BENEFIT BASE BALL GAME
On Sunday, Sept. 9th., there
will be a benefit base ball game
at Bower Field, between the
Ex-Boerne White Sox and the
present Boeme White Sox. This
should be an interesting game
to watch as you will see some
ex-stars in action. There will be
many thrills and spills, and a
doctor and ambulance will be on
hand to take care of any casual-
ties that might arise.
Right after the ball game, a
tamale and chili supper will be
served on the grounds.
Make plans now to attend this
benefit game and watch the ex-
stars in action.

GRASS FIRES ON DECLINE
Local volunteer firemen have
for the past few weeks been
leading a more relaxed life#
there have been only two rural
fires in two weeks.
One grass fire was at Myers
place on the Bandera Road and
a second one was at Lake Side
Acres on the San Antonio Road.
The fire rate in Boerne has
been cut by 95%, according to
Don Gourley, Fire Chief.
BACK TO SCHOOL
WITH THE P. T. A.
With the beginning of a new
school year for Boeme boys and
girls, parents have another
chance to find out more about
their school. The Boeme Parent
and Teachers Association is
ready to enroll you as a mem-
oer—and we hope anactive one
-—so that we may all work to-
gether for your child and my
child. Your local P. T. A. exists
“for the constructive coopera-
tion of parents and teachers, ac-
cording to the P. T. A. Manual.”
“The P. T. A. should enable both
home and school to understand
one another’s problems.” We’d
like to count on you.
Membership dues are $1.00
for each parent and P. T. A. is
a family affair. The membership
chairman is Mrs. John E. Vogt.
The Executive Committee is
made up of officers elected in
the spring, committee chairmen
appointed by the officers, and
the principals. “The purpose of
the Executive Committee is to
carry forward the work of the
Association by providing a small
representative group for handl-
ing certain details of business.”
The report of this committee is
always presented to the Asso-
ciation.
An informal coffee was held
in the home of Mrs. Fred Beer,
president, on August 10 to ac-
quaint the Executive Commit-
tee with its duties. Members
present were Mrs. Jack Adams,
1st. Vice-Pres.; Mrs. John E.
Vogt, 2nd. Vice-Pres.; Mrs. Bill
Noll, secretary; Mrs. R. F.
George, treasurer; Mrs. Willard
Dierks and Mrs. Bill Merchant,
program; Mrs. Jake Beasley,
Publications; Mrs. Bill Tomlin-
son, Publicity; Mrs. Phil Guth-
rie, Civil Defense; Mrs. Foster
Cravey and Mrs. Walter Berg-
mann, Projects; Mrs. J. H. Mc-
Clurg, Home Room Mothers;
and Mrs. J. H. Rilling, Hospital-
ity. Additional members unable
to attend were'* Mrs. Ray Smart,
Budget; Mrs. C. W. Aleshire,
Hospitality; Mrs. Cliff Lewis,
Yearbook; Mrs. John Bowman,
Parliamentarian; Mrs. Levy
Zoeller, Scrapbook and Historian
Mrs. J. L. Dudley and Mrs. Le-
roy Day, Home Room Mothers.
Since that meeting Mrs. R. F.
George has resigned because she
is moving from Boeme. A new
treasurer will be elected at the
September meeting.
The purpose of the P. T. A. is
not a money making organiza-
tion, but it is customary to plan
a Halloween Carnival for kids
from “6 to 60”. While providing
a service, the profit earned is
spent for the children. There
are always more needs than
funds. Life is like that. But your
Boerne P. T. A. is proud for
your child to walk on P. T. A.
sponsored sidewalks and play
safely behind P. T. A. sponsored
chain link fences. Over the past
years the P. T. A. has given fans
books to the library, reference
books and mimeograph machines
used by your children. While
there gifts are not our main
goals, we show our appreciation
and concern by giving them.
School needs will always be
great. P. T. A. needs will al-
ways be great. But what we
need most right now is YOU.
