In Traffic Accident
Friday Afternoon
Last Friday shortly after
noon, the pickup truck
driven by Anton E. Stryk of
Flatonia was struck by a
large van-type truck, own-
ed by ATA of Fort Worth
at the traffic light in the
eastern part of downtown
Flatonia. The pavement
was wet at the time from
recent light rains.
Deputy Sheriff August
Brunner was checking an-
other accident nearby when
this crash occurred. He re-
quested assistance from Pa-
trolmen Swann and Wilki-
son of Schulenburg, who ar-
rived at the scene within a
few minutes for the inves-
tigation.
The loaded pickup, driven
by Stryk, was crossing
Highway>*90 and was going
north at 4he time of the im-
pact. The larger truck was
traveling east on Highway
90. Stryk suffered cuts on
his hand, arm, and head,
which required some 20
stitches to close. He is do-
ing nicely at this time; hos-
pitalization was not re-
quired, fortunately.
Extensive damage was
suffered by both vehicles;
broken glass on the road
was a hazard for a time. Mr.
Brunner stated that he ap-
preciated the city’s assis-

Garbade To Lead

L. G. Garbade has been
appointed chairman of the
1963 Texas A&M College
Development Fund Drive
for Flatonia. The appoint-
ment was made by the exec-
utive board of the Associa-
tion of Former Students of
Texas A&M.
A graduate of A&M of
the class of 1932, Mr. Gar-
bade is an active member
of the association and a
leader among A&M former
students.
The A&M Development
Fund is the means through
which former students and
friends provide financial
support for the College to
meet important needs not
covered by state funds.
“ A partial list of projects
being supported through
the 1963 fund program in-
cludes student scholarships,
graduate fellowships, re-
search funds, faculty
awards, teacher and staff
supplementation, a fund
for academic excellence and
a college contingency fund.
The local campaign will
be held between April 15
and June 1. It will be one
of 300 drives held in cities
in Texas and the South-
west.

March 21. I went back to
the Warda area to work on
the burglary and then went
to Flatonia on business. We
also went out near Ruters-
ville with Judge Smith to
hold an inquest, and also
one drunk jailed.
March 22. Investigating a

March 23. We made a

ity—that’s for old popple,”
is a frequent comment
heard from workers in their
thirties and forties. ’
"But recently, two "fam-
ilies, discovered that, social
security concerns younger
people, too. After working
20 years, a 42-year-old ma-
chinist suffered a heart at-
tack and became unable to
work. He filed a claim for
disability insurance bene-
fits at the social security of-
fice in Austin, and now a
check for $254 arrives each
month, the disability bene-
fit for himself, his wife, and
their three children.
Another family in this
community found out re-
cently that social security is
important to people of all
ages. When a 25-year-old
father was killed in an auto
accident, his widow and
young son became entitled
to monthly survivors bene-
fits which will continue un-
lil the boy reaches age 18.
At that time payments will
stop, but the widow’s bene-
fits will resume when she
reaches 62, if she has not
remarried.
Social security protects
you during, as well as after,
i your working years. Ihe.
amount of your benefit will
depend on the money yon
have earned during your
working years. You cannot
collect any kind of benefits
unless you apply for them.
If you think you are en-
titled to social security ben-
efits, visit your social secur-
ity office to find out what
benefits can be paid to you.
