The LaSalle Parent-Teacher Association met in special session last Thursday evening. An excellent musical program was presented by Mrs Gwosdz, Mrs. Barta, Dorothy Valek, Bernice Gwosdz and John Gwosdz. Mrs. Leissner gave a report of the Council meeting. During the business meeting, plans were made for a carnival which is to be given at the school on the night of Oct. 16th. A very pleasant social hour was enjoyed, during which sandwiches, cake, pie and coffee were served. Our Parent-Teacher Association has made decided gains this year. Thus far our enrollment and members are more reluctant to adjourn meetings. We are expecting many real accomplishments, this year.

Messrs. Fred and Mac Ward, Russell Brinkerhoffer and Wm C. Davis, were dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. J. V. Davis Saturday. Mr. Fred Ward and Mr. Brinkerhoff have purchased the Barta gin here at La Salle also the home. Mr. Ward and family will move down soon. They are fine people of which La Salle should be proud. Mr. Ward is a brother of Senator Jee Ward. It is raining at La Salle and it looks very much like our big farmers are going to get lost In the grass. Chopping is now costing 50 cents per hour. What will it cost as a whole if this keep up. During a rain recently lightening struck an outside house on the farm of J. V. Davis. Mr. Davis had one room half full of hay. And there was a Mexican cotton chopper in the house; also a bird dog. The man had come to the house because he was afraid of the wind just a few minutes before the house was struck. Mr. Davis seeing the smoke ran to rescue his dog. But the dense smoke blinded him. However he found the chain, but it must have been wrapped around a cot that the man slept on and in pulling on the hot chain, Mr. Davis seared his hands and was finally forced to let it go by the flames. No better friend hath any man than his dog. The house and other things lost were slight in comparison to his dog. Fred Turner, Sr. came home from Virginia Saturday morning, and we are sorry to report he was rushed to a Victoria hospital at 4:00 o'clock Sunday morning where he was operated on for appendicitis. We trust he will soon be well again.
