The Peach Creek Philosopher Glad
To Learn Some Of Those Quiz
Folks Just Ordinary After All
® © •
The Peach Creek Philosopher
on his Johnson grass farm on
Rt. 3, Shiner views the quiz
show scandals this week.
Dear editar:
I’m not exactly a television
fan, television programs don’t
turn up out
here like news-
papers, people
can’t hand you
a televi-
sion program
like they can a
newspaper, but
nonetheless I
manage to look
at a few programs now and
then and I was interested in
reading in a newspaper I bor-
rowed out of my neighbor’s
mail box yesterday that Con-
gress has been investigating the
quiz programs which were so
popular last year on television.
As I understand it, several
contestants have testified that
the quiz programs were rigged,
that the answers were given to
them before they went on the
air.
Now this has struck some
people as outrageous, they
think something ought to be
done to the television producers
who worked such a fraud on the
public.
I disagree with this attitude
completely. Personally, I am
very satisfied to learn that
some of the contestants claim
CARD OF THANKS
We wish to express our heart-
felt thanks and appreciation to
friends, neighbors and relatives
for all kindnesses and consid-
eration shown in behalf of our
beloved wife and mother, Mrs.
Joe (Annie) Hranitzky, during
her illness and for all expres-
sions of sympathy accorded the
family either through deeds or
words following her passing
from this life. Our sincere
thanks especially extended to
Rev. Fathers John J. Hanacek
and Michael O’Shaughnessy for
their consoling visits and reli-
gious services; to all who
brought food; to all who re-
membered her with flowers,
cheering messages and bedside
visits during her illness. We
gratefully thank those who
tendered many floral tributes
and Mass offerings in her me-
mory; everyone who remem-
bered the family with messages
of condolence, and all who
comforted us in our sorrow. Al-
so thanks to the Buffington Fu-
neral Home for their kindness.
May God bless each of you. *

they were given the answers
ahead of time.
I watched those people rat-
tle off answers to almost im-
possible questions, week after
week, and their vast store of
knowledge was making people
like you and me, at least me,
feel inferior. It just wasn’t
human to have that many facts
crammed in your head.
It’s a pleasure to me to get
this thing brought to light.
As for working a fraud on
the public, that’s an unpleasant
thing, but let’s not carry our
outrage too far. Congress
doesn’t want to get too ener-
getic about it. People demand
a certain amount of fraud in
their entertainment and pos-
sibly in their politics. Nearly
everybody knows the gunmen
in TV westerns use blanks.
There never was a woman’s hat
that some man wouldn’t brag
on, and everybody knows there
are some hats that the only way
you can brag on them is to lie.
There’s nothing wrong with
hokum, as long as the people
know it’s hokum. Congressmen
know that, especially do Con-
gressmen know that.
Yours faithfully,
J. A.

HOLD THAT LINE
What more familiar words do we hear this time of the year
then “Hold that line” or “We want a touchdown.”
Well, we at the Telephone Company are also busy trying
to “hold that line,” telephone line that is, open and ready
for your use. Hunting season is here again, much to my own
and many other hunters gratitude, and gunshot wounds in
a telephone cable, or shattered insulator on open wire cir-
cuit cause service to be disrupted and costly repairs.
Please refrain from shooting at birds on cables and wires
and prevent these unnecessary service interruptions. Your
co-operation will be appreciated by not only the Telephone
Company but the telephone users as well.
BEAUTY ON DUTY
What does this headline mean to you.
If you’re a homemaker, it could mean the new washer or
dryer, or maybe even a new dishwasher.
To a man “Beauty on Duty” could mean a new car or the
new transistor radio that brings you the World Series.
For teenagers, it could mean the old but treasured jalopy
sitting proudly in the driveway.
But here at the telephone company, we have our own
special definition of “Beauty on Duty”—a bedroom tele-
phone in color.
A bedroom phone in color deserves the title, too, because
it brightens your bedroom while helping you keep in touch
between chores during the day. It also gives you a sense of
security and keeps you free from care and worry at night.
Color telephones are also available with a built-in night
light—ideal for bedrooms. To order your bedroom phone in
color, just call Mrs. Yeiser or Mrs. Treptow at the telephone
business office. The number is AX 3-3591 in Yoakum.
HOW NOT TO TIE UP YOUR PHONES
I was passing the time of day with a fellow recently when
he suddenly blurted out, as if he’d just thought of something.
“I just found out that if the receiver isn’t on your phone
straight and firm that all the phones in your house can be
tied up and nobody can call you.”
“That’s right,” I said.
“Well,” he said, “you ought to tell people about that. It’s
important.”
My friend’s right. It is important to make sure receivers
on all your telephones are on the hook. It’s even more im-
portant if you’re on a party line. A receiver off any phone
ties up the line for everyone else.
“Why,” I asked my friend, “are you so suddenly interested
in this subject.”
“Because a fellow tried to call me and couldn’t, and I
missed out on a fishing trip—that’s why,” he said.
Call by number. It’s twice as fash

Enrolling Transferees
Yoakum. — DeWitt County
made plans this week to con-
tinue enrolling Negro trans-
ferees from Goliad after an
election vote at Goliad vetoed
desegregation there by 338 to
173.
Fifteen Negro pupils had ask-
ed admittance to Goliad High
School, their request instigat-
ing. the election in accordance
with state law.
The balloting was the second
of its kind in this area. Earlier
Bloomington had voted approv-
al for desegregation and became
a desegregated school effective
at the start of the fall term this
year.
! The petition at Goliad was
initiated by parents of Negro
high school students who ob-
jected to being sent to a Negro
high school at Cuero.
Goliad has segregated ele-
Helen Janak
Shower Honoree
The appointed hours from
two to four o’clock in the after-
noon were selected for the mis-
cellaneous shower, honoring
Miss Helen Janak at the Wied
Hall Sunday, October 4.
A color scheme of yellow and
green was portrayed in the par-
ty appointments and predom-
inated in the background of
yellow and green streamers for
the honor guest’s chair which
was placed before a trellis with
two silver bells. She was led to
the place of honor by little
Dolores Janak and Annette
Janacek to the strains of “Here
Comes The Bride.”
The bride-elect was present-
ed a corsage of chrysanthemums
and the intended couple’s mo-
mentary schools but has no Ne-
gro high school.
i thers, Mrs. Alex Janak and Mrs.
I Anton Janik, wore white cor-
sages.
Favors of yellow and green
wedding bells inscribed with
“Helen and Laddie,” were pin-
ned on each guest by Mrs. Clyde
Jobb, who also presided at the
guest register for 150 guests.
The program for the enter-
tainment of the honoree and
guests was conducted by Mrs.
Godfrey Klekar and included a
reading, “For The Bride,” by
Lillian Mladenka; reading,
“Greatest Step In Life,” by
Helen Janak; a song, “My Hap-
piness,” by Lillian Mladenka
and Dolores Pesek; Questions;
“Telephone Conversation,” by
Mrs. Harry Schreiber and Miss
Emily Dolezal; a treasure hunt,
by the bride-to-be; a reading,
“Commandments For The Bride
and Groom”; “Tribute To The
Bride,” by Theresa Bollom; and
a reading by Agnes Pesek.
The chosen bridesmaids, Mrs.
Georgie Jobb, Misses Anita
Janak and Emily Dolezal, help-
ed unwrap the gifts and Miss
Agnes Pesek registered the
gifts.
The refreshment table was
laid with lace and was center-
ed with yellow mums, from
which was served chicken and
ham salad sandwiches, a varie-
ty of cakes, koiaches, chips,
pickles, mints, coffee and
punch.
The honoree graciously thank-
ed the hostesses and guests and
invited them to attend the wed-
ding at St. Mary’s Catholic
Church October 10.
A set of copper bottom cook-
ware and an electric mixer was
presented to the bride-to-be by
the hostesses.
