QLia
Good Morning! Are you always looking for the time to
get things done? I am. Then, I recently read: "You will
never ‘find’ time for anything. If you want time you must
‘make’ it.” That sounds like reasonable advice, which
I’m trying to follow. I hasten to add — it’s not easy.
The ALCW of Our Savior’s met Tuesday morning,
Aug. 9, at 9 a.m. It was a change from the usual
afternoon meeting, but all seemed to enjoy it. The
hostesses for this meeting were Marlene Anz, Jo Ann
Wimberly, and Jan Zuehlke. They served cold juice,
onffee cake.'3ouahnuts. and coffee. After the brunch,
the business meeting was held. Pat Harris, chairman or
the smorgaebert-eommlttee, told of their progress. Pat
is also the secretary of the ALCW, and she ‘makes’ the
time to do a fantastic job at both positions.
At this time, Esther Hatsell described the necessity of
donating to the "blanket fund.” This money is used by
Lutheran World Relief to help the needy of all nations.
There continues to be a desperate need, and this is an
opportunity to follow the example of our Lord, who was
always helping the poor and down-trodden.
The Turkey Creek Circle met Thursday, Aug. 11, at3
p.m., in the parish hall of the church. Carol Ann Pitts
was the Bible study leader at this time. The theme was
"Richand Poor.” The Bible reading was Luke 16:19-31,
which tells the story of Lazarus and the rich man. It gave
us all food for thought.
Milton (Bud) Solbert, Sr. was hospitalized Tuesday,
Aug. 9. Make time to pray for his early recovery.
Roy Freeman is home from Scott and White Hospital.
Thank you for your prayers for him and Dell Canuteson,
who is now at home.
Grace Wagner, who recently moved to Richardson
from Beuna Vista, Va., spent the weekend in our home.
She arrived Friday night.
Saturday morning, David and Becky Eiserman of
Richardson came to visit. Also, our son, Jerome, was
here. We had quite a busy weekend. The young people
went to Lake Whitney Saturday afternoon. It was a
fishing trip, but they didn’t have any luck, or maybe,
skill. Anyway, we had fried chicken rather than fried
fish. Sunday morning, the fellows went roaming and
fossil hunting, but the girls stayed to help me. That was a
blessing because there was plenty to be done. All left for
home Sunday afternoon about 3 p.m.
Next Sunday, Aug. 21, a bridal shower will be held in
the parish hall from 2:30-3:30 p.m. It is for Linda James,
bride-elect of Edwin Thiele. All the women of the church
are invited.
Perhaps, you’ll like this quote from Henry Ward
Beecher: “Any man can work when every stroke of his
hand brings down the fruit rattling from the tree to the
ground; but to labor in season and out of season, under
every discouragement, by the power of truth — that
requires a heroism which is transcendent.”

Parade To Lead Off Cen-Tex Fair
By MRS. T.N. FOSTER
Fair Assn. Reporter
CLIFTON — Everyone loves a
parade, according to the song, and
the annual parade scheduled to kick
off this year's Central Texas Youth
Fair and Rodeo should prove no
exception.
The Clifton Lions Club has charge
of the downtown parade, set for
Thursday, Aug. 25, according to Jim
Jones, who is on the agriculture and
fair committee. He is also a director
of the Central Texas Fair Associa-
tion. The parade route will be as last
year: horses assemble near Erickson
Feed Mill; floats near the fire station
or the brick apartments on the next
block (Pecan); and bands on 300
North Ave. D.
The parade begins at 6:30 p.m.
and will proceed from Live Oak and
Ave. D (main street) to 9th Street,
turn right and go to Highway 6, turn
right again and go to the traffic light
on 5th Street, proceed up 5th Street,
make a left turn onto North Ave. E
(post office), and go back to Live Oak,
and then turn right and proceed to
Ave. D, where the parade will
disband.
The Clifton Chamber of Commerce
will again provide $100 for the first
place float, with the Clifton Lions
Club awarding $60 to the second
place float, and $40 to the third place
float.
The Cl ifton Chamber of Commerce
will provide monies to participating
bands, who will vie for $50 and $30 as
first and second place. These prizes
are awarded to high school bands.
The Clifton Horse Show Club will
provide a trophy to the club with the
most riders in the parade in dress
and with club identification.
On the fair grounds, Walter
Zander and Tom Maddox will again
be on duty during the week as night
watchmen. Other reserve watchmen
will also provide security and safety.
Exhibitors having to bed down and
care for animals will have an adult in
charge of their group.
City police will assist with parade
barracades and in keeping order and
safety about the fair grounds.
Superintendents and directors will
divide their time between businesses
and a full day at the fair grounds for
the three-day event.
Expecting a sizable crowd for the
parade and rodeo, the directors have
been holding work nights for the past
several weeks. Improvements are
nearing completion on the show
arena. The exhibits building is
refurbished with stand up peg board
stands. The hamburger stand has a
roof extended to provide shade for
the tables. Bryan Gillaspie, Bobbye
Bekkelund, and W.F. (Bill) Spitzer,
Jr., were welding with Charles
Lindley and Clyde Seljos; the pair
will prepare 2700 charburgers for
hungry exhibitors and visitors. All of
these men volunteer their time on the
project.
Exhibitors and their winning ani-
mals will have pictures made in front
of a plyboard painted by Kaye
Prescher. Lettering will be done by
Doug Railsback.
Inside the livestock barn and hog
barn, the fill will be roto-tilled by the
superintendent. Amenities include
free trips to the washracks, some
hay, and music every night.
