SHINER PUBLIC SCHOOL
P. T. A.
The Shiner Public School
Parent - Teacher Association
held its regular monthly meet-
ing in the seventh grade room,
April 11, 1940.
The meeting was called to or-
der by the president of the or-
ganization, Mrs. Ernest Hajek.
After the roll call of of-
ficers, the minutes of the pre-
ceding meeting were read and
approved; the treasurer gave a
favorable report.
Communications, notices, and
bills were read by the secretary.
The association voted to pay all
bills.
Everyone was requested tc
show continued interest in the
campaign for coupons offered
by the Liberty Flour Mills, San
Antonio, Texas. By saving these
coupons, you will help your
school orchestra obtain a few
free musical instruments.
Since there are twenty-three
senior graduates this year, the
association found it necessary to
purchase three additional caps
and gowns.
There being no further busi-
ness, the meeting was adjourn-
ed.

NUMBER U
ST. LUDMILA’S SENIORS
PRESENT ANOTHER ANGLE’
TO LARGE CROWD
Rt. Rev. Mons. Netardus in
few but very encouraging and
enlightning words welcomed
the interested and appreciative
audience.
Although postponed on ac-
count of bad weather “Another
Angle” was successfully pre-
sented Sunday. This pleasing
and very attractive comedy had
its serious moments and the
sympathetic idea was worked
out in an unusual manner.
Margaret Dane, played by
Helen Hrncir, was a girl of
thoughtful sympathetic dispos-
ition, and it was she who made
the members of Circle 8 under-
stand that youth is temporary,
therefore they should help qlder
people and in this way see life
from Another Angle.
Miss Clara McKee, played b)
J osephine Koenig, was a
thorough gentlewoman with a
warm responsive nature. She
made a favorable impression up
on the members and changed
their attitudes towards the
older people.
Cynthia Holmes, played Dy
Julia Dvorak, was a friend of
Margarets who at first did not
like the idea of changing the
object of the Circle by helping
oldsters. But when she heard
Miss Clara's talk she immediate
ly changed her mind and gave
her wholehearted consent.
Marion Lawrence, a great
lover of hats was played by
Helen Tasler. A member of the
Circle she refused to take the
back seat while advanced years
ride in front. Convinced that
she too will grow old some
day she turned attention to the
older people no longer able to
help tnemselves.

“Doctrine of Atonement” is
the subject of the Lesson-Ser-
mon which will be read in all
Churches of Christ, Scientist, on
Sunday, April 21.
The Golden Text is: “The Son
of long ago.
Lillian Pustka, playing the
part of Nana, the maid, was
longing for a stage career. Her
hope was realized when Miss
Clara helped her through a
friend of hers. A girl in a class
by herself she wanted to make
money and help others.
Leo Ebner, playing the part
of A1 Fuller, Vice President of
the Circle, thought his office
gave him the authority to order
anyone around. However, he
was ready to indorse the new
idea presented by Margaret.
Valentin Matula, playing the
of man came not to be minister-1 Paif °f Buddy Hobbs, a lively
ed unto, but to minister, and Y°.un^ chap took life lightly, but
to give his life a ransom for
many” (Matthew 20:28).

the following from the Bible: ° .,™,™g real thoughts in
spite of a funny heart.
“I have fought a good fight, I
have finished my course, I
have kept the faith: Hence-
forth there is laid up for me a
crown of righteousness, which
the Lord, the righteous judge,
shall give me at that day: and
not to me only, but unto all
them also that love his appear-
ing” (II Timothy 4:7,8).
In the passing of Mrs. An-
nie Verunac, aged 59 years,
whose death occurred at the
local hospital Sunday at 3 a. m.
a noble, Christian mother was
called to her final reward.
Born in Praha she was rear-
ed and received her Christian
education in our community.
She was married to Frank
Verunac, a prominent business
man of Weimar, and they have
resided in that city ever since,
Mr. Verunac passing away 4
years ago.
Funeral services were con-
ducted from the family home in
Weimar, on Tuesday at 9 a. m.
with Solemn Requiem Mass in
St. Michael’s Church celebrated
by Mons. Jos. Szymanski, with
Rev. Lud. Blinka as deacon and
Rev. Ed. Bily as sub deacon. A
sermon by Rt. Rev. Mons. Ne-
tardus brought a message, of
comfort.
Burial was made in the Wei-
mar Catholic Cemetery by the
side of her husband. The at-
tendance at the last rites was
large, many from here attend-
ing.
Survivors include four sons,
Frank of Chicago, Justin or
San Antonio, Joe and James of
Weimar. Five daughters, Mrs.

Alfons Grill of Shiner and Mrs.
Max Walla of Schulenburg. Her
mother and one sister, Mrs.

death.
Mrs. Verunac is deeply mourn
ed by a large circle of relatives
and friends. The heritage she
leaves her loved ones, of a
noble, Christian) life, active and
useful to the last will be cher-
ished by them throughout life.
Her unselfish example will
ever be an ideal for them to
follow.
To those who are bereft by
her passing we offer sincere
and heartfelt sympathy.

A rainfall which amounted to
.82 in. last Thursday, was fol-
lowed by a high wind and fin-
ally a frost Saturday morning.
However only slight damage
has been reported to vegetation,
caused mostly by the high wind.
The damage to the tomato crop
was not heavy.
A few plants in scattered
lowlands were reported killed
and the leaves of some plants in
other areas were bitten, but
no general damage has been re-
ported from any of the tomato
belt.
The temperature did not
reach the freezing point and
some sections reported as high
as 37 degrees. The wind is re-
ported to have done more dam-
age than the frost, where the
plants were not protected by
wind breaks or were not plant-
ed in the furrows.

IN APPRECIATION
I wish to take this method of
reaching my many friends to
thank them for the flowers,
cards, visits and the interest
taken in my welfare during my
recent stay in the hospital at
Gonzales. May God’s blessings mending the
abide with you.
Mrs. William Beall.
The regular meeting of the
Business Men’s Club Thursday
night was characterized by all
in attendance, as one of the
most enjoyable and entertaining
of the year.
The meeting was held at the
High School with the boys and
girls of the Home Economics
Department serving a tempting
and most appetizing meal, the
delicious menu served was tur-
key, dressing, cranberry sauce,
string beans, creamed potatoes,
pear salad, hot rolls, butter,
iced tea or coffee, cake and ice
cream.
The menu and place cards
were most attractive being the
handiwork of the students.
Table runners of purple and
gold were given prominence
over the white linen cloths. The
floral arrangement was especial
ly appealing, reflecting the art-
istic skill of Mrs. C. J. Wald-
rep. Mrs. Forke, instructor in
Home Economics, is due much
praise and credit for the per-
fection of plans and the very
generous serving of the assemb-
lage of fifty-three participants.
As had been previously stat-
ed the banquet was given to
honor the basketball boys and
coach Corder.
A brief program was ren-
dered in the High School Aud-
itorium just previous to the
meeting. The choral club gave
several splendid selections, fol-
lowed by Elnita Korbel and
Aurelee Baca in story telling.
Dorothy Sembera closed with a
saxophone number.
The English room presented
a gala appearance, with the
ideal arrangements of table and
decorative effects. Candles lent
a soft glow to the scene. After
a brief business session, presid-
ed over by sSk’B president
James Buske, the meeting was—
turned over to Coach Corder,
who reviewed the achievements
of his team and each one in
turn spoke briefly, thanking the
Business Men’s Club for their
courtesy and appreciation of
their record. Supt. McDonald
closed the remarks by com-
basketball boys

every respect, always working
for the good of the community.
His interest in the farmers and
their problems has made him
many friends over the county
and they will be sorry to hear
he has moved.
We wish Mr. Strauss suc-
cess in his new venture.— New

propriate message.

oring them in such a signal
manner.
A highlight of the evening
was the presence of Dr. and
Mrs. H. A. Liebhafsky of Sche-
nectady, New York, who were
also included in the honor guest
list. Dr. Liebhafsky, upon the
invitation of Mr. Buske made
an interesting talk.
Throughout the serving, piano
accordion numbers were ren-
dered by Miss Caroline Valenta.
During the brief business ses-
sion, the membership stood in a
moment of silence, expressing
sympathy to Mr. E. J. Merrem
and to President Benno Hol-
chak in the passing of their bro-=
thers. The presiding officer
graciously thanked the enter-
tainment committee and Mrs.

pleasing session. Reluctantly ad
journment was voted.
