Aransas County's
Courthouse Fence
Ten Deer for Tender Dinner
The wrought iron fence, that
for more than half a century,
gave protection to the lawn of
Aransas county’s courthouse at
Rockport, against intruders, has
been scrapped.
By order of the commission-
er’s court, the fence has been re-
moved, and the material of the
ancient enclosure has lost its
identity among the miscellaneous
collection of scrap that will enter
into the nation’s vital defense
program.
The fence was erected 52 years
ago, according to county records
found in the archives of the
courthouse, and cost $1,584. La-
ter, a brick foundation was laid
beneath, at an additional cost of
$1200. Through the intervening
years, coats of paint were applied
when local pride became potent
enough to demand the expendi-
ture of the necessary funds.
First, the hitching rack, the
old fashioned watering trough,
the adoption of local stock laws,
and the advent of the automo-
bile have eliminated many of the
requirements of an earlier day.

Stockport Citizen
Has 93 Birthday
- -Buy Bonds-
One of the oldest citizens of
Aransas county, John A. Klaeser,
celebrated his 93rd birthday an-
niversary at Rockport, Thursday
of last week. The celebration
was held at the home of his son
and daughter, John Klaeser, and
Miss Veronica Klaeser.
Klaerser was bom in Trieves,
Germany, and came to America
at the beginning of the Franco-
Prussian war, because he was
not in sympathy with the mili-
tary spirit of Bismarck and oth-
ers in his native land.
He landed on American soil at
New Orleans, where he spent a
number of years, but the past 65
years of his eventful life have
been spent in Rockport and vi-
cinity.

Texas has millions of school
children, businessmen, industrial
laborers, farmers, clerks and pro-
fessional people who have be-
come University of Texas stud-
ents without ever seeing the forty
acres. During the thirty-two
years of its existence, the divis-
ion of extension has touched, in
one way or another, almost every
phase of life in Texas.
HERE’S THE WAY TO
MAKE THE MOST OF
poim
RRTIOniDG
Point rationing is on the way, bringing
with it a major problem to every housewife in
America! The problem is this: How shall I keep
the family well fed and healthy on limited food
rations?
Here’s a solution to your problem: Sup-
pose you want to have a roast for dinner
tomorrow. In preparing it, you will want to
reduce shrinkage as much as possible and save
nutritious values by low temperature oven
roasting. Cook beef roast 27-30 minutes per
pound at 300° F.; fresh pork 35-40 minutes
per pound at 350° F.; v’eal 25 minutes per
pound at 300° F.; lamb 35-45 minutes per
pound at 300° F.
Test this principle for yourself—try the
recipe given below—you will be delighted with
the results!
Stop in at the office and let us give you
free Home Volunteer booklets on wartime cook-
ing, meal-planning and conservation. They will
help you to “get along” with Point Rationing.
There is no obligation.

to- Raadl Meat
Place the roast in a pan with the fat side
up, eliminating basting. Salt penetrates only
a little way, so you may salt the meat either
before or after cooking. Although a roast
should never be covered, it may be floured, but
no water should be added. These rules apply to
beef, veal, pork, and lamb. FOR PROPER
OVEN TEMPERATURE AND COOKING

Letters From
Men in the Service
A letter received by Rev. E.
Y. Seale, from his son who is in
the Marines and stationed at
San Diego, follows:
Dear Dad:
Well I finally got my gold
Marine ring, it’s beautiful and is
solid gold and will last forever.
I have always wanted a good ring
and now I’ve got it. It’s hand
engraved.
I’m still brig turnkey, and my
duties are still the same.
It wont be long before I’ll be
20 years old. Sure doesn’t seem
like it: The only thing I’ve ac-
complished in that 20 years is
graduating from school and com-
ing into the Marines.
I’m fourth in line for corporal,
but a rating is very hard to make
in the G. Co. I am getting The
Progress O. K.

The following letter from a
well known Aransas Pass man,
appeared in a recent issue of the
'Corpus Christi Caller, which we
are glad to reproduce for our
readers:
Last summer I wrote you ask-
ing for your help to see that our
Merchant Marine got more recog-
nition. They were taking a shel-
lacking from those subs and tak-
ing it like the great men they
are, and now thanks to you and
other commentators they are get-
ting the recognition, so keep go-
ing. Their’s a great force.
I tried to join the Navy, hop-
ing I could get some revenge for
the lives of some of my best
friends but failed to pass. (I was
in a car wreck one time,) so here
I am in the Army and liking it
fine. Until you get in, no one
realizes what a soldier goes thru.
Lots of these fellow’s are good
actors pretending to be tough and
boastful. Just switch the light
back on after lights out and check
the 80 bunks, and nine out of ten,
most of the time will have big
tears on their cheeks; not tears of
fear, far from that, because we
have no fear for ourselves, its our
loved ones at home, hoping they
are well and not crying for us,
because we intend to do our job
and do it hard. We are just anx-
ious to get on over to help our
buddies over there finish those
tyrants off.
I know there are hundreds of
cases like the one we just had—
a nice looking young fellow be-
came a father of a baby girl on
Christmas day; and thanks to a
good Co. Commander he got a
pass and is on his way to see the
mother and daughter. I can’t
find words to try to express what
that young couple will go thru
now. The fighting the father will
probably do won’t be as bad as
that young mother will do to
raise the baby by herself. So,
not only do you fellows that stay
behind have to keep our ammu-
nitoin belts full, but those young
mothers have to have an encour-
aging helping hand. Better still,
just give us two ammunition
belts; maybe we can shorten the
time when those young kids will
be back home with their fami-
lies.
We realize you all are doing the
biggest job of all and we are de-
pending on you for those belts
“full.” However, as bad as all
this seems, we can’t imagine any-
thing that would be as bad as
those tyrants would do to our
loved ones if they won, and for
them to win is to kill every Am-
erican soldier and sailor. How
many of them would we leave?
So let’s take up another notch
and go a little farther and cry,
wives and mothers but do it at
night.- Keep smiling and waiting
and stop worrying. Everything
will turn out O. K.
I never cried in my life, but
thinking of those young mothers
and babies nearly breaks me
down. It’s up to the older mo-
thers to help the young ones out
now. Wishing to thank you again
for the aid you give the Merchant
Marines and hoping you get the
idea what needs to be done now.
