DeMontel’s celebrates 37th year
Quihi sausage supper set Oct. 1
i-
The furniture industry is
about to stage the most
spectacular sales event in its
history here and across the
nation, and the consumer
will be the beneficiary.
From September 29th
through October 8 th, retail
stores here and throughout
the country, including
DeMontel’s located at 1510
Ave. M in Hondo, will
participate in the National
Furniture Sale and Sweep-
stakes.
According to Ralph
DeMontel, President of
DeMontel’s, never before
has the entire industry -
Manufacturers, stores and
everyone involved with furn-
iture - worked so hard to
bring such an outstanding
sales event to the consumer.
‘The time is perfect for a
sale of this magnitude,” he
said, “because the public’s
pent-up need to revitalize
their homes has reached its
zenith at exactly the time
when the stores and manu-
facturers will be giving them
the best values and the
largest selections of truly
trend-setting, quality furni-
ture available in many, many
years.”
“As if this weren’t
enough,” he continued, “the
National Sweepstakes part
of this event offers con-
sumers a chance to win big.
Tens of thousands of dollars
in sweepstakes prizes are
being offered nationally.
Consumers need only come
into a participating store and
register to be eligible to win.
No purchase is necessary, of
course.”
He went on to point out
that with the recovering
economy, and with these
outstanding values, the fam-
ily putting off a purchase of
home furnishings will find
this the optimum time to
buy.
“We - like furniture retail
stores all over the country -
are expecting a flood of
customers ready to take
advantage of this rare oppor
tunity,” DeMontel said.
He advised customers that
not every retail store is
participating in the National
Furniture Sale and Sweep-
stakes, but participating
stores will be displaying the
red and black symbol of the
sale prominently in their
windows.
In conjunction with the
National Sales Sweepstakes,
DeMontel’s is celebrating its
37th Anniversary with
added specials to let you
take home the furniture
you’ve been wanting, along
with additional prizes to be
awarded locally.
Students told4
Some 500 Hondo High
School students gave a
standing ovation to two
convicts from the Texas
Department of Corrections
Tuesday.
The reason? The students
were advised not to make
the mistakes “we made early
in our lives”.
Martin and Donald spoke
to students at the high
school and McDowell School
as part of a program started
15 years ago by TDC in an
effort to keep young people
from winding up in prison.
TDC Community Educa-
tion Director George Lively
told the students that in an
audience of that size at least
one person will wind up in
prison. “This isn’t a reflec-
tion on the school or
community, it’s just a sad
fact.”
"Criminals aren’t bom.
They don’t take their future
seriously, they follow the
crowd and get in trouble,”
Lively said.
■ Martin of Tyler is serving
‘ an eight-year sentence for
arson which caused $6 mil-
lion in damage to a school.
He told the attentive
students that he was first
arrested at age 13 for
burglary. He served a pro-
bated sentence and then got
into a fight, quit school at
age 17 and then went back.
"Then I got into a fight at
school over having beer in
the car,” Martin said. T was
charged with a Class C
misdemeanor. Before my
court date, some “friends’
and I broke into school.
When I realized a fire had
been started I ran off, but it
was too late.”
He said it wasn’t long
before he was arrested and,
with his record, he knew
he’d be sentenced.
Donald, who is serving a
10-year sentence for bur-
glary, told the students that
his life went wrong because
he made the wrong de-
cisions.
“I hung around with the
wrong crowd,” he said.
‘They had a car and I
thought that meant a good
time.
“I quit school at 15 and
started pulling burglaries to
buy drugs. My mother tried
to straighten me out and
later, my wife tried.”
Donald said he knew
stealing was wrong, but he
thought prison was for
someone else.
He told the students about
the things they take for
granted, like seeing family
and friends and having
freedom to come and go.
“I’ve only seen my one
year old son 10 days - on
two five-day furloughs,”
Donald said. “And my three-
year-old cries and asks me
not to go when I have to
return to prison.
“Don’t feel sorry for me
though - just think about
your future.”
Lively concluded the pro-
gram by saying that if “you
decide to live your own life,
be prepared to take the
consequences.”

WHAT DO I DO NOW?...

Football fanatics
face frustration
MARTIN...an inmate at the
Texas Department of Cor-
rections, spoke to students
at McDowell School, and
Hondo High School Tuesday,
advising them to avoid a life
of crime.
A generally rough outing
this past week for our
fearless fanatics, as their
records ranged from 13-7 to
9-11.
Berger continued to pull
away from the pack, much to
his amazement (and amuse-
ment ), and W ilson was heard
to say, “As long as Hondo,
Texas, and Dallas win, I’ll be
happy.”
The most frustrating
games this week for the
ego-brigade, were Natalia-
Sabinal (a clean sweep by
Sabinal, a clean shutout by
Natalia), Houston-Oregon,
and Arkansas-Ole Miss.
Cougar High (15-14 loser)
and Pig U. (13-10 loser)
should be ashamed of them-
selves, representing the
Southwest Conference so
poorly.
Rice won a game!!! They
beat SW Louisiana 22-21.
That game, along with
Iowa’s 20-14 win over Ohio
St., Maryland’s 13-10 win
over Pitt, and the 49ers
24-20 win over the Falcons,
helped Berger to widen his
lead.
Johnson and Berger say,
‘We’re never picking the
Oilers again!”

Medina County farmers
and ranchers now have a
store where they can
purchase and service their
equipment, because
brothers Claude and James
Highsmith and their father
Melton are opening their
very own Highsmith Farm
and Ranch Store around the
end of this month, on
Highway 90 East.
“We’re going to sell
tractor parts and implement
parts,” —id Claude High-
smith. The business will
feature f» Goodyear tire
store; a welding shop, owned
by Russell Hermes; and a
farm repair shop, owned by
Doug Samford. Hermes and
Samford will be subleasing
their space.
Highsmith explained that
he had been a parts manager
at John Deere, “and when
they left town, I thought I’d
do this.”
“We started talking about
it (the store) four months
ago,” he said, “and about a
month and a half ago, we got
going and got our foundation
in. And now, we’re about 90
percent complete.”
Medina County hunters
and landowners will find
that there has been only one
change brought about thus
far by the W ildlife Conserva-
tion Act of 1983: an extra
spring season for hunting
turkeys.
Turkeys can be hunted
during three seasons this
year. Bow hunters get a
head start from Oct. 1
through Oct. 30 while the
regular season runs from
Nov. 12 through Jan. 1. Both
seasons have a limit of two
gobblers or bearded hens.
During the new spring
season, Apr 14 through
Apr. 29, hunters are allowed
to shoot one gobbler.
There is no closed season
set for javelina and squirrel.
While there is no limit on
squirrel, hunters are allowed
only two javelina.
Quail season runs from
Oct. 29 through Jan. 29.
Hunters are limited to 16
birds per day and are
allowed not more than 48
birds in their possession at
one time.
Bow hunters can begin
hunting for deer Oct. l
through Oct. 31. All other
hunters must wait for
regular season which runs
Nov. 12 through Jan. l.
Hunters are allowed three
deer, with a one-buck limit.
Antlerless permits are not
required for bow hunting;
however, the permits must
be used by regular season
hunters. Spike bucks are fair
Catch the aroma of coun-
try-style sausage simmering
in old-fashioned cast iron
kettles and mingling with
the fragrance of other
freshly-made delights such
as potato salad, cole slaw,
and some of the finest
homemade cakes you can
find anywhere...are you
hungry yet?
If the idea of a old-
fashioned dinner-on-the-
grounds church picnic on a
cool autumn evening adds
even more appeal, then be
sure to circle Saturday, Oct.
1, on your calendar. You
wouldn’t want to miss the
annual Quihi Bethlehem
Lutheran Church Sausage
Supper
For a nominal $3.50, the
folks at Quihi will dish up a
plate full of sausage, potato
salad, cole slaw and beans
enough to satsify the biggest
appetite. And to finish off
the meal, a generous slice of
cake and all the tea or coffee
you can drink Food will be
served between 5:30 and
8:30 p.m.
After your meal, you can
browse through the bazaar
and take your pick of the
many handmade items and
homemade baked and
canned goods offered for sale
by the ladies of the church
To keep the children enter-
tained for a while, let them
visit the fish pond while'you
browse And if you get
thirsty again, the church's
teenagers will have sodas
available
At 7:30 p.m there will be
a drawing for a number of
prizes, including a beautiful
handmade quilt and an
afghan, a 48-quart cooler, a
bun server, fan, $50 beef
certificate, two $50 prizes,

An issuance date for

nounced; however, notice
will be given as soon as
Game Warden Shorty
Anderson receives word on
the dates.
‘The deer should be in
real good shape this year,”
said Anderson. “We’ve got a
good acorn crop and the
recent rains have revitalized
the grasses. Antler develop-
ment looks good, too.”

Friday evening the
4-H program
celebrates
‘its week9
“4-H Building on Experi-
ence” is the yearlong theme
of the 4-H program in Texas
and across the nation, and
that theme will get special
emphasis during National
4-H Week, October 2-8.
A number of local
activities and programs are
being planned to support the
4-H theme, says Kathy
Nowakowski, county 4-H
program coordinator with
the Texas Agricultural Ex-
tension Service, Texas A&M
University System
“4-H: Building on Experi-
ence” highlights the educa-
tional projects which help
young people gain practical
skills, develop good nutrition
and health habits, explore
career opportunities, gener-
ate leadership capabilities,
and become involved as
citizens in their local com-
munities, the state and the
nation.
The 4-H program is built
on experiences of an impres-
sive past, points out
Nowakowski. By providing
useful knowledge to help
youths develop as leaders of
tomorrow, 4-H has enabled
~ many young people to gain
insights and experiences in
careers they would enjoy.
4-H has also contributed to
international understanding
through exchange programs
with countries around the
world.
