FROM EXTRA GOOD GRAIN FED CALVES
AUSTIN, Tex.—For years a high
chain link fence marked the back
boundary of the Austin State Hos-
pital grounds. Sturdy and forbid-
ding, with in-turned barbed wire
at the top, it was a fence that sug-
gested the plight of the people it
confined. It was a depressing,
prison-like, mile-long fence that
paralleled Lamar, one of Austin’s
busiest boulevards.
Now, each spring, Austinites
make a point of driving out Lamar
to see the mass of climbing red
roses covering the fence. Today
this long stretch of roses is a sym-
bol of the change that has come to
state hospitals during the past 10
years as a result of volunteer serv-
ices.
University engineering students
donated and planted the rose
bushes. Thousands of people over
the state have landscaped the
grounds, redecbrated the dining
halls and reception rooms, built
swimming pools, given parties,
conducted classes, wrapped gifts
and in hundreds of other ways
brought beauty and warmth to
state hospitals and schools.
In its fall report, the State Hos-
pital Volunteer Services Council
shows that volunteers gave 163,904
hours of time to state institutions
during the past year. Figured at
only $1 per hour and adding in con-
tributions of food, clothing, prizes,
furniture, etc., volunteers enriched

life in state institutions by more
than $538,996 during the year. This
does not count considerable sums
collected for all-faith chapels at
several schools and hospitals.
Last year, 36,000 citizens went
into 18 different state hospitals and
schools to do volunteer work.
Impact of these volunteers is
two-fold, says Miss Helen Colburn,
coordinator of volunteer services
for the State Hospital Board.
First, they help to create a pleas-
ant environment which gives pa-
tients a better chance to respond
to medical treatment.
Second, the volunteers learn the
problems of the hospitals and
schools and are an effective force
in educating the community as to
needs and goals.
“State money can’t be spent for
pictures or parties or swimming
pools,” said Miss Colburn. “It has
to go for beds and food. But these
other things are important. Pa-
tients respond to environment, and
they respond to people. And they
know the difference between peo-
ple who are paid and people who
come to help them out of sheer
kindness.”
Right now the volunteers are get-
ting ready for their biggest under-
taking of each year—Christmas. It
means securing, wrapping and tag-
ging about 26,000 gifts to keep up
a three-year record of having gifts
for each patient in the state sys-
tem. It means decorations, trees,
parties and caroling. In some
cases it means setting up shops
where patients can get gifts to send
to their families—often more ar-
dently desired by the patient than
a gift for himself.

• Average Speed Lawful . . .
Average speed of Texas passen-
ger cars on rural roads is 55.9
miles per hour, reports the State
Highway Department.
This is below the legal limit of
60 miles per hour on most stretches
of highway.
Average speed of buses, how-
ever, is 60.7 miles per hour. Trucks
average 51.2 miles per hour. Legal
limit for buses is 55 and for trucks
is 45.
Statewide speed survey is taken
by the Department each year with
concealed radar devices. Depart-
ment found 'that 19.3 per cent of
passenger cars were exceeding 60,
a 2.6 per cent decrease from last
year.
