initiation of two new Cubs.
Roll call was followed by Buck-
skin report. Leather was dis-
tributed for making small ar-
ticles. The Promise and Law
closed the meeting.
—Thomas C. See
Mr. and Mrs. Pete Ermis re-
ceived a letter and news clipp-
ing from their granddaughter,
Mrs. T. W. Vinson of Avenal,
California, telling of the earth-
quake tremors felt in Kettle-
man Hills Area Aug. 29.
No material damage resulted.
In a few homes tea-cups crash-
ed to the floor, tools thudded
from nails on the walls of gar-
ages, door chimes tinkled as if
a ghost were ringing the door
bell.
It differed from other earth-
quake shocks in that it was a
jolt instead of a gentle swaying
tremor. It was hoped no major
shock would be experienced.
The Scouting program was morning ana openea
put up-to-date for Troop 2321 the Promise, Law and a
of Sts. Cyril and Methodius’ j Yell.
Parish at a recent meeting of
the Scout Committee.
The Troop, which is now un-
der the sponsorship of the
Knights of Columbus instead of
St. Ludmila’s Academy, will
operate under the new Scout
set-up including the Explorer
unit along with the Cub Scouts
and the Boy Scouts. Father
Wagner was elected Explorer
Advisor; O. A. Kosler, Scout
Master for the past two years,
was elected to be Scout Rep-
resentative to represent the
Troop Sponsor, the Knights of
Columbus, at the County Scout
Meetings. Dr. F. M. Wagner
will again be Committee Chair-
man with the Rev. John Hana-
cek, Chaplain.
The annual meeting of the
Shiner Garden Club was held
Friday afternoon at the City
Hall with Mrs. A. L. Valek,
president, in the chair.
The repj^rt of the treasurer
showed a balance of $58.04. Two
donations were made during the
past year, one for the Warm
Springs Foundation at Gonza-
les, the other to the D. D. T.
Spraying fund at Shiner. The
treasurer was instructed to for-
ward another donation of $10
to the Warm Springs Found-
ation.
Mesdames Theo. Juraschek and
Rudie Valenta were added to
the membership roll.
Mrs. Alois Kasper was given
a rising vote of thanks for her
services as purchasing agent.
Anemones and ranunculous
orders were booked and all de-
siring same will please call in
their orders before Sept. 24, to
telephone number 33.
Mrs. Ernest Hajek and Mrs.
F. M. Wagner volunteered to
remember the founder’s, the
late Mrs. C. J. Waldrep’s an-
niversary with a floral tribute.
Mrs. Waldrep was the inspira-
tion not only of the organiza-
tion of the Garden Club but of
civic improvements in the city,
that today speak so eloquently
of her love of the beauty and
artistic in nature.
Effective September 1, 1949,
the Navy discontinued three
year enlistment periods and
reverted to its normal peace-
time program of recruiting en-
listed personnel for periods of
either four or six years at the
option of the individual.
The three-year enlistment,
along with a previously aband-
oned two-year enlistment pro-
gram, was put into effect im-
mediately after World War II
under an accelerated Navy re-
cruiting program. Both were
found to result in a too rapid
turnover of enlisted personnel
for efficiency and stability.
Present regulations permit-
ting 17-year* olds to enlist for
a term of minority,1 whereby
they serve until their twenty-
first birthday, will be continu-
ed.
