BROTHERHOOD WEEK
The National Conference of
Christians and Jews, Inc., was
.ounded in 1928 on the initiative
of Charles Evans Hughes, New-
ton D. Baker, S. Parks Cadman,
and other distinguished Amer-
icans. Its purpose is defined in
ts By-laws in the following
, erms:
“The Conference is an associa-
tion of individuals, not of offi-
cials commissioned by their re-
spective religious bodies. It does
not aim at any sort of union or
amalgamation of religious bodies
or at modifying any of the dis-
tinctive beliefs of its members
Believing in a spiritual inter-
pretation of the universe and de-
riving its inspiration therefrom,
,he National Conference exists'
o promote justice, amity, under-
fanding and cooperation among
ews Catholics and Protestants
m the United States, and to ana-
lyze, moderate and finally elimin-
ate intergroup prejudice which
disfigure and distort religious,
ousiness, social and political re-
lations, with a view to the es-
tablishment of a social order in
which the religious ideals of bro-
iherhood and justice shall be-
come the standards of human re-
lationships”.
The American .idea is of a na
lion embracing a whole continent
,000 miles wide. It is that from
more than forty Old World lands
nave come people who are de-
termined to make here of many
nationalities one nation. Sons
and daughters of all the racial
attains promise to live together
as one human family. Worship-
pers at many altars agree in this
country that Protestants, Catho-
lics and Jews are separate and
yet united as citizens, like the
nands, feet, eyes and ears of a
single body. All of these Amer-
icans together have agreed upon
a constitution guaranteeing the
freedom of the mind, and the
iredom of the soul of man-
everyman. Forms of abuse and
quarreling which lead to overt
hostilities are ruled out be-
cause we are, and must continue
to be, “one nation indivisible,
with liberty and justice for all”.
This is the, American dream.
Americans have had the com-
mon sense to apply the family
idea of brotherhood to the whole
nation. Brotherhood is giving to
others the rights you want to
enjoy yourself.

American Dream. We must help
to create one world indivisible,
with liberty and justice for all
mankind.
The American idea of brother-
hood gives us a sense of mission.
Americans have the noblest, most
advanced, most practical propos-
al for the world: brotherhood,
the extension to everyone of the
rights we want to keep for our-
selves. All the more important,
then, to make brotherhood work
right here in the United States,
NOW.

last week. Teams comprising
the loop include the Fredericks-
burg Giants, Comfort, Boerne,
Stonewall, Harper, Camp Stan-
ley and Sisterdale.
All of the clubs are within
easy traveling distance of the
other and in addition to cutting
team travel expenses, the area
is compact enough to allow for
a gpod fan following for all of
the teams.
Governing body of the league
is to consist of a board of seven
directors ( each a representative
of one of the teams, who may
not be either a player or the
manager of the baseball club.
Jordan says. Rules and regula-
tions of the league have been
drawn and are to be formally
adopted at a meeting in Comfort
on Feb. 22, at which officials of
the league are to be named.

uled, 3-game series) have been
set for Comfort, Boerne and

through August 28. The league
championship will be determin-
ed in a series of playoff games
during September.
According to Jordan, practice
sessions for the Giants will be-
gin on March 6, with all baseball
players in the county urged to
come and try for a position on
the team. The first game for the
Giants will be played here on
March 27, against the Lackland

outfit. Another game for the
following week, April 3, is also to
be arranged if possible, accord-
ing to Jordan.

a profitable meat type hog yielding a maximum of lean meat and a
minimum of lard. Lois’ champion _weighed 205 lbs. at exactly six
months old. ■T __

Elmore Torn Experiments
With Grass Diet
Taylor, Texas, February 7,
(Sipl)—Elmore R. Torn now is
in the 12th month of a grass
diet experiment testing the chem-
urgic potential and health values
of chlorophyl and natural vita-
mins as found in cereal grasses.
Used in this novel experiment
are cerophyl and viet—dehydrat-
ed cereal grass tablets—made
from tender young succulent un-
jointed grasses known as coro-
gras.
These grass products are being
tested as a source for natural
vitamins, a form of chlorophyl,
and substitute for certain foods.
Torn lived practically on grass
alone for 66 days in the start of
the experiment with beneficial
results.
Since then he has kept the
same amount of dehydrated cer-
eal grass tablets in his diet, but
has varied the amount of food
intake. He will continue his pre-
sent grass diet until after a
year is up.
Torn believes that medical
science research may be over-
looking a big bet if it doesn't
fully explore the health proper-
ties of certain ingredients of the
grasses family.

Altercations at Mexican Tavern End
In Death For One, Injury For Another
Ernesto Marquescho, age about
18, son of Mr. and Mrs. Estaba
Marquescho, of Fredericksburg
died shortly after being struck
by a bullet fired from a pistol
at about 11:45 p. m. Sunday night
at Lleti’s Tavern, a Latin-Amer-
ican dance place located near the
City Cemetery. Another Mex-
ican youth, Saragoso Luna, age
20, son of Mrs. Frank Bris-
eno, was struck by a bullet
on his right leg and by a blow
on the head, for which injuries
he was treated at a local hos-
pital.
Charges of murder and aggra-
vated assault with intent to kill
were filed in Justice Court on
Monday morning against Canto-
lario Borjas, age about 23, also
of Fredericksburg. Also charged,
as accomplices, were John San-
chez, age about 23, and Leo Ra-
mos, age about 24, all of Fred-
ericksburg. All three, Borjas,
Sanchez and Ramos, were being
retained in the Gillespie County
jail for further questioning and
investigation. No bond had been
set, according to Justice of the
Peace Wm. Bruns, and all three
will await action of the Grand
Jury in District Court next Mon-
day, Feb. 21.
According to Justice Wm.
Bruns, the premeditated quarrel
ended in the fatal shooting at the
tavern when the Latin-Americans
left the place following a fight
and returned with a pistol. The
bullets are reported to have been
fired from a 38.40 pistol which,
it is charged, belonged to
Sanchez. According to Justice
Bruns, Borjas denied firing the
second shot from the pistol which
proved fatal to Marquescho who
was wounded in the stomach.
Borjas took the victim to a local
hospital but the injured youth
died enroute. The victim, Ernesto
Marquescho, is reported to have
been an innocent bystander.
Marquescho was engaged in
common labor in this area, doing
such work as cutting wood, etc.
According to County Attorney
Joe Petsch, the murder charges
are the first to be filed here
since 1933 when another Mexican
was stabbed to death in the
Luckenbach community.
Marquescho was bora in Fred-
ericksburg on May 16, 1930. In
addition to his parents he is sur-
vived by five sisters and four
brothers.
Funeral services were held
Monday afternoon at 4 p. m.
from the family residence with
Schaetter Funeral Home in
charge. Interment was held in
the Catholic Mexican Cemetery,
Rev. James Daley officiating.
