Donald Snyder underwent
aurgery for the second time at
Hendrick Memorial Hospital,
Abilene, last Thursday.
Cross Plains
Here Friday
Evening
The Albany Lions became
District 1 ft - A ch'imnions Fri-
day niehf. when they beat the
Baird Bears I 1 6 on the rairi-
soaked Baird football field.
The Baird Hears proved to
be a tough aggregation, led by
a very fine fullback named
Richard Windham. The Lions
can expect to see more of this
fine 1()5 - pound player next
year, as he is a junior. Baird
has 14 juniors ori their squad,
according to F.llsworth Mayer,
editor of the Baird Star.
Statistics-wise, the Lions out-
played the Hears all night, but
the mud, standing water where
the boys often washed the mud
off their hands, and the slick
ball held thern at bay time and
again. The wet field also got
their timing off, causing AI
hany to get a number of costly
penalties. The Lions gained 282
varrls rushing to Baird's 58,
but Baird connected with three
passes for 47 yards to Albany's
two for 33.
Final Cnrne Friday
Final fame of the regular
season will be played Friday
night when the Cross Plains
Buffaloes come to Albany. Thej
Buffaloes have yet to win a
district game, but they will be
trying to upset the Lions. Game
time is 7 :ftft.

Charlie Brewster, Albany's!

the ball 23 times for 154 yards,
broke away for two long gain-
ers, one for 4ft yards and a
touchdown iri the second per-

Named Texas Lutheran
Woman of Year at Austin
Friday, Nov. X, Mrs. August
Schkade received the Texas
Lutheran Woman of the Year
award at Concordia College,
in Austin. All Missouri Synod
Lutheran congregations in the
state have the option to nom-
inate one of their outstand ng
women for this honor. From
the many nominations that
were made, Mrs. August
Schkade was elected as the
most deserving of this honor
for 11163. Nominations are
made on the basis of total
Christian character, service to
the church, to the home and
community. Following is the
letter of nomination which
Rev. Ernst R. Pflug, pastor of
Trinity Lutheran Church, sent
to the election committee:
"I would like to nominate
Mrs. August Schkade as Texas
Lutheran Woman of the Year
for 1963. She is a woman who
shows that her faith in the
Lord Jesus is more than words
—in her home, church and
community. The fact that two
sons graduated into the Luth-
eran teaching ministry this
past year is evidence of her ex-
ample in the home. Another
son is presently attending Con-
cordia College, Austin, in pre-
paration for the Holy Minis-
try. Because she opened her
home to them, many a Thanks-
giving and Christmas recess
was just n little brighter for
students at Concordia who
were too far from home to
spend the holidays at home.
"Her service to the Lord in
the church is untiring and al-
ways pleasant. She is active
in the local evangelism group
called the Fishermen's Club,
lends her voicc to the Savior
in choir work, is an ofTirer of
the local t.WML, and teaches
j the Savior's little ones in Sun-
day school. She is one of
I those rare members who calls
the pastor to find out if any i
sick or delinquent members
need to be visited, or if there
are any prospects to be called
upon. It is not an unusual
sifht to see her in an automo-
bile on a Sunday afternoon,'
visiting people in the Savior's
stead.
"Though she does not hold
any office in the community,
the mention of her name to
people of the community
brings a warm smile of respect
and esteem.
| "The most noble person on
earth is full of sin and shot
through with shortcomings, but
by the grace of God it can be
said of Margaret, that she does
a splendid job of keeping her
sins a secret between herself
and her forgiving God in Jesus
I Christ."
| Members of the congrega-
tion are happy and rejoice with
her, and the people of Albany
are proud that this honor has
fallen on one of our citizens.
Mrs. R. E. Orick of Peacock
was here Tuesday to visit her
sister, Mrs. J. J. Talbott, and
Mr. Talbott.
