LOCAL SCHOOL
TO ADD COURSE
IN BUSINESS
Theory, Plus Actual
Practice On Job,
Will Be Provided
The La Grange high school
will offer a course of distribu-
tive education to students of
the Junior and Senior class
next year.
The distributive education
course is designed to give high
school students technical know-
ledge and practical experience
in retail, wholesale and service
businesses. The La Grange
Lions Club will cooperate with
the school in securing mer-
chants and business men who
will employ the students on a
part time basis.
Students will spend half of
each day in school taking the
usual course, including a
course in “Distributive Educa-
tion.’’ The course is made up
of basic topics which have
been recommended by advis-
ory groups of businessmen.
Such subjects as accuracy in
arithmetic and English, selling,
good customer service, and
correct business behavior are
taught.
The program gives equal
emphasis to special assign-
ments designed to train stu-
dents to give an above-average
performance on their particular
jobs
Afternoons and Saturdays,
the D. E. students will work
for cooperating business firms,
gaining practical experience,
and applying the lessons which
they have learned in school.
Older employees and man-
agers will provide helpful
guidance, and the coordinator
of D. E. will follow up on the
suggestions made by these
training sponsors. The stu-
dent’s work experiences will
govern the assignments which
are to be made by the co-
ordinator in the classroom.
Mayor Cites Progress During Term
Having served on your City
Council for the past 17 years,
eight of these years as your
Mayor Pro-Temp, and the past
two years as your Mayor, I
feel it is time to give you a
picture of the accomplishments
that were attained. To inform
the citizens of La Grange what
has happened, we will try to
cite some of the accomplish-
ments and how the administra-
tive affairs have been adminis-
tered.
Administering the affairs of
a city the size of La Grange
is equivalent to a one million
dollar corporation. The city
owns and operates the follow-
ing properties: light, ice and
water plant, stand pipe, stor-
age and water mains valued
noW at around $528,000.00;
city hall and fire station, $40,-
000.00; Fair Park around $28,-
000.00; warehouse properties
and machinery, $20,000.00; City
Park, $5,000.00; City Library,! During the past two years,
$2,000.00; dump ground, $1,-1 your city has made much
000.0; and sewage disposal I headway. The administration
plant and sewer lines, around has topped four blocks in the

earrings and Rose Janda talked

ponsibility meeting the many
daily problems in the operation
of the various departments,
along with the constant thought,
in mind of improvements, ad-

F-M Road Suggested
North To Lee Co.
Otto C. Eckfel, in a letter
addressed to the commission-
ers’ court, suggests that the
area’s next farm-to-market
road should be built from the
northern tip of La Grange
northward to the Lee county
line.
Mr. Eckel says that area has
many fine dairy and poultry
farms and ranches and in addi-
tion is rich in natural resources
such as oil, gas, lignite and
others.
He urges early considera-
tion to such a project.

residence and extinguished the

was because of trouble in the
sirene, not because of fires.

double wedding ring cake de-
corated with gold rosebuds and
clusters of gold wedding bells.
It was placed on a mirror re-
flector encircled with net. At

To Boys 8 To 12

mine met at La Grange Thurs-
day night to discuss the pos-
sibilities of organizing a Little
League Baseball league in this

This type of baseball has be-

on younger boys. Only boys
from 8 to 12, inclusive, are
eligible to participate, other-
wise, with only a few excep-
tions, it is played like regular
baseball. Games are played in
the late afternoon of week
days. Play should begin as
early as April 1 and continue
for an eighteen game series,
possibly two games per week.
Coach A1 Winters and John-
nie Miksch of Weimar, Henry
McDonald and Dr. Parker of
Giddings and Les Blume of
La Grange were present. Wil-
liam Graeber spoke for Car-
mine but was not able to stay
for the meeting. Schulenburg
and Columbus were prospec-
tive entries to form a six-team
league but were not represent-
ed.
Another meeting will be held
in the near future for further
discussion of rules and regula-
tions. Any interested person
is welcome to attend.
