ORGANIZATION TRAINS
STUDENT TEACHERS
The Confraternity of Chris-
tain Doctrine an organization
composed of lay Catholics who
arc interested in teaching re-
ligion to young children. The
Confraternity, recently organ-
ized at BFH, holds instruction-
al sessions twice a week under
the supervision of Sister Jose-
phine Elise.
The members are taught the
methods of teaching children of
different ages. Open to juniors
and seniors, members must
have two years of high school
religion to become Confrater-
nity teachers. About 35 stu-
dents seek qualification.
one of two playlets presented
March 16 at a career assembly
in the gym.
"Homemakers Find a Way"
told about a group of girls in-
terested in making homemak-
ing a career. After finishing
projects to enter in a scholar-
ship contest, the girls are in-
eligible since they have no a-
dulti sponsor. With a bit of in
genuity they finally persuade
one girl's aunt to become their
sponsor by proving how im-
portant homemaking is.
Two lazy high school boys in
"Hail! The Genie!" hate school
and homework. They find an
old lamp and rub on it. A ge
nie awakens from sleep to
leach them that math, English,
history and science are neces-
sary in all careers. The two
boys reform and tackle their
studies with more enthusiasm.
To Congressmen About Legislation
E. T. "Rip" Schaefer of
Houston, former resident of
Schulenburg, sent a carbon co-
py of the following letter to
your editor, Mrs. Florence Bosl.
The letter was also sent to Mr.
Dan Smoot and Dr. Wayne
Poucher, % Life Line, Wash-
ington, D.C.
The letter stated:
Dear Dr. Poucher:
1. "Tell the people to write
their Congressmen!" That is
the only way to get results. A
4c letter could save them $400
or $4,000.00. 95% of this talk-
ing and criticism among our
selves is wasted.
2. People have to find ways
to check up on politicians and
law wasters and keep them in
line like children when they
waver from the Constitution!
3. People need to find ways
of finding out quickly what
laws are being incubated; their
number, etc. and then tell the
Congressmen to stay honest.
4. People should steer the

CARD of THANKS
I would like to take this
means of expressing my appre-
ciation to Doctors Ihle, Mikesky
and DeRuiter and their staff,
Pastor Herman E. Baumann
for his visits and prayers, the
wonderful care of the Youens
nursing staff, the many friends
who sent thoughtful cards, gifts
and sent flowers, the neighbors
for their food and thoughtful-
ness and those who stayed and
visited me in the hospital and
at home, my mother who
helped me at home, our sons
who stayed with me at the hos-
pital and also my brother. It
meant so much while I was in
the Youens Hospital. May the
Lord bless each of you is my
prayer.
Mrs. Albert Bretting
Editor's note: The Navidad
Philosopher on his Johnson
grass farm on East Navidad
asks a question this week that's
hard to answer.
Dear editar:
A friend of mine who went
to grammar school with me and
now lives in
Houston came
by this John-
son grass
farm out here
the other day
and after
parking his/
car carefully
to avoid a stack of wire and
posts I've been meaning to
move since I left them there
three or four years ago, got to
kidding me about the farm sit-
uation.
"Well," he asked, after I'd
showed him which side of the
front step to step on without
getting hit with the other end,
"your government checks com-
ing through on time every
month? What's the support
price now on Johnson grass?
How much extra you getting
this year to retire some more
land? How you tell your re-
tired land from your cultivated
land? Just thought I'd stop by
and see where us city folks' tax
money is going."
I'm not much at talking, but
I had been reading a newspa-
per earlier in the day so I asked
him:
"By the way, how much is
Houston going to get out of
the Administration's urban re-
newal program?"
"How's that?" he asked.
"Don't you keep up with the
news?" 1 asked. "I see by the
paper today that there's a drive
on to save the cities. It's a fact,
We got marginal cities the
same as marginal farms. Looks
like cities have been planted
too thick, the same as crops.
Here, read this."
I showed him the paper,
which said President Kennedy
has sent Congress a $3,250,000,-
000 (that's three and a quarter
billion) bill to "save the cities,"
in the form of outright grants
plus loans to "reinforce the big
cities in their desperate strug-
gle against blight and decay."
Under the program, a city man
could get a 40-year mortgage
with no down payment to -build
a house, in order to "upgrade
decaying neighborhoods."
"What's the matter with you
city folks?" I asked. "Can't you
run your towns without help
from Washington?"
"I don't think you have a
true appreciation of what this
particular piece of legislation
is designed for," he said, or
words to that effect, adding
that he had to be going, it was
getting late, and he sure en-
joyed visiting with me.
I'm not saying the cites don't
r.eed this money. All I'm say-
ing is that if I'm supposed to
get a government check every
month, what happened to it?
Yours faithfully,
J. A.

cause people do not know 1/10

6. FREEDOM—Constitution
Loving Americans need some
kind of Central Computer Sys-
tem whereby they can quickly
write the politicians and tell on
them when they do not read
the Bills and do not stick to the
Constitution and the Bill of
Rights.
7. You would do much to
help me and Freedom Lovers
by finding some quick way of
warning us well ahead of rot-
ten pending Legislation, so we
could protest in a quick re-
sponse and make politicians
stick to the Constitution to the
letter.
Thank you very much.
Yours very truly,
E. T. (Rip) Schaefer
