Although I mad the T. C. SERVICE letter in last week's
ANVIL HERALD, I’m a bit confused as to whom to
credit with the sure-enough rains that made repeat
performances last Friday night, Saturday, Sunday and
Monday. Dr O. B Taylor was probably involved
somewhere.
/ do know that EUNICE [Mrs. B L] KOLLMAN was
“cut off at the pass" Saturday and Sunday. Other Tarpley
Road regular commuters-to-Hondo probably were in the
same situation.
Oat crop farmers must have rejoiced. I don t know what
effect rain at this season has on other field crops. I do
remember that my parents, having lived through the
extreme hardships of a Texas 7-year drouth, when South
Texas stockmen lost herds of cattle, sheep and goats and
when well water was almost rationed, were of the opinion
that rain any time was a cause for rejoicing.
And, MATTHEW V:45 reminds us: "He maketh his
sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth ram on
the just and unjust. ”

Even though I am no longer a constituent in the 21st
District represented by the [neu'J Congressman BOB
KRUEGER, I did read his First Report from Washington,
word for word and with interest.
I hope other readers made note of his phone numbers in
WDC and New Braunfels Might come in handy some
time. Get his WDC address, also, and keep him in touch
with how things are going on the home front.
Acknowledging that “high inflation, deepening reces-
sion, uncertainty about our national direction— are
among our problems", (’ongressman KRUEGER adds a
reassuring "But improvement lies within our power.

The subject of politics is "Greek " to me but 1 am
rereading Aristotle's POLITIC S, Books III-V. On
Interpretation", Chapters 1-10, as a "refresher to the
Great Books study of too many years ago to be
remembered at this late date.
Aristotle might have had some of today’s politics in
mind when he wrote "Politics" t way back yonder in
384-322 B C after studying 158 constitutions. That was
really doing his home work!

On Monday night, Jan. 27, over one hundred [107]
persons attended the 1975 Camp Fire annual dinner
Won’t WARD (Mrs. Paul] POPE be pleased about that
when she returns from Hawaii?
Don't look for a repeat dinner "EVE HY" Monday night
even if the type gremlins [usually to blame] did say that in
the headline.

The local grocery stores make wonderful meeting places
to greet folks and get bits of news. At GAM, I had a
too-short visit with ALICE |Mrs. C. J) PICHOT because
it was a busy Saturday and the cash register was working
overtime for a steady stream of customers.
She commented [favorably] on the 1904-05 items that
filled most of that week s A S W and said they had supplied
information she had been looking for Alice is trying to
bring family history current for present and future
generations of the Pichot family, whose original home {f6e
Mimke Saathoff Ranch] has had a share in Medina
County’s growth since 1846.
Alice said that RICHARD BALZEN, now of S. A. had
made for her some covered bowls of wood cut from bois
d are [ "bodark ") frees, probably as old as the ranch itself
• • •
At NESTER’s, MARILYN [Mrs Bob] NESTER was,
as usual, busy at her desk but paused long enough, when I
asked about the family, to tell me that ALL the children
were finally in high school, a time she used'to think
"would never come. "
• * *
MRS. ROBERT [Ve//ie] MUMME was shopping at
H E.B She still retains a happy sense of humor. Because
the family "mostly grow” what they eat, she said she can
keep food expenses down a bit.
"Meat, especiudy," she said. "Too much of it on the
market is filled with ’embalm-ments’ anyway." --And, I
learned there IS such a word!!
* * *
In the same center of weekend shopping, I met the
JUAN and GLORIA PALACIOS family. Their two small
sons are ISMAEL (4] and NICOLAS (3) and both want
“to grow up and work like Daddy" who is employed at
Sigmor Shamrocl
Juan is a brother of FRANK PALACIOS, whom I have
known since the old days at the ANVIL HERALD
* * *
Later, I met the LEONARD [Georgia] SAATHOFF
family and their two winsome daughters, ANNETTE [81,
a student at Meyer Elementary and her 5-year old sister
LEANNE who “loves" school at the Strunk-Duncan
Kindergarten.
Leonard has been “going steady” with the Texas
Highway Department for 18 years.

The RICHARD KISBY family of New Braunfels were
recent visitors to our Medina County Museum and were
delighted with the displays. They were accompanied by
their children, TAMMY [73j who hopes to become an
airline stewardess "some day"; RICKY [12] who might
consider the army "later on"; and LORI [10] who, after
seaing the TA YLOR dental office in the Museum said that
she thought she’d like to be a dental technician "in a
modem, new office, of course. ”
m, Wh™™^KiHby, Saw the old MA YTAG wsher [Serial
No. 437664K], in the Museum's remember-when kitchen,
she told me that her mother-in-law had one "just like it" in
Clifton, Kansas. She promised to get more details and
write to me after her next visit to Kansas.
