Church and Trinity Lutheran
Church, both in Victoria, and St.

Auxiliary.
A cake, beautifully indicating
the holy Easter season was de-
livered to Trinity Lutheran
Home for the resident’s Easter
dinner by Sister Charles’ Soph-
omore Class of St. Paul High
School. It was of such artistic
design that the administrator
had the cake on display at the
Saturday noon meal, so all the
residents could view it before
it was cut and served.
The sisters trom St. Paul’s
High School and St. Ludmila’s
Academy visited the residents
of Trinity Lutheran Home on
Easter morning. In addition to
the visits in the rooms, . they

Told What Some City Is Thinking
Editor’s note: The Peach
Creek Philosopher on his John-
son grass farm on Rt. 3 dis-
cusses thinking this week. At
least we think that’s what he’s
doing.
Dear editar:
March is always a good
month for newspapers to blow
odder it sounds. I can’t get it in
my mind how a city can think.
I don’t know how many people
there are in Hanoi, but there
must be some there who don’t
think like Ho Chi Min says they
think, and as a clincher, there
must be some there who don’t
think at all, and even Ho Chi
would be hard put to tell me
what somebody who hasn’t
thought, thinks.
The whole thing would be
somewhat like your telling
President Johnson, should he
ask, what Shiner thinks.
You could tell him something
all right, but unless you talked
to everybody in town and they
all agreed unanimously, it
wouldn’t be very accurate. This
is not to imply of course that
there’s anybody there who
doesn’t think at all, like in
Hanoi.
And besides, by the time your
telegram got to Johnson, half
the women and one or two men
would already have changed
their mind.
When somebody tries to tell
me what some city is thinking,
I back off and try to counter it
with what this Johnson grass
farm is thinking. I usually come
up with nothing.
Yours faithfully,
J. A.

FFA Father And Son
Barbecue Held
The Shiner chapter of Future 1
Farmers of America held its ;
annual father and son barbecue, .
honoring the father, Tuesday i
night, March 21, 1967 at Legion
Park. There were approximate- i
ly one hundred and thirty pres- ;
ent, including fathers, guests <
and FFA boys. (
Kenneth Tenberg led the J
group in prayer before the
serving of the meal. The menu
consisted of barbecued chicken, .
potato salad, beans, coffee and .
soda pop.
The meeting was opened with
the chapter president, Robert .
Fikac, presiding. After the
opening ceremonies, in which ;
each officer gave the purpose of
his station, the president gave '
a hardy welcome to all. He pre-
sented Wayne Koenning, chap-
ter reporter, who gave an in- .
teresting summary of the chap- ;
ter’s activities during the past
year. The next part of the pro-
gram, when David Little and
Max Seidenberger were made
honorary members of the chap-
ter, proved to be a very im-
pressive ceremony. Those tak-
ing part in this ceremony were
the chapter officers, Robert Fi-
kac, Morris Boedeker, Gary
Bender, Tommy Boedeker,
Wayne Koenning and Darrel
Wehmann.
Six Greenhand boys were in
charge of the next part of the
program, which was the build-
ing of the FFA emblem. As the
boys were building the emblem
they gave the purpose and sig-
nificance of each part of the
emblem. Those on this part of
the program were Donald Boe-
deker, Larry Krpec, Marvin
Dolezal, Lawrence Hinze, John-
nie Hundl and Warren Bender.
President Fikac introduced
Clyde Otto, president of the Shi-
ner Chamber of Commerce, who
presented the Chamber of Com-
merce awards to Warren Ben-
der, Wayne Koenning and
Johnny Moeller, (see separate
article elsewhere in the Ga-
zette)
Billy Turek was in charge of
the foundation and scholarship
awards. Billy presented medals
to the following boys: Star
Greenhand went to Warren
Bender; Star Chapter Farmer of
the vocational agriculture II
class was Wayne Koenning;
Star Chapter Farmer of the vo-
cational agriculture HI class
was Johnny Moeller. Robert Fi-
kac received the crop and live-
stock farming awards and
Johnny Moeller received the
farm mechanics award. Law-
rence Hinze, Wayne Koenning
and Johnny Moeller received
the scholarship pins for having
the highest average in their
classes.
The meeting was closed with
the regular closing ceremonies.
A special thanks to the Amer-
ican Legion for the use of the
park, to all who helped make
the barbecue a success and to
Zelmon Polk for a fine job of
barbecuing.

Little League, Babe Ruth, Pony Leagues
It’s not too early to start thinking about the Baseball Season
which will be here before you know it.
+ LITTLE LEAGUE — t
Let’s get the ball rolling for another Little League season. We
need the help of approximately sixty or more young lads that
will sign up for the local teams.
Boys between the ages of 9-12 years will be eligible to play.
However, this age will be set up for those boys that are 9 years
old before August 31 of this year and 12 years old, but not yet
attained their 13th birthday by August 1. This rule will not carry
any exceptions. •

former has more influence than
the latter, the number of pages
in a newspaper doesn’t mean
it’s the most influential, any
more than the athlete with the
biggest feet is the fastest or the
politician who talks the most
says the most.
At any rate, with a steady
supply of wind-blown papers
I’ve been getting in a lot or
reading and I’ve been noticing a
strange expression occurring
and re-ocCurring in all of them.
The expression tries to tell us
what some city is thinking.
For example, Sec. Rusk will
say, “Hanoi thinks such and
such,” or even “Hanoi says.”
Somebody else will say “What
will Peking think about this?”
Or “Moscow will think this is
escalation.”
You get the drift.

QUESTION: I received a
form from social security to
report my 1966 earnings. Since
my tax return has not yet been
completed I don’t know exact-
ly how much I earned in my
business last year. Shall I fur-
nish an estimate of my earn-
ings now or wait until my tax
return is completed and report
the exact amount?
ANSWER: Wait until you
know the exact amount of your
earnings for 1966. Complete the
report as soon as your earnings
information is available, but be
sure you get it in before April
17, 1967.
QUESTION: My father en-
tered a local hospital but in a
few days was transferred to
another hospital. Under Medi-
care does he have to pay the
first $40 charges to the second
hospital?
ANSWER: No, if a patient
re-enters the same or another
hospital within 60 days he
does not have to pay the $40
deductible again.
QUESTION: What earnings
must I count in determining if
I exceeded the $1500 earnings
limitation?
ANSWER: Earnings from
work of any kind, whether or
not it is covered by the social
security law must be counted in
figuring your total earnings.
Total wages (not just take-
home pay) and all net earnings
from self-employment you
earned between January 1 and
December 31 must be counted.
However, income from savings,
investments, pensions, and in-
surance do not count as earn-
ings for social security pur-
poses.
A miscellaneous bridal
shower, honoring Miss Mary
Ann Hermes, bride-elect of
Richard Holdiman, was held at

Saturday, March 11, 1967 at
7:30 p.m.
To the strains of “Here
Comes the Bride”, played by
Mrs. Robert Lee Meyer, the

After the introduction of the
bride-elect by Miss Judy
Wright of Houston, the bride
opened the many gifts, which
were recorded by Miss Louise
Marie Valis and passed around
and displayed by Misses Delores
and Carol Zimmerman. During
the opening of gifts, softly
played background music was
provided by a record player.
Miss Doris Simper presided
at the guest register.
The refreshment table held a
centerpiece of yellow flowers
flanked by yellow tapers. The
shower cake was decorated with
yellow roses and green leaves
with “Best Wishes, Mary Ann
and Richard” inscribed in green.
Chicken salad sandwiches, po-
tato chips, pickles, mints and
yellow-tinted iced punch were
also served. Miss Judy Wright
served the cake and Miss Carol
Zimmerman ladled the punch.
Misses Doris Simper and De-
lores Zimmerman assisted in
serving.
The color theme of yellow
was carried out in all appoint-
ments.
The honoree graciously
thanked the guests for all the
beautiful gifts and the hostesses
for arranging the shower. She
invited all to the Wedding Mass
Saturday, April 8 at 2:00 p.m.
in the Shiner Catholic Church.
The hostesses remembered
the bride with a set of tur-
quoise Club Aluminum Cook-
ware. Mrs. Edward Kokas,

charge of this lovely pre-nup-
tial affair.
