Texans vote in the first postwar Democratic primary with Gillespie County urged to turnout. Voters face races for State Senator and District Attorney amid a crowded ballot and calls to exercise the franchise to support local interests and public spirited funding that made the election possible.
Fredericksburg and Gillespie County host the Texas Angora Goat Raisers Association annual show and sale at Fair Park. The event highlights Angora mohair's growing use in automotive and aircraft industries, furniture, and decor, boosting local ranchers and attracting future manufacturing growth.
The Standard notes ongoing House and Senate efforts to approve a long range wool program before adjournment. Amid hearings with 70 witnesses and a Truman proposal, the plan would create a loan or purchase system at comparable prices, costing about 30 million dollars yearly from import duties.
Residents reported a smoke plume Friday afternoon in the northern Fredericksburg area. The Shell Pipeline Company burned waste oil near Enchanted Rock to remove a fire hazard, with flames carefully guarded and controlled.
A careful farmer should lock the mill gear before climbing the tower and use a safety belt when repairing or oiling a windmill to prevent accidents.
Flames started from an incinerator destroyed between 3000 and 4000 acres of grass on the Fitzsimmons Land and Cattle Company ranch in eastern Llano County. Volunteer firemen from Llano and nearby towns battled the blaze for hours, brought it under control, with no property or livestock losses reported. The dry grass aided rapid spread along Lakeshore Drive near Buchanan Dam.
