'PtfjH Aug. 30, 1961 1 TOr COLUMN ItT TEA personally Yours THINGS TO LOOK FORWARD TO Sales Tax --which goes into effect Friday and will be a little confusing at times. For pop corn is exempt fromtax but if it is syrup or sugar coated it becomes a candy and must be taxed. Another interesting factor is that underwear is wonder if they think these are not necessary? As I said it will be a little confusing until we understand all the angles. CHOOSE YOUR QUEEN OF THE 1961 are a little young but all are lovely.

(Glad I am not a judge) You will want to see everything at the Fair. Edna Glaeser is a fast stepper these days getting all the women's entries in have you entered some handwork, imports, baked goods, art items, antiques or such? You still have time to do get a fair catalogue from the Chamber of Commerce and follow the rules, which are very simple. WANT TO KNOW ABOUT FASHIONS? You will have an opportunity to see a fashion show Thursday evening at the Aumont Rose Room, clothes from Reichman's and Youngland. This show is sponsored by the two local chapters of Beta Sigma Phi sorority. Then on September 12, you may witness another style show sponsored by the Episcopal Ladies.

DID YOU KNOW THAT IT WAS FASHIONABLE TO BE FAT IN THE EARLY 1900's? If a woman was slim In those days she was considered ill. The worst thing you could say to a young girl or woman; "You have lost weight.havent* you?" This was almost an insult. Understand that there was a sort of Elizabeth Arden Salon in San Antonio where many of our local girls went for a week or ten days to be literally spoon fed with cream and such things in order to gain weight. This is almost unbelievable at this I could give you the names of some who went to the on second thought let's just skip that part. AN ADDITION TO THE BILL RAY The cutest little black dog "Lucky" is almost like a member of the family.

According to Nellie and Bill their little "Lucky" can just about talk. SPENDING THE WEEK AT THE and Mrs. Thomas Lovett of Austin, Mrs. A. J.

Eihlers 01 Austin and Mrs. Clara Breustedt are spend-' ing the week fishing and relaxing at Lake McQueeney. INTO HONDURAS-Sherman Nelson and son Jon, have returned from a 10- day business trip in understand Sherman went to investigate some placer mining operations. Also understand that Jon wanted to stay, but he will be entering Schreiner Institute September 13 so had to return. They went by plane as far as they could --then by boat and jeep.

For the greater time they were in the mountains where che climate was heavenly cool and the scenery beautiful. They went into the primitive villages where the Indians live in primitive of the children are naked and no one wears shoes. The wo- men are quite beautiful and very graceful since they nearly always are carrying something on their head giving them a wonderful sense of balance and a graceful walk, (now lets all start carrying things on our head). We also hear from the Nelsons that the forests are beautiful sights with their tall pine trees and other majestic trees. Roads are being built, machinery is being moved in, and Sherman Nelson is planning on going back around the end of September or the beginning of October.

LEAVES FOR INCARNATE WORD HIGH Miss Sara Jane Darilek, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. E.W. Darilek leaves Tuesday, September 5, to enter her freshman year at Incarnate Word High School in San Antonio. She won't be lonesome for while attending Rocky River Camp she met several girls who will also be one is the daughter of Dr.

August Saegert of San Antonio. We also hear that Ann Goetz, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Joe Goetz will enter the Convent at Incarnate Word this year. THE ECLIPSE OF THE MOON FRIDAY interrupted many parties, meetings and so forth.

I was at a dinner party given for Mr. and Mrs. Charles Carter and family of skipped our dessert (to be eaten later) so that we could rush out to watch the moon there I went to my bridge club in the home of Mary Elizabeth Card and our games were interrupted any number of times in order to note the progress of the earth's shadow obscuring the sight of the moon. We were fortunate in having a science teacher (Mrs. Joe Bambuch) and she explained the whole process to don't expect me to repeat it here.

A little after nine o'clock we got down to earth playing bridge. We also had a grand surprise when Mary Elizabeth and Gladys (Mrs. Monroe Engbrock presented each of us with a gift from their recent trip to Canada. How thoughtful of these two girls to think of their bridge club members on their it was Joe who thought of the idea? A FAMILY REUNION AT Mr. and Mrs.

Jack Dwyer, and children, Mrs. Vv m. Dwyer and children and Mr. and Mrs. Charles Dwyer and family are having a wonderful week together at a resort home at Reynosa.

They should have an interesting family gather ing and will return to Seguin Saturday. CALIFORNIA VISITORS LEARN HOW TO H. W. Buckner family of Lemon Grove, Calif, spent OFF SALE ON DAMASK ROSE -STERLING FLATWARE- STARTS FRI. SEPT.

Jewelry the past week with their and Mrs. Joe T. Weaver and son of this city. While here the Buckner family learned how to water ski. CONGRATULATIONS TO MR.

AND MRS. LEROY HALL upon the arrival of a son born August 28, in a Waco Hospital. He weighed six pounds-seven ounces. His mother is the former Patricia Yunker of this city. The maternal grandparents are Mr.

and Mrs. Martin Yunker and the paternal grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. Lawson Hall of Blytheville, Arkansas. ANOTHER for Rev.

E. Hardy Childress. He just recently received a master's degree in Guidance and Counseling from Southwest Texas College in San Marcos. Now the man has a BA degree and two MA degrees. He is thinking of going on with his studies for his Phd degree.

But we are wondering if he will ever bring himself to do this. He would have to go to the University of Texas to get the required courses and since he once attended College he is a rabid Aggie what could be more humiliating than for an Aggie to attend TU? Perhaps there are times when one must swallow one's pride. Our congratulations to Rev. Childress.He got his degree a little late since he was on the USS Boston when the degrees were handed out at the college. Childress did his Navy reserve training duty on the U.SJ5.

Boston, the first guided missile this was an interesting experience. He also served one week in the harbor at Boston. While doing some sightseeing he ran across some disheartening things was the sight of many closed factories in the area. Unions striking again and again eventually caused the factories to close their doors and the men found they had struck themselves out of jobs. May this never happen in the south.

THE HOWELL BRAN- NINGS VISITED FLORIDA- Perhaps we should say they went home, for the Bran- nings are a pioneer family of Forida. While on their trip they visited a church in which a Branning had helped establish some 138 years ago. They also visited an uncle of Howell's in Miami. He is in nis 80's and is still busy at his office every day. He is a judge and remembers when the population of Miami in 1908 was between 1500 and 3000.

The Brannings saw all the things most tourists see in Florida, but they were most impressed with the only authentic copy of Da Vinci's "Last It is on display near the Bok Singing Tower at the Garden of Peace. It is beautifully done in 300,000 pieces of Mosaic tile in 10,000 different colors. In 1930 it was nidden in a basement in Germany to keep the Nazis from getting hold of it. Then during the airlift it was brought 10 America to keep it from falling into the hands of the Russians. It was first displayed at Rockefeller Center and in 1950 was brought to its permanent place in Florida.

In time the virtually indestructible Mosaic will be the only lasting authentic record of one of the world's greatest masterpieces. This is something the writer would also love to see. FORMER SEGUINITES The Brannings also visited with Mrs. Margaret Walker and daughter. Mrs.

Cloe Sanborn in St. Petersburg, Florida. They sent greetings to friends in Seguin. AND STILL ANOTHER COUPLE CHOSE THE ST, ANTHONY HOTEL for their vacation time it was Gene and Ann Brawnerj (Grandmother and Grandfather Beauchamp of Rosenberg came to Seguin to baby sit). And perhaps the Brawners also selected the St.

Anthony because they spent part of their honeymoon there, and one day last week was their wedding anniversary. The Lester Braw- ners and the Ed Brawners went to San Antonio to enjoy the wedding anniversary dinner with them. Sounds like fun but imagine the grandparents and grandchildren had even more fun. THE FIRST THREE MARKERS to be placed on the graves of Texas heroes in Guadalupe County according to Dr. Duncan and Mrs.

Max Weinert will be on the grave of Rev. Gustav Elley, a great uncle of mine); William Chester Baxter and Samuel Milieu. These three men had one thing in they were all devout Methodists. Samuel Milieu fought in the battle of San Jacinto. Rev.

Gustav Elley and W. C. Baxter were in the Texas Navy and they were on the Texas coast preventing the landing of of any supplies for Santa Anna's army. These men enlisted in the navy before June 1, 1836. Milieu and Rev.

Elley went before the Texas church conference in 1841 and pleaded that Seguin (which was then only a few years old) be included in the circuit riders' route. Seguin was included and Rev. Gustav Elley was one of the circuit riders of that time. Milieu and Baxter are buried at the Riverside Cemetery and Elley is buried at the Blumberg Cemetery near McQueeney. These Texas markers have to be issued before any Confederate markers will be placed on the graves.

AND HER PLATE GOES UP IN Virginia Caddell and Geneva LittleJohn were having lunch at Joe's Cafe and Virginia decided to smoke a cigarette after her meal. After lighting her cigarette, she threw the match in her plate in which she had discarded her I say more? Ice tea was soon flowing all over the place in trying to extinguish the Diaze oefore it got out of hand. It seemed quite, hilarious to the diners in the immediate area. (Maybe next time Virginia will be certain that her match is out before throwing it away.)
