Entered as second class mail matter at the post office in

POSTAL RATES UP AGAIN—POSTAL SALARIES HIKED
ONCE MORE—In what President Kennedy calls “a dynamic new
era” (of tax reduction and economic growth) postal patrons will
pay 20 per cent more for a mailing service that is decreasing even
faster than rates are rising.
Beginning January 7, first-class stamps jump from 4c to 5c
(20%). Air Mail goes up from 7c to 8c (14.3%). Postcards in-
crease 33%% (from 3c to 4c)'as do unsealed Christmas cards.
Air Mail postcards, now 5c will be hiked 20%—to 6c each.
Argument is to get the department out of the red. Real rea-
son is pay raises for 1,600,000 Federal workers. The way mail is
being handled nowadays (four days to deliver an ad order first-
class—Austin to Round Rock—only 20 miles away) it’s like tip-
ping a waitress who ignores your table. Hardly deserved.
If mail service is now to become dynamic—the postal patrons
certainly are ready for it. They have been waiting patiently now
through three administrations and service has decreased with
each succeeding one.
Each time there has been an increase something new has
been added. This time it’s specially designed uniforms for the
clerical workers in the postoffice. They will begin wearing the
new garb, furnished by Uncle Sam (that’s you), beginning De-
cember 1.

Remember when grocery ads looked like this? It was
1940. Since then INFLATION, caused largely by irrespon-
sible government spending has cheapened the value of the
American dollar ... sent the price of everything skyrocket-
ing. Today a dollar is worth just 47c compared to 1940.
In 1940 the cost of running the Federal Government was
just $9 billion. Today our annual deficit is almost that
much. Yet the government continues to spend, spend,
spend... money it doesn’t have creating a tremendous
debt that someday must be paid by future taxpayers.
If the American economy is to prosper, government
spending must be cut... then badly-needed tax cuts for
individuals and business can be initiated.
Individual enterprise made this country great... not
an all-powerful weliare state, that first must take from
the people before it can give.
Return fiscal sanity to Washington... send DAVE
OAKES to Congress on November 6th. Oakes is the Re-
publican-Conservative candidate.
Vote Republican. Vote Conservative
Send DAVE OAKES to Congress

Hochheim Prairie
Home Coming Big
Success October 14
The third annual Hochheim
Prairie School Homecoming was
held October 14 at the school
house near Turner Hall. Ap-
proximately 85 guests register-
ed.
The beautifully laden dinner
table held a harvest arrange-
ment of oats, broom corn, flax,
red-top cane, ear-corn, cotton
bolls and seasonal fruits, all
home grown. The arrangement
was centered with a huge
pumpkin. Dinner consisted of
a basket lunch. Pastor Dolton
asked the blessing.
At 2:00 p.m. a short program
was held with Robert Schmidt
as chairman assisted by Mrs.
Edmund Langhoff. To break the
ice, a few tongue twisters of
early school days were enjoy-
ed. This was followed by a
spelling match. Mrs. Wilfred
Leist, the former Lena Blank,
proved to be the best speller
and Edmund Langhoff the run-
ner-up. Janet Schmidt gave a
short poem, “The Little Elf.”
There was a reading, “My Get
Up And Go Has Got Up And
Went,” by Mrs. Emil Kuck. A
volunteer recitation, “The Dog
Ran Away” by Calvin Blank
received special applause. The
program closed with the group
singing “The More We Get To-
gether,” “School Days,” “Am-
erica,” “Old Black Joe” and
“Faith of Our Fathers,” David
Janak furnished accordian mu-
sic. Four attendance prizes
were drawn. So an enjoyable
day came to a close. Quoting a
past senior student, “I sure en-
joy coming to Hochheim Prairie
School Homecoming.”
Past student Mrs. Norma
Adams of Cuero was the oldest
and Daryl Leist was the young-
est present. Mr. and Mrs. Mon-
roe Rathkamp and family of
Houston came the farthest.
Those in attendance were
from Yoakum, Cuero, Tivoli,
Gonzales, Houston, Shiner and
Laredo.
During the preceding busi-
ness it was moved to have the
School Homecoming again next
year on Sunday, October 13,
with a basket dinner. The
steering committee consits of
Mr. and Mrs. Gus Dieringer,
Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Leist and
Mr. and Mrs. T. L. Wagener.
God be with you ’til we meet
again in 1963.

SMOKE IN YOUR EYES
It was a clear, crisp fall after-
noon, and Pete decided to rake
his lawn. He carried the leaves
to his back yard and burned
them just at the entrance of the
alley which ran along the rear
of his lot.
The leaves were wet, and
Pete found that he had to stir
them occasionally in order for
proper burning, resulting in a
dense cloud of smoke.
Al intended to drive his car
into the alley in which Pete was
burning the leaves. As he ap-
proached the alley, he entered
a dense cloud of smoke, so
dense in fact that his vision was
completely obscured. He never-
theless continued to drive his
car into the alley, although he
did reduce his speed.
As Al entered the alley Pete
was standing next to the curb,
completely engulfed by the
smoke. Al’s car struck Pete.
Pete sued Al claiming that
he was negligent in driving in-
to the smoke when he could not
see. Al, on the other hand, said
that Pete was negligent in
standing in the alley in such
a dense cloud of smoke when
he knew that cars were driven
in the alley.
Was Al negligent? Can Pete
collect from him for his dam-
ages? Pete would not win his
case, unless the jury found him
not negligent in standing in the
alley in a cloud of dense smoke.
However, the courts have held
that a driver must exercise care
commensurate with the situa-
tion. It has been recognized in
a number of cases that more
care than normal is required of
a driver traveling through
smoke which limits his visibi-
lity.
It is the duty of the operator
of a car to drive it at such a
rate of speed that he can bring
his car to a standstill within
the distance that he can plainly
see objects or obstructions
ahead of him. If he continues
to proceed when he is unable
to see because his vision is ob-
scured, he is negligent. When
the situation on a highway is
such that one’s vision is com-
pletely obscured, it is his duty
to slow down or even stop un-
til the cause of such obscured
vision is at least in part re-
moved.

Supreme Court said nix: such
laws punished without a fair
trial.
In later years Congress has
tried now and then to penalize
persons who have not cooperat-
ed with Congressional Investi-
gating Committees, in one case
by cutting their salaries and re-
quiring Senate re-confirmation
before they got paid. The U. S.
Supreme Court held: The law
is unconstitutional. Congress
could not thus punish a person
without a court trial.
Usually a bill of attainder
strikes at a few persons by bur-
dening them without fair warn-
ing or hearing.
Our legislature may penal-
ize anyone who breaks its laws.
If you don’t pay your auto re-
gistration on time, you have to
pay a penalty automatically.
Such a penalty does not violate
the bill of attainder clause.
Ex post facto laws would
make crimes out of acts which
when they were done were law-
ful. In one case a new law took
away a court defense which had
been allowed. In another case
a state law cut the jurors allow-
ed in a criminal trial from 12
to 8. The U. S. Supreme Court
said that no such law could ap-
ply to past crimes. A person ac-
cused might be put to a disad-
vantage.
The ex post facto clause ap-
plies only to legislative acts, not
to new court interpretations.
One law changed the punish-
ment for murder from hanging
to electrocution. The courts held
the law valid. It did not change
the punishment.
The procedure for the trial,
UNFAIR LAWS
Our Constitution says Con-
gress shall pass no bill of at-
tainder nor any ex post facto
law. The fear that our Parlia-
ment might repeat what the
early English parliament did,
lead our founding fathers to
limit the power of Congress.
1. In a bill of attainder a leg-
islative body punishes someone
without a court trial, most often
someonq the lawmakers don’t
like.
2. After the Civil War, some
northern states tried to keep
Confederate supporters from
suing in their courts. The U. S.
