MRS. LYDIA NEWTON
PASSES AWAY THURSDAY
Mrs. Lydia Newton, age 81
years passed away Thursday}
Dec. 11, at her home in San
Antonio. Services were held
Friday afternoon with Rev.
Everett Jones officiating.
Mrs. Newton was a native of
Germany but had lived in Texas
practically all her life. She had
lived at Waring and Boerne a
long time moving, to San An-*
tonio a few years ago.
She was a fine splendid
Christian lady, an excellent
mother and a true friend, cheer
ful and contented with her lot
in life. She spent her entire
years in making a pleasant
place to live for those she loved.
Her loving care will be missed
by her loved ones.
Survivors are her husband,
Frank A. Newton, Sr.; daugh-
ters, Esther Davenport, Mrs.
Adolph G. Dietert, both of San
Antonio, Miss Ruth M. Newton
of Springfield, Mass; sons,
. Clinton C. Newton of Boerne,
; Frank A. Newton, Jr. of Mon-
|terey, Calif; brothers, Harry
; Bull of San Antonio and Fran-
cis Bull of Linsey, Oalif. and a
number of grandchildren,
i She was laid to rest in the
Boerne cemetery.
The Star joins the many
friends in extending sincere
sympathy to the bereaved
family.
GARDEN CHATTER
Hedge Material
The list of available hedge
material of low, medium and
high sizes suitable to various
climatic zones of the country is
quite large, but at least the fol-
lowing can be recommended.
For evergreen hedges: Korean
boxwood, Which can be set low
or allowed to grow to 3’-4’;
Carolina or Canadian hemlock,
both fast growers and both
capable of being kept down to
5’ or grown to 20’ high; the
fast-growing Japanese yew with
its green foliage and, where
Summers are not too hot and
dry, the globe orborvitae will
serve excellently for a low
hedge. The privet to use in. cold
regions is the hardy Amur type
Ligustrum amurense. For a 4’
hedge try dwarf burning bush,
Euonymus alatus compactus,
with its corky twigged branches
and brilliant Autumn foliage. It
requires practically no pruning.
For a thorny hedge try true-
hedge columnberry, a Japanese
barberry which grows upright
and informally and needs very
little from the shears. The cock
spur thorn will make a good
; medium or high hedge. The five
j leafed aralia, Acanhopanix
pentaphyllum, is a dense thorn
that can stand shade and city
conditions as well.
Others that tolerate shade
are Japanese barberry, gray
dogwood, Amur, California or
European privets, common
buckthorn, the yews, inkberry,
the hollies, arborvitaes and
the viburnums.

DEFENSE RELEASES
The necessity for “blacking-
out” the country , side as a pre-
cautionary measure must be ap
parent to all. Maps of the
United States, such maps so de
tailed as to show the location
of every farm house, have long
been available to our citizens,
and so we must confess are in
the hands of our enemies.
An enemy pilot, flying over
this area, has definite orders as
to what his objective is—he
has studied his map before
starting on his mission—he has
memorized the location of the
salient points, which will act
as guides to his target. He is
not going to unload his bombs
over any isolated farm group,
he is not going to bomb the
small hamlets or cities, unless
he should mistake them for his
target, or unless he drops a few
just as a reminder to the citi-
zens that he is overhead. BUT
your lights, if he can spot them
will act as directing fingers to-
ward his objective.
The same points must be re-
membered in regard to the
roads and highways. Cars wild-
ly racing up the roads with
-their lights streaming, mark
the connecting links, between
blacked-out areas, and any avi-
ator will know at once that the
blacked-out areas contain his
target, and will be very thank-
ful to the driver who has mark-
ed his path on the road be-
neath.
We must remember that the
Army Posts, the Ammunition
Depots, the Flying Fields a-
round San Antonio, are definite
and important objectives, long
ago marked for destruction, by
those with whom we are at
War. We must remember that
any disruption of service at
these vital points, may cost the
life of an American Boy, due to
lack of ammunition or support
which that boy may have had.
We must remember that every
man and woman in Kendall
County has a son or a relative
or a neighbor's boy in whom
they are interested, in the
Armed Service of the United
States—AND THAT THEY
WOULD WEEP SHOULD
THAT BOY’S NAME APPEAR
IN THE CASUALTY LISTSi
How much more poignant
would the regret be, if WE
thru our negligence have con-
tributed to this boy’s loss.
We know that our people
have not FULLY realized the
strategic importance of Kendall
County, as a factor in the de-
fense of Camp Stanley and the
Army Posts further on; but.
with this analysis in mind, we
are confident that they will
take no chances, allow no action
which might contribute to the
terrible things which could
happen.
When we take precautions to
defend our own homes, we are
also contributing to the defense
of San Antonio and its military
garrisons and services, and by
so doing have completed the
cycle, since those services are
serving our own boys, and so
we are serving our own.
By order of Judge Lehmann.
