CATTLE INSPECTORS
ATTEND CRIMINAL
INVESTIGATIONS
SEMINAR
Presentation of graduation
certificates to Texas and South-
western Cattle Raisers Associa-
tion field inspectors climaxed
three days of concentrated study
at a Criminal Investigations
Seminar conducted by the Texas
Department of Public Safety in
Austin, Sept. 12-14.
The certificates were present-
ed by Homer Garrison, Jr., DPS
director.
The TSCRA inspectors were
brought up-to-date on livestock
law, criminal investigation tech-
niques, and methods of develop-
ing evidence for use in prose-
cuting cattle thieves.
Twenty-six inspectors from
Texas and three from Oklahoma
attended. The inspectors in Tex-
as carry special Texas Ranger
commissions and inspectors in
Oklahoma are special agents of
the Oklahoma Crime Bureau.
The inspectors, in cooperation
with local and state law enforce-
ment officials, are primarily re-
sponsible for controlling cattle
theft.
In opening the Sominar, Joe
S. Fletcher of Fort Worth, TS-
CRA secretary-general manager
pointed out that cattle theft re-
mains an ever present problem,
and that continued control re-
quires constant vigil.
The art of finger printing,
making plaster casts, an under-
standing of ballistics and a host
of other modern criminal tech-
niques are used in tracing down
the modern cattle thief.

TO PARTICIPATE IN
TESTING PROGRAM
Boerne Public Schools will
participate in the Texas Testing
Program for the two-year period
from 1962 to 1964, which is un-
der the supervision of the De-
partment of Guidance and Su-
pervision of the Texas Education
Agency. All testing materials
and the scoring are supplied
through the Agency with no
cost to the local schools. “The
advantage to our schools is the
opportunity to use the best
types of tests of which some
are too expensive for us to ob-
tain through our local budget,”
comments Mrs. Hilma Carrell,
the school counselor. “Five of
the accepted tests of the Texas
Testing Program will be admin-
istered in junior and senior high
school students during the 1962-
68 school year. With the seven
tests that are furnished through
the National Defense Education
Act of 1958 our schools have
twelve very adequate tests with
no cost to the local schools.
These tests are assigned to
grades six through twelve.”
To secure a complete testing
program for the purpose of mak
ing better test interpretation of
each individual the remaining
tests which are purchased by
the Counseling and Guidance De-
partment Budget which is recom
mended by the local school ad-
ministration to the Board of
Trustees who make the final de-
cision.
The focus of the whole test-
ing program is to give a fair
and adequate placement for each
grade and to every student in
the Boerne Schol Ssytem. The
present test program for 1962-
63 was highly acclaimed in the
Counselor’s Workshop at The
University of Utah this summer
—particularly for the small high
schools.
BIG RATTLER KILLED
A rattlesnake measuring slig-
htly less than six feet was on
display in the bed of a truck
last week.
The rattler, killed by Robert
Ellsworth on his place about
51/2 miles south on the Van
Raub Road measured 2i/2 inch-
es across the head, the snake
probably was hunting a place to
hibernate for the winter months.
Cats and dogs on the place lo-
cated the snake and sounded an
alarm in the night.
This is the danger season for
poisonous snakes, they travel by
night and are looking for win-
ter shelter.

LOCAL CAFE BURGLARIZED
For the second time in two
weeks the Shamrock Cafe, on
Highway 87 north, has been
broken into and burglarized.
On August 29, when the first
entry was made, between $75.00
and $125.00 plus a large amount
of cigarettes was taken.
Apparently the same thieves
again entered the Cafe on Tues-
day night, leaving the place in
shambles. No itemized account
was obtainable at this time.
According to Sheriff Lee
D’Spain some very legible fing-
erprints were left behind.
Mr. Martin Maenius is owner
of the Shamrock.
SOCIAL SECURITY
Many people who have become
unable to work because of ill-
ness or injury are running the
risk of losing cash . disability
benefits because they do not ap-
ply for them promptly, John D.
Palmer, District Manager of the
San Antonio office of the U. S.
Social Security Administration,
announced today. Even though
disability insurance benefits
have been payable under the So-
cial Security Act for 5 years
now, he stated, many people do
not know that they must file
an application to become entit-
led to benefits. Disability bene-
fits can be paid under the follow
ing conditions, according to Mr.
Palmer.
1. The worker must be unable
to perform any kind of work be-
cause of an illness or injury.
2. The condition must have
existed sim months and be ex-
pected to continue indefinitely.
3. The worker must have been
either employed or self-employ-
ed in work covered by the Social
Security Act for 5 years out of
the 10 years before the disabil-
ity began.
In order to eliminate the risk
of loss of benefits, the applica-
tion should be filed promptly.
Mrs. K. Huth of San Antonio
spent Monday in Boerne with
Mrs. Margaret Schwarz. On
Tuesday Mrs. Schwarz, Mrs. A.
A. Pechacek, and Miss Mary
Pechacek spent the day in San
Antonio.

o’clock. A covered dish dinner at
12 o’clock noon.

vegetable dish, plates, knives
and forks.
SOCIAL SECURITY
Are you 62 or older and still
working? Have you ever check-
ed to see if you might be eligible
to receive social security bene-
fits? Have you ever applied for
social security benefits adn been
turned down because you had
not worked long enough under
social security? If so, you may
now be eligible for payments be-
cause of recent changes in the
law.
Men may not choose to have
their benefits begin as soon as
they reach 62. However, just as
in the case of a woman worker,
a man who decides to take his
benefits as soon as he becomes
62 will receive 80% of the month
ly benefit he would have receiv-
ed had he waited until he was
65.

your social security representa-
tive, Mr. Jones who will be in

ber 27, 1962 at 8:30 a. m.
