was not released until
due, of course, to World
II.
Miss Raab expressed her ap-
preciation for the gifts and to
the hostesses for the shower.
She extended an invitation to
all to attend the wedding
Mass at the Sacred Heart Cath-
olic Church in Flatonia on
April 29.
Everyone viewed the gifts
which were displayed on tables
laid with white linen. The hos-
tesses’ gift to the honoree was
a seven-piece dinette set.
The refreshment table, laid
with white damask, held the
rectangular white frosted con-
fection edged with a bridal-
white ripple of elevated frost-
ing, set in ruffled doily lace. In
opposite corners of the cake
were sugar-spun arrangements
of yellow flowers and green
leaves with a sugar-sphn chry-
santhemum in a ligher shade of
yellow predominant in one cor-
ner.
Sprigs of bridal wreath set off
the floral decor which was cen-
tered with two styrafoam wed-
ding bells edged with a silver
beaded border and filled with
wisps of ruffled net. Two sugar-
sptm doves were also featured
in the decorations of the show-
er cake, with the names “Iris
and Curtis” inscribed in yel-
low. On either side of the cake
were tall white candles in cry-
stal holders which cast a soft
light over the table. Yellow
napkins with “Iris and Curtis”
in gold also carried out the
bride’s wedding color which is
yellow.
After Iris cut the shower
cake, the guests were served
refreshments of the cake, ham

step last week when the Army
Chief of Engineers forwarded
to the Governor the plan for

too long before this project is
ready for me to present to the

tion and then for funds.
It will be a happy day for
me when the folks of the Bra-

ricane such as Carla.
Dear Neighbors:
A distinguished visitor from
the 9th District came to see me
last week—James Morris, Pres-
ident of the Fqture Farmers of
America for the State of Tex-
as. The young man from Ana-
huac was in Washington to take
part in a round-table discus-
sion of youth problems. He told
me it was a follow-up to the
White House Conference on
Children and Youth with young
and adult representatives from
all over the country in attend-
ance.
It was some weeks ago when
I first learned that Jim was
coming to the Nation’s Capital.
I wrote him and asked that he
come by and visit with me. I
told him then that I had some-
thing I wanted to give him
which represented a ceremony
of great importance to the rice
industry. What I had for Jim
was the pen President Kennedy
used when he signed into law
my rice succession of interest
bill. I was at the White House
when the ceremony occurred
and the moment the President
put the pen in my hand I re-
membered that our District was
the home of our State’s top FFA
officer. I could think of no one
better to give the pen to than
this fine young man from
Chambers County.
I presented Jim with the pen
and afterwards had him as my
guest at a luncheon that is held
every week, by the Texas De-
legation in Congress. Jim met
and broke bread with practical-
ly every member of the Dele-
gation and, one past member
but one that we still call our
own, Vice President Lyndon B.
Johnson.
So, in the space of a few
hours, Jim received a pen from
the President
States and had
Vice President
dining room of
the House of Representatives—
the three highest offices of our
country.
Electric Cooperative, Inc.
came in the President’s an-
nouncement that our Army
Guard and Reserve units and
individuals called to active duty
last year will begin coming
home August 1st.
The call-up hurt, and in some
particular cases, it created ex-
treme hardships. Mrs. Thomp-
son and I know from our own
personal experience the sacri-
fices that have been made. I was
ordered back to active duty
with
and
1946
War
There have been a great many
pros and cons about the decision
to call certain reserve forces to
active duty. I am glad to say
that most of the reports that
have reached me indicate that
those affected took it in stride
and made the best of a situation
that nobody wanted but many
had to accept. We must keep in
mind that when our reserves
were called up a war cloud was
hanging over the world. The
Soviet dictator, Khrushchev, had
given us an ultimatum which,
for all practical purposes, serv-
ed notice on us to meet his to-
tally unacceptable terms on
Berlin or else pack up and get
out. To make matters worse he
set a specific time limit on his
sword-rattling threat. Our Pres-
ident reacted by meeting this
challenge with the one thing
the communists world respects
—a show of strength greater
than their own. It is satisfying
to note that since our military
build-up of last year the time
limit set by Khrushchev has
long since passed and there is
now relative calm in Berlin.
IN MEMORIAM
In loving memory of Bill
Siegel, Jr., son and brother, who
passed away April 24, 1957.
Do not ask us if we miss him,
For there is such a vacant place;
Often we think we hear his foot-
steps
Or see his smiling face.
For he left us broken-hearted
Friends may think the wound
is healed,
For they little know the sorrow
That is in our hearts concealed.
The flowers we place on your
grave
Will wither and decay,
But love for you who
beneath,
Will never fade away.
Bill Siegel, Sr.,
and Family

sembled at the Moulton VFW
Hall Sunday afternoon, April

As the bride-to-be arrived

and the groom-to-be’s mother,
Mrs. Jerry B. Havel, they were
accompanied to their seats of
honor by little Karen Billimek
of Hallettsville and Quinton Joe
Raab Jr. of San Antonio. Miss
Raab, lovely in a pastel blue
one-piece dacron frock, was

low chrysanthemums. The mo-
thers were also presented with

sages.

BAPTISM

Technik of Gonzales, received

Peter Roebrocks officiating.

The Peach Creek Philosopher
on his Johnson grass farm on
Rt. 3, Shiner has found out
about the increase in the price
of steel, his letter this week in-
dicates.
Dear editar:
As I understand it, a lot of peo-
ple, including the President,
have gotten
mad because
the steel indus-
try raised the
price of steel,
but I had man-
aged to control
my temper un-
til I read all the
reasons why the
price increase was called infla-
tionary and therefore bad for
the rest of the country.
According to the experts, you
raise the price of steel and
automatically you’ve raised the
price of cars, homes, refrige-
rators, freezers, vacuum clean-
ers, tractors, plows, wrenches,
nuts and bolts, etc.
But, and here’s what made
me mad, nowhere in the list
did you read that raising the
price of steel would raise the
price of farm products.
I checked all the lists, from
all the Congressmen eager to
be quoted, from all the econo-
mic experts, and not a one was
worried about the possibility of
cotton or corn or potatoes or
fruits or vegetables or chickens
or eggs or milk or beef or pork
or anything else grown on a
farm going up.
This is what burns me up.
How come farmers ain’t signed
up with the economic index the
same as steel and labor and
nearly everybody else, outside
of school teachers and preach-
ers? How come we can’t get in
on these inflationary spirals?
The truth of the matter is,
everybody takes farmers for
granted so much that if we all
announced that starting next
Monday morning the price of
all agricultural products would
be increased 10 per cent on ac-
count of the increased costs of
production, you think anybody
would get on television and de-
nounce us? Everybody would
just bust out laughing.
We not only couldn’t get any-
body to denounce us, we
couldn’t get anybody to pay any
attention to our price rise, peo-
ple would just keep on paying
the same old price, or possibly
a little less.
Washington has nothing to
worry about when it comes to
us farmers doing anything in-
flationary. You’re not going to
catch us rocking the economic
boat. We’re too busy bailing
water for that.
Yours faithfully,
J. A.
