Honored At Shower
Miss Deloris Ann Peterek,
bride-elect of Steve Zitelman of
San Antonio, was honored with
a miscellaneous shower Sunday
afternoon September 27. The St.
James Parish Hall in Gonzales
was the scene of the party.
Miss Pamela Peterek, niece of
the honoree, registered the
guests at a small table near the
entrance. The table was cover-
ed with a white cloth and held
an arrangement of autumn flo-
wers in a decorated vase. Fifty-
five guests registered for the
afternoon affair.
Games were led by Mrs. Les-

into two groups and the side
led by Mrs. B. J. Phillips was
the winning team for both
games. The prizes were present-
ed to the honoree, Miss Peterek.
After opening her many love-
ly and useful gifts the hostesses
presented Miss Peterek with an
electric blanket.

by the hostesses, a white car-

small kitchen utensils mingled
in the center.

Edward Peterek, Sr., and the
mother of the groom-to-be, Mrs.
Emmitte Zitleman, were also
presented white carnation cor-
sages.

with a white lace cloth. A large
fall arrangement of flowers
centered the table.
The cake was a huge white
confection encircled with yellow
tulle. On the top layer large
white wedding bells were sit-
uated with yellow and white
roses and buds surrounding
them. The cake was further dec-
orated with green leaves and
silver dragees.

C. Y. Jacobs G.Of. Candidate For
State Representative, District 47
C. Y. Jacobs, a Lavaca Coun-
ty rancher, who has been a life-
long Democrat, announced that
he is running for State Repre-
sentative, District 47, on the Re-
publican ticket.
“It has grieved me to have
the Democratic party turn away
from the wants and needs of the
people,” said Mr. Jacobs. “It
looks like the only way the
average man can have a say in
government is through the Re-
publican party, and for the first
time in my life, I voted in the
Republican Primary of 1964.”
District 47 includes DeWitt,
Accent on Health
The coming of cold weather
may pose a potential hazard for
your child that you haven’t even
thought about.
As your toddler stays indoors
during winter, he’ll be explor-
ing—tasting, chewing, nibbling
—on most anything in sight,
even the woodwork and win-
dow sills.
It is this “curiosity appetite”
that causes hundreds of chil-
dren to be poisoned each month.
Perhaps the most insidious
poison of all is lead poisoning.
It results from toddlers eating
small chips of old paint, chew-
ing on windowsills or nibbling
on crumbs of chipped plaster
containing bits of lead paint.
Paint on older houses is more
apt to be deadly. Much more
lead was formerly put in in-
terior paints than is used today.
Often exterior paint—contain-
ing considerable lead—was also
used indoors.
Toddlers eating flakes of this
old paint or chewing it off
painted woodwork or furniture
are not made ill immediately.
Lead poisoning is accumulative,
that is, it builds to a toxic level
over a period of time.
Since toddlers are usually
confined indoors during the
winter months, eating of lead
usually takes place then. Later,
during the hot summer months,
acute symptoms may develop
as the stored lead is mobilized
and distributed to sensitive or-
gans of the body. Nerve cells
are particularly vulnerable so
that brain damage results in
about one-fourth of the cases.
Lead poisoning can be fatal
or cause severe brain damage
and mental retardation in chil-
dren. It is an entirely “man-
made disease” and should be
completely preventable.
Parents should make sure that
all toys, cribs, etc., are painted
with non-toxic paint containing
less than one percent lead. All
peeling or blistered paint should
be removed from inside the
house, and any falling plaster
should be cleaned up immedi-
ately. Keep an eye out for
munching children, especially
if the kind of paint on the ob-
ject is unknown. Also avoid let-
ting small children breathe
fumes of fresh paint in confined
areas.
You can’t and don’t want to
stop your toddler from explor-
ing, tasting and chewing, but
you can eliminate as much op-
portunity for lead poisoning as
possible.
Gonzales and Lavaca Counties.
Mr. Jacobs replaces Jim Bryant,
the Republican nominee in the
primary who has since with-
drawn and moved outside of
District 47.
“Unlike my Democratic op-
ponent, I have a strong plat-
form for my campaign,” said
Mr. Jacobs. “All he wants to do
is find himself a job so he can
raise taxes so the government
can spend more money.”
Mr. Jacobs is President of the
Mid-Coastal Brahman Breeders j
Association. He is on the ad-
visory board of the Sportsmen
Club of Texas and the Texas
Land and Independent Oil and
Gas Producers Association. He
is an active member of the Tex-
as and Southwestern Cattle
Raisers Association, an honored
member of the Future Farmers
of America and he organized
and is a leader in the 4-H Club.
A Native of Lavaca County,
Mr. Jacobs was born near Ez-
zell. He moved to his present
ranch home in 1920. He also
owns property in Victoria and
DeWitt Counties.
The Jacobs household is ef-
ficiently managed by a gracious
lady of DeWitt County extrac-
tion. Mrs. Jacobs is the former
Esther Lassig, daughter of the
late Mr. and Mrs. William Las-
sig of DeWitt County.
In addition to his active busi-
ness career, Mr. Jacobs has
found time for many civic jobs.
He has been a leader in the
Yoakum rodeo and is a member
of the Chambers of Commerce
in Yoakum and Hallettsvile. He
has been Chairman of the Hal-
lettsville Farm Bureau and
Secretary-Treasurer of the La-
vaca County organization and
is now serving as First Vice-
President.
Mr. Jacobs said he wants to
represent District 47 in the
State Legislature so the people
will have a say in our state gov-
ernment.
Mr. Jacobs outlined an eleven
-point platform and challenged
his opponent to name one thing
he plans to do for the district.
Mr. Jacobs’ platform is:
1. I am a rancher and farmer
and know the problems of farm-
ers, ranchers and small business
and I will represent their in-
terests.
2. I refuse to represent any
vested interest and I will al-
ways vote for the things the
majority of the people want.
3. I am opposed to any in-
crease in our State and County
taxes at the present time. I be-
lieve government should stay
within its present income, just
like the people.
4. I am opposed to the gov-
ernment spending hundreds of
millions of dollars to build a
dam between Cuero and Gon-
zales that nobody wants except
the government bureaucrats and
their puppets.
5. I believe in balancing the
budget and not going into the
red, like our Federal Govern-
ment is now doing.
6. I strongly oppose a state
income tax in any form.
7. I am for upgrading our
public schools and paying our
teachers more so we can at-
tract more good teachers.
8. I oppose meat and oil im-
ports because they hurt our
state economy.
9. I am for the free enter-
prise system and for our right
to work law.
10. I am opposed to the so-
called party loyalty pledge.
11. I oppose the registration
of firearms in any form.
Mr. Jacobs will be visiting
throughout the three counties
in the district and he invites all
of his friends, as well as people
who want a good, decent and
clean government, to vote for
him November 3rd.
