EMPLOYERS LAUDED
BY ARMY
Austin, Texas. — There is an
increasing realization8 among
employers of the vital import-
ance of the Army’s reserve com-
ponents, Lt. Gen. I. D. . White,
Fourth Army commander, said
today in pointing to the highly
successful summer training pro-
gram of the National Guard and
Army Reserve in the Fourth
Army area.
“Cooperation of emp^yers in
granting employees military
leave”, General White said, “en-
abled the Guard to surpass last
year’s attendance record at sum-
mer encampments and for the
Army Reserve to equal its 1953
showing.” '
Ninety-six per cent of Nation-
al Guard members attended
summer encampments, which
was one per cent higher than
last year, while the Army Re-
serve held steady with 82 per
cent of its members assigned
to units in the Army area at-
tending.
Praising employers for their
cooperation, General White de-
clared that' permitting emp^y-
ees military leave is one of the
most economical means of secur-
ing effective national defense.
“Employers realize,” he added,
“that in supporting the Army’s
program by this policy they are
practicing sound business as
well as creating good will.”
Employers, in many instances
it was pointed out, made up the
difference between mihtary and
civilian pay while their employ-
ees were at summer encamp-
ments.

SUPERINTENDENT
REPORTS
A survey was made of all bus
routes to determine whether a’l
riders were eligible for bus
transportation to and from
school. In order for a pupil to be
eligible he must live two miles
from school (measure by the
nearest commonly traveled pub-
lic road.) A number of pupils
who cou!d not qualify in respect
to the above regulations were
requested to refrain from riding-
school buses.
The Boerne School Cafeteria
is now serving on an average of
410 pupils per day. The Cafe-
teria is under the supervision of
Mrs. Ame Richardson, assisted
by Mesdames Hulda Uecker,
Rena McBee, Rose Kirkpatrick
and Alice Schwarz. The school
lunch is being served for 25c
per pupil which is one of the
lowest in the State of Texas.
This low price is made possible
by the work of the employees
and Surp'us Government com-
modities which consist of dried
milk, fruit, honey, butter, po-
tatoes, beans and many others.
School board members on the
lunch room committee are Mrs.
Ramsey Yelvington and Benno
Froboese. A trip to Dallas is
planned by Supt. Liesman and
several Board members where
they will be in conference with
Dr. Skipping. Future building
plans wil1 be presented to deter-
mine how the recently allocated
funds can be used to the best
possible advantage.
A Tribute
The school is proud to name
as its first outstanding school
patron Mr. H. Alex Fish, born
in Okolona, Miss., on May 29th
1917. He attended high school
there then Rice Institute, Hous-
ton, where he received his B. A.
Degree. Served in the Air Corps
for three years and nine months
as Navigator, Bombardier, flew
21 combat missions, including
one emergency Uncling with a
badly crippled ship. Alex was
awarded the Distinguished Fly-
ing Cross and the Air Medal
three times. In 1938 while visit-
ing his aunt and uncle on the
H. M. Crighton ranch he met
Miss Margie Becker whom he
later married. The Fish’s have
one daughter Margaret and one
son John Crighton. Alex is Asso
ciated with the Ford Motor Co.
Alex was a member of the
School Board for seven years,
one of which he served as it’s
president.
For many years, Alex has
announced for al1 the football
games, missing only one when
he was out of town.
Alex has been outstanding in
the tireless and unselfish help
he has rendered the School Sys-
tem during the past years. His
efforts have done a lot to make
our school the fin progressive
school it is today.
Our floor polishers are for
rent.

ANSWER TO "TAXJAYER"
An anonymous letter seldom merits an answer,
but acting on the supposition that you are seriously con-
cerned, you are quite probably entitled to a reply in this
case.
In the first place my campaign is not being back-
ed by any organization or individual. I have no rela-
tives in the County and whatever success I may have
is entirely dependent on my friends and the thinking
>
people in the County, like yourself.
You are conversant with many of the facts which
originally caused me to seek the office of County Judge,
Out of a sense of fairness to the coming election I do not
think it proper for me to make these statements public,
but I think you will find that most of the thinking people
in the County are aware of the situation.
My answer to all of your questions is "NO" and
I would refer you to my interview with the Comfort News
which was published several weeks ago.
