State health department radia-
tion engineers this week began a
survey of dental x-ray equipment
in use by Rio Grande Valley den-
tists. The study is part of a pilot
project designed to identify radi-
ation hazards to dentists and their
office personnel.
The project calls for a team of
radiation specialists from the de-
partment’s division of occpational
health to make a systematic ex-
amination of x-ray machines in
the offices of 44 dentists who
practice in the Rio Grande Valley
district of the Texas Dental Asso-
ciation. Each dentist concerned
asked that his equipment be
studied.
Dr. Kenneth Thurmond, chair-
man of the TDA council on dental
health, said the survey is “a serv-
ice we feel will be encouraging to
dentists and their patients.”
Certificates of radiation safety
will be given for office display
when x-ray machines are found to
bo safe and under proper opera-
tion, survey sponsors said.
Other TDA areas scheduled for
immediate study are the Guada-
lupe valley, San Antonio and
northeast Texas districts.
Diseases in nature transmissible
to humans will come under two
days of intense technical scrutiny
March 17-18 in the auditorium of
the state department of health.
The unique affair will bring to
Austin a batallion of scientific in-
telligence from around the nation
to try to unravel some of the
knotty problems associated with
animal-to-man diseases, said to he
among the most challenging fields
of modern public health investi-
gation.
This is the tenth consecutive
year the highly regarded scientific
event has been held. It is spon-
sored by the department, the Tex-
as Animal Disease Commission,
the University of Texas, Texas A
and M College, and Baylor Uni-
versity school of medicine.
Diet is one of the most impor-
ant aspects of maintaining good
health among aged persons, in the
opinion of Dr. H. E. Smith, chief
of preventive medicine at the
state department of health. In

protein in their diets and many
need to increase their vitamin in-
take—especially vitamin C, abun-
dant in citrus fruits.

Dr. Smith observed that getting
oldsters to eat enough at night is
a major dietary problem. He said
anyone caring for elderly persons
should make sure their charges get
a substantial evening meal.
Dr. Smith’s comments were
made amid growing state health
dpeartment interest in the prob-
lem of elderly citizens. (A week-

At present, any World War I,
II or Korean conflict veteran if
he is single and drawing a pen-
sion receives $66.15 a month un-
less he is 65 years of age or old-
er, or has been on the pension
rolls 10 years, in which event he
draws $78.75. Those who become
blind or so helpless as to require
the regular aid and attendance of
another person, receive $135.45
per month.
The new system is planned to
relate the amount of pension paid
to the need of the pensioner. Thus
a veteran without dependents may
receive a pension of $85 a month
if his annual income is not more
than $600; $70 a month if his
income .is above $600 but not
more than $1,200; and $40 a
month—if his income is more than
$1,200 but not more than $1,800.
If his annual income is more than
$1,800 he receives nothing.
A veteran with dependents at
present receives the same amount
of pension the single veteran re-
ceives. His only advantage is
that he may continue to draw the
pension if he has an annual in-
come as high as $2,700 whereas
the single veteran cannot draw a
pension if his annual income ex-
ceeds $1,400.
Under the new system a veteran
with one dependent may receive
$90 a month if his annual income
is not more than $1,000; $75 a
month if his annual income is
more than $2,000 but less than
$3,000. If his annual income is
more than $3,000 he receives
nothing.
A veteran with two dependents
may receive monthly pension pay-
ments of $95, $75 and $45 in the
same three income ranges noted
above. A veteran with three or
more dependents may receive
monthly payments of $100, $75
and $45 in those income ranges.
Under the law all pensions will
be increased $70 a month for vet-
erans who require regular aid ami
attendance.
The VA estimates that approx-
imately 200,000 widows and chil-
dren, survivors of veterans who
died after serving in World War
II and the Korean conflict will
become eligible for pensions after
July 1, 1960, when the new sys-
tem goes into effect.
They receive pensions under
the present law only if they can
show that the veteran had a serv-
ice-connected disability when he
died.
The widows and children of de-
ceased World War I veterans do
not have to prove any service-
connected disability to obtain a
pension.
After next July 1, survivors of
World War II and Korean conflict
veterans like survivors of World
War I veterans will have to show
only that the veteran had 90 days
of wartime service (or a disabil
ity discharge), was not dishonor-
ably discharged and that their an-
nual income is within the limits
prescribed by law to indicate the
need for a pension.
Under the new system, a child-
less widow will receive $60 a
month if her income is not more
than $600 a year; $45 a month if
her annual income is more than
$600 but not more than $1,200;
and $25 a month if her annual
income exceeds $1,200 but is not
more than $1,800. Those with an
income exceeding $1,800 are not
eligible for pension,
A widow with one child will re-
ceive $75, $60 or $40 within in-
come limitations. If she has more
than one minor child, she will re-
ceive an extra $15 a month for
each additional child. The income
limitation excluding any pension
is $3,000 a year.
Under the new system, orphans
will be eligible for pension if their
outside income is not more than
$1,800 a year, not counting their
own earnings. Payments will
amount to $35 a month for one
orphan plus $15 more for each
additional child, divided equally.
If a veteran or a widow receiv-
ing a pension begins to receive ad-
ditional income or acquire addi-
tional property, it must be report-
ed to the VA promptly. A change
in the number of dependents also
must be reported promptly to the
VA.
The new system, based on need,
•dso redu es the pension paid to
veterans while they are hospital-
ized or maintained by VA, al-
though allowance is made for de-
pendents.

Farm life in
nuclear bombs
days answered
If nuclear bombs struck several
of Texas’ larger cities, would peo-
ple still be safe “down on the
farm?”
Answers to this and many other
questions will be studied this year
bj Texas farm and ranch families
in special programs on the rural
resident’s key role in the nation’s
civil defense.
The CD study will be incorpor-
ated into the extension service
work conducted by the hundreds
of county agents over the state.
Need for farm and ranch de-
fense is based on recognition that
the answer to the above question
is “no.” Research on fallout
shows that if the country were
hit by nuclear bombs, radioactive
fallout could drift in death-dealing
quantities to even the most iso-
lated areas.
Since all-out war would destroy,
contaminate or cut off many nor-
mal food supplies, protection of
llie means of producing more
food would he of crucial import-
ance to the nation’s recovery.
Programs, to be conducted by
the county agents in cooperation
with county civil defense officials,
will give latest information on
what the rural resident can do to
protect himself, his livestock and
his crops.
The state division of defense
and disaster relief and the Texas
A&M college extension service
are joint sponsors of the effort.
Defense kits sent
Nearly 500 rural civil defense
kits have been mailed to the coun-
ty agents, according to state de-
fense coordinator James H. Gar-
Boating enthusiasts
meant Red Cross to
adjusting to serve
Since the beginning of Red
Cross safety services in 1910, 50
years ago, the types of training
and numbers of persons parties
pating has changed constantly.
According to Frederic S. Laise of
St. Louis, Mo., last year 133,820
residents of Texas received some
kind of Red Cross safety instruc-
tion, including proper use of boats
and motors, as well as the more
familiar training in first aid,
swimming, and livesaving tech-
niques. Laise is manager, Mid-
western area office, American
Red Cross.
Because of the accident poten-
tial attending the greatly increas-
ed popularity of recreational
boating in nearly all areas of the
country, Laise explained, the ad-
ditional courses of particular value
to boating enthusiasts were added
by Red Cross to the already prov-
en safety courses which have
been taught wdth timely changes
for many years.
In Texas there are over 7,000
volunteer instructors authorized
to conduct various courses. As a
result of their efforts and the ma-
terials and methods Red Cross has
been able to develop and provide,
127 persons received certificates
for completing courses in boating;
369 earned canoeing certificates;
42 persons received certificates
for completing courses in sailing;
73,462 were formally trained in
swimming; 10,271 were certificat-
ed as lifesavers; and 49,549 were
trained in first aid. In addition,
Laise estimated, 117,480 got some
kind of informal first aid or wa-
ter instruction through demonstra-
tions, film showings, and educa-
tional talks.
Metropolitan To Visit Dallas
Across the nation a number of
lives were reported saved as a
result of this information. For
example, lives of children partic-
ularly were reported saved in a
number of instances when per-
sons administered the new method
of mouth-to-mouth resuscitation
after reading about it or having
seen it demonstrated.
Such services as these all de-
pend upon voluntary contributions
of funds, Laise says, and it is vi-
tal that the I960 campaign goal
be met in order that such services
may continue for safety’s sake
in Texas.
Heading up the Red Cross or-
ganization jn Texas for the 1960
campaign are national vice chair-
men James H. Bund of Dallas and
Ray S. Eriandson of San Antonio.
more urbanized in the last two
decades, we have an estimated
2 Vi million people living in un-
incorporated areas. In the event
of nuclear attack, they could w’ell
become just about the most impor-
tant people in Texas.
Kits include information on
such down-to-earth questions as
these:
1. How should the family be
protected?
2. How can the cattle be eco-
nomically sheltered?
Could the farmer leave his
own shelter long enough to feed
and milk the cows.
4. Would the well water be
safe?
5. Would feed stored in a silo
be safe?
6. When would the pasturage be
safe for grazing again?
Films, information and discus-
ion materials for four meetings,
plus maps, exhibits and how-to-do-
it bro’chures are included in the
kits.
Garner said county civil de-
fense directors over the state had
been contacted and alerted to
assist county agents in presenting
tlie CD programs to farm and
ranch groups.

Garner, “in extension service di-

Impact of Texas
press acts to aid
traffic safety
Texas traffic deaths continued
to show a sharp reduction
through the tenth week of 1960
as compared with the same per-
iod of 1959, says a statement from
the office of Governor Price Dan-
iel.
Gov. Daniel said the weekly re-
port from the statistical services
of the Department of Public Safe-
ty through March 11 showed 111
fewer deaths during the first ten
weeks of 1960 as compared With
the first ten weeks of 1959.
Traffic took 271 lives thus far
in 1960, as compared with 392
through the same date last year,
the governor stated. This was a
reduction of 28 percent.
Daniel said the DPS believes
that, barring unforeseen circum-
stances, a reduction in I960 traf-
fic deaths over the 1959 toll of
p,467 seems likely, although it is
still too early in the year to claim
that such a trend has been estab-
lished.
“There is no doubt in my
mind,” the governor said, “that
Texans are taking their traffic
safety responsibilities more ser-
iously than ever before. When we
see reports as much improved as
that for January, 1960, we can
certainly feel encouraged. The
January report from DPS showed
35% fewer traffic deaths, 18%
fewer reported traffic injuries,
54% fewer traffic crashes and
50'.! reduction in estimated eco-
nomic losses. At the same time,
the number of miles traveled rose
an estimated 3%.
“It seems clear that some defi-
nite progress is being made, and
I sincerely hope and believe that
Texas drivers have come to a per-
manent realization of the dangers
they create when they fail or re-
fuse to obey the traffic laws de-
signed for their safety.”
The fastest and best method for
growing large fish in the farm
pond is to stock the pond with the
proper kinds of fish and at the
right rates and fertilize. Accord-
ing to Ed Cooper, extension wild-
life specialist, farm ponds in the
Rio Grande valley can be fertilized
from January to June and other
sections of the state from March
until June. Proper fertilization, •
small amounts at intervals during
late winter and spring, will usual-
ly shade-out troublesome under-
water plant growth.
