Wurstfest originated in 1961 with
he idea of acknowledging the large
Liber of ethnic Germans in the
munity, and to recognize their
• of food preparation and German
icritage, Purdum said.
Wurstfest visitors can swing out
to a polka, sip a foamy German
brew, or munch wurst on a stick
while enjoying fellowship in the
German manner.
Sausage lovers observe Wurstfest
with gusto, as last year they ate 42
tons of sausage in addition to 40,000
ears of corn and 30,000 shishkebabs.
Wurstfesters also can sample
strudels, kartoffel pancakes,
homemade brotchen (little bread)
and other old German recipes.
Diverse entertainment will be
featured during the festival. Myron

lioviding stiffer penalties for
Hoviders of medicare and medicaid
[grams who defraud the elderly
U poor
jThe new law levies felony penal-
jtstoa maximum $25,000 fine and
ve years in prison, replacing the
misdeameanor penalities of up

Bison.
Ilhe bill, passed overwhelmingly
I Congress and sent to the White
Jouse on Oct. 13, is aimed at doe-
lirs and other health care providers,
ilit retains misdemeanor penalties
iir recipients convicted of defraud-
lg the programs.
■ Congress acted at Carter’s urging
to combat the estimated $1 billion a
in waste and fraud in medicare
ml medicaid programs.
A network of watchdog agencies
illed Professional Standards and
[eview Organizations monitor
ercharges by doctors as well as
•audulent operation of store front
ganizations claiming to help the
wr and elderly.
Testimony before Congress re
ded “ping pong” operations in
[ijdiieh patients were shunted from
doctor to another to increase
imbursements coming to the store
ont operations.
Rep. Paul Rogers, D-Fla., chief
sponsor of the House version of the
new law, said during debate that At
torney General Griffin Bell reported
that the FBI is training some 350
agents in auditing medicare and
medicaid records as part of its drive
to crack down on white collar crime.
The new law includes a delay
through Dec. 31, of a Department
of Health, Education and Welfare
order to penalize 22 states a total of
$250 million because of inadequate
review by the states of medicaid pa
tient care in nursing home's. The
penalties were to be imposed Oct.

secutive appearance at Wurstfest
Nov. 6-10. The calls of the Alpine
yodelers and the strains of oompah
music from the polka bands will cap
ture the spirit of European type
entertainment throughout the week
of festivities.
The agenda also includes a
Wurstfest Olympics of canoe races,
auto rally, sailboat regatta and
European style bike race. Other
events are old time melodramas, the
Heritage Exhibit and the “Sausage

“Another reason for Wurstfest
was to stretch the tourist season and
bring people into New Braunfels
during the off-season. Wurstfest has
had a major impact on tourism,
Purdum said.
The MSG Travel Committee is
sponsoring a trip to Wurstfest Nov.
5 for $10 per person. Price includes
bus trip and gate ticket. “We only
have 37 places on the bus this year,
so people interested in going need
to sign up soon,” Melinda Heath,
trip coordinator said.
As the Germans would say,
Wurstfest is “gemuetlichkeit”, fun
and fellowship the German way.

THE DEAN OF BEER’S QUICKIE QUIZ.
Q: The figure “130” represents:
a) The number of mailmen in the U.S.
answering to the name of Louie.
b) Any combination of the numbers 70 and 60.
c) The number of times the word porcupine
can be written on a zucchini.
d) The number of Schlitz taste testers.
e) Both (b) and (d).
A: (e) I can think of no combination of 70
and 60 that does not equal 130. (If you
can, you now know why you are flunking math.)
I also can t think of anything better than
being a Schlitz taste tester. Except, perhaps,
owning Kuwait.
And Schlitz maintains a trained panel of over
130 of them. They’re qualified and requalified
experts who make sure your taste for quality
is never disappointed.
Because Schlitz knows the final test for
flavor is yours alone.
Class dismissed.
THERE'S JUST ONE WORD
FOR BEER.
AND YOU KNOW IT.
