NC'NS HONORED
WITH DINNER
More than 300 present and for-
mer parishoners attended a
covered dish dinner at Sacred
Heart Parish Hall, Rotiuie, Sun-
day, July 18. Honor guests for
the occasion were 34 nuns
representing four congregations:
Sister of Divine Providence,
Benedictines, Sisters of the Holy
Cross and Sisters of Charity
of the Incarnate Word. Nuns
attending were natives of the
parish and former teachers in
the parochial school.
The celebration marked the
diamond jubilee year of religious
profession of Sister Fldelis
l,ehman, C. D. P., a native, and
Sister Borgie Helnrieh, C, D. P.,
a former teacher. Also honored
were Sisters Angela, Denedicta,
and Hildegrade, Benedictine Sis-
ters, celebrating their Golden
Jubilee of Religious Profession
this year and Sister Henrietta
Marie O. S. B. silver jubilarian.
Other guests honored were nuns,
natives of former teachers
marking 50th or 25th anniver-
saries of religious profession
during the past few years. Roger

the occasion.
Prior to the dinner, a con-
celebrated Mass of Thanksgiving
was offered in the Church at
11 a.m. Msgr. Ed Blly, former
pastor, Fathers Victor, Aloisand
Bernard Goertz, and Father Ed
Bartseh, natives, were the con-
celebrants. Msgr. F. 0. Beck,
also a native, marking the 50th
anniversary of his ordination this
year, delivered the sermon for
the Mass. Msgr. Beck, In his
sermon, pointed out that, to his
knowledge, such a parish cele-
bration was unique. He paid tri-
bute to the unselfish devotion of
the nuns to Christian education
over many years, noting that
moral and spiritual formation
were neccessary ingredients of
a complete education for youth
as well as intellectual formation.
He thanked the Sisters for their
example and inspiration of self-
dedication in a parish community
which has witnessed a totai of
seven men and 23 women who
have dedicated their lives to furn-
ishing spiritual leadership as
priests and nuns.
Following dinner the nuns and
people had an opportunity to re-
new acquaintance with friend sand
former pupils.
FEW COWBOYS MATCH FOR BILLS — The cowboy nods his head, takes a firmer grip
on the strap and the gate swings open. The bull comes out a-bueking and few cowboys
are on deck when the eight-second bell sounds. Watch 'em ride at the Rodeo this weekend.
CELEBRATES DIAMOND
JUBILEE
Sister Mary Fldelis Lehman
C. D. P„ a member of Our Lady
of the Lake Convent, San An-
tonio, recently celebrated her

and entered the Convent In 1909,
making her first vows in 1911.

has also taught in other schools
in Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma,

year.

of the Lake Convent, Sisters

Rockne Community, staying In
tlie homes of their nieces and
families, Mr. and Mrs. Vernon
Bartseh and family, and Mr.

While in Rockne a special Mass

Arena Dust
Unce again It is that time of
year when Bastrop takes on a
festive air and everything Is In
a state of orgalnlzed confusion.
I liave revived the dust to try
to bring to you folks the straight
of how and when things will
happen as far as the rodeo is
concerned. First and most im-
portant, Mr. L.J. Huffman of
Lorena, Texas had his rodeo
stock vaccinated on the 15th of
this month so I contacted the
State Animal Health Comm. and
was told that the stock will be
eligible to be hauled In time for
our show here. I was also ad-
vised by Mr. Howard Ayers that
he will have two or three men
in the area to check the shot
certificates of all horses so if
you plan to use or bring your
horse be sure and have your
certificate with you.
The pivotettes will not be able
to perform as some of them have
not had their horses innoculated
in time. The wild cow saddling
will take place if 1 can find the
wild cows for the show. This
will be a jack-pot event open
each night. The standard events
will be bareback broncs, tie down
calf roping, girls barrel racing,
steer dogging, and of course the
ever popular bull riding. The
roping events might be a little
short the first night, but we will
substiute a few more bulls and
broncs. Every night will be a full
and complete show. The way I
have it figured is that we stand
in the positltlon of really having
the advantage over the other
towns because I would not cancel
tlte show and everyone around us
has. We will be the first rodeo
In an area that usually lias from
three to five shows each week-
end. We should really see some
of the tush hogs of the sport
here tills year to take home some
of the money, and the entry fees
that Mr. Huffman has set will
insure that if a contestant is
good enough, the prizes will be
something to write home about.
Sleepy Eyed John, the dance
going bull, will be back this
year. I am hoping that the fence
viill hold him this year. Some
one told me that John tried to
cut in on Herman and Emma
Bartseh two years ago while
they were waltzing and Kmma
didn't mind but Lincoln took of-
fense.
As usual the 4-H Club will
again this year have the food
concession and the Boy and Cub
Scouts will have the cold drink
stand. This is the major way
that these two fine organizations
raise their money for the oper-
ations of their clubs, so all the
support you can give them will
be greatly appreciated.
As you all know the rodeoeach
year is sponsored by the Ameri-
can I .egion l'ost as are the dances
each night. Almost every mem-
ber of the Ixgion works many
long hard hours to make sure
that you lave fun. Did you ever
really think of how much work
goes into Just the preparation
of this annual shindig" For the
dance, there are about 100 tables
and about 2,000 chairs that have
to be set up. Then there arc
the men that work behind the
bar to make sure that you have
family of Houston, attended.
Sister Mary Evelyn celebrated
her 58th anniversary, and Sister
Mary Celeste her 59th anniver-
sary this past year.
your refreshments and that they
are cold. All of this is done
by legion members and they
are supervised by Sarge White,
and he does a fine job.
There will be about five men
working at the rodeo to be sure
that every thing goes along
smoothly. These men are also
members of the legion. So when
you hear someone say that the
legion has the best end of Home-
coming, just remember the work
tliat goes into our end of it.
The rodeo books will be open
at Cassel's Cafe on the 29th
and will be open for eight hours
only so if any of you local boys
arc planning (o compete you had
better get In early.
The 1971 Homecoming should
be long remembered here as the
best and biggest for sometime
to come. Come on out on the
Hill and everybody help every-
body else have a great time.

Receives Army
Commendation
Medal In Vietnam
Vietnam-Army specialist four
Fred F. Parr Is, 20, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Hubert F. Farris Sr.
of Mc Dade, recently received the
army commendation medal near
< hu l.ai, Vietnam.
Ihe medal was awarded for

vice can be over an extended
lierlod of time or for outstanding
achievement in a single situation.
In cither case, the receplent mu
liave demonstrated skills and de-
dication far above the average.

ward while assigned as a mortar
team leader in company E. 1st
Battalion, 6th Infantry of the 23d
Infantry Division's 198th light
Infantry Brigade in Vietnam.
Ducks Hit Hard
By Long Drouth
Hunters won't find as many
mottled ducks when the season
spans this year as they did last
year, according to Charles
Stutzenbaker, project leader for
the J. D, Murphree Wildlife Man-
agement Area.
Stutzenbaker said the drought
has hit ducklings liard. There is
very little water left on the man-
agement area, and ducks are con-
centrating on the few ponds. Un-
fortunately, predators ranging
from raccoons to crabs are also
concentrating at the pools and are
taking their toll of the small
ducks.
For the past few years the area
has had excellent numbers of
breeding mottled ducks, and the
ducks had a very good nesting
success this year.
But because of the drought con-
ditions it is doubtful that many of
the small ducks will get large
enough for hunters to shoot, ac-
cording to Stutzenbaker.
Courts have decided that meteo-
rites belong to the owners of the
land on which they are found.
