NICE FIRM HEADS—
LETTUCE, head
Miss Jeanette Dierschke
bride-elect of Gus Targac, was
complimented with a miscellan-
eous shower Sunday afternoon,
Dec. 14 at 2:00 p.m. at the St.
Joseph Catholic Gym, Moulton.
Seasonal flowers, poinsettias
and asters were placed at vant-
age points throughout the hall.
For the occasion, Jeanette
chose a mint green taffeta dress
with brown accessories. She was
presented with a bronze mum
corsage. Her mother, Mrs. Rein-
hold Dierschke and the prospec-
tive groom’s mother, Mrs. Louis
Targac and her grandmother,
Mrs. August Madala, were pre-
sented white carnation corsages.
Rita Lou Dierschke and Shir-
ley Madala escorted the bride-
elect, mothers and grandmother
to their place of honor while
Shirley Dierschke rendered ap-
propriate music.
Mrs. James Valenta acted as
Mistress of Ceremonies and pre-
sented the following program:
A reading entitled “Gus Tar-
gac’s Courting” was given by
Vernell Dierschke and How To
Perserve a Husband” by Doro-
thy Dierschke. Another reading
“Can’t Remember the Date”
was given by Margaret Targac.
Two songs “To Know Him Is To
Love Him” and Sentimental
Journey” by Lillie Mae Micha-
lec and Diana Dierschke, ac-
companied by Shirley Dierschke
at the piano.
The bride-elect opened her
many lovely gifts which were
displayed on a linen covered
table. Assisting her were the
girls who had participated in
the program.
Miss Dierschke thanked the
hostesses for arranging the
shower and the many guests
for the lovely and useful gifts,
and invited all to the Wedding
Mass at St. Joseph’s Catholic
Church Jan. 3 and also to the
dance.
The refreshment table was
laid with a lace cloth over red
satin. The centerpiece added a
holiday air with red wax can-
dles in crystal holders placed on
either side of the white Christ-
mas tree trimmed with multi-
colored ornaments. The color
theme was again repeated on
the cake which was iced in
white, topped with tiny silver
teardrops. In one corner of the
cake were three red styrofoam
bells trimmed with red satin
ribbon and glitter. The center
of the cake was decorted in en-
velope form and inscribed upon
it was “Best Wishes to Jeanette
and Gus”. Dainty white net and
red satin edged the cake’s base.
Refreshments consisted of
chicken salad sandwiches, pick-
les, mints, chips, cake and cof-
fee which were served. Vernell
Dierschke served the cake
Shirley Dierschke poured
coffee. Also assisting with
serving were Rose Ann
Margaret Targac and Dorothy
Dierschke.

Following the delicious ban-
quet a most enjoyable program

HUNT’S — TOMATO
SAUCE, 8 oz. can, 3 for
College Station. — The pop-
ular Farmer’s Tax Guide, infor-
mational booklet on farm and
ranch income tax matters, will
De available in the near future.
Printing, points out C. H. Bates,
extension farm management
specialist, has been delayed due
to changes made in the tax laws
oy Congress.
Bates calls attention to sev-
eral important changes which
nave been made in the tax code.
An additional 20 percent first-
year depreciation write-off is
now allowed on new machinery
and equipment with a limit of
$10,000
on an
$20,000
return.
Casualty losses on uninsured
business property are now de-
ductible as ordinary income
losses, says Bates. In the past
if a farmer lost a barn by fire
or storm, the deduction for any
uninsured loss was offset first
by capital gains. The loss is now
reportable on Schedule F the
same as depreciation and other
business expenses.
Too, the law now permits a
farmer to carry back an “op-
erating loss” for three years in-
stead of two. Bates points out
that this permits a loss in 1958
operations to offset 1955 income
on which tax was paid.
Bates urges all agriculturists
to keep their “business fences”
in top shape, and consult a rep-
resentative of the Internal Rev-
enue Service or a competent
tax accountant on important
tax questions. Local county
agents, he adds, will make an
announcement when the Tax
Guides are available.

Freight is our business"... and we like yours1
New industries are joining older ones in Texas at a
brisk clip, because the State has so much to offer indus-
try.
Southern Pacific has something for industry here,
too—modern and progressive freight transportation
service. Our revolutionary new Hydra-Cushion Under-
frame cars, for instance, are just the ticket for fragile
freight that needs top protection. S. P. piggyback
service is just the ticket for many shipments.
And an industrial site on an S. P. spur track is just
the ticket for any industry locating in Texas. We
can help shippers here in a great many ways. Let us
show you how we can help you.

Quail Season
Brings Warning
On Gun Safety
AUSTIN—With the remind-
er that quail season begins De-
cember 1, comes the warning
“Don’t become a fenceline fa-
tality,” from the director of
law enforcement of the Game
and Fish Commission.
“Hunters are in for one of
the best seasons ever,” the
director said. “With the abun-
dant cover growth there should
be plenty of quail throughout
the state.
“Safety afield cannot be
stressed too much. It would be
a good idea to wear bright red
or yellow clothing while hunt-
ing.
“Guns should not only be
unloaded while traveling to the
hunting area, but also, as an
added protection, while cros-
sing fences. If hunting alone,
lay the gun down along the
fence line pointing away from
the cross-over spot,” he added.
Cripple losses can be reduced
in dense grasses by taking a
good pointer or retriever dog
along.
“Hunters should remember,”
he concluded, “that shotguns
must be plugged for a three-
shell capacity.” Shotguns may
not be larger than 10 gauge.
Bag limit is 12 quail a day
and not more than 36 a week,
or in possession. Shooting hours
are from one-half hour before
sunrise to one-half hour after
sunset.

AUSTIN—Quail releases
from the Tyler Quail Hatchery
have totaled 54,162 so far this
year, according to the assistant
executive secretary of the Game
and Fish Commission. More
than five thousand on hand will
be released in December to
wind up the year’s operations.
Releases on private lands this
year accounted for 28,493 quail.
Part of the cost of these birds
was furnished by the landown-
er.
More than 10 thousand quail
were left over for release on
public lands, the assistant sec-
cretary said.
Through a cooperative agree-
ment with the Federal Forest
Service, quail were released in
the Sam Houston, Angelina, and
Davy Crockett national forests.
Other were released around
Lakes Whitney and Texarkana.
These are open hunting areas,
the assistant secretary said, and
quail were put there for public
benefit as well as experimental
purposes.
With the close of the year’s
production, brood stock is being
removed from laying pens. The
hatchery will then undergo a
six-weeks’ clean-up while lay-
ers get a rest. Much of the bob-
white stock will be replaced
for 1959, and a few Coturnix
quail will be culled.
“Every quail released from
the hatchery is banded,” the
assistant secretary said. He
stressed the importance to quail
management of hunters return-
ing bands found on their kill.
Bands may be taken to the
local game warden or sent to
the Game and Fish Commission,
Austin.

Turkeys In 1959
College Station. — If inten-
tions expressed by U.S. turkey
producers in October are car-
ried out, the 1959 crop of birds
will exceed the number pro-
duced in 1958 and prices will
be lower. But, John McHaney,
extension economist, points out
that these intentions are only
what growers indicate and are
usually the basis for readjust-
ments in later production plans.
Should the October intentions
be carried out, 38 percent more
breeder hens of the light breeds
will be on farms come January
1, 1959 than were kept a year
ago. The number of heavy
breed hens kept will be up
about 7 percent. It must be re-
membered, adds McHaney that
more than 83 percent of all the
turkeys raised in the nation by
head count are birds of the
heavy breeds.
Storage stocks of turkeys on
October 1, 1958 reached a new
record for that month, 161 mil-
lion pounds almost three times
the 10-year average for that
date. McHaney predicts that
production in 1959 will ap-
proach or exceed the record and
that prices to growers will be
lower.
Reasons behind this predic-
tion include the increasing ex-
tent which turkey production
is being encouraged by financ-
ing, contracting and organiza-
tion similar to plans followed
by the broiler industry. If in-
tegration proves as successful
in turkey production as it has
in the broiler business, Mc-
Haney believes that production
will be maintained at high
levels in future years.
During October, 105,025 tur-
keys were tested for pullorum
disease in Texas as compared to
52,070 during the same month
in 1957. This is an increase of
102 percent. From July through
October 240,044 were tested or
60 percent more than for that
period in 1957. For the nation,
increases were also registered,
he said.
K. of C. News
The Knights of Columbus
held their regular meeting
Thursday night, December 18
at the parish gym. Grand
Knight, Henry J. Fietsam open-
ed the meeting. Pledge of Al-
legiance was recited by all
present. Opening prayer was
led by Father Murray of Gon-
zales, followed by the singing
of the opening ode.
After the reading of minutes,
committees gave their reports.
A new system has been start-
ed by the council. Two teams
have been formed. The losers
will have to entertain the win-
ners at the end of the year.
All members whose last names
begin with the letter A thru
L are on one team and all those
whose last names begin with the
letter M thru Z are on the next
team. Thus far M thru Z lead
by a very small margin. So if
the members turn out at the
monthly meetings as they
should, it will prove to be very
interesting as to who wins at
the end of the year.
The next meeting is being
planned to be held in Gonzales
with a social hour and refresh-
ments. More on this part later.

“Holiday Inn’ prevailed as
theme of the annual Shiner
Dance Club’s Christmas formal,
Saturday night, December 27.

ful decor.
Lee Kohlenburg and his
Orch. of New Braunfels fur-
nished music for approximately
eighty five couples
out to enjoy their
“Holiday Inn”.
Several of the
