HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATION OF ALL
CITIZENS SHOULD BE COMPULSORY
<*>-
The following are some es-
says written by seniors, expres-
sing their ideas on education.
THE SOPHOMORE PARTY
The room mothers of the
Sophomore class entertained with
a party at the old bakery on the
night of Monday, Dec. 28th.
Dancing was enjoyed until a late
hour. Delicious ' sandwiches,
cookies, and punch as refresh-
ments were served to a large
group.
The class wishes to thank their
room mothers for their thought-
fulness in providing this enjoy-
able occasion for them.

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF
Jean and Pete would break up?
Minda Faye went to Laredo?
We would have had a White
Christmas?
Mike didn’t like to dance?
Viola failed a subject?
The Shorthand class learned
anything?
Charles could learn English?
La Bonnie went to Missouri?
Charlyn and Kathryn joined the
W. A. A. C.?
Andrew didn’t have gasoline?
Kathryn and Minda “really
took a trip to Ft. Knox, Ky?
Andrew were to get too talka-
tive ?
Virgil could read a book with
leisure?
There were no more dear for
these great hunters?
Bonnie didn’t keep the post of-
fice busy with that certain let-
ter?

HERE’S TO YOU
High school education of all
citizens should be compulsory be-
cause without it one is handi-
capped all along through life.
Education refines and helps one
to be better able to succeed in
whatever business or profession
he may choose as his life’s work.
A high school education brings
out the qualities of leadership
possessed by one, whereas with-
out a high school education this
person would not have a chance
to rise above the average person,
j Without an education one does
not have an eqhal chance with
those who are educated in high
school and will find that all
through life he will regret the
,fact of not having more educa-
i tion.
In many cases one finds that
jthe lack of a high school train-
ing causes great financial set-
| backs or a complete failure many
times. One cannot be an effec-
tive asset to his community, to
the state, or to the nation; if he
remains ignorant of fundamen-
tals which he receives in a high
school course of study. With an
education one is qualified to be
a better citizen and is more able
to exercise his rights at the poll
in any election. With high .school
education one also has a good
foundation for a higher course
of study. Then if a person cares
to pursue this course he is able
to do so.
In closing, I might add that an
education makes one open mind-
ed and tolerant toward his fel-
lowman. In other words, a per-
son is a better sport in every
way.
Bonnie Lea Walker
A high school educatiop is an
opportunity which many children
are deprived of. It has been said
that, “school days are the happi-
est days of your life”, even
though you sometimes do not rea-
lize it at the time.
Many times a high school edu-
cation is also a necessity as a
basis of a person’s later work. If
he leaves school at an early age,
he probably will not yet know, age
what he will do in his later life 1
and might take the wrong path, j
If he goes through high school he i
may have permanently decided j
what he will do and will have a j
good start in life. Many jobs re- i
quire a high school education, and j
some business of his own would j
also require some knowledge to j
keep the business going and to 1
make a success of it.
Even if his work would never j
make use of many of the sub- i
jects he studied in school, he
would have the pleasure of know-
ing a little about them. Every
citizen should be required to
have a high school education and
he should make an attempt to
do the best he can in his studies
because “the more you put into
something, the more you get out
of it.”

CPL. M. C. HEINEMANN
Among the many “brothers”
serving in'Uncle Sam’s far-flung

32, and Private first class
Robert Heinemann, age 33.
Monroe enlisted in 1940 at Fort
Sam Houston. From there he was
transferred, successively, to warrtq
Brownwood, Louisian,. Florida,, waiter was drafted from Fred-
and for some time now he nas
PVT. WALTER HEINEMANN

THE DATE VARIED . . .
Who celebrated the first Christ-
mas? The truth is, nobody
knows. Nearly 400 years were to
elapse between the birth at Beth-
lehem and its observance as a
religious festival. That was not
surprising. The early Christians
were too busy spreading the new
faith to be very greatly concerned
about birthdays.
To make it more complicated,
nobody knew, and nobody knows
to this day, just when Christ was
born. So for a long time ,the oc-
casion was celebrated on Janu-
ary 6, which was a very common
date for certain pagan festivals
in the third and fourth centuries.
Sometimes it was observed as
late as March 25.
December 25 was probably
chosen because it was an ancient
festival day for the converts
found in Britain, and also for the
followers of the rival Mithraic
religion in the east.
The early church fathers were
never ones to quibble about non-
essentials. Whenever they could,
they built on what they found.
This new philosophy of loving
thy neighbor as thyself was up-
setting enough in itself without
introducing new complications.
Succeeding generations would
have done well to retain that wise
and resultful method.
Most dates are “the bunk” any-
way ,as many a youthful student
of history will tell you. We cele-
brate our independence on July
4, but that wasn’t the date at all.
It was July 2 when the resolution
proposing indenpendence was ad-
opted. And don’t bet that George
Washigton was born on Febru-
ary 22, 1732, because he wasn’t.
Getting back back to Christ-
mas, it is only in the Teutonic
countries that the exchange of
gifts is customary. Among the
“IF”
Kathryn could stay in town,
wouldn’t she and Carlos go plac-
es?
Pauline hadn’t taken us on sur-
prise, we wouldn’t have had such
a shock. Electricity is expensive,
you know .
Mr. wasn’t so gay and tole-
rant with his puplis, school
wouldn’t be nearly so much fun.
Jean kept her New Year’s reso-
lution to get to school on time it
would save learning a lot of
poetry.
If could ever be; well,
never knows, does one?

GRAMMAR GRADE NEWS
The first and second grades
have new January decorations of
snow men and calendars. They
are also weaving mats of colored
paper.
The fifth grade is now studying
about Africa. They have new
geography maps which help
connect them closely to Africa.
It is a very interesting subject be-
cause of the present situation of
the war and the battle fields of
Casa Blanca, Tunis, and Algiers.
Altogether the children enjoy it
very much.
The eight grade has been tak-
ing achievement tests and their
new pupil is Aubrey Carter.
Minda Faye
FUN!
From what I hear everyone had
a very merry Christmas despite
the shortage of gas.
My, my, Charlyne but you be-
come more ardent every time you
are seen out. Do you have a
formula for this?
You can always tell when
Mike is having fun. His hands
are in his pockets to the very
depths and a smile on his face
that says, “There’s a lot of fun
left in life after all”.
Hobson reaches the height of
his happiness when he gets to
Fredericksburg. I’ll agree the
climate is swell, but is it always
the weather?
The way Minda Faye appears
and reappears escorted by Uncle
Sam’s son. This has been going
on for quite a while now. We’re
getting the general idea anyway.

French and Latins, gifts are sav-
ed for New Year’s. The Teutonic
peoples merely adopted the pre-
cedent set by the eastern wise
men who had brought their treas-
ures of gold, frankincense and
myrrh.
Note, by the way, that there
was no “Indian giving” to those
original gifts. There was no won-
dering what they would get in
return. And they gave to the
child
a bit of mental food in that
These gifts, incidentally, very
likely made it possible for the
parents to become refugees in
Egypt while Herod went about
his business of child killing.
We were in the middle of our
research on this commentary on
Christmas when a salesman came
into our office and we began to
talk about the post war world.
We were agreed that no peace
which could not be set up could
possibly seem fair to all concern-
ed a generation later. If Germany
and Japan are told they can never
make another ship or plane or
gun, and that penalty is eforced,
children born today in 25 years
will say, and rightfully, “Why
punish us for the sins of our
fathers?”
“What, then, is the answer?”
“Only one,” said the salesman.
“There is only one possible solu-
tion to this world’s problems.
Brotherly love! Don’t ask me how
to go about selling the idea uni-
versally.All I know is that it is
the only thing left that can
work.”
Well, we’ve had the formula
for more than 1900 years. Maybe
it’s time to give it a try. It can’t
possibly be as bad as the ones
we’re using now. Funny, isn’t it,
where your mind runs when you
set out to think seriously for a
moment about the meaning of
Christmas?—G.S., in the KVP
Philosopher.

Temporary Transport Ra-
tions For Trucks Deadline
Set For January 31st
Deadline for the Gillespie
County War Price and Rationing
Board to issue temporary trans-
port rations for trucks, buses and
other commercial vehicles has
been set for January 31, E. C.
Schmidt, chairman of the local
board, announced today.
A new amendment to the ra-
tioning regulatinos also authoriz-
ed the board to issue these ra-
not to each other. _ There’s j tion in the following cases, in ad-
-p ^ dition ^ose previously provid-
ed for:
1. Where a certificate of war
necessity issued by the Office of
Defense Transportation clearly
does not allow enough gasoline
to take care of the applicant’s re-
quirements through January 31.
This provision was previously an-
nounced, although OPA boards in
certain cases were authorized to
issue temporary rations only thru
Dec. 31.
2. Where a previously issued
transport rationing is insufficient
to meet the applicant’s needs
through January 31 and the ap-
plicant has not as yet received
liis war necessity, and his appli-
cation has not been denied.
3. Where the transport ration
has been granted upon the basis
of a certificate of war necessity
and the ration is insufficient to
meet the applicant’s requirements
through January 31, and where
the appeal has not as yet, been
acted upon.
Mr. Schmidt said that January
31 has been set as the last date
for issuance of temporary trans-
port rations at the request of
ODT, which pointed out that ac-
tion on appeal for larger rations
than those allowed on the war
certificates could be completed by
that time.
This action is taken in Amend-
ment No. 7 to Ration Order No.
85 C, and becomes effective De-
cember 31.
Lieutenant Joe Petsch, son of
Col. and Mrs. Alfred Petsch, has
arrived safely in North Africa,
according to information receiv-
ed by his parents on Dec. 26th.
It was the first information of
the whereabouts of Lt. Petsch
which had been received here dur-
ing the past three months. How-
ever, he stated that he was well
and fine, but did not disclose his
exact whereabouts ,etc.

Lt Eugene Hirsch Writes
From North Africa
First Lieutenant Eug. Hirsch,
son of County Judge and Mrs.
Henry Hirsch, has written his
parets that he arrived safely in
North Africa recently. No details
were given as to his duties or his
exact whereabouts, but it is pre-
sumed that he may have been
in the theatre of war operations
which have been in progress in
that area for several weeks. Lt.
Hirsch had had no recent letters
or mail from home, according to
his latest letter to his parents.
