o
May-Day to be
Child Health Day
Austin, Texas—May first has been
proclaimed May Day Child Health
Day nationally by President Frank-
lin D. Roosevelt, and State-wide by
Governor W. Lee O'Daniel. The
State Department of Health has
been designated as the official
agency to head the activities in
Texas.
Dr. Geo. W. Cox, State Health
Officer, has stated that May Day
is in reality an entire week's acti-
vity centered on the health and
welfare of children. Every group
in Texas interested in children will
hold apecial meetings, clinics, and
other projects to promote public
consciousness of the development
needs of childhood, so that every-
one will realize that, "In the Health
Time For Spring Cleaning
Let us Wash, Grease and Vacuum Clean Your Car
Free your car of carbon with Gulf No-Nox Ethyl Gaso-
line and Gulfpride Motor Oil.
Crump Service Station
"Where Service Counts"
of Its Children lies the Future of
Texas."
Activities will vary in each com-
munity according to the existing
problems and facilities. Many towns
make this their chief activity of
the year and schools, churches,
luncheon clubs and women's clubs
will have special programs. Mer-
chants will use special window dis-
plays of children's clothes, toys
and health aids, and carry special
newspaper advertising.
This is a splendid time for par-
ents to have their babies and
children immunized against diph-
theria, smallpox and typhoid fever.
A thorough physical check-up is in
order and should be followed by
having corrections made of any
physical defects. May Day gives
you an opportunity to see that your
child has a proper start along life's
path and that proper safeguards
are furnished him.
Notes From The
County Agent
By A. S. ELLIOTT
Rural Electrification
The signing of membership agree-
ments and securing of easements for
right-of-way is progressing satisfac-
torily in the Sunset, Fruitland, Rock
Hill, Leona, Taylor, Stoneburg, and
Lone Star communities. Since the
field work began, numerous ques-
tions are asked every day in regard
to the electric service.
Every signer pays a $5 member-
ship fee which makes him a mem-
ber of the cooperative association
and entitles him to have a voice in
the affairs of the association through
the directors. The membership in
the association as a cooperative are
granted a loan, repayable in 20 years,
to build the line, install meters and
transformers, and put the lines in
operation. Then, each member agrees
to purchase from the association the
electricity used on the premises for
one year and pays a minimum
monthly bill of about $2.50. This
monthly bill pays for 25 kilowatts of
electricity, and also the proportion-
ate share of each member on the
repayment of the loan and the up-
keep of the lines. There is no othei
monthly charge over and above th«
minimum monthly bill, unless the
consumer uses more than 25 kilo-
watts of electricity. Each member
will pay the minimum bill even
though ho may not use as much as
25 kilowatts, and the consumer using
more than 25 kilowatts per month
will receive a discount of about 50%
for each additional 25 kilowatts
used. In case a customer for any
reason after one year Vlshes to dis-
continue electricity he may do so by
giving a 30 day written notice, and
the other customers on the same
line with him will not have to as-
sume the full cost of his bill, but
the loss will be absorbed over the
entire project in the two counties.
Each member will be responsible for
wiring his premises, and this may
either be done himself or by an elec-
trician. In either case, an inspection
fee of $1.50 will be collected before
the current is turned on after the
lines are built. After the allotment
is made, the original $5 membership
fee will be either refunded to the
member or be transferred to serve
as a meter deposit. If it is refunded,
a meter deposit will be required.
Members of the co-operative as indi.
viduals are not responsible for the
debt or liabilities of the co-opera-
tive, and under the law, his personal
property is exempt from execution
for any such debts or liabilities.
The purpose of the rural electrifi-
cation program is to extend elec-
tricity to rural homes, and is not
intended to go into competition with
existing power companies that have
been interested in serving rural
areas. The program is handled
through a co-operative organization
that is chartered under the State
laws, will be managed by competent
men, and controlled by the direc-
tors elected from the membership of
the association. Farmers and land-
owners need have no fear of the
soundness of the program, and
should welcome these projects into
their communities.
Changes in Cotton Ruling
Under an interpretation received
from the State office, it is assumed
that it is no longer necessary fcr a
farmer to plant 80% of his cotton
allotment this year in order to re-
ceive full cotton payment under the
1939 Agricultural Conservation Pro-
gram. This interpretation implies
that a farmer will receive full pay-
ment even though he does not plant
any cotton this year. If he planted
cotton in 1939, he will be eligible to
receive the subsidy payment for 1939,
even though no cotton Is planted
this year. The acreage In the cotton

Help to Stamp
Out Typhoid
Austin, Texas—"The control of
typhoid fever In the United States
represents an outstanding achieve-
ment in preventive medicine. In
1900 the national death rate from
this disease was 31.3 per 100,000
population. Today the rate is 2.1
nationally, but 6.5 in Texas. This
marked decrease in typhoid's kill-
ing power is based on knowledge
of its cause, how it is spread, and
the application of scientific con-
trol measures," states Dr. Geo. W.
Cox, State Health Officer.
Today no other disease is more
vulnerable to scientific attack than
typhoid. Indeed, it is no exaggera-
tion to say that, from a public
health viewpoint, there should be
no typhoid fever.
"Typhoid fever is caused by a
germ. The organisms are found
only in the excreta of persons suf-
fering from it, or in those of car-
riers, the latter being persons who
harbor the germ but are not ill.
If it were possible to prevent peo-
ple from becoming infected with
germs coming from these sources,
typhoid would cease to be a pro-
blem.
"In cities and towns, thanks to
safe water and milk supplies, ade-

quate sewage facilities, and en-
vironmental sanitation, typhoid has
been almost eliminated. Unfortu-
nately, sanitary and environmental
protection on a community basis
cannot be. offered to those living
in rural areas. While control meth-
ods are the same for both city and
country, in rural districts it is
essential that not only public
health officials but the householder
become personally interested in
them as they are to be effective,"
Dr. Cox warned.
If every rural dweller in Texas
realized his personal obligation in
the anti-typhoid campaign and con-
scientiously took the necessary pre-
cautions, the typhoid rate in Texas
eventually would come close to the
vanishing point. It is an attainable
objective. Personal cooperation in
eliminating typhoid hazards and
wide-spread typhoid immunizations'
are the key.
