Dreyer HD Club News
-o-x-o-
The Dreyer Home Demon-
stration Club held their fam-
ily Christmas party Saturday,
December 5 at 7:00 p.m. at the
Dreyer Parish Hall. Eighteen
members and their families
were present. The various com-
mittees did a wonderful job of
decorating the tree and all the
other arrangements for a joy-
ous evening.
Dianna Faye Hoerig opened
the program by saying a “Wel-
come.” Janice Chumchal had a
speech and Ronald Dreyer gave
quite a few selections on his
cornet while the group joined
in singing.
Few games were played then
gifts were exchanged among
the women and gifts were pre-
sented to the children and men.
Alphonse Hartl entertained
the rest of the evening with his
accordion selections of Folk
songs which were enjoyed by
all.
The table decoration was a
DIGESTION TO BE
CAREFULLY CONTROLLED
© © © ©
Indigestion is so common that
many persons hardly give it a
thought. Dr. Geo. W. Cox, State
Health Officer, warns not to
doctor yourself because indi-
gestion can be due to so many
causes that you are apt to be
wrong, and delay in seeing your
doctor may be serious.
Indigestion appears in various
ways. There is the kind that
hits suddenly and violently,
with pain, nausea or vomiting
and takes the “starch” right out
of you. Then there is the kind
that creeps up on you, mani-
festing itself in a feeling of ful-
ness after eating, that lump in
your middle, or maybe a burn-
ing sensation or gnawing feel-
center and white candles
around it. A delicious lunch of
all goodies with coffee and
mirror with red berries in the I sandwiches was served.

ing a few hours after eating.
Other symptoms are excessive
gas, constipation, diarrhea and
a sour bad taste.
Dr. Cox says that indigestion
is not necessarily dangerous,
but can cause you to miss en-
joying life. It may interfere
with your work or your sleep
and may make you a grouch.
Catholic Project
On Historic Site
Here arc some things that
contribute to a feeling of well
being and discourages indiges-
tion: Eat a variety of foods at
regular times and drink plenty
of water every day. Relax and
eat slowly. Have good com-
panionship at mealtimes. Rest
a little while before eating
when tired. Balance work with
play so that you have enough
recreation and exercise geared
to your needs, but do not over-
do it, get plenty of rest and
sleep each night.

When members of the St.
James Catholic church congre-
gation began to pull down the
walls of the old rectory last
week Gonzales lost one of its
oldest landmarks.
It was in the early nineties
that the present building which
is being torn down to make
way for a more modern struc-
ture, was erected during the
term of the Rev. F. P. Garesch,
S. J., who was appointed first
pastor of the church in 1889.
After building the St. Joseph
church he had two rooms built
as a rectory.
This pastor was recalled to
other fields of work shortly
after the church and the two-
room rectory were built, and
in his place came the Rev. Ac-
cesseric who had the two rooms
moved back and two larger
rooms and hall built with a
couple of porches added, mak-
ing it a most comfortable resi-
dence for the local head of the
Catholic church.
Since that time other addi-
tions have been made, the old
house serving long and well
many Catholic pastors who
came to lead the congregation
in worship services down
through the years.
Now it has been torn down
to make room for the new
$19,000 building, the contract
of which has been awarded the
Builders Supply company.
The new structure will house
two offices, three bedrooms, a
sitting room, kitchen, dining
room and bath, a far cry from
that first humble two-room
cottage erected nearly three
quarters of a century ago by an
ambitious Catholic priest and
his congregation.
The building will occupy the
exact location of the older rec-
tory, being placed on a concrete
floating slab foundation with
exterior finish of asbestos shin-
gles. The most modern of as-
phalt tile floors will take the
place of those of rough pine
boards that were in that first
building, as will every other
convenience of these modern
day times.

FOR BATTLESHIP TEXAS MUSEUM — Congressman Clark W. Thompson (center)
recently presented valuable relics to Captain Jack McKeown (left), caretaker of The
Texas, and F. A. Pellerin, museum curator. Among the relics is a picture of Chaplain
Harry William Jones, chaplain on the USS Texas during the Spanish-American war.
Rear Admiral Edward B. Harp presented these mementos to Congressman Thompson
in Washington. Thompson made the presentation aboard the battleship Texas at the
San Jacinto Battlegrounds.

Houston. — Confidence the
83rd Congress, convening Jan-
uary 6, will enact a workable
farm program, was expressed
here Tuesday by Congressman
Clark W. Thompson of the 9 th
Texas District.
“I believe the farm program

how nature takes care of things,
even though they may happen
years and years later. For in-
stance, look how our nose and
ears are located, just to hold
spectacles.

will again embrace fixed pari-
ty,” Congressman Thompson
said. “A sliding scale doesn’t
please anyone.”
Cong. Thompson’s views car-
ry weight, because he is a mem-
ber of the House Agriculture
Committee.
The last several weexs, Cong.
Thompson has been giving
much of his time to a hearing on
the Texas City disaster. His
House resolution 296 sets up a
sub-committee of the judiciary
committee to look into the
claims of Texas City disaster
victims and to suggest how the
government can satisfy such
claims. The loss runs into many
millions of dollars.

chairman of this claims sub-
committee; other members are
Tom Lane of Massachusetts and
Dewitt Hyde of Maryland.
Cong. Thompson during the
last several months has spent
much time visiting every area
in his big district, made up of
Galveston, Chambers, Brazoria,
Matagorda, Jackson, Calhoun,
Victoria, Goliad, Wharton, Fort
Bend, Austin, Waller, Colorado,
Lavaca and Fayette counties.
“Everywhere I have gone, I
have found a lively interest in
what is going on in Washing-
ton,” Mr. Thompson said. “I
believe the people are closer to
what is going on in the capital
than they have been for many
years.”

EARCHING fer GAS for YOU...
Are you the lucky modern lady with natural gas service?
Then you owe a great deal to these men working on a
drilling rig many miles from your home. For if it weren’t
for them, turning on a gas appliance would be as futile
as striking a burned-out match.
These are the modern "49-ers” . . . explorers who tap
the earth’s thick surface . . . looking for hidden deposits
of natural gas and oil.
But the key to your gas service is the never-ending
search for new supplies of this superior fuel... a search
that calls for enormous investments of money and
manpower. And the gas industry will continue to make
these investments . . . will continue to search out new
gas fields ... so long as there is the incentive to en-
courage companies to find, produce, transport and
distribute natural gas.
And when, at last, a supply of natural gas has been
discovered, other segments of the gas industry—the pipe
line companies, and your local gas company—take ovc"
the job of moving it to market. They work hand-in-hand
to provide you dependable natural gas service.
