"NOTES AND
COMMENTS"
FIRE PREVENTION WEEK
Shiner citizens are reminded
that October 3-9 is Fire Pre-
vention Week, a full seven days
set aside to give some thought
to the hazards of fire, the hard-
ships, sufferings and losses that
come from fires.
No doubt you can remember
back through the years, when
four to six to eight horses
raced in front of a fire wagon,
equipped with buckets, to put
out a fire. A bucket brigade was
formed, a very meager means
of extinguishing a fire, the re-
sult being that at that time a
fire was a real hazard.
But science and invention
gave some thought to fire pre-
vention with the result that to-
day every city and town is
equipped with modern, effective
fire apparatus. There are no
more fire wagons, pulled by
horses, but instead we have
huge fire trucks, equipped with
everything modern to fight fires.
Science has taught us how to
extinguish fires after they start,
but it is up to us to prevent
them. A burning match tossed
aside, or a lighted cigarette or
cigar, rubbish, waste material,
defective flues, and defective
wiring, still take their toll in
starting fires.
Carelessness in this respect is
the real fire hazard and during
this week everyone should
give some thought to prevent
fires. If we consider this con-
scientiously during this week,
there is a chance that we will
do the same for the next fifty-
one weeks.

“CLEAN-UP NOW”
Everyone is urged to start a
clean-up program now in pre-
paration for “Fire Prevention
Week” and the upcoming Gua-
dalupe Firemen’s and Fire Mar-
shals’ Convention to be held in
Shiner Sunday, October 10. The
59 th Semi-Annual gathering
will be hosted by the Shiner
Fire Department.
Several hundred delegates
from 56 towns will be coming
to Shiner for the meeting and
everyone is asked to make a
special effort to clean up their
vacant lots, yards, trim shrubs
and curbs, remove all “Fire
Hazards,” etc. from the pre-
mises. Let’s make a good im-
pression.
Shiner has always been noted
for being one of the “cleanest
and neatest” little cities in the
nation, and it is up to all of
us to uphold this reputation.
“Let’s Get Busy Now.”

which must be met if the local
Post is to have both the funds
and manpower to support com-
munity service programs.
Also, he pointed out that The
American Legion is attempting
to expand its local programs
and activities, depending on the
outcome of the 1966 member-
ship drive.

time veterans of Shiner and
surrounding communities to be-
come a member of Post 201 in

Funeral Services
In Smithville For
Mrs. Jos. Novosad
Death came as a tender mes-
senger of relief to Mrs. Mary
Albina Novosad of Smithville,
who passed away at 9:30 a.m.
Tuesday, September 14, 1965,
at the age of 86 years, 7 months
and 27 days.
Funeral services were held at
Marrs Memorial Chapel at 3:00
p.m. Thursday, September 16
with the Rev. Henry Beseda Jr.
of Houston and Rev. F. J. Kos-
toryz of Temple officiating at
the impressive last rites and
graveside services. The Rev.
Beseda paid tribute to her
memory in the English lan-
guage and the Rev. Kostoryz,
in the Czech language spoke
fervently in his closing tribute
to her, who was beloved by all
who knew her.
She was laid to rest in the
Oak Hill Cemetery, Smithville,
by the side of her husband.
Serving as pallbearers were
four of her nephews, Lee J.
Sedlmeyer of Shiner, Dan
Hruska of Bellville, Lad Hruska
of Houston, Leroy Sulik of
McAllen; and two close friends
of the family, J. J. Stalmach
and E. O. Sharp of Smithville.
Mrs. Novosad was born Jan-
uary 17, 1879 at Wesley, near
Brenham, daughter of John and
Frances (Sebesta) Chupick.
Shortly after birth, she was
baptized in the Wesley Breth-
ren Church by the Rev. A.
Chlumsky.
When she was five years of
age, the family moved to Fay-
ette County near Ellinger where
they established a plantation
in the Colorado River bottom.
Here she grew to maturity and
received her elementary educa-
tion here.
On November 11, 1902, she
was married to Joseph H. Novo-
sad. The wedding took place in
the Fayette Brethren Church
at Ross Prairie, near Fayette-
ville. Three children were born
to this union. After their mar-
riage, the couple made their
home in Ellinger where Mr.
Novosad had a general mer-
chandise store and tin shop. In
1910 they sold their business
interests and moved to East
Bernard where he entered the
lumber business. He later sold
this business, but continued to
work in the yard for the new
owners. During his last few
years in East Bernard, he was
an accountant for the Farmers
Coop.
In 1948, Mr. Novosad com-
pletely retired and the couple
moved to Smithville where
they lived in retirement to-
gether until his death Septem-
ber 26, 1955. Mrs. Novosad con-
tinued to live in the home alone
until in December of 1964. Due
to infirmities she was moved to
The Towers where she had been
a resident since it opened in
March and had been in the hos-
pital several weeks prior to
that time. She became serious-
ly ill Sunday and was taken
to the hospital section where
she died two days later.
Mrs. Novosad was a life-long
member of the Brethren
Church. She was a charter
member of the SPJST Lodge of
Ellinger and was awarded a 50-
year pin. She was also a mem-
ber of the Ladies circle of the
Woodmen of the World.
Survivors include her three
sons, Edward John Novosad of
Karnes City, A. J. (Gus) Novo-
sad of Smithville and Norman
N. Novosad of Point Comfort;
one brother, John F. Chupick
of La Grange; three sisters,
Mrs. Annie Sulik Hruska and
Mrs. Vlasta Kristek, both of La
Grange, Mrs. Rose Juren of
Midland; three grandchildren,
Mrs. Don (Pat) Lester, of Port
Lavaca, Nancy and Norman N.
Novosad Jr. of Point Comfort;
three great-grandchildren, Les-
ley, Tommy and Lesa Lester of
Port Lavaca.
Besides her husband, she was
preceded in death by her father,
John Chupick, on December 5,
1905; her mother, Mrs. Frances
Sebesta Chupick, on October 20,
1931; a brother, Joe Chupick,
on January 15, 1932; and two
sisters, Mrs. J. J. (Albina)
Sedlmeyer died September 24,
1930 and Mrs. Tom (Fannie)
Hruska died February 6, 1947.
Peaceful death terminated
her physical infirmities, calm-
ed her and eased her soul into
the hands of One she was pre-
pared to meet.
Always unselfish and faith-
ful, nothing was two difficult
for her busy hands to accom-
plish for others. The host of
friends in attendance and hun-
dreds of beautiful flowers bore

Flatonian Expires
After Freak Mishap
Anton Joseph Florus, 59
years, 10 months and 24 days,
of Flatonia, died in the Wagner
Memorial hospital in Shiner at
2:20 a.m. Friday, September 17,
1965 as a result of a freak ac-
cident which occurred on his
farm near Flatonia Thursday
afternoon.
Mr. Florus had driven to the
farm to see about his cattle
when his pick-up hit a stump
in the weeds. The jar caused
him to hit the steering wheel
with his chest resulting in in-
ternal injury and hemorrhag-
ing. Upon returning home he
was taken to the hospital but
expired a number of hours la-
ter.
The deceased was a former
mail dispatcher at the Flatonia
post office, having to retire
following a serious operation.
Funeral services were held
at the Sacred Heart Catholic
church in Flatonia Saturday
morning with burial in the Ca-
tholic cemetery there. The
Rev. A. M. Black officiated.
He was born in Cistern on
October 23, 1905 and was mar-
ried to the former Edna Zim-
merhanzel.
Surviving besides his wife
are a daughter, Mrs. Pauline
Farek of Bryan; four sons, Le-
roy and Anthony of Flatonia,
Ben of Sealy and Donald of
San Antonio; three sisters,
Sister M. Adolphine of Shiner,
Mrs. Agnes Zouzalik of Flato-
nia and Mrs. Katy Fabrygel of
Blessing; and one brother, Joe
Florus of Yorktown.

Peanut Field
Day To Be Held
At Yoakum
Yoakum. — Peanut growers
will have an opportunity to ob-
serve the latest peanut research
and hear several speakers at the
Peanut Field Day October 1, at
Texas A&M University’s Plant
Disease Laboratory at Yoakum.
A tour of research plots at
Yoakum will begin at 1:30 p.m.
Trial plots on weed control,
method of planting, seeding
rate, chemical test, disease con-
trol, variety test and other trial
plots covering production prac-
tices will be on the tour.
Dr. A. L. Harrison, superin-
tendent of the Yoakum Station,
reports the peanut plots are in
good shape and the irrigation
system has kept them from suf-
fering through the drouth.
Following the tour, there will
be a discussion period at which
questions from growers on pro-
duction problems will be an-
swered. Teaching, research and
Extension personnel from Texas
A&M will appear on the pro-
gram with Dr. Harrison.
The Plant Disease Laboratory
is located 2 miles east of Yoa-
kum on State Highway 111.
The field day should end
about 4:30 p.m.
