County. This information is
needed at once in order that
farmers may participate in the
new Emergency Feed Grain
Program which Congress is act-
ing upon now.
A producer will be eligible, at
his option, to divert at least 20
per cent of his average feed
grain acreage into a soil-con-
serving use, that would mean
that you would reduce your
corn and grain sorghum plant-
ings in 1961 and would be paid
in kind by being issued certifi-
cates which you could redeem
in grain or in cash. Participa-
tion in the feed grain program
will be on a voluntary basis,
however, producers who do not
participate will not be eligible
for price support on these com-
modities. The payment rate for
each commodity will be an-
nounced as they are received
in the ASC office, as well as
other information, since the en-
tire program and rates are sub-
ject to change.
The acreage report on all
farms in the county will be
needed, but this will not obli-
gate the farmer to take part
in the program. All cropland
on the farm must be accounted
for. Each farmer must report
his farm number and the num-
ber of acres for 1969 and 1960
for the following crops: Corn,
grain sorghum, grain sorghum
for hay, Johnson grass for hay,
sudan, other crops and idle
acres.
To make it more convenient
for everyone, an informed per-
sonnel will be in the following
communities on the days indi-
cated to assist you in making
the report for your farm. If
you are not able to attend the
meeting in your community,
bring the report to the ASC of-
fice on any day other than the
one shown below for your com-
munity.
The dates are: Schulenburg,
City Hall, March 14 and 15;
Swiss Alp, Farm Bureau Home,
March 10; Ammannsville, KJT
Hall, March 13; Cistern, Jan-
ecka Store, March 10 and 13;

SHS Fine Arts Night March 11
Offers Variety of Entertainment
Although the Fine Arts Night
program at Schulenburg High
School this Saturday night is
designed primarily for enter-
tainment, the two one-act com-

give the audience a brief course
in the history of the theatre.
A few additions have been
made to the program as an-
nounced in last week's Sticker.
The musical program, featur-
ing Band Director Claude Mar
ty's Shorthorn Dance Band,
will play "Wonderland by
Night," "The Breeze and I,"
"Basin Street Blues," a waltz
medley, "Jump far Joe," "Eas-

rik and Gary Wagner in the
acting roles.
The Dramatics Club will pre-
sent two one-act plays, "The
Frogs" and "Pullman Car Hi-
awatha," famous plays in the
history of the theatre.
More than 500 years before
Christ was horn, there was no
drama as we know it today.
The nearest thing to a stage
play were the religious festi-
vals in honor of Dionysus, or
Bacchus, the god of wine and
revelry.
fflhese festivals consisted
mainly of singing and dancing

Frank Cunda, 84-year-old re-
sident of the St. John commu-
nity, burned to death in a tra-
gic accident on the family farm
Tuesday afternoon, February
28. Mr. Cunda apparently lost
his life w.hen he was overcome
by flames as he fought a fire
among several haystacks.
The tragedy was not discov-
ered until Wednesday morning
when a daughter, Mrs. Wm.
Beiersdorfer of Schulenburg,
traveled to the Cunda farm to
take her parents to a doctor.
Mrs. Cunda told her daughter
that Mr. Cunda didn't come
home last night and since she
had been suffering with an in-
by a chorus. In 534 B.C. The-
spis added a speaker who con-
versed with the chorus, and this
is considered the beginning of
modern drama. Actors today
are called Thespians in honor
of Thespis.
In the fifth century B. C.,
drama reached a high point
which has never been surpass-
ed. Three famous Grecians, in-
cluding Euripides, wrote tra-
gedy; and one, Aristophanes,
wrote comedy.
These plays continued to use
the chorus from the old Diony-
sian festivals, but two or more
actors were added to carry the
story along.
"The Frogs" was written by
Aristophanes during this peri-
od. It makes fun of Bacchus.
In making fun of Bacchus,
one of t'nc gods of the Greek
religion, Aristophanes was tak-
ing a chance on offending a
large group of the people. But
even at this time, 500 years be-
fore Christ, the Greek pagan
religion—in which there was a
god [for every activity and ev-
ery emotion — was already
weakening. And Aristophanes
was one of a large number of
educated Athenians who didn't
believe there could be so many
gods.
It was also Aristophanes'
style of pluywrighting to make
fun of many other human
traits. "The Frogs" made fun of
the kind of plays and poetry
which were being written at the
time. Euripides and the other
great writers of tragedy had
died, and Aristophanes felt that
there was no one left who
could write a play worth see-
ing.
So in "The Frogs," he has
Bacchus, pictured as a very
comical god, make a trip to
Hades, the abode of all the
dead (gO|od and bad) to find
Euripides and bring him back
to earth to write more plays.
The Schulenburg version of
this play has been modernized
to the extent that it pokes fun
at modern television programs
and rock-and-roll music. This is
intended to give the audience
sojne of the flavor of the origi-
nal play as audiences saw it
during Aristophanes' lifetime.
The cast includes seven mem-
bers of last year's state cham-
pion one-act plav cast—Jack
LaBrose, Clinton Boriack, Bor-
nie Loiter, Janice McFai'lin,
Jeanette Zemlicka, Susie Her
zik and Billy Speckels. The
other three cast members are
Michael Wagner, Geri Moser,
and Patricia Cox.
In contrast with "The Frogs"! Mrs. H. F. Klein

Very Successful
Dav of Recollection
Held at High Hill
A Day of Recollection was
held at St. Mary's Church in
High Hill Sunday, February 26
from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. for the
ladies of the Weimar Deanery
under the sponsorship of the
Weimar Deanery Council of
Catholic Women.
Rev. Ephrim Brummer, O. F.
M. of St. Joseph's Church, San
Antonio, preached and held con-
ferences. After the coffee break
there was a Holy Hour and the

women attended and Rev. Alex
Kraus of Columbus, deanery
moderator, and Rev. Benton
Thurmond, pastor of High Hill,
were also in attendance.
from Aristophanes, the two
writers have quite a bit in com-
mon. Both use very little scen-
ery and props; both use a sim-
ple style of writing. Both like
to poke fun at human traits
and habits. Wilder, however,
does this in a more gentle way
than Aristophanes. So in "Pull-
man Car Hiawatha," the audi-
ence sees the inner thoughts
and feelings of a number of
everyday American^ taking a
trip in a pullman car.
The curtain will rise prompt-
ly at 8 p.m.
Funeral services for Mrs.
Hugo F. Klein of Houston will

Communism in America was
the subject of a film seen Tues-
day, March 7, by students in
Schulenburg High School.
Mr. C. F. Hewlett, represen-
tative of the Guadalupe Chap-
ter of the Daughters of the
American Revolution, gave an
introductory speech about the
film. He reminded the students
that freedom is everybody's
business.
"Operation Abolition" was
a Communist plan to destroy
the Congressional Committee on
Un-American Activities.
In May, 1960, when the
Committee on Un-American Ac-
tivities met in San Francisco,
thousands of American stu-
dents rioted claiming that the
Committee was anti-American
and unconstitutional. The film
showed how a few "hard core"
Communists can cause a riot
such as this—what can happen
when » few well trained people
gain control of the emotions of
a mob. It showed scenes inside
the courthouse in which the stu-
dents had become bo noisy that
they could not continue the
hearings, when asked to leave
by the polico they refused and
finally were driven from the
courthouse by the use of fire
hoses and man power. It show-
ed the students resisting the
attempt of the police to re-
move them, which resulted in
about 4 students receiving slight
injuries and 8 policemen being
hospitalized.
The film attempted to make
the students aware of the
threat of Communism—that it
is something we must constant-
ly be on guard against—Our
American way of life is precious
to each of us and we must con-
stantly be watching to see that
no one takes any of our liber-
ties from us.
