Opportunity Knocks For Hondo
Hondo has a wonderful opportunity
right now, with more than a hundred
families who are interested in the possi-
bility of settling down in our area.
It all started a few weeks ago when
J. Frank Jungman, former Hondoan now
of Houston, wrote a story for the Journal
•f Living, a magazine aimed at people
who are retired or are thinking about it.
He told about Hondo’s wonderful climate,
and the fact that there are many nice
houses for rent or sale since the closing
of the air base. He suggested that any-
one who was interested should write
Hugh Meyer, and they did—by the score.
Hugh turned over many of the letters to
Ernest Dodds, who has answered about
twenty of them, and the rest were given
to the Chamber of Commerce.
Dodds has told them not to expect a
dazzling resort atmosphere, and not to
expect to fincf jobs easy to locate, but
has pointed out that it is a nice place to
live, close to a metropolitan area, and
filled with friendly people.
The Anvil Herald has sent compli-
mentary copies of the paper to many of
them, and they will all get an answer,
we believe, when the Chamber of Com-
merce office settles down from its an-
nual banquet rush, the races, and a flood
of other activity recently.
If there are any volunteers who would
like to write a few friendly letters to
these homeseekers, we feel sure the
Chamber of Commerce office would ap-
preciate your help. Drop by and find out.
If we can get fifty families to move
here, they will take up much of the slack
in our housing situation, and will improve
our business. Most of them have retire-
ment income of one sort or another, and
that is what we need to encourage—addi-
tional funds brought in to the area’s
economy.
Congratulations to Gridsmen
Football is still in the news, as we
wind up the season with banquets for
the teams around Medina County. This
Saturday the Hondo Owls sit down for
the traditional feed, and Castroville en-
tertains their teams soon.
It is a wonderful tradition, and shows
the players that the community appre-
ciates their fighting team spirit. No
matter what the score, win, lose or draw,
these young men never gave less than
their very best, and that is why friends
like to gather around and honor them
with a big affair.
Congratulations, men. It was a hard
fought season, and your friends know
you did your best. That’s all anyone can
ask.
How Sad, But Also How True
The following editorial is reprinted
from The Beacon, Lambertville, New
Jersey:
“Charles H. Brower, president of one
of the large advertising firms spoke re-
cently of a trend -that is causing many
people to wonder whether we have lost
the great driving force that gave us all
the benefits we enjoy today.
“Brower said, ‘This is the era of the
goof-off; the age of the half-done job.
The land from coast-to-coast has been en-
joying a stampede away from responsi-
bility. It is populated by waiters who
won’t serve, carpenters who come around,
some day... maybe, executives whose
minds are on the golf course, students
who take cinch courses, and salesmen
who won’t sell.’
“These are pretty strong words, but
in too many cases they are true.
“Too many people look upon their
work as a means to an end... a pay
check. How much they lose in not learn-
ing how to work, how to develop pride
in a job well done. Mr. Brower calls
it... ‘the thrill of achievement.’

Just about the most dressed up
doll In Hondo these days is the
one standing in the window of
The Mill. To be given away this
weekend by the Epsilon Sigma
Alpha sorority, this stunning crea-
ture could boast of sports clothes,
every-day dresses, evening wear,
even a bridal gown—and what’s
more she has accessories with
each outfit.
This Is an annual money-
making event for the local soror-
ity and they use their income for
many local charity projects.
Membership of the club dwindled
when the air field closed shop and

HUGH CAMERON, son of MHS.
EMMETT CAMERON, has been
making calls around Hondo and
many other area cities as a sales-
man for a San Antonio paper
company for years, but recently
he has changed positions.
He is now employed as an esti-
mator for a printing plant in
Alamo town. That being a desk
job, he’ll probably not be seeing
quite as much of his mother and
sisters here in Hondo.

Two more Hondo families are
de stined to move soon. The LEO
KILMER family has scheduled a
move to Abilene where LEO will
begip work Monday for Abilene
Aviation. He will be in charge of
maintenance.
Here In Hondo
M&M Marcellus Garrison,
M&M Elmer Joe Leinweber Jr.,
and M&M Jim Jordan were in
Dallas this week for the annual
Texas Sheep and Goat Raisers
convention. Garrison and Lein-
weber are directors of the or-
ganization.
His wife, SADIE, says they will
possibly leave Hondo on January
1 or may wait until school mid-
term depending on when a new
house being built for them is com-
pleted. They regret leaving their
many friends in Hondo, but she
added that they were not moving
into the town completely “cold”
for they know a number of peo-
ple there. She added that Abilene
seems very friendly and progres-
sive and has an excellent educa-
tional system.
Asked about whether or not
their children, GARY, RICKY,
ANN and DAVY were looking for-
ward to the move, she commented
that she thought they were getting
used to the idea. Since football
season is over, GARY has con-
sented to move.
Planning to move at approxi-
mately school midterm time is

ily.
WALTER has been commuting

port, his former stomping

On Monday Nov. 24, the Me-
dina County Home Deconstration
Club Women held their annual
Achievement Day in the old Sher-
iffs office in Hondo. Each of the
nine clubs had their exhibits dis-
played on card tables. Many
things such as canned food, hand
work, garments made, and hob-
bies were shown. Mrs. Haby, with
Central Power and Light Co. from
Uvalde, had several different dis-
plays for Christmas decorating,
using various ways of lighting.
Coffee and cookies were served
to the public from 10:00 a.m. to
3:00 p.m. Many people came by,
and we say “Thanks” to those
who did.
At 2:30 p.m. the county coun-
cil members met for a short coun-
cil meeting in the courtroom.
Mrs. W. C. Whitehead, T.H.D.A.
chairman asked for subscriptions
to the Messenger. They should be
turned in to her soon.
The State Convention for 1959
will be at Galveston, Sept. 15, 16
and 17.
The Christmas Council lunch-
eon will be Dec. 8, at the Armory
building at Hondo. Mrs. Etter
reported 67 had paid for their
lunch tickets.
Mrs. Oscar Etter gave an in-
teresting reading, “The Spirit of
Thanksgiving.”
The meeting adjourned, and
each council committee met and
worked on the 1959 recommenda-
tions.
grounds, for several weeks in his
new position as general manager
for Alamo Aviation. He said Fri-
day that his entire family regret-
ted the move—that his wife,
EDNA LEE, and all three daugh-
ters, MARTHA SUE, MANDY
and BETH could hardly bare the
thought of it.
Elaborating further, he said
that Hondo was an ideal sized
town in which to rear children
and that they liked the schools
and churches here.
We wish it could be possible for
both these fine families to stay
here, but sincerely hope they’ll
like their new homes. When Hon-
doans like Hondo, we especially
dislike having them leave.

ECKHART, daughter of MRS.
HARLEY ECKHART, and SARA
MOORE, daughter of the CON-
LEY MOORES, have pledged Al-
pha Delta Chi Sorority at South-
west Texas State College, San
Marcos. Both are freshmen on
the campus.
MRS. JACK H. STAPPER of
Pleasanton is working in the Unit-
ed Gas office here in Hondo this
week until GEORGENE DECK-
ERT, who has been employed for
the job, can take over.
MRS. ELMER BADER has re-
tired from the receptionist-nurse
position at the office of DR. R. W.
LANDERS. After spending more
than a decade there, she has al-
most become a fixture, but says
she is going to spend more time
enjoying her many grandchildren.
Last month she acquired two new
ones.
ERNEST DODDS was showing
us some unusual fossils the other
day. He is a member of the
Texas Archeological Society, or a
“rockhound” to most of us, and
likes to look for ancient relics.
In a caliche pit north of Hondo,
he gathered a whole box full of
fossilized snails, sea sponges, sea
urchins, and clams. It is easy to
see the original outline of the
shellfish, and proves that this
area was once the bottom of the
sea.
He says that this is where the
Anacacho lime structure comes
near the surface, and all these
are known as pilot fossils, which
identify the strata in question.
He also found a number of In-
dian arrowheads.

AUSTIN, Tex. —Foreshadowing
many hours of debate In the next
Legislative session is the steady
build-up of proposals and counter-
proposals for improving public
schools.
Texas State Teachers Associa-
tion has voted to push a 19-point
legislative program. TSTA will
go along on most of the Hale-
Aikin Study Committee’s recom-
mendations, though its own pro-
gram omits a few H-A proposals
and is lukewarm on others.
Most notable difference is teat
TSTA calls for larger teacher sal-
ary raises. Present minimum
starting salary is $3,204. Hale-
A i k i n Committee recommends
hiking this to $3,800. TSTA is ask-
ing for $4,000 for bachelor’s de-
gree holders, $4,200 for those with
a master’s degree.
TSTA’s salary increase would
cost some $10,000,000 to
$15,000,000 a year more than the
Hale-Aikin plan. Overall, enact-
ment of the Hale-Aikin school
improvement plan would cost the
state an estimated $110,000,000 a
year more than is now being
spent.
Other planks in the teachers’
legislative platform are specific
changes to expand or enrich
school programs — driver edu-
cation, special programs for gift-
ed children, more funds for small
schools, etc. TSTA approved the
Hale-Aikin proposal for lengthen-
ing the school year, but indicated
it would not go all-out for it
Because they call for new
spending at a time when the
state already is in the red, no
one expects smooth sailing for
the school proposals. Governor
Daniel warned teachers that he
could not forsee available money
for all the program. Many legis-
lators are haunted on the one
hand by the need to dig up new
money just to keep- the state in
business and on the other hy cam-
paign promises not to vote for
certain kinds of new taxes.
They’re inclined to view new
spending plans like smallpox
germs.
On the other hand, advocates
of school improvement constitute
a large and very active group.
And all such efforts gained tre-
mendous new leverage when
Sputnik I whizzed into orbit.
FOR BUSINESS SEEKING *-
Texas Industrial Commission is
asking the Legislature for a
$100,000 - a - year appropriation
to be used in attracting new busi-
nesses to Texas.
Commission voted not to go in-
to tourist promotion unless asked
to by lawmakers.
Proposed budget allocates
$16,500 annually for an executive
director’s salary and $75,000 a
year for advertising in national
publications. All this activity will
be brand new to Texas, made
possible Nov. 4 when voters re-
moved an 82-year-old constitut-
ional ban against spending state
money for advertising.
Commission also announced
that it is opposed to any plan of
exemption as a sort of “prize”
to new industries.
BACK TO WORK — For the first
time in 1958. Texas non-f arm
employment broke the three-mil-
lion mark in October.
Christmas rush and other gains
may bring the number of work-
ers to a new record high in Dec-
ember, according to the Texas
Employment Commission.
Settlement of 13 labor-manage-
ment disputes involving 9,749
workers contributed to the Oct-
ober employment peak of
3,001,400.
December’s bright hopes are
based on expectation of the usual
retail job increases, more em-
ployment in cotton processing due
to a high per-acre yield, plus
gains in manufacturing, transpor-
tation and school employment.
OLD AGE ROLLS SHORTER —
N u m b e r of Texans receiving
old age assistance payments drop-
ped during the past year, but
Texas still has a greater per-
centage of its population on state
old age pensions than most other
states.
State Welfare Department’s
report to the governor notes that
an incease in the number of el-
derly persons receiving Federal
Social Security payments is ap-
parently causing the shrinkage in
the state welfare rolls.
Despite this trend, Texas has
33.6 per cent of its 65-and-over
population on the state pension
rolls compared to a national av-
erage of 16.2 per cent. Texas'
average payments are lower —
$47.08 per month compared to the
national average of $61.39.
During the past fiscal year the
State Welfare Department paid
out $125,353,296 for old age pen-
sions. Of this, 30 per cent was
state funds, the rest federal.
SHORT SNORTS — Jake Jacob-
sen, Governor Daniel’s top assist-
ant, will leave this job Jan. 1 to
enter private law practice in Aus-
tin. Jacobsen has been a close as-
sociate'of the governor since the
days when Daniel was attorney
general . . . Texas Employment
Commission Chairman S. Perry
Brown has been reappointed by
the governor for a new six-year
term despite prqtests from labor
groups . . . U. S. Dept, of Agri-
culture is recommending a 12 per
cent cut in 1959 acreage allot-
ments for spring potatoes in Te5g-
as. This would be 7,875 acres for
next year compared to 9,000 in
1958 . . . Texas Heritage Foun-
dation President Paul Wakefield
has petitioned President Eisen-
hower for a full pardon for one
of Texas’ most famous sons, the
late William Sydney Porter, bet-
ter known as short story writer
O. Henry. Porter was convicted
in federal court Of embezzlement
and served a prison term, but
Wakefield declared there is
“abundant proof of his inno-
cence.” . . . Wayland C. Riven
Jr. has resigned as an assistant'
to Attorney General Will Wilson
and entered private practice in
Austin . . . Texas draft quota for
January will be 359 men, the
lowest monthly call since Decem-
ber, 1957. It is to be filled with
men who are 22 years or more
by Jan. 1, except for volunteers
and delinquents who may be
younger . . . Department of Pub-
lic Safety has begun the training
of 70 new recruits at its Law
Enforcement Academy. Grad-
uates will be assigned to the High-
way Patrol, Drivers Licence Pat-
rol and Weight Patrol, all of
which are undermanned.

SECO PHILOSOPHER ISN’T WORRIED ABOUT POPULATION
Increase and How To Feed It
The Seco Philosopher on his
johnson grass farm reviews the
world population situation this
week. We can’t tell what his con-
clusions are.
Dear editar:
Most towns in the United States
naturally would like to get bigger.
I don’t have enough money to
take care of the area they’ve al-
ready got, in fact, there aren’t
over fifteen or twenty people in
the world and no cities and towns
at all that have all the money
they want to spend, but it’s the
truth, growth is what most cities
are after.
Well, it looks like they’re going
to get it. I was reading last night
in a magazine that the world’s
population is increasing by 47
million people a year. The world’s
population is now two and two-
thirds billion, and at the rate it’s
increasing will be twice that in
50 years.
Clearly, if practically any town
it cits-hang on for 50 years, it’s
n boumMo grow, they’ve got to put
all these people somewhere and
there’s no room for them out here
on my farm. It looks like about
all a chamber of commerce or
civic booster club has to do to
succeed is to hang on for a while
longer.
However, what interested me
about these figures was an an-
swer an expert gave on whether
there’d be enough food to feed
all these people.
Here In Hondo
Dr, O. B. Taylor is back home
after a long siege of illness in
Brooke Army Hospital, San An-
tonio. He has a return trip sche-
duled in a few days, but expects
to be back home to stay shortly
after that time. He is able to be
up and around at home.
Jerry and Jimmy Neuman
wrote last week that they were
due to arrive in Hondo this past
weekend for a furlough after com-
pleting six months of basic train-
ing in the army at Fort Jackson,
S. C.
He said not to worry, then villi
be, the farmers of the world «0l|
do it, and the reason they rill
he said, is “that if you ofel
enough money for the food, Ail
food will be produced.”
Now I don’t know what sort all
farmers this expert is acquaialedl
with, but we don’t know the samel
group. The group I know, sincel
I’m one of them, works in jastl
the opposite fashion. We don’t uy,|
if you’ll pay us enough, we’ll pro-1
duce this food for you. What we I
say is, here’s all this food, howl
much can you let us have for it? I
And I guess it’s as good a syi-l
tern as any. It saves a lot ril
responsibility. When I start i|
farming year, I don’t know wintl
I’m going to get for my wort,|
but on the other hand the too-1
sumers don’t know what la I
going to produce to eat. This way!
nobody’s responsible for any-1
thing. It’s sort of like marriage. I

GREETINGS:
& SALLY-TATIONS
Steven Paul Riff, all eight
pounds ten ounces of him arrived
Wednesday, December 3, 1958
with an utter disregard for his
grandmother’s deadline on col-
umn copy. After checking him
over to be sure he had the re-
quired number of toes, sug-
gested to his mother that he was
just about the right size to play
tackle on the Owl line up. Steven
was, and still is, sadly in need
of a haircut and I was all for
taking him down to the barber
for a flat-top haircut but his
mother and dad didn’t seem to
cotton to the idea. Steven's bro-
thers, Bob and John, and little
sister, Susan, are much enthused
over his arrival. I think the main
reason for their exuberance is
they were told that after the baby
arrived Christmas Day was not
too far away.

The Wesleyan Guild December
party is always the spark that
puts all of us in a Christmas
mood. This year the Guild had
secret sisters. Names were drawn
at the beginning of the year and
special days were remembered
by your secret sister. At the gift
giving part of the program, I was
handed a large box, very heavy,
from “Three Who Care” and I
was about to weep with the idea
of their generosity — but after
I opened the gift was the time
for tears, believe me. I re-
ceived the loveliest set of large
rocks complete with cloying bits
of sand and dirt, and a tiny per-
fumed brush with instructions.
It is just as well these three re-
main secret because I could,
without a twinge of conscience,
put tho|jB rocks to very good
use. w

After everyone went home and
I was putting dishes away at
about ll:3o p.m., suddenly rem-
embered that I had forgotten to
light the candles on the table and
had also forgotten to serve the
fruit cake. Was tempted to call
several of my so-called “sisters”
at that hour for the candle light-
ing and to have the fruitcake
and coffee. I’m just too soft-heart-

The Business and Professional
Womens Club had their annual
Christmas dinner Monday evening
and it was a happy time. Felt
honored that Kathryn Vincent
asked me to give the invocation
and glad she gave me enough
time to think a bit about what to
say. Once upon a time I was
asked to return tmanks at
breakfast in the home of some
very dear friends. I wound up
with “God bless the head of this
house and our companionship to-
gether.” That was one time piety
flew out the window!

When I went to work at the
B & P W Club booth at the air
base Saturday during the sports
car races, I just knew I was going
to be bored stiff. I was frozen
stiff but far from bored. I be-
came a very interested sports car
fan as I watched those cars whiz
around the track. Kept trying to
convince everyone that I ought
to be out on the track in my
old Plymouth station wagon.
Felt I came under the right cate-
gory because nobody would be
seen driving my old bucket of
bolts except a sport. Receiving no
encouragement whatever, I re-
mained a spectator.
