Birthday Celebration
A large number of relatives and
friends gathered it the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Martin' Kocurek to help
celebrate their daughter’s (Miss
Roaie) birthday anniversary. Many
different kinds of games were, played
by the youngsters, while the old
folks enjoyed conversation; a deli-
cious lunch was served to the follow-
ing: Mr. and Mrs. Herman Plagens
and sons, Mr. and Mrs. John Kocurek
and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Arno
Arndt, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Piwetz
and family; Missei Elizabeth and El-
sie Hartfield, Evelyn Piwetz, Fannie

Hertha Kirschke; Martin Kocurek,
Jr., of Houston, Perry Wunderlich,

and Johnnie Krenek, Hugo, Fred und

The weather we are having at the
present time is indeed puzzling. A
hail storm at this time of the season
is a pleasant event compared to name
occurring a month or two later, when
aU plants are in full growth.
I recall the time a few weeks ago
when the editor of the Journal in-
formed the public to keep themselves
well supplied wjth firewood. Well,
folks, we surely need the wood now,
and I must say that the editor is not
a bad prophet after all.
Cbm planting in this section is the
order of the day, but the worst part
is that its too wet to even mention
thin.
Martin Kocurek of Houston ar-
rived Saturday noon for an extended
visit with homefolk-s and friends.
Nick Kulhanek left Saturday for
Elgin, his future home. He will re-
side with Mr. and Mrs. Joe Dusek.

ANOTHER FIEND’S WORK
While fnemory of man still lingers,
and the barbajr6us crime of one Hick-
man, who killed a school girl in Cali-
fornia, is recalled, California furnish-
es us with another heinous crime, the
killing and mutilating of the body of
Virginia Brooks, of San Diego. The
girl had been missing since Febru-
ary 11, and a wide search instituted;
Tuesday the decapitated body was
found by a sheepherder. Hickman,
whose crime was similar paid the
supreme price; may they find the
fiend who killed this little girl and
give him the same treatment.
