A request from radio station
KOUL to broadcast G-P
football games was turned over
to the superintendent for ac-
tion.
A brief discussion on possible
changes in the drug policy of
the school took place with the
board authorizing Supt. W. C.
Andrews to draft a new section
in line with recommendations
of the school’s attorney.
The board authorized the
administration to advertise for
bids for milk and other
cafeteria products for 1971-72.
Supt. Andrews reported to
the board that the district had
received a check in the amount
of $647 for part payment on G-
P’s share for overcharging by
book publishers. The state’s
attorney general brought suit
in the name of all Texas school
districts in the overcharging.
A report was also given
concerning KLRN, the
educational TV station in
Corpus Christi, and how it
might be used in the G-P School
System. Supt. Andrews told the
board that it would probably be
next spring before anything
definite would be available on
the program to be offered by
KLRN. He did tell the board
that tentative costs to par-
ticipating districts would be 75
cents per student as well as the
initial cost of receiving sets
and aerials for receiving.

the vaccine had oeen released
to San Patricio County before
the disease spread to this
area.”
Actually, Dr. Bauer vac-
cinated a number of animals in
the Portland area on July 9
with vaccine that wasn’t
supposed to have been in the
county. Probably if this vac-
cine hadn’t been given to
horses in the Portland area the
deaths would have been as high
as in the Ingleside area where
the vaccine wasn’t officially
released until the following
Tuesday.
Dr. Bauer was of the opinion
the first of this week that
horses that had been vac-
cinated early, and could make
it by mid-week, would more
than likely pull through. He
still is treating animals that
are sick and some of these will
in all likelihood die.
Probably the hardest hit
single individual in Portland
has been Dr Luther Campbell
who has lost five of his
American Ponies. Dr. Camp-
bell and his wife became in-
terested several years ago in
American Ponies and since
that time have accumulated
and bred quite a few winners.
Dr. Campbell’s place is about
four miles west of Portland on
the bay. He discovered two sick
horses last Tuesday and
despite all the treatment
possible he lost five of his prize
animals valued at over $4,500
by the weekend.
Horse owners throughout
this area are vexed, to say the
least, over the handling of the
vaccine supply by the federal
officials in charge of the
program. Veterinarians and
horse owners alike all seem to
believe that if the vaccine had
been released several weeks
earlier that the disease would
never have spread to this area.
The ban on moving horses
slowed down the vaccination
program even when the sup-
plies were made available.
Vets in San Patricio County
have been outspoken in their
criticism on not allowing
horses to be brought to a cen-
tral point where vaccination
could be carried out on a much
faster schedule rather than
having veterinarians having to
call on the individual horse
farms. (This was changed
Tuesday to allow horses to be
brought to the Vets.
All available information
seems to point to the possibility
of the disease being carried by
insects other than the
mosquito. Veterinarians in this
area believe that a small green
horse fly that is found abun-
dantly in the area is a possible
carrier as well as the larger
horse fly. A federal
veterinarian who was in the
county over the weekend
