Flag Day was established as
an annual national celebration
in 1916 by President Woodrow
Wilsoh. World Book Encyclo-
pedia points out that it is not
an official national holiday, but
the President proclaims a pub-
lic observance every year.

The U. S. is flag-maker to
the world. America’s skilled
flag makers manufacture the
flags of more than 150 coun-

The original “Old Glory” was
a world traveler, a refugee
from the Confederacy, and a
souvenir of the Smithsonian In- |
stitution.
A young sea captain named
William Driver introduced the
nickname in 1831, when he was
given command of the brig
“Charles Doggett.” A group of
citizens of Salem, Mass., pre-
sented him with a U. S. flag
and he hailed it as “Old Glo-
ry.”
Driver traveled twice around
the world with the flag, ac-
cording to World Book Ency-
clopedia.
When he retired in 1837, he
took the flag with him to Nash-
ville, Tenn., where the name
“Old Glory” spread.
During the Civil War the flag
was sewed inside a bed quilt
to hide it from Confederate
troops. When Union soldiers
took Nashville in 1862, Driver
brought out the flag and it was
raised over the state Capitol.
In 1922, “Old Glory” retired
to the Smithsonian Institution
in Washington, D. C.
Not even the President of the
U. S. can be saluted by dipping
the national flag. The U. S. flag
may be dipped in courtesy to
another nation, but, unlike
some other national flags, never
to an individual.
Some 30 young people gath-
ered in the High School Gym
Monday and participated in the
Summer Recreation Program
being sponsored by the Parent-
Teacher Association of the
Public School. It is hoped that
the boys and girls of Shiner will
take part in these activities
when they have a free morning
or afternoon. All games and
activities are supervised by the
directors, Miss Betsy Ross and
David Little. A variety of acti-
vities is offered so that there is
! something of interest to all ages.
All school age students are
eligible to participate in this
program. This includes young-
sters who will start to school
this Fall. Check the schedule
carried in the June 2nd issue of
The Gazette. During the after-
noon period, from 2:00 to 4:00
p.m., all age groups are invited

The “Stars and Stripes” was
adopted as the national flag of
the U. S. on June 14, 1777, by
a resolution of the Second Con-
tinental Congress.
But why red, white and blue?
World Book Encyclopedia
says the Founding Fathers may
have been influenced by the
flag of the British East India
Company, a group of merchants
organized for exploration and
trade. Their flag bore seven red
and six white stripes.
In 1782 the U. S. Department
of State explained the colors
this way: red stands for hardi-
ness and courage, white is a
symbol of purity and innocence,
and blue is the color of vigil-
ance, perserverance and jus-
tice.
According to legend, however,
George Washington gave us a
more dramatic explanation
when he reportedly said:
We take the stars and blue
uniom from Heaven, the red
from our mother country,
s e.p a r a t i n g it by white
stripes, thus showing we
have separated from her,
and the white stripes shall
go down to posterity repre-
senting liberty.
The headquarters of the
United Nations in New York,
where the UN flag is supreme,
is the only place within the U.
S., its territories or possessions
where a flag may be displayed
in a position of higher promin-
ence or honor than the U. S.
flag.
In S-CTAL Baseball
The Shiner Clippers moved
into undisputed 3rd place in
the S-CTAL standings by de-
feating the Bernardo Hurricanes
to the tune of 8-2, Sunday, June
5 at Shiner.
Carroll Sembera, youthful
Clipper pitcher, doled out only
6 hits to the visitors while he
struck out seventeen. So far in
the season Sembera has fanned
56 batters in 5 games.
The Clippers jumped on Ber-
nardo starter Ray Dungan for
4 runs in the bottom of the first
inning to go ahead 4-2, added
2 in the second and 2 more in

Cosmic Ray |
Balloon Goes
Over Shiner |
Shiner area residents were
treated to a rare sight Tuesday
afternoon at about 4:30 p. m.
The gigantic Navy ballon which
was launced Sunday at the Na-
val Air Station near Brunswick,
Ga. was sighted in the north
east skies and was clearly vis-
ible until sundown and after
until about 8 p. m. at that time
it was in the western skyline.
The worlds largest balloon,
500-ft. tall, or about as tall as
a 40-story building, carrying
valuable cosmic ray equipment
was supposed to drop its scien-
tific equipment near Columbus,
but the trigger mechanism fail-
ed to work and the balloon con-
tinued on its way to Austin
and San Antonio.
Wednesday morning the bal-
loon was in north Texas and
when it will decend was not
known.

Representatives At
Bluebonnet Girls
State Sessions
Attending Bluebonnet Girls
State Session at the School for
the Blind in Austin, June 8 to
17 from Shiner are Misses Ear-
line Pavlicek and Margaret
Sofka. Named as alternate is
Miss Rosalie Barcak.
Object of the Girls State is
to encourage good citizenship
and to study government. Girls
are sponsored by the American
Legion Auxiliary but are select-
ed by the High School Prin-
cipal, faculty or student body.
The girls selected must be from
the Junior Class, must have a
good scholastic record and must
take part in school activities
such as various organizations
and athletics. Upon their return
they are requested to report to
the American Legion Auxiliary
and to give helpful suggestions
to their high school classes.
* * *
The purposes and objectives
are the same, but the faces were
new, when the American Legion
Auxiliary Bluebonnet Girls
State opened its 1960 season
June 8, at the School for the
Blind, in Austin.
Four hundred new and eager
faces, looked for guidance to
find a simple, straightforward
approach to a democratic way
of life — and educational
strength to face the emergen-
cies of our changing times.
What a privilege it is to be a
small working part of that ses-
sion. What a privilege for four
hundred young Americans to
learn the duties and rights of
American Citizenship, and to
make the new and lasting
friendship which is the basis of
good government.
May we be able to give them
the guidance and inspiration,
and instill in them faith in our
Democracy that the forces they
set free may enrich the world.

Last Rites For
E. Zimmermann

shocked Tuesday, May 31, 1960
when it became known that

which he retired about a year '
ago. Although continuing rath- '
er active, he had not been in
good health during the last few
years, suffering meanwhile
from an asthmatic and heart
condition. Due to this ailment
he occasionally needed particul-
ar medical attention, such as he
had received over the weekend
prior to his death when he spent
some twenty-four hours in the
hospital.
He had been feeling quite
well all day Tuesday, however,
in the evening, when for a brief
period he was by himself in the
I room watching television, he
was stricken by a sudden and
immediately fatal attack. Death
had already taken place by the
time the family realized what
had happened.
Emil Rudolph Zimmermann

ner, son of Christian and Doro-
thea (Koether) Zimmermann.
His entire life was spent as a

tism in early childhood. He was
| a member of the United Dr.
I Martin Luthev Church of Shi-
ner.
He was married to Miss Frie-
da Brunkenhoefer October 22,
1914, the late Rev. W. C. Wolfs-
dorf officiating.

Mrs. Winkenwerder, is the only
child of the deceased. Other
survivors include his son-in-
law, William Winkenwerder;
three granddaughters, Ange-
line, Judith and Mildred Win-
kenwerder, all of Shiner; two
brothers, Willie Zimmermann
of Shiner, Henry Zimmermann
of San Antonio; three sisters,
, Mrs. Christian (Alma) Tuch of
t New Braunfels, Mrs. Fritz (An-
nie) Tieken of Floresville, Mrs.
Ernest (Lena) Thiede of Cost.
i Preceding him in death were
‘ his wife, who passed away Au-
gust 16, 1959; two brothers, Ot-
. I to, died February 25, 1941, and
Christian died in March 1900
at the age of 14 months; three
sisters, Mrs. George (Augusta)

1957, Mrs. Rudy (Anna Louise)
Dreyer, who died April 18,
1951, Mrs. John (Mary) Muel-
ker and his parents also pre-
ceded him in death. The mo-
ther died October 8, 1932 and
the father died January 14,
1902.
The body reposed in state at
the Buffington Funeral Home,
Shiner, until 2:00 p.m. Thurs-
day, June 2 when it was con-
veyed to the United Dr. Martin
Luther Church where impres-
sive last rites were held at 3:00
p.m. with the Rev. Edwin J.
Oehlke officiated.
The Lutheran choir rendered
the following hymns during the
services: “Rock of Ages,” “What
IA Friend We Have In Jesus”
and “Abide With Me.”

ner City Cemetery with the fol-
lowing serving as casket at-
tendants: Otto Zimmermann Jr.
of Sugarland, Edwin Zimmer-
mann, Willie and Herbert Hoe-
rig, all of Shiner, Johnnie Tie-

Idolph A. Lichey
Rites Wednesday
Funeral services for Adolph
A. Lichey were held at the Buf-
fington Funeral Home, Shiner,
Wednesday, June 8, 1960 at
3:00 p.m. with the Rev. Edwin J
J. Oehlke officiating. J
The Lutheran choir rendered
the following sacred hymns: .
“Come, Ye Disconsolate,” “I i
Need Thee, Precious Jesus” and :
“Jesus, Still Lead On.”
Interment took place in the '
family burial plot in the Shiner i
City Cemetery. Casket attend-
ants were Hugo Pohler, Edwin ;
Stluka, Frank Steiner, John ;
Syamken, Frankie Bannert and
Rud. Billimek.
His pastor read the following
obituary:
“Adolph August Lichey was
born August 19, 1909, at Shi-
ner, as the son of Adolph Lichey
Sr. and Pauline (Gerstenber-
ger) Lichey. As a child he was
baptized by the late Rev. Wm.
Dziewas. He was confirmed by
the Rev. J. C. A. Pfenninger,
August 2, 1925, thus becoming
a communicant member of the
Lutheran Church.
“On December 22, 1931, he
was married to Miss Louise
Tracalek. Following their mar-
riage Mr; and Mrs. Lichey lived
about one mile north of town,
residing there for eleven years.
In 1942 they moved into town
and lived continuously in the
same home for the past eighteen
years.
“One son, Alan, was born as
the only child of Mr. and Mrs.
Lichey. Survivors are his devot-
ed and now sadly bereaved
wife and his son, Alan, who,
employed in Yoakum, has,
however, continued to make his
home with his parents- in Shi-
ner. Other survivors are two
brothers and three sisters,
namely, Oscar Lichey of Shiner,
Edwin Lichey of San Antonio,
Mrs. Henry (Elsie) Rogge of
Amarillo, Mrs.-Stanislav (Cora)
Vincik of Le Compe, La., and
Mrs. Curt (Hilda) Messer of
Shiner.
“Preceding him in death were
his parents, the father having
died on March 20, 1942, and tne
mother on December 1, 1959.
“For most of his adult life
the deceased has been employ-
ed at the Shiner Brewery, hav-
ing previously worked for his
father in the operation of the
Shiner Oil Mill.
“The deceased has been in
generally good health until the
past year—during which time
there has been evidence of a
rather declining physical con-
dition. During early spring he
spent several weeks in the local
Dr. Wagner Hospital. More re-
cently he was readmitted and
spent another brief period as a
patient in the local hospital.
Since last December he has not
been able to do any work.
“Mr. Lichey has been in a
despondent state of mind due
to his health. Only the Lord,
our all-knowing and merciful
God, knows whether or not the
deceased was mentally and
morally responsible for the deed
by means of which he termin-
ated his own life. Death occur-
red at about 7:00 a.m. on Mon-
day, June 6, 1960. He attained
the age of 50 years, 9 months
and 17 days.
“Mr. Lichey held member-
ship in United Dr. Martin
J Luther Church for some thirty-
five years.
“Our heart-felt sympathy is
- herewith conveyed to you, the
grief-stricken wife. Your Chris-
tian fortitude and generally
cheerful disposition, despite a
variety of adversities, is admir-
ed by your many understand-
ing and sympathetic friends as
well as your own family rela-
tionship. For the faithful
Christian, such a cross of trial
and affliction as you have been
called upon to bear, will only
last for a comparatively short
while and will then be exchang-
ed for a glorious crown of eter-
nal joy and blessedness. ‘Be
thou faithful unto death, and I
will give thee a crown of life.’ ”

evening is scheduled for Friday,
June 17 at United Dr. Martin
Luther Church. Besides offer-
ing a fine opportunity to enjoy
an hour or two with friends in
refreshing fellowship—you will
find the choice menu of home-
cooked food, to be served by
the ladies of the congregation,
a real treat.
Serving will begin at 7:00
p.m. Perhaps you will find it
convenient to be served at this
time and still make some other
appointment later in the eve-
ning. There will be no problem
involved in case you find it con-
venient to arrive an hour or so
later than the starting time.
Come if you possibly can.
Friends of the community as
well as members of the congre-
gation are cordially invited. A
hearty welcome to you, one and
all!

A -devoted wife and mother
has passed on leaving a vacan-
cy in the family circle that can
never be filled. She was of
great service to her community
and the esteem in which she
was held was evidenced in the
myriad array of flowers and the
large assemblage that came to
pay their last homage of re-
spect. She left a wide circle of
friends throughout this section
who deeply regret her depart-
ure and mourn with her loved
ones. Our sympathy to all in
their (sorrow.
