THE BOERNE STAR
Thursday, December 1, 1955
No other car performs like a Pontiac be-
cause Pontiac alone has the Strato-Streak
V-8—most modern and efficient power plant
in the industry. And for 1956 this great en-
gine delivers 227 blazing horsepower with
an ease and smoothness that must be ex-
perienced to be believed. For the “go” of
the year, go Pontiac.
MUSIC LOVERS’ CLUB
As the Music Lovers’ Club’s
annual cultural contribution to
the beauty and enjoyment of the
holiday season, a Christmas
Contata will be presented by
Kenneth Triesch in the First
Baptist Church Auditorium at
7:30 Tuesday night, December
13.
Mr. Triesch, a baritone and
director of a prominent church
choir in New Braunfels, has en-
tertained the Music Lovers Club
in the past. Since club members
were thoroughly impressed with
his performances, they are of-
fering this musical treat to the
public. There will be no admis-
sion charge.
The numbers offered by Mr.
Triesch and his choir will in-
clude the following:
“So Appears Thy Natal Day”
—Bach.
“Recitative and Aria from
the Messiah”—Handel — (Ken-
neth Triesch, Baritone.)
“The First Christmas”—Rich
ter (a cantata for treble voices
based on familiar carols.)
“Come to the Stable”—O’-
“The Birthday of a King —
Neidlinger.
“Jesu Bambino”—Yon.
“0, Holy Night”—Adam
(Kenneth Triesch, Baritone.)
Misses Margaret Ann and
Linda Carol Burrier of San
Antonio, spent the weekend with
their grandparents, Mr. and Mrs.
Cecil Noah.
Mr. and Mrs. George Fager-
quist and son Steven of Dallas,
visited with Col. and Mrs. Joe
Speight on Thanksgiving and
through the weekend.
The testimony of a good con-
science is worth more than a
dozen character witnesses.
Purr along peacefully...or pour it on to pass
Let’s say you have just logged an extra-long
day’s mileage in your ’56 Pontiac. Your clock
tells you it’s time to stop for the night.
Then it comes to you. You don’t want to
stop! You just want to keep on and on, pilot-
ing this sweet, singing beauty wherever fancy
points.
Sound like a wonderful dream? It hap*
pens time and again to owners of this fabu-
lous new car. And the lure that leads them
on and on is the exciting performance of
Pontiac’s great new Strato-Streak V-8 engine
. . . the most thrilling performance on the
American highway.
Traffic’s a delight in this agile car. Power
flows smooth as oil when you leave a light,
and with the sharp authority of 227 blazing
“horses”. Brakes respond with crisp, new
certainty. The wheel answers fast as pointing
your finger. You’re driving with a confidence
you’ve never felt before!
And highway touring is pure pleasure!
You swing the curves with new sure-footed
certainty . . . dear a high hill or sweep
safely past a loiterer on the road with tke
happy assurance that you command the
greatest “go” on wheels.
And when you settle down to cruising
speed on an open highway—that’s the real
payoff on your good judgment! This is liv-
ing in a wonderful new way. Driving's excil*
ing again!
Come in and try it—you can prove it in 10
minutes as easily as in 10 hours. And you’ll
prove something else . . . Pontiac’s glamour
matches its “go”—it’s the greatest on the roadl

Boerne, Texas
Did you ever try conserving
moisture by planting every oth-
er drill row when you. sow sudan
grass ?
Adolf Theis, four miles north-
west of Boerne, says that he
made a fair hay crop this year
by using this method. He be-
lieves that the plants have less
competition for moisture since
the drill rows are farther apart.
Why not try this method
when the moisture is limited as
it is at this time?

“Grass and Cedar”
Eugene Wahl, who operates
the D. P. Ranch northeast of
Boerne, can show you some nice
grass grown even during this
dry year. Dick Prassel, owner
of the ranch, had some cedar
cut early this past spring. He
intended to burn it, but was a-
fraid the fire would get away
from them. So the cedar was
left laying all year. They also
deferred the pasture all sum-
mer. With a combination of the
brush to help conserve moisture
and protect the soil from the
hot sun, plus complete rest, the
grass had a chance to take ad-
vantage of a large percentage of
available moisture. This prov-
es two things, brush left on
the ground is beneficial and a
rest will definitely pay follow-
ing clearing.
♦ * * *
Hondo Crouch reports a
good supply of winter forage on
his Black Creek ranch. This is
the result of deferring two pas-
tures during the past year. One
pasture is still resting and will
be held in reserve and stock
have just recently been moved
into the other pasture. Deferr-
ing a pasture during the sum-
mer for winter use is good in-
surance.
SLOW DOWN AND LIVE!
If everyone who drives a car
Could live a month in bed,
With broken bones and stitched
up wounds
Or fractures of the head.
And there endure the agonies
That many people do,
They’d never need preach safety
Any more to me or you.
If everyone sould stand beside
The bed of some close friend
And hear the Doctor say “no
hope”
Before that fatal end,
And see him there unconscious
Never knowing what took
place,
The laws £nd rules of traffic
I’m sure we’d soon embrace.
If everyone could meet
The wife and children left
behind
And step into the darkened
home
Where once the sunlight
shined,
And look upon the “Vacant
Chair”
Where daddy used to sit,_
I am sure each reckless driver
Would be forced to think a
bit.
If everyone who takes the wheel
Would say a little prayer,
And keep in mind those in the
car
Depending on his care,
And make a vow and pledge
himself
To never take a chance,
The Great Crusade for Safety
. Would suddenly advance.

Easy Coins
A Quick Profit
Hear about Easy Roberts last
Friday? I helped him count his
money—both before and after—
so believe me, the story’s true.
Easy was on the way to the
bank to deposit his “cookie jar”
savings—exactly $24.95 in nick-
els, dimes and quarters. He had
them in a paper bag and as we
crossed Main Street the bottom
fell out.
Money went flying. Passers-by
pitched in to help recover the
coins. Later on when Easy count-
ed up, he had $25.05. The “search
party” had turned up all of
Easy’s money plus ten cents
someone else had lost!
From where I sit, I wouldn’t
want to try this “Easy” way to
make Ihoney. Usually, it takes
time for a bank roll to grow ...
just as it takes time for a friend-
ship to grow. But by respecting a
neighbor’s rights—including his
right to drink coffee, tea, beer or
buttermilk, whichever and when-
ever he chooses—it’s wonderful
the solid friendship you can build.
You can “bank” on that.
