said, and that of the hospital

to do so, many requirements

Smithville To Host
Jamboree Saturday
A full day of entertainment
is in store for visitors at the
Colorado Valley Jamboree in
Smithville Saturday, April 19,
according to F. H. Schaller,
overall chairman.
Briefly, the day’s events will
include the annual FTA pro-
ject show and sale, parachute
jumping by the University of
Texas Parachute club, the
Smithville Garden club flower
show, a Home Demonstration
show, two band concerts, a
mile-long parade, stage show at
the high school and dance at
the American Legion hall at
night with coronation of a
jamboree queen.
“Campus Capers of 1958,”
the annual variety show of the
La Grange High School band,
played to partisan audiences
here Friday and Monday
nights, and the entertainment
proved both amusing and de-
lightful.
Scene of the fun and music
festival was the high school
KVm, with the setting styled as
“LHSB-TV,” denoting a tele-
vision station background.
John Daniel Marburger serv-
ed as announcer, while Walter
Schaefer, Donna Roitsch, Lau-
rel Maas, Vickie Hartfield, E-
laine Wiemken, Bennie Svobo-
da and Jimmie Dolezal put a-
cross the commercials — which
ranged from advertisements for
“Butnik” cigarettes and face
lotion, to securing volunteers
for a trip to the moon.
The entire cast sang “Anoth-
er Opening, Another Show,”
to start the show in the right
vein. The firs' act added the
Latin American touch with
“Tequila.” Dancers included
Lloyd Wiley, Charles Fritsch,
Sammy Brown, David von Min-
den, Susie Robertson, Jo Ann
Wessels, Betty Hagemann and
Carolyn Frey tag.
“April Love” was sung by
Rodney Koenig, host for the
show, and Albert Oeltjen, pos-
ing as a comedian, presented a
variety of clever (and some or-
iginal) jokes.
A trio composed of Lucy Jo
Conn, Judy von Rosenberg and
Elva Ann Meiners rendered—
in most capable, a la McGuire
Sisters, fashion — the vocal . . , ,
numbers. “Sugartime” and «lv°cJ?ase„’I an,d “ ,?has* lt was

ed off the pavement and nipped
several guard posts after it had
crossed the Cummins slough
bridge. The car then knocked
down two sections of the con-
crete bridge over Cummins
creek proper, and came to rest
on the other side.
Mr. Flournoy, who had ra-
dioed for road blocks to be set
up around Brenham as it was
apparent he wouldn’t be able
to overtake the souped-up
“job,” found his quarry briefly
knocked out.
Taken to jail here was Frank
Ramirez Urias, 19, address list-
ed as Austin.
Tuesday morning the speed-
ster was fined a total of $342.20
in Peace Justic Pete .Turasek’s
court for speeding and running
two stop lights — two of the
three lights in La Grange were
red at the time. Urias was still
in jail Thursday in lieu of pay-
ing the fine. He is also wanted
in Smithville.
The car was pulled in by the
Brasher Motor Co. wrecker.

ule underway Sunday, with a
quartet of second round games

Mgr. Pat Lamascus brings

the big Demon bats, while Ros-
enberg is due to counter with
Butch Blume, young curvebal-
ler.

TWO BURGLARIES SOLVED
A bit of master sleuthing by
Sheriff T. J. Flournoy this
week linked three suspects,
arrested at Hank’s Place Mon-
day, with the burglary of a
grocery-service station at Mc-
Camey and a business place at
Houston.
The three — Alton Wayne
Smith, 17, James Wayne Wal-
ker, 19, and Lee Andy Walker,
41, all of San Angelo — were
taken into custody by the sher-
iff and Deputy Lawrence Ad-
ameik at Hank's Monday morn-
ing as the suspects were at-
tempting to sell a rifle. The
“tip” had been received earlier
from Alwin G. Baumbach, at
whose store similar efforts had
been made only minutes previ-
ous.
The men had in their 1952
Oldsmobile three shotguns, two
rifles, two pistols, a TV set.

Ordinance Voted
At Council Meet
La Granges city council Wed-
nesday night accepted two bids
for a new unit of firefighting
apparatus.
Accepted were the proposal*
of La Grange Motor Co. for a
new Ford F-750 chassis of 22,-
000 pounds gross vehicle
weight and 196 horsepower, for
$3,325: and another by Simms
Fire Equipment Co., Inc., of
San Antonio for the pumping
and related apparatus.
The Simms basic bid was for
85,569, plus $1,566 for accesso-
ries and $100 for a two-way
radio.
Attaches of the successful
bidding firms said that it would
require three to four weeks for
delivery of the truck chassis,
and about 90 days for installa-
tion of equipment. This would
mean the unit should be de-
livered between Aug. 15 and
Sept. 1.
An ordinance amending cer-
tain sections of the city’s ceme-
tery ordinance was also adop-
ted. The amendments dealt
principally with the lot price
structure, with new rates for
residents and non - residents,
respectively^ now being:
New section burial ground*
—one block, $150 and $300;
half block, $85 and $175.
'Other sections of white ceme-
tery — One block, $125 and
$275; half block, $75 and $150;
quarter block, $50 and $85;
single grave, $25 and $70.
Certain lots of white ceme-
tery, along rear fence lines —-
One block, $75 and $150; half
block, $50 and $100; quarter
block, $25 and $60; single grave,
$15 and $35.
Negro cemetery—One block,
$75 and $100; half block, $40
and $75; quarter block, $25 and
$50: single grave, $15 and $25.
The ordinance also lists grave
digging charges. It additionally
states that when a grave is dug
bv others than the sexton. $7.50
shall be charged and collected
by the sexton for the removal
and disposal of excess dirt.
Accepted and filed was a pe-
tition from property owners a-
long S. Main St., requesting
street paving; and a letter from
the Jaycees, asking the city’s
assistance in improving and
lighting Jaycee park on the
river, was referred to the
building and grounds commit-
tee for early attention.

mystery Thursday. Known on-
ly to Scott, the man was being
given a ride from Weimar to

turned. He was not seen since
and a widespread search of the
area was of no avail.
