Memorial Day thoughts recall Civil War to World War II veterans and honor their sacrifices. The American Legion Post plans services this Sunday at Cherokee, San Saba, Richland Springs and Bowser cemeteries as May 30 official date nears.
A Memorial Day poem by Hugh Robert Orr reflects on the living memory of the departed. It speaks of those not lost who remain in hearts and in the light of sun stars and God. The text promotes using News office legal blanks and newspaper advertising as a strong selling force.
Newcomers comment on J T Kelly’s fine handwriting and diploma signing. Grandma Johnson recalls early Salt Branch days since 1873 and the San Saba News inception. Frank Paxton cherishes a leather bound memoirs volume from his Confederate army father. A Texas poll notes 47.2 percent of state students pay college expenses and 34 percent of working students during college.
T. R. Low sold 887 head of ewes and lambs to Fred Wilcox of Wild Horse Colorado. The stock was shipped last Friday in four double-deck trucks after inspection and scabies certificates. The road time was 26 hours with truck loads of 200, 200, 247 and 190 ewes and lambs. Dan Westbrook Llano state livestock inspector reports the sale. S. H. Terry advertised Wonder berries at 25 cents a gallon east of town.
News and the first day sold over 75 gallons. San Saba News ads sure get results, Mr. Terry said.
Ellis D Cockrell writes from the 46th Legislature on tax options to finance Social Security and plans to adjourn in about two weeks.

The writer reflects on why Fort Worth embodies Texas spirit through cattle and oil, highlighting the Stockyards, Fat Stock Show, Casa Manana, and Amon Carter, with notes on aviation history and high regard for local landmarks amid digressions on Mexico and global venues. The piece weaves Fort Worth pride with travel anecdotes and cultural icons, ending with vivid impressions of Puebla’s cathedral and hidden convents as counterpoints to Texas’s cowtown image.
A reflective piece on Puebla describing its ornate chapel, tiled streets, and the marimba sounds alongside a local tourist scene at Hotel Arrante. It is followed by a set of boating safety rules and a community notes column detailing visiting relatives, homework and school matters, road widening impacts, car mishaps, and upcoming announcements from The San Saba News office.
The rules require boats to display sufficient lights between sunset and sunrise to show their position for at least 1000 feet in favorable weather. Motor and gas boats must show a red light on the port side and a green light on the starboard side visible from directly ahead to two points abaft.
