AUSTIN--Col. Homer Garrison,
director of the Texas Department
of Public Safety, announced re-
cently that Monday, June 6, is

"We have several new benefits

Garrison said. "For instance, the
Veterans Should

Documents Handy
Keep family documents such as
birth and marriage certificates
where they can by readily found,
Jack Coker, Manager of the Vet-
erans Administration Regional
Office, Waco, advised veterans
and their dependents.
Coker said documents of this
sort may be needed to suppon
claims for veterans' benefits and
for other purposes.
These include military discharg-

certificates, divorce decrees and
guardianship or child custody
evidence, he said.
Veterans' claims which may
require these documents include
disability or death compensation
or pension and burial benefits.

pay during training has been in-
creased from $375 to $400 per
month, and upon graduation this
is increased (effective September
1, 1966) to either $468 or $484,
depending upon the branch of
service to which the patrolman
is assigned.
"Also, for those who prefer one
branch of the uniformed service
over another, we can let the men
select their service (Highway
Patrol, Driver Licensing, License
& Weight, and Motor Vehicle
Inspection) and they can also
choose the geographical area
of the state where they will be
assigned, consistent with open-
ings. "
To qualify for employment in
the uniformed services of the DPS,
a man must be between the ages
of 21 and 35, not less than 5 feet
8 inches tall, have a high school
education or its equivalent, be in
sound physical condition with
good vision and must be a citizen
of the United States and a resi-
dent of Texas for at least one
year immediately prior to the
date of application.
"Among the many benefits that
patrolmen injoy, " Garrison point-
ed out, "are two weeks annual va-
cation, all holidays provided for
by the Legislature, modern liber-

al retirement systems and group
hospitalization and life insur-
ance plans, traveling expenses
and longevity pay, and they are
furnished with uniforms and all
the necessary equipment to per-
form their duties."
Those men who are accepted
for the position of patrolmen go
through an intensive training
program at the DPS Law Enforce-
ment Academy in Austin for a
period of 16 weeks. Upon gradu-
ation they are assigned to duty
stations throughout the State.

plans to open the Tribal Museum,
Indian Arts & Crafts Shop and
Cho-Yeh-Chuba (Big Pine) Na-

the popular demand of visitors.
Walt Broemer, Superintendent,
states that "normally tourist act-
ivities are open only on Satur-
days and Sundays until Summer,
but many people wish to visit
during the weekdays in May, so
the Tribal Council will now
welcome guests each day of the
week. "
Matthew Bullock, Chairman of

Committee said, "Presently we
offer Tribal Dance Programs,
Big Thicket Tour Rides, Indian
Wash Spring Wagon Rides, Arch-
ery and Dining Room Facilities

President Johnson has proclaim-
ed May, 1966, as Senior Citizens
Month with a theme of "A New
Day for the Older American. " A
great step toward this "new day"
will start in July of this year with
the new medicare program for
almost all persons over 65. For
the first time over 19 million
persons over 65 can be relieved
of the heavy burden of medical
expenses during the years when
they can least afford them.
Medicare provides two types of
health insurance - hospital insur-
ance to help pay the cost of
hospital bills, care in an extended
ing Grounds seven days a week. "
Many people have reported after
visiting the Reservation that you
couldn't ask for a better day of
family fun in a relaxed atmos-
phere of yesteryears,
The Alabama-Coushatta Indian
Reservation is located 17 miles
East of Livingston on US 190.

cost of $3 per month helps pay
the cost of doctors' bills.
Everyone over 65, regardless of
whether they are social security
