Michaelis-Strban
A pretty wedding was solemn-
ized in the Witting Luth, Church
iu the presence of close relatives
and a few friends on Tuesday
April 10th, 1934 at 4:30 P. M.
when Rev. A. H. Falkenburg of
Moulton Texas united in marriage
Miss Laura Michaelis of Witting
and Mr. John Strban of Shiner.
The bri al party entered the
church to the strains of the
bridal march from Lohengrin
plajed by Mrs. A. H. Palkenberg.
The bride was attended by her
sister Miss Selma Michaelis, she
made a lovely picture in her
white satin dress with accessor-
ies to match, shs carried a bou-
quet of white poppies and fern.
Paved Streets Not Far
Distant
The dream of a life time is
nearing realization in our little
town, that is the approach of
paved streets. The city dads are
having the four street intersec-
tions of the business district
paved with Limestone Rock As-
phalt from Uvalde mines. If this
proves durable, and the street
intersections will be the strong-
est test, Mayor Richter informs
us that in a few months the prin-
cipal business streets will re-
ceive the same treatment. This
type of paving is growing in
favor all the time. Many cities
prefer it to concrete. It is far
more reasonable, easier to repair

appropriate music was played
very softly on the organ. The
bride is a daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. F. W. Michaelis of Witting.
She was born and reared in the
nections with the streets from
their railrord crossings.
The intersection at the Corner
Drug Store and Welhausen’s
was completed last week and
Witting community, graduating j many expressions of satisfaction
from the Witting public school
some years ago. The bridegroom
is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Jonn
Strban Sr. of Crockett, Texaa.
For the past seven years he has
held a responsible position in Shi-
ner.
Immediately after the cere-
mony a sumptuous wedding din-
ner was served at the home of
bride’s parents. At a late hour
the wedding guests departed
wishing the newlyweds a long
and happy married life.-A Friend

Parent-Teacher Association
The public school P.-T. A. held
a regular meeting on April 12th,
during which Mrs. Wm. Wendt-
land, Jr., president, conducted
the business session. Superin-
tendent McDonald reported
favorably on Parents’ Visiting
Day, and urged that parents
continue to visit in the school.
By request, the secretary read
the entire membership roll in
order that those present might
be more fully informed. Seventy-
three members are now listed,
including one new member, Mrs.
Ola Garret.
The decision to supply neces-
sary chinaware and silver for
the banquet room was met with
hearty cooperation. Mesdames
Alfred Schramm, J. C. Blohm
and Miss Edna Reischel were
appointed to purchase the equip-
ment. Mesdames Adolf Valek
and John Valenta were appoint
ed to supervise a small amount
of carpenter work in the ban-
Game and Fish Protective
League to Hold Annual
Meeting
There is a much appreciated
local league in your community
known as the Game and Fish
Protective League of Shiner; it
is to your advantage to join with
them in developing programs for
increasing the out-of-door rec-
reational facilities for young and
old. The need and value of the
out-of-doors and its wild life are
becoming increasingly appreci-
ated; greater number of people
are annually finding the spiritual
and health-giving powers of out-
of-door recreation and this need
is even greater during periods
of hardship and stress. It is
just as essential to our health
and happiness as many of the
up-to-date conveniences which
have been incorporated in our
standards of living.
The league has been constant
ly stocking our reserved streams
with game fish for the past three
years—the league assures all
members an all-year enjoyable
resort.
Another small dam will soon
be constructed in one of our
local streams.
The league’s platform is: “For
the protection of our woods, wa
ters and wild life; the champion
of out-of-doors and the conser-
vation of our natural resources.”
The league will hold their reg-
ular monthly meeting, also our
Men’s Club Hold
Regular Meeting
($rai>uatton Suits
I
Exactly a score of members
met in regular session Thnrsday
night at the meeting of the Busi
ness Men’s Club. Following the
invocation by Supt. McDonald,
Pres. Kaspar called the meeting
to order. All routine business
was dispatched. Mayor Richter
had as his guest A. G. Zoll, rep-
resentative of White’s Uvalde
Mines, of Uvalde,
j Mr. Zoll spoke interestingly of
the dependability of the Lime-
stone Rock Asphalt mine prod-
ucts as a paving material. He
answered numerous questions
and stated he hoped to interest
the citizens in paving their
streets with his product.
Wm. Jaroszewski spoke hope-
fully of the favorable outlook for
connecting up Highway 95.
The committee on Recreation
grounds reported satisfactory
progress indicating all would be
in readiness by the time school
closed. Toastmaster Koether
spoke of the convenient and at-
tractive improvements of the
Royal Cafe and as a result the
club gave Mr. Macha a rising
vote of appreciation for the pri
vate alcove that proved so invit-
ing on this occasion. All plans
were rushed to completion in
order that the Business Men’s
Club might be the first to be
served in this pleasing environ-
uuent. A special chicken supper
was faultlessly served.
By unanimous vote the hour of
meeting was changed to 7:30 P.

Class Play Well Received
A packed house greeted the
Senior Class play of St. Lud-
mila’s Academy on the occasion
of their presentation Thursday
night of last week. The selec-
tion was quite an unusual type,
being of a more serious nature
than previous productions, but
under the experienced and skil-
ful training of Miss Ella Lillian
Stratman, they were all at their
best For the Love of Johnny.’’
Miss Susie Marek was at all
times resourceful and clever,
while Miss Vlasta Baros was
truly villianous in her meanness.
Miss Ella Seidenberger gave a
most likable and natural portray-
al of her part. Joe Novak Jr.,
in his diabolical plots, carried a
difficult role but did it well. Tim
Bily played the hen-pecked hus-
band so well that friends will
anxiously await his next ap-
pearance. Alois Janak played
with such earnestness that all the
audience was in sympathy with
him in winning his girl. Emmett
Schroeder certainly was pictur-
esque and well made up in his
role of the Indian and surprised
everyone in his interpretation.
Edward Mikesh played the priest
with commendable reverence
Johnny and Mr. Woods, a double
role, played by Benedict Janak,
was both effective and convinc-
ing.
The High School Orchestra,
directed by Mrs. Thulemeyer.
furnished pleasurable music
throughout the evening, with a
delightful saxophone solo by
Miss Idella Othold.
The gross receipts of the even-
ing were $70, and with the small
admission fee charged, one can
well imagine that the house was
full and the class was greeted
with many compliments in ap-
preciation of their efiorts.
