BOYS RODEO
A lot of people and a lot ot
fun were seen at the Kendall
County Fair grounds last Mon-
day afternoon. This was the
first event of this kind to be
held there, and with the en-
couragement that the boys got,
we are sure we will have more
of these entertainments later
In the calf riding, we find
that Lohman Blaize surprised
himself by winning first mon-
ey, Burley Fellows, second, and
Billy Leal, third.
In the calf roping, tie down,
Burley Fellows, first, and Bur-
ley also won first in the Break
Away. . __r
In the bell calf roping, Wal-
lace Learson, first, Bobbie
Nuetze, second, and Burley
Fellows, third.
In the girls flag race, we see
Joan Smith, first, Doris Fabra,
second, and Joan Cunningham,
third. ,,
Iin the Armadillo race, the
President of the F. F. A. chap-
ter winning first place, Edgar
Rust, second and Daniel Young,
third. ___
In the Pony Race, Wallace
Learson, first, Louis Saur, sec-
ond, and Joan Cunningham,
third. „ _ ,
Boys Flag Race, uBrley Fel-
lows, Wallace Learson, and
Billy Joe Fellows, placing in
that order.
You might have noticed that
we didn’t have to go out of the
County to get good adult ropers
because we had plenty of these
Kendall County boys here, and
they were all good. In the tie
down, Victor Schmidt, first,
Burley Fellows, second, Harold
Ranzau, third.
In the Break Away, Victor
Schmidt, first with 3 seconds,
Harold Ranzau, second with 3.3
seconds, and Walter Soell, third
with 4.1 seconds.
In the Ladies Flag Race,
Edna Rackley, first, Jo Ann
Smith, second, and Gloria
Weidner third.
The boys making rides on
horses were Roy Moreau, Bob-
Moss-
bie Neutze, and Bubba
buger.
And in that mad^ pig scram-
ble, we see Johnnie Graham
taking home the bacon.
If the F.* * F. A. boys had
looked all over Texas for grown
people to help them and to
furnish the stock and every-
thing else that was furnished,
there couldn’t have been a bet-
ter bunch picked than those
that were doing the many var-
ious jobs.
All of the stock and all of
the help was donated. The
names are too numerous to
mention in this article, but to
each of them as well as those
who were spectators, the
Boerne F. F. A. Boys say,
MANY, MANY, THANKS ....

STATE TEACHERS
ASSOCIATION
MAKES REPORT
The Texas State Teachers
Association has just completed
a survey among city and
county school superintendents
to determine the condition in
the public schools of Texas.
Replies were received from
1,038 superintendents repre
senting 35,874 teaching po-
sitions or about 78% of the
total in Texas. The turnover in
the teacher personnel in the
public schools for this year is
the greatest in our history.
9,272 teachers or more than
25% were new in their job
when school opened this fall.
Ol the teachers included in
the survey, 5,730 were listed
with sub-standard qaulifica-
tions which represents 1 out of
each 6 in the state. Superinten-
dents reporting stated that
they had in their scshool sys-
tems 2,157 classes with a stu-
dent enrollment of 40 or more.
The national standard for en-
rollment is 27 students in high
school classes and 30 in elemen-
tary classes. This overcrowded
condition has resulted from the
shortage of teachers and, in
many instances, a lack of ade-
quate classrooms.
Today, Texas needs at least
9,000 qualified teachers to re-
lieve our overcrowded class-
rooms, to add to the curriculum
many subjects that have been
eliminated during the war
years, and to replace sub-stan-
dard personnel.

VETERAN LAND BONDS
APPROVED
Texans approved an amend-
ment to the Texas state consti-
tution providing $25,000,000 in
bonds for purchase of land for
sale to veterans in special elec-
tion Thursday by approximate-
ly three to one.
The final tabulation Thurs-
day night showed 43,878 votes
for the amendment and 15,780
against. It was estimated that
half the ballots had been count
ed, indicating one of the light-
est votes in Texas election his-
tory.
Duval County achieved dis-
tinction of casting 3,787 votes
for the amendment and none
against, with 11 of the coun-
ty’s 14 boxes canvassed. .Cald-
well, Ellis and Hale counties
reported that no elections were
held there.
It was estimated that only
about 4 per cent of the eligible
voters in larger cities went to
the polls and in counties of
