THE BOEKNE STAR
NEW DANCE ORCHESTRA
Boerne and Kendall county
have a new dance orchestra; not
merely a western band, or an old
time band, but a band versatile
enough to combine all three
phases of music, thus bringing
in something the surrounding
towns have heard little or noth-
ing of until now; popular dance
music.
Stepping on stage for the first
time last Friday night in honor
of a Junior-Senior tacky party,
the orchestra, composed of sax-
aphone, trumpet, and trombone
in the brass section, and piano,
drums and electric guitar in the
rythmn section, proceeded to
surprise most of the attendance
by delivering a well-done ren-
dition of popular, and old time
music. Little western music was
played, although it will be add-
ed in good quantity this Satur-
day night when the' band ex-
posed to the general public for
the first time, playsat 3-Way
Inn.
The orchestra, which has not
yet been named had already ac-
quired a large following, and the
members and 3-Way Inn are of-
fering the combined sum of
$10.00 to be presented Saturday
night for the best suggestion of
a nnme for the band. The name
must not include the name of
any person, or place, or of any
surrounding town or county.
Suggestions will be accepted by
any member of the band as late
as Friday noon.
PROCLAMATION
With the coming of spring this second year after
the cessation of hostilities of World War II, and with
the gradual return to a peace economy in which abun-
dance rather than scarcity is again becoming an ac-
cepted part of our way of life, and with the immediate
possibility, for the first time since before the war, of
redecorating, repairing, rebuilding, and re-creating our
homes, our gardens, our lawns, our public institutions,
and our business houses for better, pleasanter, more
convenient living; let us therefore resolve to work to-
gether as a body to make the city of Boerne a neater,
a cleaner, and a safer place in which to live and to bring
up our children.
I, therefore, Wm. Gammon Davis, mayor of this
city, do ordain and designated the week of March 24
through April 5 as Clean-up, Fix-up, Paint-up Week
for Boerne and I do further designate this week as a
time for the replanting of gardens, flowers, and lawns,
and as a time for all citizens to work together to help
make this city a more beautiful place in which to live,
a place which we will always be proud to call Our Home.

City of Boerne, Texas

<rom where I sit... ly Joe Marsh
Apple Tree Versus
Wheat Field
If you ever visit Jeb Crowell’s
farm, he’ll take you right out on
that back porch of his and show
you his apple tree.
“There,” says Jeb, “is nature’s
noblest creation—fifty years, and
bearin’ still the finest cider apples
in the county!”
But last fall, when a group of
us was there, Lud Denny points
across the river to his grain fields
and says: “There’s an even finer
sight! Acres and acres of golden
grain you can make dozens of
appetizing things with—including
wholesome, sparkling beer.”
Both of them got so eloquent on
the subject, that the rest of us
worked up quite a thirst; so Jeb
goes to the icebox for beer and
cider. And when the refreshments
come, Lud chooses cider, and Jeb
takes the beer!
From where I sit, that’s the
answer to most disputes. You can
talk all you want, but when it
comes to tastes and preferences,
there’s just no argument.
GRANGE NEWS
The Parish Hall of the Epis-
copal Church, new regular meet
ing place of the Boerne Grange,
was the scene of a very nice
meeting on Friday night, March
21.
Eleven new members were ad-
mitted to our Chapter. We are
very happy to have these fine
folks meet with us and hope we
may very soon welcome more.
Brother M. M. Smith secured
several timely films on soil con-
servation and production to show
on the evening’s program. The
films were very instructive, par
ticularly in regard to showing
the tremendous amount of chem
ical value taken from the soil
to produce various types of
plants.
The members voted to have
two meetings monthly, if the
meeting place can be made avail
able for an additional night each
month. Two meetings would pre
vent having to give nearly the
whole of each meeting over to
business.
After the meeting delicious re
freshments were served and a
contest was enjoyed in which
paper dresses were fitted to five
or six ladies by that many gid-
dy fashion experts, who were
none other than some of our
farm-minded men.
During the next four or five
months attendance had better
be good, for there is a big at-
tendance contest on in which the
losers serve the food at a picnic
and the winners the entertain-
ment. The ladies also have an
apron sewing contest partly in-
volved in all this.
