THE MAN WHO
DOESN’T INSURE
The man who does not insure
his life is not a model citizen,
because he takes the risk of
leaving his family to be a
charge upon the state—he re-
fuses to unite with other men
in a perfectly feasible method
of preventing it.
He is not a model husband,
because he is not doing all he
can to love, cherish and protect
the one woman who. gave up
her liberty for his sake, accept-
ing the lot which comes to her
as his wife and mother of his
children.
He is not a model father, be-
cause he is not doing his best to
make sure of the support, edu-
cation and social position of his
children. He is risking their
future upon his chance of liv-
ing until they are grown; if he
dies prematurely they will be
the losers of what he might
have secured to them by life
insurance. Insure your life to-
day, protect your family and
provide for your old age, as you
may die too soon or live too
long. Insure with Pan-American
Life. Joseph Muras, General
Agent. Phone LY 4-3871, Shi-
ner, Texas (47-nc)
and assorted salted nuts.

The marriage of Miss Susan- 1
na Victoria Wood and Robert
Eldon Harbers was solemnized
in a beautiful and impressive
ceremony Saturday, November
7, 1964 at 5:30 o’clock in the
afternoon in St. Joseph’s Cath- ,
olic Church, Yoakum.
The Reverend Father John L.
Matocha officiated at the dou-
ble ring ceremony and celebrat-
ed the Nuptial Mass before a
candlelighted altar adorned
with arrangements of white
gladioli and greenery. At either
side of the altar were lighted
candle trees, and baskets hold-
ing white gladioli and greenery
were at each side of the com-
munion rail entrance to the
sanctuary.
Large white satin bows, gla-
dioli and greenery marked the
pews along the center aisle,
which was covered with a white
aisle runner.
Miss Marjorie Ann Seitz, or-
ganist, played the processional,
recessional and was accompan-
ist for St. Joseph’s Choir sing-
ing the Mass. Mrs. Bennie Stary,
Miss Mary K. O’Neill and Miss
Bettie Schuette, as a trio, sang
several hymns. As they sang
the “Ave Maria” at the close of
the ceremony, the bride went
to the side altar and placed her
wedding bouquet at the foot of
the statue of the Blessed Mo-
ther.
Entering the church with her
father, the bride was gowned
in a formal length gown of
white peau de soie and Alencon
lace. The fitted bodice of lace
featured long lace sleeves that
came to petal points over the
wrists. Her shoulder-wide neck-
line of scalloped lace was en-
hanced with seed pearls and the
bodice closed in back with tiny
1 self-covered buttons. The soft
pleated bell skirt fell from a
bustle back to a chapel length
train. She carried a bridal bou-
quet of white roses and English
ivy.
Her headdress was a princess
' crown of pearls and bridal jew-
els, which constituted her
' “something borrowed,” belong-
' ing to Mrs. Varley Wildeman
of Louisville, Kentucky, the
former Roberta Matthew. Her
jewelry was a single strand of
L pearls.
She carried out the tradition
of wearing “something old,
new, borrowed and blue” and
slipped a penny in her shoe.
Miss Peggy Roush of Victoria
was maid of honor. Bridesmaids
were Miss Helen Carol Knezek
of Yoakum, Mrs. Emmanuel
Hranitzky and Miss Etta Don-
nelly, both of Houston.
They were attired in charm-

front wheel is suspended on its own
axle—a forged I-beam axle like the

Mr. Ward said that the Post Office Department
in Washington is predicting that a record seven
billion pieces of mail will move through the postal
system during the peak rush just before Christmas.
“The cooperation of all mailers is vital for us
to deliver each holiday card, letter and package
before Christmas Day. A little planning will make
the Christmas rush less hectic for everyone,” he
said.

2. Check to see that all addresses are correct.
The phone book is usually a good source for
local addresses.
3. Wherever possible, add the ZIP Code to the
addresses on the list. Because ZIP Codes speed
your mail, always include the code for your
area in return addresses. This is the best way
to inform friends, relatives and business as-
sociates of the code number for our area.
(SHINER, TEXAS 77984).
4. Determine your list of gift purchases which
must be mailed. Such planning allows you to
shop early when selections are greatest and
you can stock up on mading materials in ad-
vance. Be sure to purchase enough material
so that parcels will be packed securely.
The postmaster emphasized that poorly wrapped
and loosely packed cartons are the major cause of
parcel post damage. He also suggested that the ad-
dress be written on only one side of the exterior
wrapping and that a duplicate address be included
inside the carton, in case the outer covering is not
secure and comes off.
The St. Paul Varsity Car-
dinals met their second defeat
against the Indians of Prairie
Lea Tuesday night, November
17. Despite the defeat the Car-
dinals played a wonderful game
made of rugged competition.
During the game the Cardin-
als shot 24% from the floor—
indicating a poor night. They
also hit 41% of the free throws _
—which also helped their march
to defeat.
The high pointers of the game
were Allan Ondrusek with 19
points, Dennis Muelker with 9
points, Albert Krenek had 8
points, and Eugene Streng fol-
lowed with 3 points.
The last quarter proved to be
the climax of the game. With
the score tallied 41-40, the cries
and the yells of the St. Paul
fans grew tense. The Indians re-
ceived two more points which
then ended the game with the
score 43-40.
The entire body of St. Paul
Cardinal fans are looking for-
ward to a victory in Nordheim
Friday, November 20.
