No. 5
*
M
EDDY ARNOLD, the Tennessee
Plowboy, will bring his Okla-
homa Wranglers with him to 19
performances of the World Cham-
pionship Rodeo of the 1951 Hous-
ton Fat Stock Show and Live-
stock Exposition, January 31
* through February 11.
Houston, Tex., Jan. 8.—Rodeo
entertainment at the |.951 Hous-
ton Fat Stock Show and Live-
stock Exposition, January 31
through February 11, will be
second to none, President W. A.
Lee announced as he outlined
plans for the World Champion-
ship Rodeo.
Coming to Houston to pro-
duce 19 performances of the ro-
deo will be Everett El Colburn,
veteran rodeo producer of Dub-
lin, Texas. Mr. Colburn will
bring 'with him the cream of the
nation’s bucking stock.
The $45,000 total rodeo purse,
including added entry fees, is
expected to attract the top mon-
ey-makers among the United
States’ professional cowboys,
who will ride bucking broncs and
wild-eyed steers for their share
of the tremendous purse.
Two of the nation’s top enter-
tainers will star at the rodeo—
William (Hopalong Cassidy)
Boyd and Eddy Arnold, the
Tennessee Plowboy. Boyd will
also act as official starter for
the calf scramble. With Arnold
will be his Oklahoma Wranglers.
The Hendricks Family, a com-
edy team from Los Angeles, has
also been signed, complete with
their high-jumping trick mule
and other acts. Mr. Colborn has
also signed the best of the coun-
try’s trick riders and laugh-pro-
voking slowns.
The ever-popular calf scram-
ble, which sees Texas farm
youth racing for calves in a
rough and tumble* event, is set
for every performance, plus a
go-round of the cutting horse
contest. Quarter horses and
Palominos will also perform dur-
ing the rodeo.
And to keep up Texas’ repu-
tation for having beautiful cow-
girls, the Houston show is again
staging its popular rodeo queen
contest, with a rodeo princess
due to be selected at each night
performance. The princesses
will compete for the title of
rodeo queen at the concluding
show. She will also receive a
1951 Ford convertible to be pre-
sented by Earl T. McMillian, Inc.
Houston Ford dealer.
Miss Wathryn Grandstaff, a
comely * 17-year-old Robstown
girl and now a University of
Texas student, will reign as the
1951 rodeo queen.
All rodeo seats are reserved
and are going on a “first come,
first serve basis.” The seats
are priced at $3.60, $3.00, $2.80
and $2.10. Orders should speci-
fy the date tickets are wanted
or wether for a matinee on Sat-
urday and Sundays or night per-
formance. They should be ac-
companied by a check or money
order for the tickets, plus 40
cents to cover handling and re-
gistration. Mail orders should
be directed to Rodeo Ticket Di-
rector, Houston Fat Stock
Show, P. O. Box 2371, Houston,
Texas.
The Royal Neighbors met at
the home of Mrs. Max Vogt on
Monday afternoon. The attend-
ance was small due to illness

Top Judges for
Kendall County Jr.
Livestock Show
Jan. 12 and 13
T. D. Tanksley, Vocational
Ag. Instructor at Llano, who
has pleased local swine men
with his clear cut placings in
former shows, has been secured
to judge the swine classes at
the Kendall County Junior Live-
stock Show, which isc to be
held at the Fair Grounds at
Boerne next Friday and Satur-
day, January 12 and 13. Junior
exhibitors from Kendall County
have been showing top hogs at
District and larger shows for a
number of years, and there is
keen interest in this division at
the local show.
R. E. Shaver, veteran Coun-
ty Agent at New Braunfels, who
has placed the sheep and goat
classes at fairs and junir shows
here for the past few years, will
judge the fat lamb classes, and
breeding classes of sheep and
goats. With some 75 head of
fat lambs, and about 50 head of
breeding animals, he will have a
full morning placing the various
classes.
A newcomer to this area, U. D.
“Tommy” Thompson, Assistant
Animal Husbandman for the
Texas Extension Service, will be
present to place the fat steer
classes at 1:00 p. m. on Friday
afternoon. He will also judge
beef breeding animals that af-
ternoon. If time permits, he
will also place the fat steer
classes according to the new
market'grades.
Five ribbons will be awarded
in each class of animals, and in
some classes which have large
numbers of entries, cash prem-
iums will extend further down
the line than the five bottom
places. Very good quality will
run right down the line in most
of the classes..
The public is invited to be
present on Friday when all en-
tries will be judged, and for the
Auction on Saturday at 1:00 p.
m. when Mr. Earl Brewton,
owner of the Kerr County Com-
mission Company, will sell the
fat steers, lambs and capons.
The Auction sale is considered
one of the most entertaining and
interesting features of the ev-
ent.
All 4-H Club members and
FF9 Chapter members from the
Kendall County Clubs and Chap-
ters will exhibit at this Show.

that this show may include a

Secretary-Treasurer.
City Grants Rate
Increase to
Telephone Co.
A petition asking for a rate
increase from the Southwestern
Associated Telephone Company,
presented to the City Council
several months ago, was turned
back to them with the sugges-
tion that they poll their sub-
scribers and that if'as many as
70 per cent of their subscribers
expressed a willingness to pay
the new rate asked, that the
Council would grant their peti-
tion for the rate increase.
A form letter was sent out
to each of the 423 subscribers
describing the type of service
they would offer and stating
they expected to complete in-
stallation for the planned com-
mon battery telephone service
sometime in April, 1951.
Mr. Peterson, representative
of the company, appeared at the
Council meeting Monday night,
where a canvas of the vote was
made. It was found that 306 of
the 423 subscribers voted yes
and 30 subscribers voted no. 87
of the subscribers failed to re-
turn their caards.
From the canvass it was de-
termined that 74% of the sub-
scribers voted for the increase
and the Council then passed a
resolution agreeing to the new
rate schedule.
The schedule of new rates are
as follows:
Business one party service,
$6.50 per month.
Business two party service,
$5.00 per month.
Residence one party service,
$3.50 per month.
Residence two party service,
$3.00 per month.
Residence four party service,
$2.50 per month.
The Federal tax as we under-
stand it is 15% added to the
above rates.
The cost of a one party ser-
vice line in the home will be
$4.03 per month under the new
set up. The present cost of the
same service at the present time
is $2.88, an increase in service
of $1.15.
Lions Club to Aid
Civilian Defense
Program
As the first step in further-
ing the defense program, the
Boerne Lions Club will meet at
the Boerne Hospital Tuesday,
January 16 at 5:00 p. m. to have
their blood typed.
At the meeting held at Ken-
dall Inn last Tuesday, it was
brought out and heavily stress-
ed how important to each resi-
dent of Boerne and Kendall
County this information will be.
In case of aerial attack on one
of the numerous military instal-
lations in this vicinity, it is not
only conceivable but possible
that many people would be in-
jured or affected by atomic ra-
diation. One of the best known
methods of treatment of this
type of injury is that of blood
transfusions of whole blood. In
order that this may be speedily
done it is necessary that a quick
reference file be maintained
showing the type of blood each
person has in order that he or
she may quickly give or receive
blood. Speed in such a case will
result irv the saving of many
lives.
It was unanimously agreed
that the members, their wives
and children meet in a body at
the Boerne Hospital next Tues-
day night at 5:00 p. m.., after
which they will all attend a
“Family Night” meeting at
Kendall Inn. A very interesting
program is being arranged for
the enjoyment of all at the din-
ner meeting.

Spring Flowers
Just about now many seed
houses are busily mailing their
new seed and plant catalogs and
we admit the pictures descrip-
tionh are indeed enticing. Color-
ful as never before, they will
lure even the most inexperienced
garden novice to ge her paper
and pen in hand and immediate-
ly mail an order plus check.
In the intermin of dropping your
order in the mail and the arrival
of your package, you are in all
probability arranging and rear-
ranging your flower beds, if not
actually but in your imagination
with the most vulnerable spots
in mind for greater display once
the plants begin to bloom. The
ad reads thus: “Just throw your
seeds in the ground in eary
spring and within a week you
will see the fast growing plants
appear and with very little care
you will have a lovely garden of
gorgeous blooms all summer
long.” Isn’t that something to
get excited about? I’ve already
mailed my order. What about
you? /-
Mrs. E. D. Combs and Mrs.
Pat Ebensberger were .trans-
acting business in San Antonio
Tuesday.
SAYINGS
By Joachim Besen
Said a stale loaf of bread to
a loaf of bread just out of the
oven, “I don’t want to have any-
thing to do with you, because
you are too fresh.”
* * *
A young man asked his sweet-
heart’s father, “May I have
your daughter’s hand?” “No,”
said the father, “but you may
have all of her.”
* * *
Some people prophesy that
the world will come to an end,
and some of them give even the
date—well—the world will not
come to an end, because the
world is in God’s Hand.
