Mail volume in the Sealy
area contributed to a new nat-
ional record of nearly 64 billion
pieces of mail, including a bil-
lion pieces of parcel post, dur-
ing fiscal year 1960 ended last
June 30, Postmaster R. A. Eng-
•Oring, Jr. said.
Based on advance Information
from the Annual Report of the
Department, which has been
made available to Postmaster
Engelking, it was revealed that
the present day figures repre-
sent an increase of 25 per cent
over the 1953 volume which to-
taled 50.9 billion pieces.
This increase, along with a
sharp discontinuance of mail-
carrying trains in recent years,
has helped foster a complete
revolution in postal transport-
ation including far more exten-
sive use of highway vehicles,
he said. Locally, the transport-
ation pattern for Sealy has
changed in the following man-
ner: the discontinuance of six
' mall trains has been replaced by
four mall trucks and two High-
way Post Offices, which pro-
vide a faster and more direct

Named Homecoming
Queen Here Friday '

team, Miss Diane Hluchan was
presented as 1960 Sealy High
School homecoming queen at
the Walter-Sealy game here
Friday night. The daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Woodrow Hluchan,
she was escorted by Eugene
Hajdik, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Louis Hajdik, after she was
driven around the field in a
red convertible by Clyde Froe-
bel, son of Mr. and Mrs. Arth-
ur Froebel.
Miss Hluchan received a bou-
quet of yellow mums from
James Wenzel, son of Mr. and
Mrs. C. W. Wenzel, and other
team members lined up to plant
a kiss on the cheek of the new
queen.
Miss Hluchan was chosen by
the Tigers from the senior
class members. She is head
cheerleader and member of the
band.
The approaching holiday season and Christmas dec-
orations and awards for the town of Sealy provided
the main topic of discussion at the chamber meeting
Monday night at the fire station. W. F. Remmert pre-
resided in the absence of Carlos Hintz, chamber presi-
dent, who has been on the sick list for several days.
Wallis Legion Post

Wallis Legion Post 200, Am-

November 11th celebration Fri-
day. A parade will start at 10
a.m. and wind its way along
Highway 36 to the Legion Hall,
where a barbecue dinner and
•upper of chicken, beef, and
sausage will be served family-
style.
Float prizes will be given in
various categories. A band con-
cert by several high school
bends is planned for extra en-
tertainment. Cakes and ko-
laches and other drinks will
also be available.
A dance with music by Ray

Today 85 per cent of the vast
city delivery fleet — operating
under a modernization and im-

1954 — is composed largely of
new types of standard, commer-

vehicles. This conversion, he
noted, has meant the “retire-
ment" of worn out units —
many in use for ten years or
more — which, in turn, has
greatly reduced maintenance
costs for the Postal Service. In
Sealy only one contract postal
vehicle is in operation, serving
in a dual capacity for parcel
post delivery and letter carrier

Tigers Lose
Dist.; Host
Eagle Lake
—By Barry Hluchan
The Tigers took their first
district loss Friday night as
Waller shoved by 20-6. This
gives the Tigers a 2-1 district
record while Waller has 3-0.
The Bulldogs won the toss
and elected to receive. They
quickly drove to the goal and
with 11:02 still showing, Don
Snow ran the final yard for the
TD. The conversion was also
run by Snow to give the Bull-
dogs an 8-0 lead. Later in the
quarted Sealy punted on a
fourth down and Walter took
over on their own 20. A few
plays later Larry Pell made a
breakaway and ran 65 yards
for the tally. The try for the
conversion was missed.
In the second quarter Sealy
started a drive from their own
40. In twelve plays they blasted
60 yards with Doug Franks
carrying for the final three
yards This made the halftime
score 14-6 for Walter.
The third quarter was start-
ed off as Walter kicked to Sealy
but neither team could get near
the goal during the quarter. In
the fourth quarter Linseisen
scampered 40 yards to paydirt
for Walter. The conversion was
missed to give Walter a 20-6
lead which was the final score.
Fathers of the Tiger team
members were honored by be-
ing seated in a row on the side-
lines. They sat in chairs with
the son’s jersey number on the
back.
The Tigers will host the Ea-
gle Lake Eagles Friday night.
There is still a chance for Sealy
to tie for district if East Ber-
nard upsets Waller and Sealy
defeats Eagle Lake.

In Accident Sunday
At East Bernard
Although not seriously hurt,
Mrs. W. B. Temple received a
neck sprain in a Sunday night
accident, which has caused her
to be in traction for some time,
with some pain and discomfort.

Bernand at 6:30 p.m. Sunday.
Their 1955 Pontiac was heavily
damaged.
