the pavement or main-traveled
portion of the roadway.
Familiar to all are the no pass-
ing zones designated by dash
lines placed to one side of the
center stripe on our highways.
Not so. well known are the re-
strictions against crossing the cen-
ter line when approaching within
100 feet of any bridge, viaduct,
or tunnel. The prohibition also
applies when approaching within
100 feet of or when traversing
any intersection or railroad grade
crossing.
A driver should never cross the
center line of a highway when
the left side of the road is not
clearly visible and free of oncom-
ing traffic. Generally speaking,
when not engaged in passing ano-
ther vehicle, one should not drive
to the left of the center of the
roadway.

“Looks like they will market at five

“I started ten pigs on Texo Pig and Sow Ration right after
weaning. At 95 lbs. 1 changed over to shelled corn and Texo
36% Hog Supplement. Now, it looks like they'll market
at five months at about 225 lbs. This convinced me the Texo
program is a money-maker with pigs,” says Nelson Ross.
Ye?, folks, the TEXO Hog Program is the money-making program.
TEXO Pig and Sow Ration is the ideal ration — not only for young pigs,
but for brood sows as well. You'll get heavier, healthier litters; and, in the
long run, you’ll make more money by feeding TEXO Pig and Sow Ration.
Then, when it comes to getting pigs ready for market, you just can’t beat
TEXO 36% Hog Supplement for profitable feeding. By balancing home
grains with TEXO 36% Hog Supplement, you will double the aver-
age daily gain and get them to market up to 16 weeks earlier than on
grain alone. —
More and more feeders in this area are turning to the TEXO Hog Program.
Stop in next time you’re in town and find out what it will do for your

School - Age Children Now live
Longer Thon Fifteen Years Ago
AUSTIN, September 16—Chan-
ces of today’s school age children
—5 through 19—dying of disease
have been cut by two-thirds in
the past 15 years, a State Health
Department statistical summary
shows.
Thus, excluding accidents, the
readin’ writin’ rithmitic set has
three times as much chance of
living to collect high school di-
plomas than had the class of ’38.
State Health Officer Henry A.
Holle attributes healthier school
life in 1954 to improved environ-
ment, at home and school, im-
munization and vaccination pro-
grams, improved drug therapy,
and education of the lay public
on the importanct of disease pre-
vention.
One of every 594 school-age
children iq 1938 died of disease.
By 1953 the ratio had been cut
to one in 1785.
Parents of Texas one and three-
quarter million scholastics can
breathe easier knowing that 1953
diphtheria death rates have been
reduced to one-tenth of the 1938
rate, influenza and pneumonia to
one-sixth, scarlet fever to one-
third, and malaria and typhoid
fever to a flat zero.
Fifteen years ago, the summa-
ry shows, school child deaths
from all causes reached 3389, com-
pared with 1698 deaths last year.
And enrollment, in public schools
last year was greater by 70,000
than enrollment in 1938.
“Typhoid fever and malaria are
excellent examples of what can
be accomplished by simply clean-
ing up mosquito and fly breeding
areas, improving sewage and gar-
bage disposal, and improving
housing conditions,” Dr. Holle
said.
Malaria caused the death of
39 school children in 1938, and
typhoid killed 144. Neither disease
claimed a single life last year.
Significantly, it was in 1938 that
the State Department of Health
began operating on its present
scale.
The figures concerning acci-
dental deaths aren’t as bright as
these on disease-produced fatali-
ties. Accidents accounted for only
22.3 percent of all school age
deaths in 1938, compared with
46.7 percent in 1953.
Accident prevention programs
probably represent the most ur-
gent field for student health edu-
cation Dr. Holle believes.
PRISON RODEO TO
RUN FIVE WEEKS
HUNTSVILLE, — Fans of Tex-
as’ No. 1 rodeo will get an extra
chance to see the state’s fastest
and wildest show this year. And
it’s all due to the way the Gregor-
ian calendar works to make Oct-
ober come out with five Sundays
in 1954.
This makes possible five bigger
and better than ever before in
’54 performances for the 23rd An-
nual Prison Rodeo here, October
3, 10, 17, 24 and 31.
H. H. Coffield, chairman of the
Texas Prison Board’s rodeo com-
mittee has announced that Gover-
nor Shivers will officially open the
big prison show on October 3rd
and that that date has been of-
ficially designated as “Governor’s
Day” in honor of the state’s chief
executive.
“Nothing has been spared,”
said Cof field, “to make this years
rodeo the biggest yet staged by

nally honored that Governor Shiv- ---—-—-———-*
ers has again accepted our invi-
tation to officially open the ro-
deo.”
It will be the sixth consecutive
Prison Rodeo opened by the gov-
ernor who with his staff and
members of the legislature, like-
wise invited by Mr. Coffield in
behalf of the Prison Board, tvill
be the guests of prison manager
O. B. Ellis while in Huntsville.
The first performance of the
1954 Prison Rodeo has also been
named “Press Day” for editors
and publishers of Texas newspa-
pers and radio-TV people, who
annually lend invaluable support
to this widely known event with
their generous contributuions of
space and time given to free ad-
vertising for the show.
This announcement came from
A. C. Turner, rodeo publicity di-
rector, who added, “These folks
have been 100 per cent supporters
of the rodeo and its aims for the
23 years of its existence and the
roedo management is not the lease
bit hesitant in giving them full
credit for its success.”
During each Sunday in October
the best inmate riders of the pri-
son system, who volunteer to ride
in the show, will compete in what
is likely the meanest rodeo in
the nation. These performers do
not ask any quarter from the
animals they have drawn to ride,
and no one ever heard of nor
saw a Brahman bull, who had
been given respectful room 11
months of a year, give any when
suddenly run into a chute and
mounted by a spurred rider.
Tickets are available now for
any date of the show by mail
or wire from the Rodeo Tickfet
Office, Huntsville, at $2.40 each.
Check or Money Order should ac-
company all such requests, and
prompt return mail service will
be given.

wrong things also gives him a

If you take your puppy home in
an* automobile, use a basket or
carrying case. Put him in quietly
and handle the container as little
as possible. If the roads are fairly
smooth, he may sleep and never
know he has left the kennel. Be-
fore you even take him from the
basket, prepare his bed. If he is to
sleep in the house, a good method
is to put up a little fence around
his corner of the room and cover
that part of the floor with news-
papers. If you let him run, plan
for accidents. At best, he is going
to be a scared, nervous little pup-
py and this is no time to start
housebreaking. Try to keep the
children away from him for 12
hours, whern much of the strange-
ness will have worn off. Don’t pet
him much until he comes to you.
Let him get, acquainted in his own
time. And don’t tie a string around
