THIS BEAUTIFUL MORNING
These are great days in the
morning of our farmers. Cot.on
is high. (It was so after the
other war, too.) Farm lands are
high. (They were before.) Farm-
ers have ten billion dollars in
cash or government bonds. Net
farm income last year was $14,-
800,000,000 as compared with
only $5,600,000,000 in 1940, and
there were only 25,000,000 farm
people to share it as compared
with 30,000,000 in 1940. The ex-
perts say farm prosperity should
last until 1948 at least.
Harvest time ought to be happy
indeed this year.
And that means something to
the country as a whole. When
the farmers are happy, our
country is sound at its heart,
sound in economic situation and,
what is equally important, sound
in thinking and feeling. Pros-
perous farmers think right, and
feel right, and correctly exercise
their balance of power in the na-
tion. That is, they do so if they
do any thinking at all. Some-
times, when they are prosperous,
they excuse themselves from
thinking at all, and elect enter-
tainers to office — fellows who
will give them a good show and
make them happy promises that
can’t be kept or aren’t to be tak-
en seriously. But there are no
safer hands into which to trust
this country’s philosophy and
fate than those of farmers when
they are thinking in terms of be-
ing free and decent and enter-
prising; they are, essentially,
home-loving, land-loving, country-
loving, God-loving. They are our
guarantee against homemade
communism and fascism, our
aces in the hole against sick
creeds and ways from across the
sea, our daily declarations of
American independence.
It’s a great day in the morn-
ing. But we should note the
little cloud . . .
The cloud is composed of cer-
tain people who are sitting
around patiently waiting for a
time when there will be trouble
again for farmers and they can
take over. It is a cloud of radi-
cal reformers with collectivist
hearts and law - making minds
and goose - stepping feet who
know that when farmers are not
happy and mornings are not
beautiful you can put just about
anything over them. These peo-
ple are laying their plans now
and already have their publicity
going. They remember how it
was in those terrible days of the
early thirties where the morn-
ings were so black and when our
farmers in their bitter distress
were drawn along with the rest
of us to socialisms, totalitarian-
ism and bureaucratic federal-
isms, which did indeed relieve
the emergency, but came mighty
near killing the country as a go-
ing concern for freemen.
Our farmers not only went
along in that socialistic dip —
they led the way. When farmers
are in trouble and are persued-
ed somthing radical needs to be
done, they have more courage
and fight and initiative for do-
ing it than any of us. That is
what happened in the 1930‘s. Just
as the farmers are leading the
way now in a happy direction,
they led before in an unhappy
one.
This cloud of radicals waiting
for the great day in the morning
to be over and their time to
come, will tell you farm pros-

’ LISBON, PORTUGAL — (Soundphoto) —The Dardanelles are definitely in the news with Russia’s
demand for a share in their control. The plane carrier Franklin D. Roosevelt, now on its way to the
Dardanelles is shown at Lisbon. She is accompanied by two cruisers and three destroyers. This brings
U.S. Naval strength in the Mediterranean to one crack carrier,, four cruisers and four destroyers— a

Stock Spraying Demonstration at E. Dean
Hopf’s Ranch Next Wednesday Morning
C. C. Urges Property Owners To
List Hunting Privileges
The Fredericksburg Chamber
of Commerce issued an urgent
plea this week to all property
owners in this and adjoining
counties to list their deer and
turkey hunting privileges not lat-
er than Saturday. According to
Sidney Henke, C. C. secretary,
the demand for hunting leases
is so great that many of those
seeking hunting privileges here
will be disappointed unless more
leases are made known and avail-
able immediately.
Henke stated that a complete
list of the hunting privileges
and listings would be sent out in
mimeograph form next week to
all persons who have made in-
quiries at the chamber of com-
merce. In order to get the leas-
es listed on this information
sheet, all property owners should
advise the chamber of commerce
not later than Saturday, this
week, if they wish to have their
leases listed.
A stock-spraying demonstra-
tion will be held at E. Dean
Hopf’s ranch, near Harper, by
Simon Burg, territorial represen-
tative for the famous “Bean”
sprayers, on Wednesday, Sept.
18th, at 9:30 a m.
Spraying of sheep, cattle and
goats will be demonstrated by
Mr. Burg who will also explain
ing to the stock farmer and
the tremendous benefits of spray-
rancher. Eradication of flies,
stock ticks, lice, etc., is an easy
matter and previous tests have
shown that the application of the
stock sprayer have proven ex-
tremely successful.
Everyone interested is cordial-
ly invited to attend this demon-
stration.
Room Mothers for this year
have been elected and everybody
is well satisfied with them. The
twelfth grade elected Mrs. Ar-
thur Bierschwale and Mrs. J. R.
Peril. The eleventh grade elected
Mrs. Milton Cosper and Mrs. Al-
bert Maner. The tenth grade el-
ected Mrs. M. C. Hoermann and
Mrs. Clayton Parker. The ninth
grade elected Mrs. Bill Kaiser
and Mrs. Wallace Brown, and
the eighth grade elected Mrs.
Hugo Hopf and Mrs. Pete Whit-

from the State Soil Conservation
Board of Temple, Texas, that
sub-division supervisors of Di-

Doss Farm-to-Mar-
ket Road Being
Surveyed
Residents of the Doss and
H lda communities were a little
closer to their realization of a
good hard-topped road connect-
ing them with the Mason high-
way last week when surveying
was begun in that section.
The surveying is under the
supervision of Major W. F. Hut-
son, resident state highway engi-
neer for this district.
A four-man field party has be-
gun to plot the route to be taken
by the farm-to-market road. Stan-
ley Schnerr is in charge of this
work.
Upon completion of the project,
farmers and ranchers of the Doss
and Hilda area will have a 14.6
mile paved road extending from
the Mason highway to 2.8 miles
beyond Doss on the Hilda road,
thus assuring all-weather trans-
portation to Fredericksburg.

Roping Results of Last
Saturday’s Rodeo
Results of last Saturday’s ro-
deo roping contests are as fol-
lows :
Ottmar Schnerr: 15 & 19........ 34
Bob Langehennig: 16 & 14 .... 30
A 1940 Chevrolet Sedan, which
was stolen from the Ruben
Evers place several weeks ago,
was recovered Friday night at
Giddings when a soldier deserter
attempted to purchase a new tire
in that city.
The tire salesman became
suspicious when he noticed the
soldier’s car did not have a li-
cense plate on it. The sheriff
was notified and a check-up re-
vealed that the soldier had de-
serted from his post and was
driving the auto stolen from
Evers. The AWOL had turned
over while driving to Giddings
and was trying to buy a tire to
replace the one blown out in the
accident.
Mr. Evers and some friends
went to Giddings Saturday morn-
ing to get his automobile, which
was in fair condition, except for
the blown tire and a few dents.
Some of the other articles which
had been stolen also were recov-
ered.

ericksburg high school 1933, se-
cured his schooling in dentistry

E. Dean Hopf
Speaks at 1st
PTA Meeting
E. Dean Hopf, Vocational Agri-
culture teacher, was the, principal
speaker at the first P.T.A. meet-
ing of the year, Friday, April 5,
at 8 p. m.
His subject was “Laying the
Corner Stone.” The large num-
ber of parents and teachers pre-
sent appreciated the manner in
which Mr. Hopf pointed out the
Responsibility of the parent to
the child, the teachers’ duty in
the relationship of the child’s
home life to the school; and how
to keep the child with the right
outlook.
Mr. Hopf said, “The parent
should see that the child is ready
to start school, that their home
life is normal; and that they be
started from home in the right
frame of mind in the morning.
Their ability to work depends on
it.”
He believes that if the teacher
will know the child individually
through close association with
their families, it will help to
solve the problems that arise.
The family, in turn, must investi-
gate any incident reported by the
child before taking action or dis-
cussing it. Thus the teacher and
parent can work together to keep
the child with a clear understand-
ing of. his school work.
“The teacher is not always
right,” stated Mr. Hopf. “He per-
sonally judges his methods by
the reaction of a large percen-
tage of his classes.”
In referring to the program
outlined for the year’s work by
Mrs. Harlan, Mr. Hopf stated
that the past record of the Har:
per P.T.A. proves that the or-
ganization will again met the
high goal they have set for this
year.
Preceding the lecture by Mr.
Hopf, Mrs. Fred Whitewood gave
an invocation. Music was arrang-
ed by Mrs. Paul Jones.
Mrs. Harlan introduced some
humorous numbers including a
monologue by Mrs. A. L. Bier-
schwale, and reading by Thomas
Harlan and Worth Duderstadt.
Mrs. Raymond Spaeth, chair-
man, opened a short business ses-
sion by expressing a desire not
to disappoint those who elected
her to leadership. The treasurer
reported $74.74 in the treasury.
She also read a vote of thanks
from Fredericksburg for our par-
ticipation in the Centennial.
There was a report on the called
meeting in July at which time
Mr. Fox explained the plans for
a Community Recreational Cen-
ter. The P.T.A. hopes to do its
part, but voted to first meet the
financial pledges already set for
the year and then to donate as
time and funds will permit.
The motion made by Mrs.
David Schmidt to send cookies
and prizes to the Youth Veterans
Hospital and approved in May,
was very successfully carried
out.
At the suggestion of the pub-
lication chairman, the association
voted to again send tht Texas
Parent Teacher magazine to all
members.
The business session adjourned
and Mrs. Max Lange assisted by
Mrs. David Schmidt and Mrs. Ed-
win Lange served refreshments
to the families, students, and
teachers present. Mr. Phil Ro-
gers helped arrange for “42” to'
entertain until a late hour.
DR. FREDERIC H. THORNE
The Fredericksburg Hospital &
Clinic this week announced the
addition of two skilled physi-
cians, Dr. Frederic H. Thorne,
eye-ear-nose specialist, and Dr.
H. R. Gaddy, Jr., general prac-
ticing physician and surgeon. Dr.
Thorne, who recently retired
from the U. S. Army after hav-
ing completed thirty years of ser-
vice at Fort Sam Houston, has
established offices in the recent
new annex of the hospital struc-
ture, while Dr. Gaddy, a native
of Lampasas, Texas, will have
offices in the corner building
j where Drs. Feller and Keyser
' likewise maintain their office,
i The addition of these two skill-
j ed practitioners will enable the
j hospital and clinic to render
I more complete and better medi-
cal and surgical service to this
section of the state.
Dr. Thorne was born and
raised in Canada. He is a grad-
uate of the Physicians and Sur-
geons Hospital of Boston, Mass.,
following which he took a one-
year special course of training
at the'" University of Breslau,
Germany. He recently rounded
DR. H. R. GADDY, JR.
out thirty years of active service
in the U. S. Army in which ca-
pacity he served as Lt. Colonel.
His wife and son, Bill A. Thorne,
a veteran of World War II, are
still in San Antonio, but Mrs.
Thorne expects to join her hus-
band in Fredericksburg as soon
as residential quarters can be
secured.
Dr. Gaddy is a son of Dr. and
Mrs. H. R. Gaddy, Sr., of Lam-
pasas. He graduated from the
Lampasas high school in 1936,
from Southwestern University at
Georgetown in 1940, and from
Baylor Medical College at Dallas
in March 1944 with the M. D.
degree. Following his college
training, Dr. Gaddy served his
interneship at Santa Rosa Hos-
pital in San Antonio until Jan.
1, 1945, at which time he entered
the U. S. Navy. He received his
honorable discharge from the
Navy on August 24, 1946, since
which time he had spent a vaca-
tion at home. Dr. Gaddy, who is
unmarried, will engage in the
general practice of medicine and
surgery and will assist Drs.
Feller and Keyser in the hos-
pital.
