Tax-Man Sam Sez:
If you are one of those people
who believe that the Internal
Revenue folks collect money on
April 16 and sort of look for
work the rest of the year, you are
wrong—for several reasons. Tax
dollars roll in to the Dallas Dis-
trict office at the rate of $7,000,-
000 a day. July is a light collec-
tion month, but taxpayers in the
northern half of Texas paid
$95,000,000 during July 1963.
Some months the taxos run al-
most $200,000,000. Withholding
taxes, excise taxes, gasoline
taxes, and even the $50 gantbling
stamps, bring more dollars Into
the federal till throughout the
year than the terrible deadline
effort taxpayers make on April

Alto scored first in the second

Texas Leads Other
States !n Health Care
^or Aged Citizens
I ; ,
With the advent of "Texas 65,"
Texas has further enhanced its
position as a leader in providing
adequate health care coverage for
all aged citizens.
Passed without opposition by
the 58th Texas Legislature and
heartily backed by the Texas
Medical Association, the "Texas
65" pian is a logical supplement
to Texas' already successful pro-
gram of health care — medical
benefits to Old Age Assistance
recipients and the proposed plan.
Medical Aid for the Aged.
Under the "Texas 65" plan, in-
surance companies doing business
in Texas will make health in-
surance available at reasonable
cost to all Texans 65 years of
age atid over, regardless of past
medical history, through the Tex-
as 63 Health Insurance Associa-
tion. There are 745,000 aged
Texans, according to the 1960
census.
The benefits of this unique pro-
gram will be underwritten and
guaranteed by some 50 insurance
companies licensed to operate in
Texas.
Any Texan over 65 can pur-
chase the pian from his own in-
surance agent, with no health
ouestions asked, during the first
enrollment period October 1-31.
Texas 65" is a significant step
forward in the effort to provide
health care coverage for all se-
nior citizens," said Dr. Robert
Mayo Tenery of Waxnhachic.
President of the Texas Medicat
Association. "This plan should
meet the health needs of the
Texas aged," said the physician,
"if those who would benefit most
will avail themselves of the
plan's advantages."
Governor John Connally has
called "Texas 65" a sound step
forward in this state's continuing
program to care for its own
people.
Texas 65 will supplement, on
a voluntary basis, the medical
phase of the state's Old Age As-
sistance plan, under which the
State Department of Public Wei
fare purchases health insurance
policies for those who qualify for
OAA. The latter plan makes the
use of state funds and federal
funds available through Kerr-
Mills legislation. OAA provides
for the health needs of 30 per
cent (226,000) of the Texas aged.
Forest Fires Numerous
Working On New
Methods of Fighting
Forest fires, the scourge of
timberlands. are worse this year
than for several seasons, says the
11. S. Department of Agriculture.
Some 86.000 fires reported during
the first half of the year is 22.900
more than last year's count, and
these blazes burned almost twice
as much area as was damaged
last year.
Long periods of drouth caused
most of the difficulty with some
states reporting the driest sum-
mers in many years.
Some states banned ail outside
fires. And the danger is not over,
the USDA warns, because the fail
season can he just as dry.
In a continuing effort to control
these fires the Forest Service is
now conducting research with in-
frared equipment for scanning
forest fires from the air, The
scanner can accurately detect and
map forest fires, according to the
USDA. Information of the fire's
perimeter, rate of growth, location
of hot spots, and any fire spots
outside the main fire lines can be
rapidly obtained. All this infor-
mation is essential to the effective
fighting of forest fires.
The Department of Defense is
providing an aircraft and the per-
sonnel to operate it in tests to be
held in Montana and Idaho. Fires
set to burn off slash left from log-
ging operation in the area will be
their target. The Forest Service
has hopes that this method will
prove of benefit during other dry
seasons.
The USDA advises people to be
careful with fire during the next
few months, to prevent a new re-
cord of destruction to our valu-
able timber.
SFA In 27 6
Victory Over
Lamar Tech
The Stephen F. Austin Lumber-
jacks broke a six-year losing
drought by whipping Lamar
Tech's Cardinals, 27-6, at Beau-
mont Saturday night in a non-
conference college football tilt.
The Lumberjacks left the field
at halftime with a 20-0 lead, out-
scored the Cards 7-6 in the third
quarter and played a scoreless tie
in the final period to post their
win against only one loss. Lamar
Tech dropped to 1-2 for the year.
Robert Neff ran seven yards for
the initial SFA touchdown in the
first quarter. The try for extra
point failed.
Neff plunged ong yard in the
second quarter for another TD,
and Jackie Roberson kicked
true to make it 13-0.
Late in the second quarter Si-
mon Martinez went over the cen-
ter one yard to score on a quar-
terback sneak play. Roberson
again kicked the PAT to make it
20-0 for the Lumberjacks.
On the first play from scrim-
mage in the second half, fullback
Billy Burt sprinted 70 yards for
SFA's final touchdown. Roberson
kicked good.
Lamar Tech's lo:ie TD came
late in the third stanza, when
Dan Yezak toted the pigskin two
yards. An attempted pass for
extras failed, leaving the fina!
score 27-6.
Center Horace Johnson of Ty-
ler. played outstanding offensively
for the Lumberjacks. Johnson
starred as a Junior College AU-
American at Tyler JC.
SFA opens Lone Star Confer-
ence action next Saturday
against Southwest Texas in a
game scheduled at Nacogdoches.
