getting over a vory narrow escape
from the grim reaper. For several
days Jean, whose appendix had
burnt, was unconscious at Scott &
White. When he came to, he
thought he had been in a hurry to
Kot to a big fun and the shindig
was just over. It wasn't quite over
with Ji'.ts, however, lie is now on
the mend. They told him that 30
minutes made the difference.

By Jim Sparks
AUSTiN— Slot machines in
Texas have dropped from y ,655
to 127 in the past year, and At-
torney General Price Daniel pre-
dicted this week that the 127 slots
will be eliminated before the
state's new anti-slot machine 'aw
becomes effective on September 7.

machines and gaming devices, led

should be followed hy other states.
Daniel reported that Texas had
dried slot machines and open race

forms of gambling branded by the
Kefauver Committc as the back
bone of organized crime.

More than 00,000 farms and

service, according to an announce-
ment yesterday by W. E. Dinkins
of Gulf States Utilities Company.
The number of farms and ranches
electrified constitute 05 per cent
of all farms and ranches in the
area according to Mr. Dinkins.
This week is bting observed as

o| inore than a quarter of a cen-
tury of progress in the field of
farm electrification
"As we join other business-man-
aged electric companies in observ-
ing the week of August 20 as
National Farm Electrification
Week, it is interesting to review
the progress of Gulf States in th
field of rural electrification," Mr
Dinkins said.
'In 1025, when Gulf .States was
organized, rural communities in
the area now served either ha I

"At about I his same time elet

to rice farmers of Southwest
Louisiana for irrigation. Many in-
dividual farmers and canal com-
panies replaced inefficient pump-

realize increased profits through
the use of electricity for controlled

Health Officer
Says Children
Need Physicals
Advises That All Youths
lie Taken lo I'hysician
Kefore Entering School
AUSTIN— "Children are not
really ready to enter sehool until
they have had a complete physical
examination," Dr. Geo.. W, Cox,
S'ate Health Officer reminds par-
ents. "All boys and girls enrolling
in the kindergarden or first grade
lasses of Texas schools should be
aken to their ;.i,\-icians, or to
a public health clmic. fot an ini-
diate physical c! • 1.-up if they
have not had suet at. examination
in recent months.
"It is important to act as prompt
I. as possible. This is recommen-
ded in order to allnv time for
medical treatment oi corrections
that may be necessary before
cliools opens. No youngster
hould be permitted to begin a
-chool career with les.s than th"
best possible physical equipment.
"As most parents know, vacci-
nation against smallpox is nec-
essary. Those who received this
immunization in infancy should be
vaccinated again in order to ns-
sur« a high degree of immunity
and those who have never received
this protection sttould be vaccinat-
ed without delay.
"Diphtheria immunization is atho
an important safeguard for all
boys and girls about to enter
school. Those who have never been
immunized against this disease
should receive toxoid shots now.
Children who were inoculated u-
gainst diphtheria when they ware
babies should now have a 'booster
nose' in order to maintain their
immunity at a sufficiently high
level.
"Other immunizations that the
individual physician may recom-
mend are nl- desirable as furth-
er health protection. Whooping
cough, typhoid fever and tetanus
arc among the diseases against
which the doetoi may advise saf"-
guards."

that the lateral road from Caldwell]

This was done over a year ago
with the expectation that the road ]
would be paved after right-of-way
