Many Thanks
to all my Friends
> and Supporters
IN
Refugio County
Your wonderful support gave
me the lead in this county
over all opponents, greatly
helping me to go into the run-
off as the leading candidate
with a 73,000 vote lead. Your
continued backing June 2 will
be greatly appreciated.
In the runoff election, I shall
continue to conduct a clean
campaign, stressing my train-
ing, experience, record and
program, just as I did in the
primary. I do not believe in
mud-slinging, and 1 hope you,
too, will censure any effort to
inject this type of campaign-
ing into this race.

School Report
If you were among the few per-
sons who attended the annual pro-
gram of the P-TA Tuesday even-
ing. I am sure that you would not
have missed it for anything. If
you were not there, I assure you
that you missed a treat. The pro-
gram committee, with Mrs.
Blanche Scott as chairman, pre-
sented a well - organized pro-
gram consisting of a variety of
talents. Parents, teachers, and pu-
pils participated.
Principal it. A. Harrison of Go-
had installed the new officers. The
auditorium, was decorated by a
committee of which Mrs. Rosie
Senter served as chairman. Re-
freshments were served by a com-
mittee headed by Mrs. Eunice
Elliott. Each committee can boast
cf a job well done. The chairman
are grateful to all persons who
contributed to the success of the
program. Another chapter on the
activities of Barefield P-TA has
come to a close, and we look for-
ward to greater achievements in
the 1962 - 63 school year.
About a dozen parents showed
up at the school this morning to
accompany the first, second, and
third grade pupils on their com-
bined educational tour and picnic.
The classes visited the Municipal
Park and the zoo in Victoria. We
are grateful to those parents who
went along and helped the teach-
ers with the children.
This morning Airs. Dorothy Dav-
is, with her seventh grade langu-
age arts class went to the Junior
High School Library in connection
with the class’s study of the li-
brary card catalog and its uses
and other features of the library.
Mrs. Hounsel, the librarian, pro-
vided much helpful informa-
tion for the group.
The sixth graders have set their
party for Saturday evening, May
19. On that day pupils in grades
6, 7, and 8 will be in classes at
the school in order to mlake up one
of the days lost during the January
freeze.
Since May 25 will be another
make-up day for Barefield pupils,
it would be a good time to have
the next year’s first graders meet
their teacher. So we are inviting
all parents of pupils who will enter
Barefield next fall to accompany
their pupils to the school on the
afternoon of May 25.
MRS. MAURICE HUNSAKER
Thank You
My most sincere thanks are extended those who
voted for me, and supported my candidacy, as Justice
of the Peace, Precinct 2.
I pledge that I will' conduct the office with fairness
and equality.

Portland. — Miss Rita Gaugler,
302 Indiana, Corpus Christi was
united in holy matrimony with
Maurice Hunsaker, 5802 Ocean
Drive, Corpus Christi, on Satur-
day, May 12, at 6:30 p.m.
Parents of the couple are Mrs.
Evelyn Gaugler 2006 18th Street
and Mr. and Mrs. H. D. Hunsaker,
5802 Ocean Drive, both of Corpus
Christi.
The ceremony was preformed in
the St. Patrick’s Catholic Church
by Reverend Seamus J. McGow-
an. The bride was given in mar-
riage by Dr. Rex Thomas.
The bridal gown was long, white
silk linen, scalloped hem edged
with imported lace. A hood con-
nected with jacket of white silk
linen, also edged with imported
lace was worn over the bridal
gown. She carried a bouquet of
gardenias, roses and English ivy.
Donna Lynn Durant, 302 Indian,
room mate of the bi'ide, was her
maid of honor. She wore a pink
amel faille gown with scallop trim
at neckline and hem, and carried
a bouquet of roses in two shades
of pink.
The best man was Donnie Ray
Sefcik of Austin. Allan Fogle and
David Ward, both of Corpus Chris-
ti were ushers.
The church was decorated with
magnolias and white stock and two
candlelabras on each side of the
Altar. Organ music was played by
Sister Aloyisius.
A reception was held immediate-
ly following the wedding at the
home of the gloom’s parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Hunsaker, 5802 Ocean
Drive. The magnolia theme was
carried out throughout the Hunsak-
er home. A column in the living
room from floor to ceiling was
entwined with ivy and magnolias.
The bride’s table was skirted
with white organdy cloth and ean-
delalabras were on each side of
the cake. Low bowls of magnolias
were on each side of the punch-
bowl.
The wedding cake was four tierd

culture, there is so much anti-
Americanism in the world today.
Why do people in the Old Coun-
tries of Europe have an anti-Amer-
ican attitude, after all we have
done for them?
We believe the reason is a na-
tural one, both socially and histor-
ically. We are related to the Eur-
opeans through Uncle Sam and
they call us their “Cousins across
the Atlantic”. They do however,
assume the attitude of an older
brother towards us, the younger
brother,
In most family circles, the
younger brother becomes the
usurper of his older brother, and
gradually displaces him in the
family circle. The older brother
is full of experience and advice
and so the younger one should
give him respect and gratitude, or
so the older one thinks.
Alas; the young one is not re-
spectful nor grateful; he never
concedes that the older one knows
best, so he goes his own rebel-
lious way. Americans therefore,
are quite brash and hysterical in
the eyes of their wiser, more far-
sighted, more prudent and more
sober European brothers.
On the other hand, Americans
resent the mature, patertal atti-
tude of most Europeans. When we
see a picture of Kennedy and Mac-
millan, side by side, we feel that
Britain is so much older, less ener-
getic, so very tired yet possess-
ing a wealth of experience and
cunning. We feel we should be
cautious but have not yet learned
Technical Talks
By W. R (Doc) Hounsel!
We frequently wonder why, in had rocked the very foundations of
spite of our improving American | England’s honor and glory, and
had stopped the future conquests
of a mighty Empire.
These dangerous radicals who
called themselves Americans were
indeed nothing but ignorant rebels;
successful rebels at that, which is
ever so much worse than unsec-
cessful rebels, of course. They
didn’t even have a Parliament
with its Whigs and Tories. Oh
well; they would soon destroy
themselves, or else come begging
on hands and knees.
After leaving the Americans to
their own devices and hoping for
the worst, the Europeans sudden-
ly awoke to find that the United
States, by some freak of nature,
was now a going concern, to be
reckoned with in business and poli-
tics.
They wondered why their own
children were leaving their
homeland in droves — “going to
the United States”. No Sir; they
didn’t want to go to the more
civilized colonies of Australia or
Canada, but just to the freedom
of the U.S.A. “This is preposter-
ous; what is this younger genera-
tion coming to”
Then, believe it or not, the Unit-
ed States did form a government
that was neither “leftist” nor
“rightist”; neither monarchist nor
socialist. They called it a Demo-
cracy or something, a sort of half-
way measure, which seemed to be
working beautifully, and caused
them to be hated by both the Left
and Right, by red socialists and
blue - blood royalists. Yet their
impertinant flag was red, white
and blue, the rascals.
Without any help from “older
brother” America mjet all the
hardships possible to human exis-
tence, head on. She became suc-
cessful and prosperou under her
radical regime, and her revolu-
tionary culture of free enterprize
and capitalism. This was so world-
shaking that envy and hate were
amplified, especially in socialistic
countries who thought they had all
the answers.
These crazy United States did
not stop with merely owning most
of the world’s capital and gold. The
Suez incident clearly showed the

the decline and that the U.S.A.
predominated as a world - power.

where the “younger brother” kick-

the teeth, “the impetuous ne’er-do-

ists of New England had actually

HELP TEENAGERS BECOME MORE GROWN-UP
A phone “for their very own," in their room, gives them
a sense of privacy and responsibility. Allows more freedom
to express themselves and their ideas. Helps them with
school, church and club activities. But mostly, it gives them
the fun of talking with their special friends. Costs so little
most youngsters could pay for it with their own money!
Who needs extension phone service most?
Families that make or receive five or more calls a day.
Families with one or more members active in
school, church, civic or club work.
Families with active, popular teenagers
or young adults.
If any of these conditions fit
your family, the chances
are you need extension
phone service.

has grown up now and can look

Nothing succeeds like success if
you don’t mind giving up your bed
of roses for a crown of thorns,
nowadays, if anything goes wrong
in the cold war, whether in Berlin,
Cuba, Laos, or in nuclear testing
oi in anything else Americans get
all the blame even when Russia
is responsible. So the Neutrals
think Russia and America are
equally bad and rotten.
Over half the people in this
crazy world are communistic in
their belief, and we Americans,
instead of trying to understand
them make things worse by using
our usual bold, fearless tactics.
There is this Joe McCarthy fellow,
this General Walker, this John
Birch, etc., all declaring that
“communism, has got to be exter-
minated — physically wiped off
the face of the earth”. Is this our
cultural idea of preventing anti-
Americanism?
But don’t let us despair; we still
have one saving grace; a new but
powerful force called “Americani-
zation”. We are undermining the
traditional virtues and puritan mo-
rals of the rest of the world. Amer-
ican rock - ’n’ - roll and “the
Twist” are now circling the globe
and exciting the youth on all con-
tinents, on both sides of the “cur-
tains”.
The great American entertain-
ment - industry has been ingen-
ious and successful in invent-
ing adolescent tastes for leis-
ure amusements. Young people
everywhere are kicking up their
heels and beginning to live for a
change.
From Tokyo to Moscow the
American fashions of youth have
spread, in their clothes, dances,
soft - drinks, gum - chewing and
music. American culture too is
now starting to spread in art,
architecture, science, engineering
and literature.
We could go on and on, but we
have itemized some of the reasons
for anti - Americanism. Now let
us pray and sincerely hope that
Americanization on a high cultural
level, is able to stamp it out.
