PHARISAICAL PATRIOTISM
There are numerous Pharisaical
railers hitched to the engine of
patriotism these days, twilight
baseball, tavern dancing, tooth-
paste, front line souvenirs, waist-
line belts for ladies of expanding
dimensions are all projected and
advertised to help our “defense
effort”. Judges in chancery en-
large their patriotic chests and
sentence a man to three months
in jail for saying that President
Roosevelt wore his necktie crook-
ed while hurrying to meet an ap-
pointment; will consign a beauty
critic to the roekpile for opinng
that Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt is
not the handsomest First Lady
that has ever spread charm over
the White House. Patriotism is
a high, hoy thing. We must live
for it, not on it. Our concept of
duty must be higher and deeper
than front line trench service in
Washington’s swivel chair battle-
ground.

BREAKDOWN FOR
OVERWORK
A recent editorial in the Balti-
more Sun declares that there has
never been a case of mental
breakdown attributable solely to
overwork or overstudy. Dr. Ar-
thur H. Ruggles .president of the
American Psychiatric Associa-
tion, has been on the lookout for
such a case for the last thirty
years, but he has been unable to
find one. “A man who likes his
job,” he says, “and'feels that he
is getting ahead in the world, and
has no great domestic difficul-
ties, can stand an unbelievable
amount of work and actually
thrive on it. Such a person does-
n’t worry; and a man who does-
n’t worry is invulnerable to most
of the psychoses. It is the mom-
ent he begins to suspect that he
isn’t getting anywhere that the
trouble starts, for then he begins
to worry, and worry leads to a
great cycle of difficulties. Some-
times he takes to alcohol. More
frequently, perhaps, he develops
insomnia. He doesn’t get enough
rest at night to eliminate the fa-
tigue poisons accumulated durng
the day, and then he is headed
for a smash. The worry may not
come from his job. A wife or a
son or his companion may cause
it. In any case, however, it is
anxiety and not labor that
breaks the man down.” This will
be bad news for those people who
are always fearing they have too
much work ,and that they should
spend the winter in Florida to
conserve their health. The ordin-
ary person who has not the mon-
ey to go on vacation and who
must work twelve months in the
year to support his family, will
realize the truth in Dr. Ruggles’
statement.
MRS. ELLA JANE STEVENS
Mrs. Ella Jane Stevens, who
was laid to rest on Sunday, June
13th, at the age of 83 years, 3
months and' 23 days, is pictured
in the above photo as she was so
often seen by her many friends
and relatives during her constant
confinement for the past 7 1-2
years.
Despite her aged years and the
illness with which she contented
and confined herself to her “sun-
shine room,” Mrs. Stevens main-
tained an unflinching cheerful-
ness and faith in the hereafter
which reflected itself in the good
she advocated among those, how-
ever depressed, who visited her at
any and all times.
—Photo Contributed
She was a widow for four days
less than 55 years. At the time
of the death of her husband, she
continued to work the ranch on
which they lived to bring up their
four children who were only 10,
9, 7, and 4 years of age when her
husband suddenly expired due to
a serious illness. She came to
Gillespie County with her parents
from Illinois at the age of only
one year and since that time she
had resided her entire life here.
Her passing leaves an empty
space which none can fill and
which none can realize but those
who knew and loved her best.

Board Members Request All
Patrons Of School District
To Vote on Bond Issue
The School Board of the Harper
Consolidated School District ur-
gently requests that each and
every voter come to the school
next Tuesday, June 30th, and vote
on the $5,000.00 bond issue, which
is to supplement W.P.A. funds in
completing the present building
and for the construction of a new
Defense Building.
This issue is in the amount of
$5,000.00 and it will positively
not increase the tax rate of the
district. In fact, the tax rate can
not be legally increased on either
the old original District or the
Consoilidated School District.
This bond issue will be paid off
five years before the present is-
sue at the present tax rate, be-
cause of the increased valuation
in the Consolidation of the Reser-
vation and James River Districts.
It has been disclosed that the
sinking funds have a surplus of
approximately $1,000.00 from this
increased property valuation to
help pay off this bond, which is
the only legal way of using the
surplus funds.
The $5,000 Bond Issue money
will have to be voted in order to
finish the present building and
to build the new Defense Build-
ing. The W.P.A. will match the
$5,000.00 bond issue with an ad-
ditional amount of approximately
$19,000.00 to complete the school
building and a sum of approxi-
mately $14,000.00 for the construc-
tion of the new Defense Building.
All voters are urged and re-
quested by the school board to
cast their vote on this issue at
the school building next Tuesday,
June 30th.

within a month in Fredericksburg
was reported Wednesday morning

the death of Henry Kammlah,
Sr., age 79, a life-long resident of
this county. Carl Otto, also age
79, committed suicide by a self-
inflicted gunshot wound less than
four weeks ago on June 3rd.
According to Coroner Wm.
Bruns, Justice of the Peace, Pre-
cinct 1, death was attributed to
suicide by hanging and strangu-
lation, caused by a melancholic
condition of the mind, and des-
pondency. It is reported that sev-
eral previous attempts were made
by the deceasd man to take his
own life, each previous attempt
having, however, been frustrated.
It is also reported that he became

COMFORT WOOL THEFT
SUSPECTS ARRESTED
Six persons who allegedly par-
ticipated in the theft of 3,000
pounds of wool from a railroad
car at Comfort Sunday have been
taken into custody, two of them
by Bexar Co. officers, Sheriff S.
F. Edge of Boerne said Monday

One of the suspects was a resi-
den of San Antonio, Edge said.
Three were residents of Comfort
and two listed Kerrville as their
resident.
Part of the loot was found at
Kerrville, 1,000 pounds had been
sold in San Antonio and the re-
mainder was found in a residence
on Hidalgo St., officers said.
The 3,000 pounds of wool was

attributed to his death included
his despondency over the loss of

also suggested that a mental dis-

mind may have contributed to
the suicide.

$800 in prize money. The wildest
broncs and steers obtainable have
been contracted for by the Kerr-
ville Junior Chamber of Com-

Added features at both shows

the coronation ceremony.
On Monday of this week, i.e. on
June 22, Sister Mary Laurina,
who was known as Alice Maurer,
took her perpetual vows m trie
chapel of the Divine Providence
Sisters in San Antonio.
To take perpetual vows means
simply to promise God solemnly
to live the rest of one s life as a
Sister or Nun, i.e. obedient to the
vows of poverty (to own nothing
personally), chastity (to live pure
and unmarried), and obedience
(subject to the command of the
Superior).
Perpetual vows are taken by a
Nun only after years of trial.
The number of years varies in the
different religious orders. This
is about the general procedure:
The young lady who desires
to enter a convent must conform
to certain standards, principally
of character. She first becomes a
‘postulant’, and this for a period
of at least six months. She lives
the religious life without being
bound to it, and may leave any
day she chooses.
After this she becomes a ‘no-
vice’ for at least one year, and
again lives the life of a. Sister
without any obligaton to remain
in the convent, and without taking
any vows.
Following this she takes the
three vows mentioned above for
upon the rules of the Ordeh she
one year or more, depending
has entered. After that period
has expired, she is free to return
home and to the world if she so
chooses.
In some Orders a second period
of temporary vows is provided,
usually for five years, after which
the person is again free to re-
turn home if she wishes, At the
conclusion of these trial periods
ONLY—which varies from about
5 to 8 years—is a Sister permitted
to pronounce the vows which bind
her for- life.
Someone has said with truth,
that it is easier to get OUT of
the convent, than it is to get IN.
Religious Vacation
School
The annual Religious Vacation
School for the children of St.
Anthony’s parish opened Mon-

ion of Father Gitter, the Pastor.
Sister M. Alice has charge of

M. Attracta of the larger ones.
Project work, singing and recre-
ation are combined with instruc-
tions and study to make a well
rounded and most satisfactory

lined and recommended by the
central office of the Confrater-
nity of Christian Doctrine is be-
ing followed.
The books necessary are fur-
nished free to the children,
