Shiner, Lavaca County, Texas, Thursday Morning, March 18, 1937
Number 11
High School P.-T. A
At a regular meeting of the
P.-T. A., Mrs. A. L. Valek pre-
sided. Various business matters
required discussion, among which
were plans for the county meet.
A bill of $4.60 was ordered paid
for see-saws on the school cam-
pus. It was decided to have fifty
library books rebound. The treas-
urer reported a collection of $5.35
for dues. Members are urged to
pay their dues to Miss Brandes,
the secretary, without further
delay. It works a hardship on
officers to collect dues personally
by calling at homes, therefore an
urgent response is requested.—-

Shiner was officially as well as
most creditably represented Sun-
day by Mayor Richter, who re-
ceived a special invitation to be
a guest at Palmetto State Park ’
of the C. C. Camp in a dinner
tendered Gov. Allred, Lieut. Gov.
Woodul and their party of of-
ficials from Austin. Following
the luncheon, a $10,000 monu-
ment was dedicated, honoring
the first shot of the Texas Re-
volution 101 years ago.
Fully 2000 people stood in a
drizzling rain to witness the
dedication. Mayor Richter com-
plimented the superb address of
the Governor as well as the ac-
ceptance speech of Lieut. Gov.
Woodul. Senator R. A. Weinertl
was master of ceremonies. Mayor
Richter also accompanied the
State officials on their visit to
the site of the proposed new
Warm Springs Center for crippl-
ed children.
