The oldest church in Texas

still used as a church. It was

1731. The nave of the church
is famous for its acoustics
which are compared to the
Mormon Temple in Salt Lake
City.
® Mission San Jose
A National Historic Site and
the noblest of the Missions. It
was founded here in 1720. San
Jose was an oasis of civiliza-

Apache, who ate human flesh,
and by a number of other tribes.

Land Bank
Reduces
Interest Rate
The Board of Directors
The Federal Land Bank
Houston has approved a reduc-
tion of y2 of 1% in the interest
rate which the bank will charge
on its new loans beginning Jan-
uary 1, 1961. In making the
announcement Hal Weather-
ford, President of the bank,
stated that the board also au-
thorized a reduction of ¥2 of
1% beginning January 1 and
until further notice on some
$24,000,000 of loans which bear
an interest rate of 6%.
According to Weatherford,
this is the third time the Hous-
ton bank has been able to vol-
untarily reduce the interest on
loans already on the books. The
Federal Land Bank makes its
loans through 73 Federal Land
Bank Associations located
throughout Texas. It has over
235 million dollars of loans in
force and obtains funds to make
loans through the sale of bonds
to the investing public. This re-
duction in interest rates will
mean substantial savings each
year to many farm and ranch
owners in Texas.

Governor of Texas
Austin, Texas
GREETINGS:
For each of the past 11 years,
Public Schools Week in Texas
has been set aside as a special
time to place increased emphas-
is on our educational system.
During this period, parents
are encouraged to visit the
public schools, and all citizens
are urged through special pro-
grams to recognize the tremen-
dous importance of our system
of education. Our goal is to
make Texas public schools the
finest in the Nation, and to
achieve this our citizens are
urged to take an active inter-
est in the school systems and to
cooperate with their school
boards, superintendents, prin-
cipals and teachers.
Never before in our history
has there been a greater need
for educated leadership. As we
rush to train young people in
science and technology to keep
pace with world events, it is al-
so important to remember that
our public schools will furnish
our leaders of tomorrow with
the basic human, moral and
spiritual foundations necessary
for more advanced training and
knowledge.
THEREFORE, I, as Governor
of Texas, do hereby designate
the period March 6—March 10,
1961, as
