is done.
To the bereaved survivors the

Among the citations which
comprise the Lesson-Sermon is
the following from the Bible:

owners who have farmers for
sale in Lavaca County to list
them with him for consideration
in the FSA’s tenant purchase
program.
“We make this request in
order to get landowners with
farms for sale together with
farmers who want to buy their
farms,” Mr. Smith said. “The
FSA makes a loan for tne en-
tire purchase price of the land,
which the new owners pays to
the former owner.”
He explained that where ad-
ditional improvements are need
with trimmings and enjoyed the
program. The affair was indeed
a credit to the committee in
charge of staging same.
P. R. Otto introduced the
speaker of the evening, Editor
B. F. Harigel, publisher of the
La Grange Journal, who de-
livered an eloquent address, one
that will linger long in the
minds of those who were privi-

tribute to the Chamber of Com-

have shown in the 4-H boys
and girls, by'sending them to
the short course at A & M Col-
lege, and the wonderful work
they are doing locally, to bettei

KIDD—RICHTER NUPTIALS

Dr. Louis Bacon Saunders Rich

Mrs. Louis Bertholt Richter, of

10 a. m. The Rev. Sidney C.

ficiated. The wedding took place
in the home of the brides* par-
ents. A low bowl filled with
white blossoms was on the

and there reorganized the High
way 95 Association, having for
its purpose the completion of
Highway 95 from Temple to
Smithville and on to Flatonia to
connect with 95 running South
from Flatonia. Two members of
the Shiner Highway committee
were named directors in this
association.
This committee has assisted
our commissioner Gus Seim
when ever possible to do so,
and the commitee feels that the
good work done by our County
Commissioner and W. P. A. m
building an all weather road
from Shiner through the Boun-
dary Line and Mount Olive sec-
tion will open up a large ter-
ritory which will enable those
farmers living along this road
access to a market at all times

Secretary Denmark gave a
resume of the activities of the
past year as follows:
Mr. President, ladies, dis-
tinguished guests, friends. Time
will prevent my giving a de-
tailed report of the activities
carried on by the Chamber of
Commerce during the fiscal
year 1939-1940.
Therefore I shall give only a
brief resume concerning some
of our outstanding accomplish-
ments during the year.
At times the accomplish-
ments of your Chamber of
Commerce are not “stupendous
or gigantic” but your officers
and directors feel that every-
thing they can do which in any
way improves Shiner and its
community is well worth the
time and effort spent.
The various committees ap
pointed by President Kaspar
have been active during the
past year.
The agricultural committee
has kept in close contact with
the County Agent, Mr. King,
and has aided whenever pos-
sible the good work carried on
among the boys of our County
in 4-H Club wqrk.
Aid has been'given the Home
Demonstration Agent, Miss Eli-
zabeth Pfeiffer in her work
with the girls of our County.
During June of this year a
4-H Club encampment was held
at this park in which boys and
girls of 4-H Clubs from over the
entire county came for two
days of interesting instruction
and recreation. Your Chamber
of Commerce cooperated In the
entertainment of these young-
sters.
The Chamber donated $10.00
toward sending a 4-H Club boy
to the short course at A & M
in July and a like amount to-
ward sending a 4-H Club girl
to the Short course.
Transportation was paid by
the Chamber of Commerce to
San Antonio on a Baby Beef
Calf fed by Louis Roeder Jr.,
a club boy of the Bunjes 4-H
Club. Your Agricultural Com-
mittee believes that more clubs
can be organized at the rural
our community and aided them
in getting W. P. A. work on our
City streets and County Road
projects. We assisted the City
in getting necessary W. P. A.
appropriations for Waterworks
and street improvements In
Shiner by keeping in contact
with the proper authorities.
Cooperating with the Busi-
ness Men’s Club we put on the
Annual Christmas Tree for the
children of our community. This
event is growing larger year by
year and it does ones’ heart
good to see the genuine pleasure
this event gives to the little
tots of our community as well
as imparts the spirit of Christ-
mas into the hearts of the
grown folks. The Chamber of
Commerce sponsors the beauti-
ful street lighting system on
our city streets during the
Christmas season, which adds
so much to the beauty of the
Christmas Season. ^
