The deadline for filing for a
place on the ticket for the A-
pril 5 school trustee election
is March 25, County Supt. A-
dolph Jurajda announces.
At the same time he pointed
out that the board of trustees
in each district will canvass the
returns of the election in its
district, a departure from the
procedure of previous years
when the commissioners’court
was the canvassing body. And
since the trustees are to do
the canvassing, they are not
permitted to serve as judges or
clerks in the election, the
superintendent said.
The commissioners’ court
will, however, canvass the re-
turns of the county trustee
election as in the past.
Expiring at this time are the
terms of three county trustees:
W. C. Langlotz of Precinct 1,
H. L. F. Doerr of Precinct 2 and
Emil J. Grieve of Precinct 3.

Hunting, Dominoe King
(Reprinted from Robin Hood Kernels)
This 6 feet 4 inches of brawn is Henry
“Hank” Rotter, owner of Hank’s Park Gro-
cery near La Grange, Texas, and a loyal
Robin Hood dealer.
Hank has three hobbies: hunting, fishing,
and dominoes, and although he’ll modestly
admit he may not be the best hunter or
fiaberman in the country, although he un-
doubtedly belongs toward the top, he is
"the best domino player in South Texas,”
~bar no,'®. Challengers are invited to stop
by his clean and pleasant store any day to
sit cross the table from him and to worry
about how to get rid of his double six.
Ideally located in a beautiful park filled
with giant live oak ti-ees, Hank's Park Gro-
cery is but one of Hank Roller's vocatiuns,
which include the operation of a filling
station, a domino hall, an outdoor barbecue
pit and a tourist court. He and his charming
wife are proud as pie of their three lovable
children, Hank, Jr, 6; Arlene, 4; and
Junelle, 7 months.
