COUNCIL —
(Continued trom Page 1)
subject in more detail. This
meeting is to be held next
Thursday at 7:30.
While discussing the Horton
matter, the council pointed out
that it already has several
paving petitions which had
been filed over recent months
and when the time comes to
lay pavement, they would of
necessity have to be handled
in the order filed-
It also noted that it would
desire as near complete parti-
cipation of property owners as
possible, so as to avoid “check-
erboarding.”
Another matter that was dis-
cussed was pertaining the
drainage matter in the north-
eastern part of town. The
council approved the making
of an easement with Mrs. Dor-
othy Schultz for a strip of land
25 feet wide and approximately
360 feet in length, which would
be used as right-of-way for
continuing the drainage ditch
that now runs along the north-
east boundary of the cify cem-
etery and drains into the city’s
old gravel pit to the southeast.
The building and grounds
committee previously had con-
ferred with Mrs. Schultz rela-
tive to either purchasing the
entire 7.9 tract the latter owns
and which is bounded by the
cemetery, MKT tracts to the
east, Eblin St. on the south,

and Negro cemetery and the
Jarmon property on the west;
or purchase the easement. The
council chose the latter route.
Bids for city depositories
and official newspaper were
opened at the Wednesday
meeting. Accepted were those
of The First National Bank pf
La Grange as utility funds
depository, La Grange State
Bank as city funds depository,
and the Journal as official
paper.

(Continued trom Page 1)
Feb. 4, 1945. In the same year
a building fund campaign was
organized with G. A. Koenig
serving as energetic general
chairman.
On Sept. 22, 1946, it was
voted to buy a new church
site between S. Jefferson and
S. Washington, bordering on
Walnut Street. The spacious
educational building and par-
sonage were dedicated Jan. 29,
1950, and May 15, a sizable
loan was obtained and plans
proceeded for the erection of
the church. Nov. 26, 1950,
ground was broken. Wm. F.
Hofmann was chairman of the
board and of the building com-
mittee. The new church was
dedicated June 8, 1952.
Many members of the church
contributed regularly to their
building fund, but the last
$11,000 of the debt was paid in
the final year ending May 15,
nine years ahead of schedule.
“We are deeply thankful to
Almighty God for His special
guidance and undeserved
blessings of the past,” the pas-
tor said, “and we invoke His
continued help as we plan for
further development and im-
provements in the future.”
St. Paul Lutheran church
had a baptized membership of
927 and a confirmed member-
ship of 692 on Dec. 31, 1960.
In i960 the average Sunday
worship attendance was 407.
Members of the board or
church council for 1961 are A.
W. Gau, president; A. J. Petru-
sek, vice-president; Arthur J.
Friemel, secretary; Erwin W.
Janssen, treasurer; Vernon H.
Wamken. Atlan M. Citzler, Al-
fred Frerichs, Jack Campbell
and George H. Osthoff. Serv-
ing as financial secretary for
the past several years is Mil-
ton von Minden.

10-run rule.
Weimar got 10 bingles off
Bastrop’s Rudy Barron. Fran-
kie Cemosek and Russell Judd
set the pace with a double and
single apiece.
Shiner 4, Sch’burg 1
Shiner’s Howard Petrek and
Carroll Sembera likewise team-
ed to permit only one single,
and that off Sembera, to de-
feat Schulenburg’s Texans by
4-1 in Tuesday’s afterpiece.
Shiner opened with a first
frame run and the Texans tied
it in the bottom of the second.
Sembera’s bases-loaded bunt
in the sixth scored what prov-
ed the winning talley. The
Shinerties added another in
the frame on a wild throw, and
dished an insurance run in the
top of the seventh.
Tommy Mensik, 16-year-old,
was nicked for four hits in tak-
ing the loss.
MINISTER —
(Continued from Page 1)
Ohio, after which he .•erved a
year of internship at Salem
Lutheran churah in Detroit,
Mich,, under the Rev. Ralph
Hax.
The Rev. Koenig is married
to the former Miss Janet Irene
Billo of San Antonio. A 1957
graduate of TLC where she re-
ceived a bachelor of science,
secondary education in math,
degree in 1957, she taught
three years in the Columbus,
Ohio, public schools and one
year in the Detroit schools.
He was ordained into the
ministry at Kingsville last
Sunday, the Rev. Mr. Hax
coming down from Detroit to
deliver the sermon.
W. E. SCHULZE GROCERY
PHONE NO. 64 — LA GRANGE
Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Dabbs
of Austin, Mr. and Mrs Edgar
Wolle of Rutersville and Mrs.
Willie Psencik of La Grange
visited the past week in Hous-
ton and Galveston and were
house guests at San Leon at the
Bay Shore home of Mr. and
Mrs. Erwin Bauch where they
enjoyed a fishing trip in the
bay.
Yanks Clinch First
Place In Local LL
The Indians defeated the
Giants, 2-1, in seven innings
in Tuesday night’s Little Lea-
gue opener. Bob Glaiser of the
Tribe gave up three hits in his
six-frame stint, while the
Giants’ Harold Tiedt allowed
four.
Ken Schroeder hurled no
hit ball to lead his Yanks to a
6-0 shutout over the Cards in
the second game. Schroeder
fanned 13. James Sladek, hurl-
ing for the losers, doled out
four bingles.
The Yanks, who have clinch-
ed first place, are two and a
half games over the Indians in
the No. 2 slot.
Monday night’s games were
rained out.
Contests are carded the rest
of this week, with competition
ending Saturday—save for all
star activities.
(The Tuesday paper report
that the Pirates beat the In-
dians last Friday was erron-
eous. Actually, the Indians
won, 3-2, behind Bob Glasier’s
no-hit mound performance.)
ExNavyman Taylor,
Japanese Bride Here
Mr. and Mrs. John R. Taylor
arrived in La Grange Friday,
July 7.
John, elder son of Mr. and
Mrs. Clinton A. Taylor of La
Grange, returned home after
serving nearly two and one
half years as a tour of military
duty for the US Navy in Yo-
kosuka, Japan.
Mr. Taylor returned to the
home of his parents with his
Japanese wife, Tomie, prompt-
ly after being separated from
the regular US Navy recently
in San Francisco, California.
He has been transfered from
active duty, which has lasted
for the past five years, to one
year of inactive Naval service
which completes his six year
service obligation.
Visit Relatives In
Cleveland, Ohio
Mr. and Mrs. Milton Schmidt
and son and Mrs. Lee Roy
Mueller have returned from a
visit with Lee Mueller and
wife in Cleveland, Ohio. Lee,
son of Mrs. Mueller and bro-
ther of Mrs. Schmidt, is vicar
at Puritos Lutheran church.
The group also made a trip
to Ontario, Canada and Niag-
ara Falls and on their return
trip visited Lincoln’s Tomb
and the State Capitol in Illi-
nois, the world’s largest zoo
in St. Louis, the hot houses in
Little Rock, Meramec Caver-
ans in Stanton, Mo., and the
Will Rogers Memorial and
Shrine in Claremore, Okla.
They traveled 4000 miles
through 12 states and had a
wonderful trip.

Demons Down Colts
Again; Score, 11-8
The La Grange Jaycee De-
mons defeated the Brenham
Colts for the third time in a
row, grabbing off an 11-8 de-
cision at Brenham Tuesday
night.
The charges of Big Les
Blume dished two runs in the
very first frame and were ne-
ver behind thereafter.
Ovie Roensch, meanwhile,
was chalking up his seventh
straight triumph over the sea-
son—three of them over the
Colts. Although touched for 13
hits, he was exceedingly stingy
in the clutches, and fanned
three to get out of as many
dangerous situations.
The Demons got 11 base-
knocks off a quartet of Bren-
ham chunkers, their biggest
production occurring in the
fifth when they scored five on
doubles by Neal Hlinsky and!
Charlie Otto, singles by Terry |
Struve and Butch Blume, a
walk and a Colt error.
La Grange previously had
plated one in each of the third
and fourth innings, and added
solo tallies in the sixth and se-
venth.
Hlinsky doubled twice to
pace Demon hitters, while Ot-
to doubled and singled, and
Blume and Struve each had
a brace of singles.
