A cherished friend out Tulsa way suggests I write a poem
To honor all our Fathers, but, alas! I do not know ’em.
“My Father” is the only one who roams my memory’s town,
And inculcates my being with the force of his renown.
My Father was a stern man who, in his forceful voice,
Issued all his orders, and we knew there was no choice.
And so, for me, the last of all the ones my Father sired,
He lives in mind, and I react, the way my Dad desired.

"MY FATHER"
LONGER DEER
SEASON OPPOSED
BY SPORTSMEN
Lavaca County sportsmen
were in opposition to a longer
deer season as proposed by the
Texas Parks and Wildlife Com-
mission at the hearing Tuesday
night, June 9 on game regula-
tions.
Under the proposal, deer sea-
son would open this year two
days earlier, November 14,
which is on Saturday, instead of
November 16 as has been in the
custom.
Game officals for the hear-
ing explained that the two days
earlier opening of the season
would permit a larger harvest
of deer and give sportsmen
who have to work during the
week an opportunity to be in
the woods on opening day.
Strong opposition to the pro-
posal was expressed by many of
those present, who contended
that the deer season was too
long now. “Too much pressure
is on our bucks right now with-
out placing additional pressure
on them,” said John R. Fenner,
president of the Lavaca-Colora-
do-Wharton Game Association.
Fenner said there was no
doubt what the doe population
in some areas was out of line,
but that he felt the solution to
the problem was not in killing
antlerless deer. He said it might
be well to set the deer limit at
one buck and one doe deer, and
close the season on spike buck
deer as was the law before
opening the antlerless season.
C. Y. Jacobs, large land own-
er of Hope, said he favored the
earlier season as well as the
antlerless season. Jacobs said he
had more deer on his land now
than ever before, and after last
year’s hunt, no antlerless deer
were found dead in the pastures
as had been the case in years
past.
Several land owners told how
they had protected and manag-
ed their deer in the past, but
said the deer are now taking
over their land. They were of
the opinion that doe deer would
have to be taken to bring their
population in line with the
bucks available.
Warden D. L. Brown of the
game management staff from
Victoria said not as many deer
were harvested last year as had

DENNIS D. MUELKER
Austin—The American Le-
gion Boys State commenced
June 4 as 718 high school boys
from throughout the state be-
gan registration, Attorney Gen-
eral Waggoner Carr, chairman
of the youth program, has an-
nounced.
Among those registering from
SHINER was Dennis D. Muel-
ker who was sponsored by local
American Legion Post.
Upon arrival at the Univer-
sity of Texas Campus, each
citizen was assigned to one of
two political parties—the Long-
horn or Pioneer. Each citizen
then functions as a member of
his party; he attends its con-
ventions, caucuses and votes in
its primary.
In Boys State, The American
Legion provides the type of
program where the young
citizen has the opportunity to
learn for himself that his gov-
ernment is just what he makes
it. The boy “learns to do by
doing.”
Highlight of Boys State will
be a trip to the Capitol on Wed-
nesday morning where each
elected Boys State Official will
be given an opportunity to
serve in his respective office for
a day, followed by the Gover-
nor’s Ball Wednesday evening.
Outstanding speakers sched-
uled to appear are Department
Commander John E. McKelvey,
Electra; Dr. Harry Ransom,
Chancellor, The University of
Texas; Zollie Steakley, Assoc-
iate Justice, Supreme Court of
Texas; American Legion Aux-
iliary President, Mrs. Harold J.
Cooper, Beaumont; National
Vice Commander of The Amer-
ican Legion, Harry Wright,
Mexico City; Robert W. Calvert,
Chief Justice, Supreme Court of
Texas; and Dave Shanks, Aus-
tin American Statesman.
Boys State enrollment this
year brings the total to 10,406
junior high school boys who
have attended since 1940, when
Boys State was first inaugu-
rated in Texas.
Dennis was accompanied to
Austin Thursday, June 4 by his
mother and brother, Mrs. Den-
ver Muelker and James, and
grandparents, Mr. and Mrs.
Otto Muelker of Gonzales. Mr.
and Mrs. Denver Muelker and
children made a trip to Austin
to accompany Dennis on his re-
turn home.
June 22nd through June 26th
has been designated by
the City Council as
GENERAL CLEAN UP WEEK.
All Residents are requested and urged to clean up all
trash, brush, cans, and clean up all places where flies and
mosquitoes breed. City trucks will pick up trash and
brush each day from June 23rd through June 26th. Trash
and brush to be picked up should be placed at the street
curb to enable easy picking up. All are requested to co-
operate to make Shiner a clean City. (24-2tc)

Callin' All Dogs:
It's Time For
The Needle Again
Come Saturday, June 20,
you’d better take a little time
off and go see a man about a
dog.
YOUR dog, that is; and the
man is a veterinarian who will
be at the Welhausen Park in
Shiner from 1:00 to 3:00
for Shiner annual rabies
cination clinic.
The price—about the
price that hasn’t advanced in
recent years—is still $2.00 per
dog. Included with the fee will
be a vaccination certificate
signed by the vet and a metal
collar tag to keep your dog
from being picked up some-
time as an unvaccinated stray.
The vaccination, immunizing
the dog against rabies for a
year, takes only a few min-
utes.

home Monday afternoon. Karen
was playing out in the yard at
their home when the dog, a
small light brown Chow, ap-
peared and dashed up to the girl
and bit her.
The dog was caught and put
under observation. Mr. Wendt
is very anxious to get in con-
tact with the owner of the dog.
His phone number is LY 4-3401,
Shiner.
