WHAT'S YOUR IDEA OF AMERICAN LITERATURE? A publishing house, Heritage Press, reportedly interested in getting out a set of what American critics might agree on as the ten classics of American literature, started a poll of those whom they thought might rank as high in critical capacity.

Of the first 50 questionnaires mailed out 42 sent in their "ten best" selections the past week, and they have been tabulated. From the 42 replies, the leading ten books by American writers were, in order fnumber of votes for each: 1. Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain (considered as one book). 2. leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman.

4. Essays of Ralph Waldo Emerson. 5. Walden by Henry David Thoreau. The Scarlet letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne.

7, The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin. The Tales of Edgar Allen Foe. 9, Prose Writings of Abraham Lincoln. 10. Tte Education of Henry Adams.

The booklet, entitled "Important Facts About Texas Oil," is now being distributed from its headquarters in the Continental Building in Dallas. Wages and salaries to Texas oil production workers amount to 49 Yi per cent of the net cost of producing the average barrel of oil in Texas, the booklet shows. One-eighth of the net cost dollar goes to-Texas tax-collectors for state and local taxes. Supplies cost about per cent, while depreciation, depletion, overhead and federal taxes make up the remaining 11 per cent.

To this net cost must be added an extra one-eighth of the price of the oil which is paid as royalty to the Texas farmer or rancher who owns the land on which the oil is produced. Texas petroleum workers and Texas farmers together receive $400,000,000 a year in wages and salaries and lease and royalty payments from the Texas petroleum industry, the book shows. Of this huge sum, the workers get $272,000,000 annually and the farmers and land-owners) $128,000,000. The $400,000,000 paid these two groups of Texans is four-fifths of the total value of all crude oil produced Texas. Texas tax collectors gettfrom the petroleum industry an additional $75,000,000 a year.

These huge sums are spent and respent in Tex'as to benefit every Texan, the book points out. "Fortunately for Texas and its people," it states, "the development of this great natural resource has not only revealed the existence of underground supplies of oil and gas to last for many years, but also has created a permanent home industry which directly provides living for one-sixth of the state's population. Directly or indirectly, practically everyone living in Texas today shares in the distribution and redistribution of money created by this one industry. Every Texan has a stake in the future of this business id FATHCR KCMPIB. PH.P.,S.T.I.,#.*.

Bible for Catholics Before 9 A. M. After "Completing Sixth Grade TWY SENIOR HIGH Catholic Church FATHER KEHPER Dielmann Wedding Henry Benedict Dielmann, son of the dean of the Law School of St. Mary's University, was solemnly united in marriage at a Nuptial Mass in our Notre Dame church at 11:30 a. m.

on Wednesday of last week, February 5, to Miss Martha Kathleen Meeters, also of San Antonio. The sanctuary was beautifully decorated by the Daughters of Notre Dame, who were generously helped with the loan of embellishments from the Kuhlmann Greenhouse. St. Cecelia choir furnished the music; and the president of the Children of Mary, Miss Seraphia Castilla, played the organ, except at the Offertory, when Mrs. Louis Romero sang an Ave Maria, accompanied by her sister, Mrs.

Ramon Cortez. Instead of the customary shower bouquet, the bride carried a white prayer book and silver rosary with the beads of her garnet birth-stone, symbolic of fidelity. These were presents that the groom had given her two weeks before at the time of her Catholic baptism in St. Mary's Church, San Antonio. The senior bridesmaid was Miss Maria Liebscher, a granddaughter of the flour-miller Dittlinger of New Braunfels.

Kerrville was not new to her. At present she is a boards- ing student at the Incarnate Word College in Alamo Heights. Immediately after church function the entire briday party were guests at breakfast in the decorated Notre Dame refectory. Delightful as was this high noon the partakers gave an attentive to Miss Liebscher's description of her visit in Konners- ruth, Barvaria, to the amazing Teresa Neumann who has not tasted a drop of liquid or a morsel of food except the daily consecrated Host, since September, 1927. The present pope spent many a Swiss vacation in the valley of the Flue where Blessed Nicholas lived for 20 years with no other sustenance except the Sacred) Eucharist.

He was beatified in 1869, and Pope Pius mi is personally interested in proceeding with the final stage of his canonization. The Alpine hermitage and the incorrupt body of Blessed Nicholas were inspected by our pastor on August 90, Mrs. Harry Klein, in KerrviUe as Irene Bulwer, attended. student of our Notre Dame, had married Effie Sanchez, a cousin of the San Antonio musician, Miss Elsa Shott, and of her sister, Moth- John Berchmans of the Ursuline Academy. Meanwhile one of the brides from the Valley came from Mercedes to be married here to a Kerrville merchant in our Notre Dame church last Sunday.

Yesterday was the 132nd birthday anniversary of the Great Emancipator, Honest Abe, who, according to documentary evidence mentioned in a public address by Cardinal Mnndelein at the Chicago Eucharist Congress, was most likely a Catholic in infancy, and certainly such were his father, step-mother, and his only school teacher, who later became a Trappist monk. My maternal grandfather helped the first Chicago resident priest to erect St. Mary's church near Lake Michigan, and this pioneer pastor, Rev. Iraneus St. Cyr, while in Centralia, Illinois, was often served at Mass by Abe Lincoln as acolyte.

Gaenslen Geneology The architect of all our Notre Dame buildings, as well as of the Incarnate Word College, St. John's Seminary, St. Mary's and St. Gerard's Churches, and many other religious buildings in this archdiocese, Frederick Bowen Gaenslen, died on January 27. His brother, George, was a fellow-student in the first year that old St.

Louis College (now St. Mary's University) opened her doors. After graduating from old; St. Mary's and from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1893 Fred married Neva Mary Fisk, great-niece of Stephen Arnold Douglas, the democratic candidate for president whom Abe Lincoln defeated in 1860. She was also related to General George Brinton McClellan, the democratic- presidential candidate whom Abe defeated in the next campaign of 1864.

Fred Gaenslen's daughter, wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother were all named Mary. He was born in the first post office building of San Antonio, where his grandfather, John Bpwen, volunteered in 1845 both his services and the use of his home. His great aunt, Mother Cornelia, a heroic convert and martyr, was the saintly founder of a teaching order, the Sisters of the Holy Child Jesus. Fred's great grandmother, Mary Elizabeth Murphy, was the aunt of the famous African explorer, Dr. David Livingstone, and she was the daughter of Elizabeth Allen, descendant of the Fort Tjcoaderogt Ethan Allen, who, although on atheist, had a daughter that WM the first New englaoder to become BUB.

Sing a Valentine Since the calendar as corrected by Pope Gregory XIII was not adopted in our country until January 1, 1781, George Washington's birthday, according to the old style, was actually February 11. 1732. Between the natal days of Lincoln and Washington we commemorate St.

Valentine, patron of sweethearts. This week, by odd coincidence, the Notre Dame alumnus, Frank Walker, postmaster general, is speeding the transmission of mail by inaugurating a motorized post office. The initial mail truck left Washington last Sunday en route to Harrisonburg, Virginia. It so happens that on Valentine's Day, three years ago, an employe of the Postal Telegraph Company unwittingly started a fad by singing a love message to the tune of "Bei mir bist du schoenl" Thus arose the novelty of "sing-o- but this year the radio battle waged by Ascap (American Association of Composers, Authors and Publishers) causes the Yiddish tune to be substituted by "Yankee Doodle" or "Mary Had a Little Lamb." Perhaps it is just as well, for some prohibitionists the old lyric was Irish propaganda for "Buy me a beer, Mister Shane!" To keep pace with Western Union, Frank Walker will probably order his letter carriers to sing or whistle "Happy Bithday to You." More Triple-A Checks Received in Kerr Co. One hundred and sixteen farm checks were received during the past week by the Kerr County Agricultural Conservation Association for distribution to those who participated in the government program.

The total money received amounted to $5,329.10. Forty-two checks were received in connection with the range program amounting to $7.871.68, which ran the benefits for Kerr County participants to a total of $13,200.78. yy 1 From Page One) the evening program.

It would be difficult to name some school activity or department where his influence, his artistic and creative talent and his workmanship weer not in evidence.

He was the one who was called when bleachers must be built for the athletic field, when the music department needed stands, the elementary school needed display cases, the art department needed posters or signs or the people in the community needed his talents. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Dorothy Winkey, and one daughter, Susie, of this city; four sisters, Mrs. Velma Wiersteiner, Charleston, West Virginia; Mrs. Gladys Schroeder, Misses Helen and Lola Winkey, all of Springfield; three brothers, Malcolm and Fred of Springfield, and William Winkey of Illinois.

Pallbearers were members of the faculty of the public schools, H. A. Moore, J. E. Swann, Carl Price, T.

F. Daniels, Champ Callihan and Cecil Clendennin. Members of the Masonic fraternity were honorary pall bearers. Out of respect to Mr. Winkey schools of the city were closed during the afternoon, and the members of the faculty, the shop classes and the Antler staff attended in a body.

Single admission tickets will be available at the door for 50 centa per person. Dr. Colton, author and lecturer, has enjoyed special opportunity for world-wide contacts. He has toured in 43 countries in connection with his service on numerous international missions. During the past 20 years he has made 22 visits to European countries especially observing conditions in Soviet Russia, Nazi Germany, and the troubled Danubian Valley.

Two of his books, "The XYZ of Communism," and "Four Patterns of Revolution" have received very favorable comment from critics and have been widely read. Among the scores of reviews written about the latter book, the following by Simeon Strunsky of the editorial staff of The New York Times, is of special interest: "The chapters on Soviet Russia are the best short treatment of the subject that has come under my notice. The condensation has been done with exceptional skill and the attitude impresses me as intelligently objective." Dr. Colton has likewise distinguished himself on the lecture platform for his ability to present in an informing manner factual material from his foreign studies, singularly free of emphasis on social theory or propaganda. In his presentations on Europe he manifests an uncanny ability to sort out and set forth the main issues in the maze of Continental politics.

He demonstrates the happy faculty of making keen observations in the fields of politics and social welfare, and of making them comprehensible and interesting from the public platform, for the Soviet, Fascist, and Nazi systems he has seen come into existence and operate from their beginnings. At the outbreak of the war in September, 1939, he was in Europe and during three months in the summer of 1940 he likewise toured Central Europe. During the past three years Dr. Colton has addressed 159 Institutes of Understanding sponsored by Rotary Clubs.
