The following notice, which
appeared in the battalion news-
sheet, “The Beachcomber,” was
prepared for the Navy Seabees
sweating in the tropical Solomon
Islands climate during the early
days of the war:
“Some people are forgetting a
notice that appeared on the bul-
letin board regarding dress at
chow. It is not expected that
onyone must sacrifice comfort
to the extent of wearing dress
blue, but on the other extreme,
the simple costume of a dog-tag
seems hardly enough.”

Last Rites For
Julius Goebel Held
Sunday Afternoon
At the home of his daughter,
Mrs. Richard Kloss, at 6:40 a.m.
on Saturday, Feb. 14th, Julius
Goebel, one of our favorite citiz-
ens of the county quietly passed
away and entered the incorrput-
ible glory of the higher life. He
had reached the age of 67 years,
5 months, and 5 days.
His spirit, freed from all troub-
le will rejoice in the land of light.
He was one of those kind and
genial persons, respected by all
who knew him. Those who knew
him best loved him most, a
faithful husband, a kind and
most sacrificing father, a true
friend and a good neighbor.
While he is gone from our midst,
as death has claimed him, he yet
lives in the loving words and
deeds of kindness that remain
in the memories of those whom
he has left behind. His aim was
to discharge every duty that de-
volved upon him. His predo-
minating spirit of justice unto
all men and ill will towards
none prevailed at all times.
Born on Sept. 9th, 1881, a son
of Rudolph Goebel and wife, pio-
neer settlers of the Millheim
community, he was born on the
same place that his grandfather
bought in 1848, and family anti-
cipated a centennial family re-
union this year at the family’s
original homestead, being in the
family’s possession for 100 years.
On Nov. 30th, 1899 he was
united in marriage to Miss Tonie
Suhr. To this union two daugh-
ters were born, who both survive
the father, Mrs. Richard Kloss
and Mrs. Fred Schluens, both of
Millheim. He also leaves to
mourn four grandchildren and
two sisters, Mrs. Bertha Beshon-
er, of Sealy, and Mrs. Clara
Necker, of San Antonio.
Upon their marriage the young
couple took over the old home-
stead, engaged in farming until
the death of his devoted wife on
Dec. 27th, 1944, after which he
made his home mostly with his
daughters, where he received
the tender care and nursing,
being in failing health for more
than two years.
He was a member of the
O.D.H.S. Nagel Lodge No. 299 of
Millheim, presiding as its presi-
dent since its installation 36
years ago. He also served as
Constable of Justice Precinct No.
4, for 30 years, declining re-
election due to ill health two
years ago.
In the presence of a large num-
ber of friends and relatives he
was laid to rest in the Millheim
cemetery Sunday afternoon, Feb.
15th, Pete Etlinger Funeral home
directing. R. A. Engelking, Sr.,
conducting the funeral services,
assisted by the secretary of the
lodge J. E. Schaffner. Acting
pall bearers were J. E. Schaf-
fner, Richard Lorentz,, Walter
Schneider, Gus Schneider, Fred
Palm, Alfred Severin.
The Millheim and Cat Spring
choir rendered appropriate songs.
The grave was beautifully de-
corated with floral offerings, tes-
tifying the love and affection of
his many friends. May his et-
ernal slumber be sweet and rest
and peace be with him forever-
more. —Contributed.
Fewer Texans Die
As Traffic Rises
Texans traveled approximate-
ly two million more miles in
1947 than they did in 1946, but
there was an increase of only
six in the number of killed in
traffic accidents last year, the
Department of Public Safety
said Monday in a preliminary
report at Austin.
The tabulation included acci-
dents reported through January
18 and was given as a prelimin-
ary figure. Final accident figures
will be announced March 15, the
Public Safety Department’s stat-
istical division said.
The total killed in 1947 was
1,965. The 1946 figure was 1,-
959.
This gave a death rate per 100
million miles traveled of 8.6 in
1947, compared with 4.9 in 1946.
In the actual number of per-
sons killed, the preliminary re-
port showed the percentage of
increase in 1947 over 1946 was
.3 per cent, while the mileage
traveled was up a flat 10 per
cent.
The economic loss of 32,207
accidents in which some person
was injured during 1947 was
estimated at $80,003,213. The to-
tal number injured was 57,973.
