They were escorted by Johnnie
Kresta, Dennis Ermis and Steve
Roznovsky Jr., cousin of the

The bestman and groomsmen
wore dark blue tuxedoes with
yellow pom-pom boutonnieres.
Flower girls were Helen
Berckenhoff, niece of the bride,

the groom. They wore
blue tux with carnation
tonnieres.
The mother of the bride
a pink suit while the groom’s
mother chose a light brown

An all-day reception and

G. O. Little, President of La-
vaca County Farm Bureau is to
be commended on his efforts to
secure educational programs
for his farm bureau communi-
ties. Mr. Little has contacted
the County Extension Office
and made arrangements for
programs during February and
March.
During the month of Febru-
ary all Farm Bureau Communi-
ties will have the opportunity to
hear about the new Systemic
poisoning of cotton. Systemic
insecticides applied to the seed
before planting will control
thrips, aphids and spider mites
for three to eight weeks after
plants have emerged. Cotton
varieties will also be discussed
at these meetings.
Mr. Little has arranged for a
program dealing with Farm
Safety, and the 1956 Farm Out-
look for the March meetings.
Safety cannot be overlooked on
our farms. Farming ranks third
as the most hazardous occupa-
tion in the nation. The auto-
mobile has automatic trans-
missions, soon tractors will also
have them. They are now being
tried in limited numbers. Out-
standing advantages are (1)
wheel slippage greatly reduc-
ed, (2) automatic speed control
when turning; a very good
safety feature, and (3) auto-
matic governing of engine to
field requirements.

Mystery Spot On
Padre Island
Padre Beach, Texas — A few
sandy beach miles to the north
of this Tip of Texas playground
lies the remains of “Lost City,”
one of the mystery spots of
Padre Island.
No trace of it remains today
except in South Texas museums
and private collections. But it is
likely that more and more
links to the past will be uncov-
ered as more people roam this
booming island resort strip.
Lost City began as a ranch-
ing community founded by the
Singer family of Padre Island
fame before the Civil War.
Later its foundations gave rise
to another town which number-
ed some 70 to 80 inhabitants.
As recently as 1930—on a
site identified as the Lost City
location by Singer descendants
—old coins and heavy brass
handles resembling those used
on Viking swords in the 10th
century were found in the Padre
sands.

People just naturally go for 8 cylinders
in the FORD package!
And to a world record extent!
Just think, in the first 11 months of
1955 alone, 344,496 more people bought
Ford V-8’s than the two other low-
priced competitive eights combined!
Of course, the reason the Ford V-8 is
the largest selling eight-cylinder car in
the world is that more people like its
brand of performance—the kind that
comes with the car!
These people aren’t amateurs in
judging engines. Nearly 24 years of
building Ford V-8’s to supply their
demand is convincing proof of that.
And the Ford V-8 of today is the best
yet ... by a country mile!
Smoother and quieter—you can
scarcely hear it, even with the hood up!
Sassier—just ask the highway patrol
officer who drives one. He knows it
takes a Ford to catch a Ford!
And, for the very practical question
of durability—ask a Ford cab driver. He
knows how Fords take it days on end.
So, if it’s performance that you want
—and wrapped like a gift—the ’56
Ford V-8 is your baby.
Come in . . . try it today! f.c.a.

S. S. Beneficiaries
Under 72 Must File
If Over $1200 Earned
Social security beneficiaries
under age 72 during any part
of 1955, whose earnings from
active employment and/or self-
employment exceed $1,200 for
the taxable year, must file an
annual report with the Social
Security Administration ac-
cording to John D. Palmer, Dis-
trict Manager of the San An-
tonio Social Security Office.
These reports must be filed
within 2 months and 15 days
after the close of the taxable
year. That date is March 15,
1956, for those who file their
tax returns on a calendar year
basis. This should not be con-
fused with the income tax re-
turn deadline which is April
15th. Those who file their re-
turns on a fiscal year basis must
file their annual reports within
the 2% month period following
the end of their taxable year.
Annual Report forms will be
mailed to those beneficiaries
who told the Social Security
Administration that they ex-
pected to earn more than $1200
in 1955. Failure to receive a re-
port form does not relieve an
individual beneficiary of his
obligation to make a timely re-

Our sincere thanks for the
expressions of sympathy and
help we received in our great
sorrow when our beloved hus-
band, father, grandfather and
brother, Rudolph Siegel, pass-
ed away in his sleep at 5:30
a.m. Sunday, December 18, 1955
with last rites Tuesday, Decem-
ber 20. Our special thanks to
Father John Hanacek for ad-
ministering the sacraments
shortly before his death, for
officiating at the funeral, his
sermons and reciting the Ro-
sary Sunday and Monday nights
at the funeral home, to Father
Thomas Collins and Father Ed-
ward Jansky for assistance at
the Requiem Mass and services.
Our thanks to the Sisters and
others for their prayers and
singing; to all who brought
flowers or gave Mass offerings;
to pallbearers Joe, John and
Florian Siegel, Felix Marek,
George Valis and Steve Poklu-
da; to George Watzlavick and
Joe R. Mikesh for funeral ar-
rangements; to all who attend-
ed the funeral; to friends and
neighbors for preparing the
dinner and their other help; to

la, Anton Janik, Louis Dusek,
Charles Patek Jr., Bohumil and

night watch at the funeral
home; to Alf. Jalufka for his

ty Kutac and Mrs. Mary Netek,
Children; Mrs. Betty Valis, Mrs.
Agnes Patek and Jerome Sie-
gel, half-sisters and half-broth-
port if his earnings exceed the
$1200. The law provides penal-
ties for failure to file within the
time limit. Forms will be avail-
able at your Social Security
Administration District Office
early in 1956.
Mr. Palmer pointed out that
the 1954 Amendments to the
Social Security Act provide that
all earnings will be counted in
determining whether or not the
$1200 has been exceeded. This
includes earnings from exclud-
ed professions as well as earn-
ings from employment not cov-
ered by the Social Security Act.
Investment income such as ren-
tals and royalties is not includ-
ed as earnings except in the
rare instance where received
during the regular operation of
a real estate business. Interest
on money loaned is excluded
unless the person is in a loan
business. Please remember that
these rules apply for social se-
curity purposes only, not as a
guide for filing tax returns.
