AH Teicas Endangered
By Screwworm
Screwworms penetrated into
central and west Texas during
May for the first time this year
and are now in an excellent posi-
tion to swoop into any area of
the state where farmers and
ranchers arc not watching and
treating animal wounds.
Screwworm eradication offi-
cials warned that infestations
have been reported as far north
as Coryell County in C.nttal
Texas and as far west as Presidio
County in the Big Bend.
The number of cases has re-
mained relatively low vithoniy
36 cases reported in May as com-
pared to 451 a year ago.
However, with many livestock
producers failing to takeadc-
quate precautions in handling
their animals and weather con-
ditions favorable for screwworm
development prevailing over most
of the state, the insect could
easily spread into any area of
Texas, eradication workers said
Emergency eradication meas-
ures initiated wherever a screw-
worm infestatioti is reported are
credited with keeping the native
fly population down. Large num-
bers of flies, reared and sexually
sterilized in the Mission plant,
are dispersed in areas where in-
festations arc discovered. Sterile
flies mating with fertile female
Hies prevent offspring from being
produced. Campaign workers al-
so sprav livestock in infested
herds and flocks to prevent fur-
ther infestations.
These measures are started only
after a sample collected by a pro-
ducer has been positively ideiti"
fied as screwworms at the Mis-
sion laboratory. Handy collection
kits are available through counts
agricultural agents' offices for
producers to uSgincollectingand
mailing larvae specimens
Mrs. Jimmy Williams
Hurt !n Car Wreck
Mrs. Jimmy Williams of Nac-
ogdoches, and sister-in-law of
Melvin Williams of Alto, is in
Memorial Hospital, Nacogdoches,
in fair condition' after having
been injured when the car she
was driving hit a bid] Friday
night about 9:20 o'clock on State
Highway 21 near the Angelina
River bridge in Cherokee County.
Mrs. Williams suffered facial
cuts and severe I ruises.
The Mr Mrs. WiHiams was
driving is a total loss and offi-
cers said she is fortunate to be
alive.
At the time of the wreck, Mrs.
Williams was returning home
from a visit with her husband,
who is in the Veterans' Hospital
in Waco. The 1961 compact sta-
tion wagon she was driving hit
a bull, which weighed about
1,000 pounds.
The bull went about ten feet
in the air and came down on a
1955 car approaching the Wil-
liams' vehicle, witnesses said.
Riding in the other car were
Paul MeKnight of Hendorson,
the driver, and J. W Norman of
Killeen The two men were
fishing on the river and were
going into Aho for gasoline for
their outboard motor.
Mr. Norman is a relative of
Mr. Williams—a distant cousin
by marriage.
The Williams car went oft' the
mad into a ditch.
A total loss, the Williams ear
was valued at about $1,200.
The McKnight vehicle sustain-
ed about MOO damage—a bent
top, smashed rear window, and a
battered fender. Neither of the
men were injured.

Vacation Bible Schoo!
Will Be Held Next Week
National Farm Safety
Week July 19-25
"Safer American Families
Everywhere" is the theme for
National Fartn Safety Week
President Lyndon B. Johnson in
a special proclamation has desig-
nated the week of July 19-25 as
the period when all persons, es-
pecially those working agricul-
ture. should Unite in a strong and
purposeful effort to reduce rural
accidents.
"Notwithstanding the fact,"
said the President, "that hun-
dreds of thousands of volunteer
leaders and members of rural
organizations actively participate
in community, state, and nation-
al safety programs which have
proved effective in reducing the
number and rate of accidents
among farm residents, accidents
still cause thousands of deaths
and nearly a million disabling in-
juries to farm people each year.
This loss of human and economic
resources causes a significant
adverse impact upon the econo-
my of the nation and must be
viewed as a matter of national
concern.
"I feel that the many public
spirited persons responsible for
past and present farm safety ef-
forts should be commended for
their notable achievements and
that these efforts should be given
renewed public recognition and
support. In addition, I urge that
vigorous new efforts be made to
eradicate, insofar as feasib'e, all
of the reasonably foreseeable
causes of farm and rural acci-
dents. Accomplishment of that
objective shouid be the goal of
National Farm Safety Week,
1964."
For many years, the Texas
Farm and Ranch Safety Council
has played a major role in farm
and home safety efforts and will)
again support activities pianned
for the week in Texas. The Tex-
as Agricultural Extension Serv-
ice through its 4-H and adult
programs will also participate
atid cooperate with other or-
ganizations. agencies, groups and
individuals in calling public at-
tention to the need for more in-
tensive efforts to prevent farm,
home and rural highway acci-
dents.
Apologies To
Mr. Raymond West
The advertisement published
in last weeks' Alto Heratd over
the signature of Raymond Teague

jacksonvltle of "false and slander-
ous" statements or conduct. At

Herald had no knowledge, nor
does It now have, whether such
statrment was true, but true or
untrue, the Heratd now states
that It does not vouch for the
truth of the statement made by
Mr. Teague In Ms ad and, ac-
cordingly. apologizes to Mr. West
for having pubtlshed words ac-
cusing him of "false and slander-
ous" stattments or conduct.
The Herald management has
known Mr. West for many years
and knows him to be a man of
high principles and Integrity.

Recipe For Cooking
Channel Catfish
t <
Here's a tip from the Texas
Parks & Wildlife Department on
cooking your channel catfish.
One of the most fished-for fish
ontheEast Texas sceneisthe
channel cat, and preparing them
for the table is an art in itself.
Try the below for something dif-
ferent—and delicious;
Dress the fish, wash in clear,
cold water. Brush lightly with
oiivc oil, then roll each indivi-
dual fish or fish steak in yellow
corn meal.
Cut sheets of aluminum foil
about three times the size of each
fish, deposit fish in center, roll
up and fold the ends. Place the
packages over the charcoal on
your grill. Allow foil to brown
on one side before turning to
brown the other. The cooking
time wili be about 20 to 25 min-
utes, and when unwrapped the
fish will he fried brown, w:i:h
littl^ or no grease such as usually
results from pan frying.
June Is Dairy Month
You never outgrow your need
for milk. And the people of Tex-
as need to consume more dairy
products for best health condi-
tions, observes Shannon Carpen-
ter, area dairy specialist for the
Service.
Sincc June is Dairy Month,
now is a good time to plan meals
which utilize the abundant sup-
ply of wholesome dairy products,
is ays Carpenter. Too, since the
summer levels, it is also a time
when refreshing, easy-to-serve
meals come into their own and
dairy products fill the biil.
From our earliest colonial
history, the dairy cow has played
a major role in the progress of
our nation, says Carpenter. The
early settlers depended upon the
dairy cow for a iarge portion of
their food and today the nation's
dairy industry supplies an ever-
jncreasing population with an
abundance of wholesome and
healthful dairy products— many
not even dreamed of by the pio-
neers.
And stiil back of the mighty in-
dustry is the dairy cow. a mar-
velous creature, says Carpenter.
She takes the grass and grain
from our fields and makes them
linto nature's most nearly perfect
food—milk. And what's more,
according to the specialist, dairy
products, including milk are a
food bargain in today's super-
markets. Compare their cost from
the standpoint of food nutrients
supplied with other sources of
these same nutrients and you'll
readily see why dairy products
are a best food buy, Carpenter
says.
