gladiolas and carnations, given
by the members of the confir-
mation class. The confirmation
day church bulletin, especially
designed for the occasion, was
also provided by the class of
confirmands.
On Easter Day it will be the
privilege of these newly con-
firmed and communicant mem-
bers of the congregation to re-
ceive their first communion.
Their status as confirmed mem-
bers also confers the privilege
of voice and vote at business
meetings of the congregation
and qualifies them to serve as
baptismal sponsors.
With the Luther League
serving as host, the Palm Sun-
day confirmands will be honor
guests at a league social Thurs-
day, April 26 at 7:00 p.m. in
the social hall at church. It is
sincerely felt that this fellow-
ship affair will be a truly en-
joyable one. The confirmand’s
parents and other members of
the respective families are also
invited to be the guests of the
Luther League for the indicated
social affair on April 26.
To see Boysen’s connections, large corpora-
tion lobbyists have been writing letters to
leading citizens asking them to support him
on his previous record. If elected your repre-
sentative, I will work for an effective lobby
control law. I will not look up into the balcony
for a signal from some lobbyist before voting.
I will vote for the people of this district. I will
not go to Austin to go to school. I will go to
work for you and will be in the committee
meetings studying the needs of this district.
I will be a voting representative.

MUNICIPAL INFORMATION
153 Navarro St., San Antonio 5, Texas
Palm Sunday, April
marked an occasion of special
importance at United Dr. Mar-
tin Luther Church, when, in
connection with a largely at-
tended service, a group of thir-
teen young people (eight girls
and five boys) were received
into communicant membership
of the congregation through the
Rite of Confirmation.
Those so welcomed, after
some ten months of weekly
class instruction attendance,
are: Glenda Mae Barre, Dianna
Faye Hoerig, Mary Lou Koen-
ning, Allen Ray Maeker, Ange-
line Noack, Hal Ray Reichardt,
Earline Hope Renken, Loretta
Marie Schelling, Melton Paul
Voelkel, Eugene Henry Walleck,
Dalton Winkenwerder, Deloris
Gay Wuensch and Carol Lynn
Zimmermann.
Arrangements of flowers, add-
ing a decorative appearance to
the church on the significant
occasion, consisted of pink
WORKERS:
Boysen voted against a 50c per hour mini-
mum wage for Texas Public Workers.
THE PEOPLE IN GENERAL
Boysen voted against the people of District
47 when he voted against safety programs,
unemployment compensation, State employ-
ees, abandoned property and against Texas
matching available funds to the needy aged,
blind, and dependent children. He voted
against college students when he voted to dou-
ble their tuition. He voted against an effec-
tive lobby control law.
SMALL BUSINESS MAN
Boysen voted part time for sales tax, part
time against and was present and not voting
part time. This sales tax is the worst law ever
forced on the people of Texas. Let s encour-
age people to come to Texas instead of dis-
couraging them with nuisance taxes which
decrease sales and make tax collectors of our
store owners. If elected your State Represen-
tative I will work to revise or abolish the
present sales tax.
