The first graders received
some nice cards with the Pledge
of Allegiance to the Flag. Mrs.
Paul Stock and Mrs. E. Balusek
brought the cards to ids from
the V.F.W. Thank you!
During Vocation Week we
made pretty posters. The high
school students invited, us to
their Vocation Program. We
enjoyed it from the beginning
to the end. We also enjoyed the
program sponsored by the In-
termediate Grades, especially
the little Sister (Virginia On-
drusek) and the Cardinal (Bob-
by Boehm).
Saint Joseph’s Day was an
exciting day for us: our Forty
Hours opened with a procession
in which many of us were flow-
ergirls, later in the day we had
the pleasure of entertaining our
Archdiocesan Supervisors. Sis-
ter Marietta remained with us
and looked through our book-
lets, examined our different
projects, then she observed our
group reading. We hope that
she was pleased.
Our room looks like spring:
we made birds and butterflies
from styrafoam and screen.
Mrs. James Elmore helped us,
by cutting out the parts of the
body. God bless you for your
interest in our behalf.
We have beautiful flowers on
our altars: Barbara Ann Hart-
mann 'brought carnations, Bob-
by Elmore brought calandulas,
roses, and Bells of Ireland, Ka-
ren Darilek brought Camellias,
snowdrops, and roses from Mrs.
Adolph Richter, and sweet peas
from Mrs. John Kasper. We
thank all of these friends for
sending us such beautiful flow-
ers—they make our room so
cheerful.

COMMENTS FROM
9th TEXAS DISTRICT
Washington, D.C.
March 28, 1957
Dear Neighbors:
My mail from home continues
to show your deep concern over
the tremendous national bud-
get. Some have laid the blame
on the Congress. Some have
critized the Administration. As
a matter of fact, budget cutting,
to be effective, has to be a mu-
tual effort shared by the Ad-
ministration and the Congress.
That is what we had in mind
when we asked the President
for his ideas as to where his
budget ought to be cut.
In the meantime, the Con-
gress has continued to whittle
away at appropriations and at
this writing has cut close to 800
million dollars off these com-
paratively small bills presented
to us. When we get to foreign
aid and the Department of De-
fense, there will be still greater
economies effected.
Congressional determination
to reduce expenses is now be-
ing reflected in some of the
Executive Departments. The
Secretary of Defense comes up
with an order to cut the num-
ber of civilians and military
people working in defense of-
fices in the greater Washington
area by 12 per cent. This-could
achieve a saving of more than
$32,538,000. This is not much
but it is a start, and it is very
promising, provided he starts at
the top level. Other department
heads have been giving at least
a few promises to try to tighten
their belts and eliminate all but
the essential items for their re-
quests for funds.
As I have written you pre-
viously, I know you would not
expect me to vote against one
penny that would endanger our
national security, and I have no
intention of doing so. On the
other hand, it appears that un-
told amounts can be saved by
withholding requests for lux-
uries that would be for top
military brass and civilian ex-
ecutives in the defense es-
tablishment, and at the same
time would not deny comforts
which are justly due our enlist-
ed men who actually perform
tasks of defending our nation.
Before long Congress will
face the question of foreign aid.
As we approach the time, more
and more is being heard from
the investigations which various
committees, operating both in
the Congress and in the Execu-
tive Branches, have made pos-
sible. Many different sug-
gestions have come to light. One
seems' to be worthy of special
consideration. It would encour-
age loans to foreign nations by
private investors. Such a course
would return international fin-
ancing to its status before
World War II. It would relieve
the taxpayers of any further
grants to foreign nations by our
government. Even so, we ex-
pect to be urged to continue, to
the extent of four or five bil-
lions, our annual investment ’in
foreign aid. The closer we come
to a vote on the subject, the
more convinced I am that I
should not vote for any spend-
ing overseas except that which
is directly a part of our nation-
al security.
Reports from Bermuda have
been encouraging in many re-
spects. Here in Washington we
have been very concerned over
the President’s persistent cough
and his ability to shake off
whatever kind of a cold bug it
was that bit him on Inaugura-
tion Day./If I had something of
the kind and couldn’t get rid of
it, I would spend a week in the
home country where the Texas
sunshine would cure up the
lingering difficulties. The Pres-
ident had to go to Bermuda
anyway to meet British Prime
Minister Harold MacMillan.
The leisurely ocean voyage and
the mild sunshine of the West
Indies are said to have benefit-
ed him tremendously and we
look forward to his return with
a feeling of thankfulness.
We feel better, too, about the
patching up of the differences
between the two great English-
speaking free nations. Certain-
ly we two, of all people, have
no business being at each oth-
er’s throats.
There has been some mighty
good news from the District in
recent days. We hear of the pur-
chase of a large tract of land in
the Texas City area to be used
for a cement plant. In Missouri
City there is to be a million dol-
lar foundry, which is to be an
addition to the W.K.M. plant of
A.C.F. Industries. Over in Need-
ville, enterprising citizens have
financed and will shortly con-
struct a grain elevator and dry-'
er which will serve the sur-
rounding area. In Yoakum the
Tex-Tan Factory has announced
a merger with General Ameri-
can Industries of New England.
There are other plans and
other announcements to come,
each one of which will tell of
new enterprises, new employ-
ment, and new markets for our
