ARTHUR H. SCHROEDER
FOR SCHOOL TRUSTEE
A group of friends have prevail-
ed upon Arthur H. Schroeder to
submit his name as a candidate
for School Trustee with the assur-
ance that he will fill the position
in such a manner as to reflect
credit both to himself and the
Board as a whole.
Mr. Schroeder is a busy man,
the kind it takes to get things
done, and he gives his best to
anything he undertakes. He has
children in school and is a tax
payer therefore has the interest
of our schools at heart.
He is in favor of athletics and
has manifested his interest in the
welfare of the students heretofore
in a number of material ways.
He is aggressive, progressive,
endowed with outstanding busi-
ness ability, is steady and depend-
able. He is a/ large-scale farmer
which entails much study, plan-
ning and financial reports, all of
which add to his qualifications for
the position of school trustee. If
elected he will serve conscientious-
ly for the good of the school sys-
tem and the student body.
A vote for Arthur Schroeder
April 5th will be an expression of
confidence and he will strive to
fulfill your fullest expectations of
him.

As we enter the last week of
the campaign, fifty percent of the
Bastrop Red Cross chapter’s quota
of $75000.00 in the 1947 Fund
Raising Campaign has been reach-
ed, according to an announcement
by Sam Gurwitz, chairman, fund
campaign chairman. The amount
was. obtained after 7 days of in-
tensive solicitation of business,
industry, and residential sections
by 200 volunteer fund raising
workers.
“Results half-way through) our
campaign show that residents of
.Bastrop County appreciate the
services Red Cross has rendered
them during and before the war
years and its current expansion of
peacetime services,” Gurwitz said.
“Our workers universally report
an awareness of Red Cross due to
the large numbers of veterans and
servicemen from Bastrop County
who have come in contact with the
Red Cross wherever they served
in World War II.”
Pointing out that speed is es-
sential not only in the interest of
the volunteer workers who are
braving the uncertain March
weather, but also as a gesture of
appreciation on the part of con-
tributors, Gurwitz said that the
chapter hopes to wind up the cam-
paign by March 31st.

believe his faith in the Elgin

that this first step will prove a
great success and bring Elgin’s
