ADVERTISE IN THE HERALD!
By Shirley Lange
Rain, rain, rain fell all last
week. Showers in some areas
were, off course, heavier than
others and everyone is most de-
lighted.
Of course, the cow pens and
hog pens look like they may
never dry up, but they will.
Ladies with gardens couldn’t
pick the vegetables and have
lost quite a few cucumbers and
tomatoes. There is a familiar
saying once quoted by “Uncle
August” many year ago, “If it
rained on July 4 and if this date
fell on a Sunday, it would rain
for the next seven Sundays’..
So, let’s see what happens.
Everyone says we have had un-
usual July weather, so no tell-
ing what else may come up.
Amounts varied from an inch to
over two inches.
Mr. and Mrs. Paul Sauer and
Mr. and Mrs. Gary Brodbeck
and children spent a ten-day
vacation with Dr. and Mrs.
Stanley Sauer and girls at
Brenwood and Nashville, Tenn.
(More about this elsewhere in
this paper.)
Mr. and Mrs. Ervin Eckert
and family and Mr. and Mrs.
Pete Crenwelge traveled to
Canyon to attend the functions
of the Junior Texas Hereford
Show. Larry, Ellen and Jill
Eckert and Joy Weinheimer,
daughter of the Roy Weinheim-
ers of Stonewall, were entered
as a Judging team, placing
third. Joy received the high in-
dividual award.
Sympathy is extended to rel-
atives and friends on the pass-
ing of Carl Kroll.
About 15 friends of David
Klett gathered at the ranch of
Clarence Strackbein here at
Doss Saturday evening to honor
him on a “Stag Party” before
his wedding day.
Scouters and Dads of Boy
Scout Troops 132 and 139 had a
most enjoyable time at the
Ralph Weiershausen Lake
House over the weekend. Boys
passed several merit badges
and still had fun. Mothers who
attended Sunday were Mesd.
Warren Hahn, Norbert Stehl-
ing, Ralph Weiershausen and
Dennis Lange. Peggy Lange,
Andy Tatsch and Nancy Hahn
enjoyed the boat rides, sunning
and tube skiing. More on the
happenings of these two troops
will be in next week’s paper.
Hope to see the Doss area
folks at the 4-H Alumni party
Thursday evening. Hope you
can come.
A bit of “nothing” — the
man who boasts he runs things
in his own house, usually does
— the lawn mower and the er-
rands.
Circle your calendar folks for
the Improvement Club meeting
on Friday, July 23.

Camp at Camp Gene Ashby is

Focus On Homemakers
By Leta Ann Metzger
Consumers shopping for
small appliances will see some
big improvements — and some
new versions — along with old
favorites back again this fall.
Predictions from manufac-
turers indicate that ‘ethnic’
appliances, such as French
crepe pans and Oriental woks,
will be big sellers.
New on the market will be a
small deep fat fryer with capa-
city to cook one or two servings
at a time. This appliance will
be marketed as a companion
for the popular burger cooker.
For singles or youngsters,
these two appliances can solve
meal problems quickly.
Some burger cookers will
come as two-burger models;
THANK YOU
I wish to express my sincere
thanks and appreciation for
their thoughtfulness and help
during my recent hospitaliza-
tion and finally surgery for a
pacemaker.
Especially do I thank Dr.
Perry, the staff, nurses and
Auxiliary of Hill Country Me-
morial Hospital, Dr. Lobestein
and Dr. Armstrong and staff of
Community Hospital, San An-
tonio; also Rev. Charles Hare,
members of the Harper Metho-
dist Church, all friends and
relatives for prayers, cards,
flowers and visits; also, Mr.
and Mrs. Ray Edwards of San
Antonio and all our grandchild-
ren for the kindnesses.
May God bless you all.

others will have a reversible
surface to double as a small
griddle for eggs or sandwiches.
Some cookers will provide for
hot dogs as well as hamburg-
ers.
One new appliance to look for
will be a portable indoor grill _
that duplicates outdoor char-
coal flavor. A built-in power ex-
haust system can be vented
through a window or used with
a regular vent on the kitchen
range.
New Toaster-oven combina-
tions will feature broiling capa-
bilities not recommended or
many older models, and some
new ones are even self-cleaning
and can be pre-set for starting
and stopping.
New with slow cookers will
be a model that supplies a base
to be used as a grill (two pan-
cake size). The same appliance
then can be used to grill, bake,
roast, stew and serve.
With all these new features
on the market, consumers need
to be even more alert to com-
parison shopping. Manufactur-
ers will compete with prices,
guarantees and extras. Com-
pare several brands in different
stores before purchasing.

MIKE SUMMERS
Mike Summers, Career
Agent with Texas Farm Bureau
Insurance Company, has just
returned from a 4 day all ex-
pense paid trip for him and his
wife Glenda, to Houston. While
in Houston, they visited Astro
World, and NASA, and saw
the Astros play a no-hitter
against Montreal. They stayed
at the elegant Hyatt-Regency
Hotel. Mike was named a
Texas All Star for achieving
quotas in Casualty and Life
insurance competition that cov-
ered a nine state area. This
year Texas was host to winners
in the states of Arkansas,
Louisiana, Mississippi, Ken-
tucky, Virginia, North Caro-

The Gillespie County Com-
missioners Court met in regu-
lar monthly session Monday
and Tuesday and, besides dis-
posing of routine business,
examining and approving re-
ports, etc., decided to proceed
with the Northeast Loop, a new
paved road from the Llano
Highway across the Cave Creek
or old Burnet Road, to Goeh-
mann Lane, as originally pro-
posed by the Texas State High-
way Department.
This is the 2.1 miles, approxi-
mately begining of a loop
around town which eventually
may some day route heavy
traffic around Fredericksburg
and away from Main Street
where traffic is becoming in-
creasingly heavier with each
passing day. The Highway De-
partment reportedly will call
for a public hearing, to be held
at the courthouse, on Tuesday,
August 17, with official notice
of this hearing to be made soon.
Alternate routes reportedly
proposed for the Northeast
Loop by some landowners
along the route were not ac-
cepted and the original route
proposed by the highway de-
partment were decided upon by
the commissioners court in
their session this week.
Among other matters the
commissioners:
....DECIDED to purchase a
used Galion, 5-ton steel wheel
roller, which will be used by all
four commissioners in their
precincts for road work, pav-
ing, etc., with the purchase
price being $3,000.00.
....HAD NOTICE from Dis-
trict Judge Marvin Blackburn
that he had authorized an in-
crease in salary for the Court
■Reporter so that, effective-
Sept. 1,1976, Gillespie County’s
share of this salary will be
increased from $2180.00 to
$2389.10 on an annual basis.

The 5th annual Pen of 3 Car-
cass Evaluation will be held at
the Gillespie County Livestock
Company with the pens to be
delivered on Monday, July 19.
Entries will be accepted all
day.
The Pen of 3 Carcass Evalua-
tion is designed to help breed-
ers with their swine breeding
programs. Pens should reflect
normal handling for market
hogs. Carcasses will be evalu-
ated on basis of length, backfat
thickness and loin eye area.
Producers will be able to make
decisions concerning whether
pigs are too short, too fat, or
lacking in muscle and purchase
boars to correct or strengthen
production.
The schedule of events will -
include:
Monday, July 19 — Deliver
pens to Gillespie County Live-
stock Company. Entries ac-
cepted all day.
Wednesday, July 21 — Dr.
Frank Orts, Extension meats
specialist, will make measure-
ments in cooler at Roegelein
Packing Company, San An-
tonio. Anyone interested in see-
ing the carcasses measured
may go along.
Friday, July 23, at 7:30 p.m.
will be a family night with a
barbecue sponsored by feed
companies and their repre-
sentatives for participants and
their families at Lady Bird
Johnson Park.
The following are the rules
and suggestions for the Pen of 3
Carcass Evaluation. If you
have any questions, contact the
county extension office. Make
plans now to be included in
having one or more pens eval-
uated.
PEN OF 3

boring counties: Bandera,

ket barrows and/or gilts, de-

Monday, July 19, market.
Entry fee is $1.00 per group.

was used by all precincts in the
county for road work, for
$2600.00, with the idea that this
former asphalt truck may be
converted to other uses, such as
perhaps a water truck.
....CONSIDERED doing
something about the ceiling in
the day rooms of the Gillespie
County Law Enforcement
Building but did not approve
the four-inch concrete ceiling
proposed. An estimate of ex-
pense involved in this project
was given on an estimate basis
by Blanchard Associates at
around $3,200.00. Commis-
sioners Arthur Lynn Hahn and
J. Marvin Williams voted “for”
the proposal with Commission-
ers Levy Kusenberger and
Dayton Herber voting “naye”.
Judge Victor Sagebiel broke
the tie by also voting “naye”
and the proposition will not
proceed at this time as funds
are needed for other items
more urgent. The project pro-
posal was submitted on a cost
plus 10 percent basis. There are
804 square feet of ceiling in-
volved and placing a four-inch
concrete slab above these
rooms in the law enforcement
building would involve a con-
siderable amount of work.
