@ Adequate free parking

at the new Comanche Stadium.
A reserved parking area has
been set up for those who might

The Texas State law requires
ah operator of any motor ve-
hicle to acquire a driver’s per-
mit from the Texas Department
of Public Safety to operate any
and all motor vehicles driven
upon any public road in the
State of Texas.
At the age of 14 years, a per-
son may acquire a driver’s per-
mit to operate a motor scooter
only. Motorcycles, motor scoot-
ers and motor bikes are classed
as motorcycles as far as the
state laws that govern them are
concerned. They are governed,
except for certain equipment
requirements, by the same rules
and regulations as passenger
cars.
According to the d r i v e r’s
manual prepared by the Texas
Department of Public Safety,
which is distributed free in an
effort to reduce the deaths, in-
juries, and property damage
caused by traffic accidents, per-
sons who may not be licensed
and who must not drive include
any person under 14 years of
age.
A series of accidents have
plagued Shiner and immediate
area for the past several weeks,
seven of which occurred recent-
ly in only two days, according
to Shiner’s Chief of Police, Bill
Kirk.
Anyone wanting advice reg-
ulating traffic laws, needing in-
formation in securing driver’s
licenses, special licenses for mi-
nors, beginner’s or practice li-
cense, requirements for minors,
laws governing liability in the
operating of a motor vehicle by
a minor, etc., is urged to go to
see Police Chief Bill Kirk. You
will find him most helpful and
willing to give assistance in
your needs.
In turn, it is hoped that it
will make “our town” a better
place in which to drive.
The dedication of the new Comanche Stadium was held at 7:45 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 4, 1964.
The high school principal, Max E. Seidenberger, served as master of ceremonies. Rev. R. A. Tin-
dall gave the invocation which was followed by the National Anthem played by the Shiner High
School Band. Following this, the superintendent of schools, David A. Little, presented the state

American Legion, Shiner, has
opened its membership drive for
the coming year, Post Com-

nounced today.

followed by a big free dance
at night. Letters are being mail-
ed to all members and prospec-

Commander Harbers explain-
ed that the “Roll Call” theme
of this year’s drive was to re-
mind all war veterans of their
service to their country which
makes them eligible to become
Legionnaires. “We are hoping
to conclude our drive with a
report of ‘All present and ac-
counted for’ ”, he added.
The local Post is joining some
16,500 other community organ-
izations of the Legion through-
out the United States, various
overseas territories and several
foreign nations in the world’s
largest annual membership en-
rollment campaign undertaken
by a veterans organization.
“We plan to have the bulk of
our 1965 membership drive
completed by Veterans Day to
permit us to devote as much
time and effort as possible to
our community service pro-
grams,” Commander Harbers
stated. Dues are now payable
and being accepted for the com-
ing year from those Legion-
naires and eligible veterans who
would like to be known as
“Early Birds”.
It was also pointed out that
Shiner Post 201 has a high goal
for 1965 which must be met if
the local organization is to con-
tinue in such programs as Little
League Baseball, Boys State
and Community Service.
Commander Harbers reported
that the Post is planning to ex-
pand its local program and
activities.
Eligibility dates for American
Legion membership are as fol-
lows: World War I, April 6, 1917
to November 11, 1918; World
War II, December 7, 1941 to
September 2, 1945 and the Ko-

Mrs. Marie Gerloff
Beloved Mother
Laid To Rest
A long faithful and useful
life was brought to a close, when
another beloved mother, Mrs.
Marie Gerloff, closed her eyes
in dreamless sleep at her home
in Shiner Wednesday, Septem-
ber 9, 1964 at 3:45 a.m. She had
reached the advanced age of 98
years, 7 months and 21 days.
The body lay in state at the
Buffington Funeral Home, Shi-
ner, until 2:00 p.m. Thursday,
September 10, when it was con-
veyed to the United Dr. Martin
Luther Church where services
were held at 3:00 p.m.
The Rev. F. Erhard Eilers of-
ficiated at the impressive last
rites and graveside services in
the Shiner City Cemetery.
Mrs. Victor Stindt, organist,
olayed a prelude of sacred
hymns and accompanied the
congregational singing of “Jes-
us, the Very Thought of Thee”
and “Jesus Saviour, Pilot Me”
during the services.
Serving as pallbearers were
Andrew Brosh, Edwin Wehl and
Sam Walleck, all of Shiner,
Henry Walleck Jr. of San An-
tonio, Alton Sain of Alice and
Eldor Buehring of Moulton.
Grandma Gerloff affectionately
known to her many friends and
loved ones as “Muttem” was
bom in Germany January 18,
1866, the oldest child of Mr. and
Mrs. A. Puls. She received the
rite of Holy Baptism and in her
youth was confirmed in the Lu-
theran Church in Germany. She
remained true to her church
and worshiped faithfully as a
member in United Dr. Martin
Luther Church as long as her
health permitted and services
were conducted in her native
tongue, after which her Pastor
orovided devotions for her and
administered the Sacrament
regularly in her home.
On June 14, 1885 she was
united in marriage to Ferd. Ger-
loff in Germany. Seven years
later, in 1892, they came to
America with their small
daughter, Marie. Here they were
blessed with seven more chil-
dren. They lived in the Shiner
community where they engaged
in farming until 1921, when
they bought their home in Shi-
ner.
After her husband passed
away on February 6, 1944, her
daughter and son-in-law, Marie
and Henry Stuter, came to live
with her so that they could pro-
vide her with the care and com-
panionship she needed. Since
her fall five years ago, she spent
much of her time in bed, es-
pecially the last few months.
All during this time she was
tenderly cared for by her
daughter, Mrs. Marie Stuter.
Survivors include two daugh-
ters, Mrs. Marie (Wehl) Stuter
of Shiner, Mrs. Walter (Elsie)
Brunkenhoefer of Moulton; one
son, Otto Gerloff of Moulton;
also 17 grandchildren, 50 great-
grandchildren and 10 great-
great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death
by her husband, 2 infant daugh-
ters, Minnie and Ella; 2 sons,
Ferd, who died at the age of 4
years, and Willie, who passed
away at 6 years of age; a
daughter, Mrs. Agnes (Sain)
Walleck, who died March 7,
1955; a brother, Fred Puls; and
a sister, Mrs. August Wegener.
Throughout her long, event-
ful life, she proved an indulgent
mother, a kind and helpful
neighbor. She left a noble her-
itage of Christian living to her
family and descendants.
May those who revere her
memory realize for their com-
fort that life is a pilgrimage
which ends in reunion with the
souls most precious to them,
who live with Him.
