HICKS & CHICKS
SQUARE DANCE CLUB
By MARGARET PFEIFFER
Quail And Deer Will Be
Plentiful Game This Year
Monday evening classes at
th« VFW are progressing great
and they will be graduating on
November 1st at the High
School Ctfetorium. This is the
night when big plans are being
made for a hayride and weenie
roMt. Aft«r graduation every-
one will go out to BUI and Pat
G rube's for the fun-filled
evening. We will have many
visitors and everyone is
anticipating a great time. We
will dance under the pines out
at the Grube's. If you plan to
go, be sure and make your
reservation as we have to know
how much food to purchase for
the event.
?0n Tuesday evening some of
the Hicks and Chicks visited
the Bluebonnet Club in Austin.
Thursday evening there were
club members at the Merry
Mixers Club in Austin. Friday
evening' Mac and Elsie Ross,
Jack and Ruby Griesenbeck
and yours truly traveled with
Phil and Liz to the Red Hots
Club. After classes everyone
had a great time dancing.
Some of the club traveled up to
Fredricksburg to enjoy the first
evening with the State Camp-
ing Squares.
Saturday afternoon, Phil, Liz
and I of Hicks and Chicks and
Gary and Linda Grain of
Blue bonnets Club traveled to
Fredricksburg for the work-
shop and dance. Preceding the
dance everyone took their food
to the Recreation hall and had a
pot-luck supper. This was one
of those friendly get-togethers
where you enjoy greeting old
friends and meeting new ones.
With approximately 300 fami-
lies in the park (many in
motels), it was a real
family-affair. Children were
riding bicycles, playing games,
fishing, playing tennis, and
doing most of the things that
kids do when they are
exploring a new place. Groups
were visiting at the numerous'
trailers and resting for the
evenings entertainment. As
this was the State Camping
Squares, there were campers
from all directions present.
All callers were asked to
register in order to call a tip
during the evening dance.
After dancing, everyone enjoy
ed the after party with skits. It
was a great evening of fun and
dancing. On Sunday morning
churf services were held in
the . l creation center for all to
attend.
The challenge of horseshoes'
between the Bluebonnet Club
led by Bill Schneer and Hicks
and Chicks by Phil and Roy
Kovar was won by Bluebon-
nets, but H & C were getting
better each game. They only
needed about 10 or 12 more
games to win...

The other day an old rancher
who has seen many Hill
Country summers said: "It has
been a good year on my place.
We may not have had more rain
than usual, but every time it
be^an to get a little dry, here
would come a nice shower."
From a rancher a statement
like this means it really has
been a good year, and with a
few exceptions, it applies to the
entire Hill Country.
Rain at the right time means
a variety of vegetation, fat
cattle and deer, and good
conditions for ground nesting
birds. We have them
According to John Wood,
Parks and Wildlife Department
regional law enforcement dir
ector at Brownwood, deer are
in very good shape and a good
turkey crop has been produced.
"The dove season has been
bad," said Wood, but it is the
best quail crop I have ever
seen."
The leader of the P&WD's
wild turkey program, Horace
Gore, says this year's weather
has been particularly good for
ground - nesting birds.
He said that for the past few
years turkey populations have
been down because of poor
hatches and natural loss. Such
fluctuations are normal. This
year's hatch should build the
turkey population back to a
higher level.
"It is the year of the horns,"
says Rod Marburger, a deer
biologist at Kerrville. "Rains
came when antlers were being
developed and Hill Country
bucks are sporting the best
racks in several years. A few
areas missed rains in August
and a few deer have died, but
generally deer are in good body
condition. It all depends upon
the rain."
According to Marburger,
hunters might be wise in killing
their doe (or meat deer) first,
then spend some time looking
for the old deer with the big
rack. This way, if it doesn't rain
the hunter will get his first deer
in good body condition.
The removable glass shelves
in microwave ovens should be
washed often with warm, sudsy
water. Any food particles left
on the shelf will bake, hard and
dry. If allowed to bake on for
too long, the spills could
become so hot while the oven is
in operation that the glass could
crack, warns Mrs. Clara Curtis,
County Extension Agent.
WHY
Should You Belong
To The
BASTROP COUNTY
INDEPENDENT CATTLEMEN'S
ASSOCIATION?
An investment in i.C.A. is by far the best investment you can make.
In it's very short existence, I.C.A. has already accomplished more for the
livestock and agriculture industry than money can pay for. It is responsible
for keeping the American way of life going and preserving the individual's
right to own and operate his farm and ranch. It has saved you, the farmer
and rancher, many dollars that you otherwise would have paid in taxes or
would have not been able to earn by losing the land which you own. It has
gotten people involved and needs your involvement to make it even more
successful.
Major Accomplishments
1 In less than a year, the Independent
Cattlemen's Association has become not
only the largest livestock association in
Texas, but has the largest active mem-
bership in the United States with an excess
of 100,000 members.
2. Has informed National and State lead-
ers of livestock and agriculture problems
including the President, the (Congress, State
Legislatures, Federal and State Agency
officials and most important, the public.
3. Has put forth maximum effort to de-
feat land use legislation and were very in-
strumental in its failure
4. Sought and obtained changes in the
Emergency Livestock Loan Act benefiting
the farmer and rancher.
5. Supported the new state law prohibiting
state agencies and subdivisions from pur-
chasing and using imported beef
Supported State Legislation to tax open
space land m. its capability to produce and
not on fair market value
7 Helped organize a task force of the
heads of all agricultural organizations In
Texas that went to Washington and met
with task forces from other stat -s to work
in harmony to accomplish whatever possi
ble for agriculture as a whole
8 Responsible for stimulating greater tc
tivities by other livestock and ai<ricultur<
associations

Reports indicate that most
sections of the state have good
quail crops. The one exception
is the Coastal Prairie. Here
heavy rain not only floods
nests, but results in so much
vegetation that quail cannot
move around. In dry years the
Coastal Prairies have good
quail crops.
Gore had a bit of advice
which might improve the
turkey hunter's chances of
having a wild Christmas
turkey: "This year there will be
many young of the year
gobblers with small, hard - to -
see beards. If the hunter will
learn to identify gobblers from
their body conformation ~
brighter color, more upright
stance and more massive bone
structure - rather than beards,
he will improve his chances for
hunting success."

people to Bastrop, so if you
know of anyone who would be
interested in this sort of project
tell them about it.
Over the weekend it was my
pleasure to visit the I,ady Bird
Park in Fredricksburg, and I
was amazed at the beauty of
this beautiful park and what it
has to offer the people of
Central Texas. A beautiful golf
course, a lake and stream to
fish in plus a beautiful camping
area, tennis courts, volley ball
courts, swimming pool, and
recreation hall. I understand
that the lake could be used for
fishing, canoeing or swimming.
'Discover Texas' means just
that, and if we would only take
the time to visit our nearby
areas, we would save time and
gasoline. I was greatly impres
sed with the recreation
building. Built on a concrete
slab with roll up doors on both
sides, allowing the cool breeze
to blow through, with a nice
stage and rest room facilities. It
was large enough to accomo-
date most any group that would
be in the park. It would be the
ideal type of building for
Bastrop for a civic center, and
could be used to draw groups of
people from all parts of Texas
for entertainment. There were
trailer hook-ups and at the
present time they are adding
another 100 to what they now
have. The popularity of the
place is unbelievable. Lighted
tennis courts accomodated
players until the late evening
hours. Although I didn't play
the golf course, everyone said
that it was a very fine lay-out.
This is the ideal place to take
the family for a fun filled
weekend.
Of interest to those who
served in World War II who
have not visited the Admiral
Nimitz Museum in Fredricks-
burg, it would be well worth
your time to make this visit.
Not only is the life history of
Admiral Nimitz exhibited, but
relics of World War II are
displayed for everyone to see.
A Japanese aircraft still
showing the bullet holes,
Sergeant Lattimore's Tank, the
conning tower of the Pintado,
which sank the Tonan Maru for
the second time, the largest
Japanese merchant ship sunk
during the war. There is also a
Long-Tom, the 155 mm field
gun, and one of the USA's most
important iong range artillery
guns. Although the story tells
that it can fire a round a minute
a distance of more then 14
miles, Tracy Chalmers said that
he fired this gun during the war
and that his crew could fire
three rounds a minute. There is
a cut-away engine type used in
the B29's and many other
interesting displays too numer
ous to mention.This display is
like a history book within itself.
There are also paperback
books on the stories of the
invasion campaigns through the
islands during the Pacific
operations. Interesting for the
youngsters as well as the older
generation.

Although 1 made this trip
with a group of Square
Dancers, what the group did for
the town of Fredricksburg over
the weekend should be looked
at through the eyes of the
business community of any
town. The Lady Bird Park was
filled to overcapacity with
sell-contained campers. These
were families, not just couples,
and many of them were in town
buying gifts, food and other
necessities that they failed to
take with them. The bakery
had sold out of home made
bread by eleven o'clock
Saturday morning. The men
had a golf tournament, bringing
in green fees, cart rentals, and
snack purchases. There were
over 500 people in the camping
area, plus other visitors to the
park. Believe me. this means
money for the community and
is money that comes from
outside of the community. This
is what Bastrop, with all of its
tour and they would nd
money. When you travel you
just naturally have money thai
you are going to spend, so why
don't we get our heiuls iogethe

things that we are not gelling
