Texans Taking
Good Care Of
School Children
AUSTIN, Sept. 11 — Trxnns are
now taking good'car* of their
million ond a half school children
including the transportation 0f
320,000 of them 55,550,365 miles
duri.ig the lust school year, the
Texas State Teachers Association
pointed out today.
Nearly 0,000 public school buses
carried the children to and from
their homes during the 175 school
duys last school tsrm and a dis-
tance equal to 2,222 trips nruum
the world at the equator. Th ■
daily total of travel was 317,431
miles.
State school funds provided for
transportation averaged a little
more than $30 per pupil last year,
or a total of $10,340,175. Only chil-
dren living two or more miles
from their school ore provided
transiHirtation.
A total of 25,212 more pupil'
were carried by school buses dur-
ing the last scholastic year than
during the 1948-40 term. The in-
crease was partly due to the con-
solidation of more school districts
and more districts qualifying for
state aid, but most of it was caus-
ed by increased enrollment. Nearly
5 per cent more children were in
public schools last year than In
1048-40 Transportation increased
only 0 per cent. The nearly 0,000
buses in use throughout the state
are valued at $17,492,809, accord-
ing to a survey recently completed
by I. 11. Griffin, state school di-
rector of administration services.
Mis survey also disclosed that
one-fourth of the school buses
should be replaced with new ones.
School buses are expected to give
satisfactory, economical and safe
service for five years.
More than five per cent of the
buses in use are ten or more years
old. Another three per cent arc
nine yean, old and 17 per cent of
the vehicles have been in service
from six 4o eight years.
School buses traveled 126,218
miles daily over dirt roads and
the remainder 191,213 miles on
paved or gravel thoroughfares.
Buses and tires are now pur-
chased through the state at a con-
siderable saving to the individual
school districts.

E W Dill. 1864 Wilford, East
St. Louis, 111., says he's the hap-
piest man in Illinois, now that he's
feeling better. Mr. Dill gives all
th- credit to HADACOL for feel-
ing so much bettor. He was suf-
fering from deficiencies of Vita-
mins U 1, B-2, Niacin and Iron.
Hen. is Mi DiH - statement on
what HADACOI. did for him: ”1
was a conductor for the New York
Central Railroad for over 27 years.
In 1047 a locomotive ran over me.
1 was in the hospital a year and a
half. After I got out of the hospi-
tal I was very nervous and had
di/.zy spells nil the time. I trier!
many things—nothing seemed to
help me. Then a friend of mine
persuaded me to take HADACOL
—and nftci hi .nsisted for 2 weeks
1 finally got some HADACOL.
What a marvelous change has ta-
ken place—now I am able to move
around, am hardly nervous at all
and dizzy nnd fainting spells, why,
they’ve almost completely vanish-
ed. Now I feel so good I have open-
ed up a candy store and do a good
day’s work. HADACOL — why.
that’s the most wonderful thing
there Is in this world. 1 recommend
it to all my friends."
Many Thousands
are benefiting from HADACOL
. . . even hundreds of doctors are
recommending HADACOI. to their
patients whose systems lack Vita-
mins B-1. B-2, Iron and Niacin.
HADACOL is so wonderful be-
cause HADACOL helps build up
the hemoglobin content of your
blood (when Iron is needed* to
carry these precious Vitamins and
Minerals to every organ, and every
part of your body—to the heart,
liver, kidneys and lungs, even to
the eyes, hair and nails.

FORT WORTH, Sept. 11—Pro-
curement of oil field pipe is get-
ting more difficult with supplies
tight and deliveries delayed, ac-
cording to oil and gas producers
from 10 states who were polled
by an Independent Petroleum As-
sociatlon of America committee
meeting here today.
The reports of shortages and!
maldistribution of oil country tu-
bular goods were made to the Oil
and G..s Field Materials committee
of IPAA in reply to a question-
naire mailed Aug. 18. Bryan W.
Payne, Tyler, Tex., is chairman
of the group.
"Development of shortages and
maldistribution of steel tubular
tmods is creating a serious problem
which must be corrected to Ihe
maxlrtitfrn extent possible with-
out delay,” Pavnc said. “Sugges-
tions to alleviate possible serious
conditions have been submitted
to our committee for considera-
tion.”
"We are carefully analyzing all
Information and plans suggested
by oil and gas producers in 10
states, together with other perti-
nent information w> - < we cun
develop, so that probable future
developments can be determined
with respect to oil field materials.
"Drilling operations have been
at a high rate. We recognize that
a high drilling rate must be con-
tinued in the present emergency
In order to find and develop the
ncedes! oil reserves ond prixiucing
"It is readily apparent that do-
mestic oil producers must have ad-
equate supplies of oil country tu-
bular goods with which to drill
the required wells."
Payne said replies to the survey
by his committee were confined
iHigclv to tubular goods. "They
indicate that the supply of tubu-
lar goods has been tight, that
deliveries have been delayed, that
procurement is more difficult, and
that shortages and maldistribu-
tion are developing," he said.
In a report to bo prepared for
the annual meeting of IPAA Oct.
2-3 in St. Louis, Mo., the commit-
tee will make recommendations
"which it believes will help alle-
viate any present or future condi-
tions that are or may be detri-
mental to necessary oil develop-
ment,” Payne said.
W. G. Wnrnock, Mid-Continent
Petroleum Oorp., Tulsa, is vice
chairman of the committee, and
Minor S. Jameson, Jr., economist,
is secretary.
