ST. LUDMILA’S ECHOES
THE GRADES
The primer, first, and second
grades have twenty-four pupils.
There are more boys than girls
in these grades. Three boys are
named Marvin; two boys, John-
ny and two girls are named
Georgia Mae.
The primers are reading the
“Run Run Story” which they
are enjoying very much.
The first grade pupils are
very glad that the dog did not
get Bunny Rabbit. The second
grade boys and girls are sorry
that “Honey Bear” did not get
to fly to the moon.
The students are also work-
ing on an Indian project. They
like Indian stories, but they re-
gret that the Indians killed
Saint Isaac Joques.
All of the little children are
happy, for they like their tea-
cher, Sister Sidonia.
LOST MORE THAN $250,000.

In the later part of June, 1940
President Roosevelt created a
new class of Naval Reserves
known as V-7’s. From the ranks
of V-7 are to come some of
the future officers of the United
States Navy, consequently, the
standard for admittance is high.
A V-7 reservist must be be-
tween the age of 19 and 26, be
unmarried, have completed at
least two years of college, be a
native born citizen of the Unit-
ed States, and pass a rigid phy-
sical examination. If the V-7
successfully completed a
month’s cruise aboard an
American battleship and a three
month’s course of intensive
training ashore, he will be
commissioned an ensign in the
naval reserve and be subject to
call to active duty in any time
of national emergency. Special
schools for the training ashore
have been established at New
York City, at Northwestern Uni
versity, Evanston, Illinois, and
at the U. S. Naval Academy, An
Mrs. O. C, Dittmar return-
ed from a visit to Houston Sat-
urday. She was accompanied on
her return by Mr. and Mrs. H.
A. Dittmar.
See The Mortal Storm and be
glad and thankful that you live
in these United States. Palace
Theatre, Sunday and Monday.
The local Lone Star Or-
chestra furnished music for a
dance at Floresville on Satur-
day, September 28 and had a
good attendance.
Mr. and Mrs. Arno Wagener
and Mrs. Cecile Plagemann
were San Antonio visitors, Wed
nesday.
The third grade is not a very
large grade, but they are able
to hold their own on the play
ground. Their day is well plan-
ned, and they are frying to do
good work. Carlos Dean Wenske
is the champion speller and
promised his teacher, Sister
Margaret that he will work
hard to keep the title.
The fourth grade students are
quite interested in the diction-
ary. They are studying about
the different kinds of soils, and
they make many trips to the
dictionary for information and
pronunciation.
In the fifth grade the pupils
are drawing maps. They are
studying about the continents.
Next week they will begin to
work in their Geography Work-
books, and they are looking for-
ward to many interesting per-
iods.
Both grades are enjoying
their singing period; they are
learning many new hymns and
songs, and are trying their very
best to please Sister Vivian.
The Jolly Juniors met in the
sixth and seventh grade school
room at the beginning of the
school session. A very interest-
ing meeting was held. The
members decided to ransom
pagan babies by saving their
pennies to give to the mission-
aries. They have chosen two
priests to whom they will send
their money. They are Father
Chin and Father Kolek, O. S. B.
Besides saving their money,
they will offer various prayers
to help these priests in their
good work.
King Cotton, Texas’ major
crop is the project one of the
best. In the near future an ex-
hibit will be held. They are
working under the supervision
of their teacher, Sister Adol-
phine.
To date eighty-eight boys
from Houston and vicinity
napolis, Maryland.
. have successfully passed and
| have taken advantage of this
opportunity to obtain a commis
sion in the U. S. Naval Reserve.
Applications are now being
taken at the U. S. Naval Re-
serve Armory, Room 327 M &
M Building, Houston, Texas, for
the fifth and final cruise this
year, which departs New York
City on 25 November 1940.

These four announcers- are fea-
tured on the Humble Oil & Re-
fining Company’s radio descrip-
tions of Southwest Conference
Football games; literally they fill
the air with the air-minded foot-
ill of the Southwest each Sat-
f|||||§||
urday afternoon. At left is Kern
Tips, one of the outstanding foot-
ball announcers of the country.
Next to him is Eddie Dunn, Texas
radio personality who recently
moved to Chicago, but plans to
travel southward to handle sev-
eral of the Humble broad-
casts. At right is Cy
Leland, who followed up a
brilliant career as a player
at T. C. U. with a career
fully as brilliant as a foot-
ball announcer; like Kern
Tips, Cy is a veteran of
the Humble broadcasts.
Center, outline, is Hal Thompson,
the well-known sports announcer
of Dallas. These four announcers
will he supplemented and assisted
on the Humble Company broad-
casts by other well-known Texas
radio men.
Of our beloved grandfather
Mr. John Kloesel Sr., who
passed away on October 6,
1939.
Just a year or so since you left
us dear grandfather.
There is no other one but you
„ Dear grandfather
1 No one can take your place
For you were so kind to all
No matter where you were:
In the lonely grave yard, not so
far away
Lies my dear grandfather.
Beneath the cold, cold earth.
We shall never forget you
There is not a day that we do
not think of you dear grand-
father
Just a smile a love for you.
No more shall we see your face
No more shall we hear your
voice.
Dear grandfather may your rest
be sweet
For in heaven again we shall
\ meet.
We know you hated to leave us
Dear grandfather
But the Angels loved you more
And caused us to part.
Oh how hard it was to leave
your grave.
With all the flowers we placed
upon your cold grave
May wither and decay,
What would we give to clasp
his hand
To see his happy face again.
May your soul rest in peace.
Written by your granddaugh-
ter, Aminda Stock.
A statement in the Septem-
ber 10 issue of the New Era-
Herald said the farmers could
have earned this amount. Yes,
if the ruling of the A. A. A.
would let them, they would cut
all the benefits down so low
and penalties so high that the
farmer can hardly comply with
the program anymore.
I will just illustrate my case.
I have been complying with the
program from its beginning and
at this time my benefits or
checks are so small in fact,
one half of what they were in
the beginning, they dwindled
down to almost nothing. They
cut the per acre production so,
that the farmer would not get
as much parity money. They
penalize them plenty high for
overplanting a few acres of
grain even if they had more
acres in soilbuilding crops than
the acres overplanted.
In 1939 I took a piece of my
Government land as we may
call it. 6 acres I planted in cow-
peas. When they began to get
ripe pods, I plowed them into
the ground. After a rain they
came up again. I plowed them
in again. After another rain the
6 acres were covered with grass
and weeds, and was plowed in
again. So you see, I had a
whole lot more work with those
6 acres than I had with any
other 6 acres of my depleting
crops.
Had I not used a tractor,
could not even have done it,
but I had 4 acres of grain over-
planted for which they penal-
ized me $28. or $30.00.
What inducement has the pro
gram for the people to under
take soil building?
That is just the reason the
land is laying idle or in cockle-
burrs and bermuda grass in-
stead in soil-building practice.
Instead of inducing the peo-
ple to build soil they turn right
around and penalize them on
something else and cut bene-
fits where possible.
They also reduced the par-
ity payment to $1.55 per lb. on
the already reduced acre pro-
duction. So, if they keep on
getting the program more com-
plicated, change it every year
so that most people can not
understand how it works, and
employ more administrators, to
consume the money which was
really intended to go to the
farmers, and the farmers re-
ceive so little . of it, to
freeze them out of the pro-
gram, I tell you it is really time
for the taxpayers to repeal the
agricultural adjustment act.
When Congress passed the A.
A. A. it was surely not intend-
ed to be operated the way it is
being done.
Another thing, the program
is really the cause of renters
losing their places, because they
prescribe 3-4 of the benefits to
the renters and leave the tax
and repairs to the owner. If he
wants to hold to his land he
has to work it himself, which
happens every year.
Another way lor the land
owner would be, to get tax
delinquent, draw all he can out
of it, and let it go.
I always thought the pro-
gram would finally adjust it-
self to the benefit of the farm-
ers, but it looks like it is ad-
justing the wrong way.
Also our allotments are far
from being fair, comparing the
big farmer with the small one,
who has to support his family
from his little place. Really the
big farmer is the cause of sur-
plus cotton, the small one has
always diversified where many
large scale farmers planted on-
ly cotton, therefore get the
large allotment now, another
wrong ruling.
Hoping to see the time where
the A. A. A. is going to be a
benefit to agriculture, or be
repealed by the taxpayers.
There are other instances,
where people earned and did
not get the pay. We know of
several eases in Lavaca County
where landowners had several
places, all complied with the
program except one renter, and
they did not get any conserva-
tion money on ' those places
where they complied, that is
where a lot of that money slip-
ped by their fingers.
