peak enrollment expected be-
tween 1400 and 1425."

WEATHER
The Palacios Medical Foun-
dation has pledged $10,000
toward the training of regis-
tered nurses.
Keith Terrell, Wagner Gen-
eral Hospital Administrator,
conceived and developed the
registered nurse training pro-
gram. The program is a long
range one, designed to ease
the critical and continuous
shortage of registered nurses
at Wagner General Hopsital
and throughout the Matagorda
County Hospital District.
Hilda Maynard, a Palacios
resident, has been selected as
the first enrollee under the
program. Mrs. Maynard, an
outstanding employee of Wag-
ner General Hospital since
April, 1962, has worked in
Physical Therapy and the
Nursing Department as a
Licensed Vocational Nurse.
She has been accepted at the
University of Houston, Vic-
toria Campus, and is enrolled
in the Associate Degree Nurs-
ing program for the Fall term.
The basic concept of As-
sociate Degree Nursing Stu-
dent Loan Program is to
provide financial assistance in
the form of loans which will be
repaid by service as a regis-
tered nurse. For each year
worked as an RN, twenty
HILDA MAYNARD
percent of the loan will be
forgiven. If the nurse works
five years, none of the loan will
be repaid. If the nurse does
not work that length of time
the loan must be repaid in
ratio to the time worked.
Loans will be made to
approved applicants following
a rigid screening process
based upon financial need, a
record of excellent health,
proven aptitude for nursing.
Water meters will be read
each month in the future
following action taken by the
city council at their regular
meeting Monday night, Aug-
ust 7. For the past six months,
the city has been reading the
meters every third month and
averaging the other two
months.
So many complaints were
rCceived’about high water bills
this month after the meters
were read that the council
decided to go back to reading
the meters each month.
Mayor Elliott informed the
council that Lockwood, An-
drews, and Newnam, engin-
eers, for the city, had not
finished working on the sewer
grant for the city. City Attor-
ney Mayfield advised the
mayor to write a letter to the
engineering frim stating that
the City of Palacios wanted
more detail and action taken
on the sewer grant and to mail
it to them certified and regis
tered.
After discussing several
problems at the Palacios Air-
port, Attorney Mayfield ad-
vised that a new lease be
drawn up to cover all respon-
sibilities of all parties concern-
ed. This lease would relieve
any responsibility toward the
city.
Joe Tanner appeared before
the council stating that the
airport needed a new butane
tank as the present tank was
losing liquid every two or three
days. A' motion was approved
to purchase a new-250 gallon
butane tank for $497.50 from
Hurley Rutane Company.
In other action, bills total-
ling $21,726.32 were approved
for payment. Thursday, Aug-
ust 10 at 7 p.m. was set for a
work session on the mobile
home park ordinance and the
first council meeting in Sep-
tember will be held on Tues-
day, September 5, as the
regular meeting day falls on
Labor Day.
Attending the meeting were
Mayor Cliff Elliott, Council-
men Trinidad Constancio III,
Leonard Lamar, Ray Garza
and Johnnie Heard; Attorney
Eli Mayfield; Recorder An-
drea Ellis and visitors Erich
Brenner, Ruby Erekson, Joe
Tanner, Toby Frausto, Mrs.
Charlotte Tucker, Mrs. John
Castner, Mrs. Margaret Law-
son and Mr. and Mrs. Jimmy
Claybourn.

Federal health
control studied
Persons interested in mak-
ing written comments on the
proposed H-GAC Health Sys-
tems Plan will have until
Monday, August 21, at 10:00
a.m. to do so. The Agency had
originally announced a dead-
line of August 8 to receive
comments on the plan.
The Health Systems Plan is
an assessment of health care
needs in the 13-county Hous-
ton-Galveston area. The pro-
posed plan addresses four
basic issues. They are the lack
of uniformly effective methods
of delivering health care, the
maldistribution of health facili-
ties and manpower, the quality
and continuity of health care
and the increasing cost of
health care.
Included in the plan are
goals for the improvement of
the health care system and
recommended actions and re-
source requirements for a-
chieving these goals. The plan
was developed by volunteer
subcommittees of the' Area
Health Commission, the 72-
member governing body of the
Health Systems Agency, com-
prised of consumers and pro-
viders of health care from
throughout the region. These
committees included Area
Health Commission members
and others from the region
with special interest or know-
ledge.
On July 26. the Area Health
Commission approved the
draft Health Systems Plan for
submission to the public. Over
100 copies of the draft were
mailed to area wide organiza-
tions and individuals for their
review and comments.
Written testimony may be
submitted in person or by mail
to the Health Systems Agency
office at 3701 W. Alabama.
P.O. Box 22777, Houston
77027.
Copies of the draft Health
Systems Plan will also be
available for review at the Bay
City Library, Bay City, Texas.
