Louisiana Not to Sell
Texas Motorists License Tags
AUSTIN, Texas, December 30.
—It was announced today by the
Motor Vehicle Devision of the
Texas Highway Department that
the state of Louisiana has issued
instructions to its motor vehicle
registration offices not to sell
1946 license plates to anyone
other than residents of the state
of Louisiana. This action was
taken as a result of repeated re-
quests by Texas and other states
which border on Louisiana, since
these states had been seriously
affected by the issuance of Louis-
iana plates to residents of other
states.
At the present time in various
parts of the state, enforcement
officers are conducting extensive
campaigns directed against mo-
tor vehicle owners operating il-
legally with out-of-state license
plates. The Texas Highway De-
partment has notified such motor
vehicle owners operating with
Louisiana plates that the state
of Louisiana will not issue 1946
plates to them, and that it is in-
tended to continue the cam-
paigns until the end of the pres-
ent Texas registration period,
which is March 31, 1946. It was
again emphasized that persons
operating illegally with out-of-
state license plates may save
themselves the expease of a fine
by voluntarily re-registering at
this time.

Mr. and Mrs. I. G. Janda sold

Lions Club Banquet
Beautiful Success
The Lions’ Club entertained
the ladies or lionesses December
20th with a banquet at the Sea-

is not just a pretty phrase. The
lobby, hall and stairs were beau-
tifully decorated with the Christ-
mas decorations. But the dining
room even excelled these with
lovely flower centerpieces cen-
tering each table and a Christ-
mas tree placed high at the bay
windows.

Lioness, Mrs. Hill, presid-
ed. Mr. Hill introduced the pro-
gram chairman, Lion F. D. (Pap-

side dishes with cocktail and
salad and desert was enjoyed
by thirty one guests.

events in January. He also rec-
ognized the five members who
held the club together during the
war time namely. A. D. Armen-
trout, W. R. Krampitz and S.
E. Tolbirt, Vernon Madden and
J. G. Lummus. He then pre-
sented A. D. Armentrout with
the Lions International secre-
tary button.
Mr. Frizzell, an interesting and
humorous speaker, is widely
known. He is president of Texas
Southeastern Gas Co. with head-
quarters at Bellville.
Lion Hot Shot Brune, and
Mrs. Jane Whitson then distrib-
uted the gifts under the tree
which caused much merriment.
This was followed by an ad-
dress from George W. Hill who
has just returned to civilian life
after serving in the navy for
several years and was rated Lt.
j.g. He is county Superintend-
ent of Public Instructor for
Austin county.
Lion, A. D. Armentrout, fol-
lowed this by several of his own
poems given in his inimitable
manner which provoked much
laughter and also rated him as a
first class poet. The singing of
“Silent Night” concluded this
enjoyable Christmas banquet.

SEALY BOY IN
BROOKS HOSPITAL
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Hicks:
Just a few lines today, since
I don’t have anything to do. How
is everything going around Sea-
ly these days? I hope fine. Not
much news around here except
that I am in the hospital. I am
taking my life easy. I came to
General Brooke Hospital on Dec.
26th and have to stay here about
month before I get out.
I don’t have to drill then it
ain’t so bad, I guess. This is such
nice weather we having these
days. Hope it stays like this.
Pretty soon I’m supposed to get
a 3 days pass. Right now we are
listening to a football game.
Who is going to win this time?
I guess I will qut for today and
listen to the football game.
That’s all today and keep it up
with the good old Sealy News.

GALLOWAY-ESTERAK
The Methodist Church in Wal-
lis was the scene Saturday even-
ing, Dec. 22nd, for the marriage
of Miss Merle Esterak, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Frank
Esterak, to David E. Galloway,
Lieutenant ((jg), United States
Naval Reserve, son of Mr. and
the iate Mrs. Geo. W. Galloway,
Oxford, Mississippi. Rev. Winfred
A. Menking officiated at the
•double ring ceremony. Mrs.
Ruth Westerman of Sealy pre-
sented the nuptial music, and
Mrs. Chesley Boyd of Sealy sang
“1 Love You Truly.”
Ferns and palms formed a
background of greenery. Two
large white baskets of chrysan-
themums beautifully arranged
with white gladiola and mag-
nolia leaves flanked either side
of the altar space. Two floor
candalabra with tall white tap-
ers shed a soft light on the
"bridal group. L. C. Pazderny,
brother-in-law of the bride, serv-
ed as best man, and the grooms-
men included Stuart Spoede, re-
cently returned from the Paci-
fic, Capt. Jerry Svajda, just back
from the European activities,
Jimmie Reed of Lissie, and Rob-
ert Spoede of the Marines. Miss
Emma Lou Brandt, formerly of
Wallis but recently of Dallas,
was maid of honor. She wore a
gown of gold taffeta fashioned
with a bustle effect of ruffles
down the back of the skirt. Mrs.
L. C. Pazderny, sister of the
bride, was matron of honor,
wearing pink with a fitted satin
bodice, sheer yoke edged in ruf-
fles and sheer full skirt. Both the
maid and matron of honor car-
ried bouquets of American Beau-
ty roses.
The bridesmaids were Misses
Pauline Payne, Sue and Dixie
Irvin, Edra Joy Hansen of Bay-
town and Maxine Miller of Edin-
burg. They wore gowns in the
various shades all designed with
fitted bodices, bracelet length
sleeves and full billowy skirts,
and carried bouquets of Ameri-
can Beauty roses.
Ann Carolyn Reed of Lissie
and Marilyn Jo Scroggin were
flower girls scattering rose pet-
als from white baskets. They
were dressed in long pink satin
•dresses. Little James E. Horton
carried the rings on a white satin
pillow. He wore a white satin
suit.
The bride was given in mar-
riage by her father. She wore a
white slipper satin gown, Ed-
wardian style, designed with a
round neckline, sheer yoke fin-
ished with satin folds to the fit-
. ted bodice. Tiny selfcovered but-
tons extended from yoke to
waistline in back. The long fit-
ted sleeves, fastened with simi-
lar buttons, extended to points
over the hands and the full
skirt fell into a soft train. Her
fingertip veil of,silk illusion fell
from a coronet of seed pearls.
Her only piece of jewelry was a
pearl ring which belonged to
her maternal grandmother, Mrs.
Minna Muller. She carried a
white prayer book topped with
white gardenias. The bride’s
mother was attired in a wild
grape colored dinner gown trim-
med in sequins. She wore a cor-
sage of white gladiolas.
The reception following the
•eremony was held in the home
of the bride’s parents. Seasonal
decorations predominated in the
reception rooms — an abundance
of greenery with red berries and
colored lights. The dining room
carried out the bridal motive—
white chrysanthemums and
greenery. The table was laid
with a Mexican drawnwork lin-
m cloth, and the centerpiece ac-
•entuated the bride’s bouquet
with a profusion of white chry-
santhemums and satin ribbon.
At one end was the three tiered
wedding cake topped by wed-
ding bells and decorated with
Rowers in pastel shades. At the
other end nestled the crystal
punch bowl among a riot of
white flowers and greenery.
Double candleholders of crystal
held tall white tapers on either
side of the centerpiece.
Miss Faithe Horton presided
at the bridesbook. Misses Nancy
and Paula Muller of Richmond
and Anna Lee Smith of Simon-
ten, cousins of the bride, served
the punch and wedding cake.
Assisting the hostess were Mrs.
A. L. Smith of Simonton, Mrs.
Jee Janosky, Mrs. Herman
Spoede, Mrs. Bruno Mayer, Mrs.
R. L. Horton, Mrs. A. T. Payne
and Mrs. O. J. Frayard. Out of
town guests in the houseparty
were Mrs. J. C. Jones and Mr.
and Mrs. Henry Muller of Dal-
las.
The bride finished high school
in Wallis. She attended the
University of California in 1944
and graduated from Texas State
College for Women last June. She
is teaching in the Wallis public
sthool at present.
Lt. (jg) Galloway is a grad-
uate of the University of Missis-
sippi and has served two years
in the Navy. He suffered a mor-
tar shell injury on Iwo Jima and
is awaiting his final hospital dis-
charge, after which he will be
reassigned to further duty. After
a short wedding trip to Oxford,
Mississippi, visiting the groom’s
family, Mrs. Galloway will re-
sume her teaching duties in
Wallis.
For the day, all the joy and glad-
ness that the New Year holiday
can possibly bring. For the year,
all the blessings that can be
treasured up for you in 365
golden days.
Come in and see us so we can
wish you a HAPPY NEW
YEAR with a friendly shake of
the hand.

TO CALIFORNIA
E. S. Beggs, Mr. and Mrs. M.
D. Beggs and G. J. Wittenburg
have returned from a motor trip
to Long Beach, California for the
holidays.
They report lovely weather
the entire way on the southern
route to California. But they
could find rooms only one night
on their trip and were forced to
drive through without much
sleep.
They stopped in various cities
and visited saddle shops. Mr.
Wittenburg is a real saddle mak-
er, not only just making them
but doing an artists job in sten-
cil and other forms of artistry
required.
E. S. Beggs had a telegram
awaiting him that his daughter,
Dorothy, had married since he
left Long Beach.
Mr. Beggs is manager of the
L. P. G. Equipment company

Home Demonstration Makes
Christmas Offering to Needy
Through voluntary contribu-
tions from home demonstration
club members a fund of $64.10
was collected by a special com-
mittee from the Austin County
Home Demonstration Council.
The offering was used to pur-
chase 30 cases of canned beans
to be sent for War Relief
through U. N. R. R. A.
Mrs. R. E. Kolves, chairman,
assisted by Mrs. A. C. Mache-
mehl, collected the money and
made arrangements through a
wholesale house for the delivery
of the cases of feed to a shipping
point designated by U.N.R.R.A.
From grateful and thankful
hearts of Austin County home-
makers came this expression of
love and concern for the needy
peoples of war torn lands. It was
a joy to give that others might
have.
4-H Club Girl
Receives Honor
To Myrtle Beckmann, 4-H
member of the Bleiblerville-Wel-
come club, has come the honor
of being recognized as a county
winner in the National Garden
Contest in which girls were al-
lowed to participate for the first
time. Myrtle recently received a
gold plated medal and $12.50 in
War Savings Stamps presented
by the Extension Service and
Texas Seedmen’s Association re-
spectively.
Myrtle’s club project for 1945
was gardening to produce a va-
riety of vegetables for her fam-
ily. From a garden approximate-
ly an acre in size fresh vege-
tables estimated at $1245 were
produced to supply needs of a
family of six. Several hundred
pounds of vegetables were dried
and stored and over 400 contain-
ers canned for the family. With
help from her family, Myrtle
was able to complete a most suc-
cessful project. The garden was
fertilized, well cared for and
carefully planned for production
of a variety of vegetables and
berries.
Myrtle’s abilities in sewing,
cooking, canning, and homemak-
ing are evidences of an all round
good 4-H club member. There is
evidence of splendid cooperation
among the three sisters in the
Beckman family, who help their
parents make their farm home
better.
Mary Bell and Bud Hill
Play Santa to Several
Xmas Eve day Mary Bell Hill
came by the News office and left
subscriptions for friends and
relatives to the paper for an-
other year. When asked where
Bud was said he was out look-
ing for Santa Claus.
This was just another case
where the home people are send-
ign their home town paper to
friends and relatives.
Why not start the paper to
some friend or relative as a New
Year present? They would ap-
preciate the great Headlight of
the South more than anything
else.
The New Year will bring many
news items of interest to the
people and the News will keep
you posted.
Also this year is political year
—so be sure and pay your- poll
tax. Some one said the other
day he did not pay his tax to
vote for a candidate—but to vote
against him. That is the way it
goes. Anyway, pay your poll tax.
