labor on the project is
furnished by the W. P. A.
without any cost to the City
whatsoever. Approximately $6.
per man per month will be
given the city by the Works
Progress Administration to as-
sist in purchasing material and
etc.
The city has no control over
the labor as it is furnished by
the W. P. A. from men on the
relief rolls. It is estimated by
Mayor Richter and the city
council that the city will ob-
tain some $90,000.00 in work
done on this project at an ap-
proximate cost of $30,000.00 to
the taxpayers of our city.
At the present time there
are no funds available for em-
ploying competent help for
signing additional Lavaca Coun
ty men on W. P. A. rolls, and
until such time when new ap-
propriations will be made,
signing of men has been dis-
continued by the State.
Serious efforts are now being
made by the City Administra-'
tion and the Chamber of Com-
merce to get Shiner men now
on W. P. A. rolls, now assigned
to other parts of the county,
reassigned to the Shiner pro-
ject.
There may be some criticism
concerning the method used by
W. P. A. in working the pro-
ject, but please bear in mind
that the purpose of W. P. A. is
to create work for unemployed
men and not to create work for
machinery.
As soon as possible after the
project has gotten well under-
way and the work has proven
satisfactory, the City will ap-
ply for an additional W. P. A.
grant in order that the entire
street paving program may be
completed as first contemplat-
ed under the application to the
Public Works Administration.
The first application for funds
made by the City was to Pub-
lic Works Administration, al-
though this application was
approved in Washington, there
were no funds available and
the City Administration had to
turn to another source for aid.
Under the first application,
should the city have obtained
the grant, local labor would
have been employed, and the
City would have controlled the
labor to a large extent.
However seeing it was impos-
sible to obtain aid under the
P. W. A. and this set-up being
discontinued by the Federal
government the City placed an
application with the Works
Progress Administration. This
application was approved and
work has been started with W.
P. A. furnishing all labor with-
out cost to the City taxpayers
and part of the material.

Alderman.

HOUSTON TO HOLD
NATIONAL FLOWER SHOW
FEB. 28 TO MARCH 6
Attention of America has
been called to the huge and
spectacular National Flower
Show scheduled for Texas Feb-
ruary 28 to March 6 in Hous-
ton.
Plans were announced today
which assure for Texans the
largest and most elaborate ex-
position in the long history of
the Society of American Flor-
ists and Ornamental Horticul-
turists, sponsors of the show.
Estimates were made that
there would be an attendance
during the 8 days of the show
well in excess of 150,000 and
that the value of the exhibits
and their settings would be
nearly one million dollars.
Officials of the show ex-
pressed much gratification at
the steadily mounting number
of exhibits planned and sought.
While the Flower Show was
held in 1939 in the Sam Hous-
ton Coliseum, at least 20 per
cent more exhibit space is
planned for the entirely dif-
ferent and much more spec-
tacular 1940 show.
In addition to the showing of
virtually every seasonable flow-
er, space must be provided for
extensive exhibits of gardens,
examples of landscape designs,
blooming bulbs, flowering
shrubs and trees.
The National Flower and Gar
den Show is firmly established
as one of the greatest annual
events in the world of horticul-
ture The Society of American
Florists in sponsoring this Show-
acts under the authority of Con-
gress and receives active gov-
ernment cooperation.
The exposition is so extensive
in the scope of its exhibits that
it is literally true that during
the period of the show “the
world will bloom in Houston”,
and the big Sam Houston Coli-
seum will be the world’s largest
and most beautiful garden.
Speaking of the coming show,
Paul M. Carroll of Houston, ex-
ecutive chairman, says:
“There is nothing that can
do as mu for any community
as development in the mi nife.
its youth of an appreciation of
the finer things in life. There is
so much of sordidness evident
in this everyday world of ours,
that it is with a distinct sense
of relief that people approach
a spectacle such as the forth-
coming flower and garden show.
“Here is an exhibition untaint
ed with sordid commercialism,

members of the florists’ indus-w

CARD OF THANKS
The annual Firemen Dance,
held at the Blucher Park Newj
Year’s Eve, was, as usual, a I
great success. The neat sum of
$284.15 was cleared. Patek’sj
Orchestra furnished good music.
It is gratifying that the people
of Shiner, by attending this;
annual event in sucl> ’ large
numbers, show that they truly
appreciate the untiring efforts
of our fire boys in the good
work they are doing.
We are very grateful to all
those who were so willing and
eager to help us bear our great
sorrow in the recent death of
our darling little daughter,
Georgia Mae. We especially
thank Father Bily, the Sisters’
Choir, all the neighbors and
friends who brought the flow-
ers. All these expressions of
sympathy helped to lessen our
grief and are, therefore, appre-
ciated more than words can
tell.
May God reward each and
every deed of kindness and
neighborly assistance a thous-
andfold.
Mr. and Mrs. Emil Matus.
