noted that all of the lettermen

Hicks And
Chicks Square
Dance Club
On Saturday evening of last
week the Hicks and Chicks, and
Foot Stompers, performed at
the Retama Rest Home for
those who are confined there as
well as visitors. Everyone had
such an enjoyable time enter-
taining for these fine people
and we hope that they will
invite us again.
After leaving the rest home
we journeyed to Elgin for their
monthly dance, which is held at
the VFW hall. The H;cks and
Chicks brought home Elgin's
banner by having the most
number of people from a club
present. Those attending from
Bastrop were: Mr. and Mrs.
Jerry Neef, Sr., Mr. and Mrs.
Gary Crain, Mr. and Mrs. Roy
Kana, Mr. and Mrs. Philip
Lester, Mike and Philip;
Margaret Pfeiffer, Sandy
Dickinson, Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Evans and Keith, Mr.
and Mrs. Jim DeBaun, Mr. and
Mrs. Charles Redmon, Mr. and
Mrs. Ben Welsch, Ricky and
Kippy.
Everyone had a great time
and are looking forward to the
big Masquerade Dance in
October.
If you plan on getting in the
next class, better call Philip and
let him know.

Bastrop County as a whole,
as weil as the towns of Bastrop,
Smithville and Elgin, is grow-
ing rapidly and is in what is
considered an "active area".
The picturesque site of the
town of Bastrop, flanked on one
side by the Colorado River and
on the other by a stretch of low
lying hills covered with beauti-
ful pine trees has attracted
many people from the larger
cities, and land sales have
increased markedly, thus caus
ing the land title profession to
benefit thereby. The towns
have much to recommend them
beauty of landscape, good
highways, ample water supply,
smog free atmosphere, recrea
tional areas, the Bastrop State
Park, a golf course, the
Buescher State Park, a Boy
Scout Camp Area, a Steam
Plant which generates electric-
ity for the Lower Colorado
River Authority, progressive
banks and Savings and Loan
Associations, and burgeoning
subdivisions everywhere.
The Bastrop Abstract Com-
pany has felt the growing pains
of the community and is con-
tributing its part to help the
growth. Modern equipment and
methods are being used. How-
ever, in spite of the increased
work load, and the rapid pace of
"progress", the policy of the
company is still, as it always
has been, thoroughness, quality
of work, and integrity in its
dealing. Every order, large or
small, is given the same careful
attention. Friendliness is also
one of its attributes.
Every phase of the com
pany's operations is a pleasing
blend of the "old" with the
"new", and pride in its past
with a forward look to the
future! ___
