This is the time of the spring elections - bond issues, city
councils, school boards and bingo. The one that took the
longest time to put together was that for the legalization of
bingo. It is a game that has been in existence for a long
time and an approving vote Saturday will finally make it
legal. A road bond vote faces the taxpayers of Austin
County. Unlike other previous bond issues, it hasn’t drawn
obvious organized resistance apparently because the
issue is rather clear-cut and sunpie. It is either maintain
and hopefully upgrade the existing roads or forget about
fussing about road conditions. Sometimes elections and
election issues are complex and complicated. It is sort of
unusual to ha ve one where the issues boil down to a clearly
simple “yes” or "no" and mean exactly that. Now tiiat’s
quite different from the Constitutional Amendment
ballots where what they mean can be plenty tricky and
rather jumbled up.
Schoenau News
Mrs. Ix'Koy Luetge
On Sunday, "most of Sch-
oenau was in Industry" for
the dinr. :r and worship
service at the Industry Un-
ited Methodist Church, as
was stated by someone that
day. The Ixmard Luetges,
the W. E. Maerzes, the Gary
Luetges, the Robert Mc-
Daniels. the Donnie Bar-
netts, Mrs. Birdie Luetge.
the Tommy Schultzes and
the lx? Roy Luetges, were
all in attendance for some
or all of the occasion. The
others mentioned next are
people who live on the edge
of Schoenau, or own proper-
ty in this community who
were also there: Mrs. Annie
Schmid and the Sanford
Schmids, the L. J. Luedeck-
es, Mrs. I-ouise Hupe, the
Edwin Ludwigs, the Alfred
Eckemianns. and did I miss
anyone? I hope not. The
special occasion was a visit
from Mrs. A. M. Roos, and
her son Chaplain Louis Roos
and his wife, Sarah. Chap-
lain Roos delivered the
sermon, and they all re-
mained for dinner in the
Educational Building fol -
lowing the service.
Mr. and Mrs. Donnie Bar-
nett, Warren and Jordan,
picked up Deanna in Bren-
ham ami then visited with
the Rev. and Mrs. James
Barnett in Caldwell on Sun-
day. In the evening they
attended worship services
with Deanna in her church,
where they thoroughly en-
joyed a choir presentation
by a group from Mary
Hardin Baylor University at
Belton.
Mrs. I^anard Ixietge and
Mrs. LeRoy Luetge, and
Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Maerz
were among those to visit
with the French family
between Shelby and Round

Lynelle and Robert teach at
Carmine.
Willie Maerz visited with
Frank Riley in Temple one
day recently. Also the Mae-

home part of the weekend.
Our sympathy to the fam-
ily of Mrs. Toni Rudloff,
mother of Ixirine Ecker-
rnann. Mrs. Rudloff died
Sunday evening, and will be
greatly missed by many.
She was very active in the
church, having taught a
Sunday School class for
many years, and assisting
with the beautifying of the
church buildings and gr-
ounds. She took part in
many activities in the com-
munity as well, and will
leave an open space that no
one else can fill.
