Ground breaking marks the
realization of a dream of a large
group of citizens who began
working months ago to get a
rest home for this area which
will provide for the needs of it's
senior citizens at home where
their relatives and friends live.
Thirty-five citizens provided
the initial money for the corpor-
ation and approval has been re-
ceived from the Texas Secur-
ities Commission to accept addi-
tional stock holders to bring the
capital to approximately $100-
000. The plan is to raise the en-

rest home is planned. Plans
which have been approved meet

homes. w -

Bartlett residents will be able
to receive the Sabin oral polio
vaccine Type III this Sunday
from 12 noon to 4 p. m. at the
American Legion Home in a
community-wide effort to wipe
out polio. The procedure will be
the same as when Type I and
Type II were administered last
September and October. The
vaccine will be put on a cube of
sugar. It has been proven safe.
All residents children and
adults are urged to take this
vaccine. Children under 21 years
of age must have their parents'
signature.

in three types they may be tak-
en in any order and people may

of polio caused by three entirely
different viruses and each type
