New Licenses
In Production
AUSTIN—New 1957 hunting
and fishing licenses are now in
the hands of the printers and
will go out to deputies for sale
before September 1, it has been
announced by the Chief Clerk
of the Texas Game and Fish
Commission.
New fishing licenses will cost
$2.15 this year. Licenses will be
required for both salt and fresh
water fishing. Hunting licenses
will be $3 25. Although there are
a lew-exemptions, licenses gen-
erally will be required of all who
fish and hunt in Texas.
“The safe thing for anyone
in doubt is to check with the
local warden, or any one of the
many deputies who’Jl be selling
licenses." according to the Chief
Clerk.
AUSTIN — Although summer
has Just started In Texas, school
days are practically around the
corner and It is time that moth-
ers should start thinking about
getting the young ones ready
for school again.
Special consideration ehould
be given to the thousands of
Texas youngsters who will be
starting school for the first
time.
Most school districts have cer-
tain requirement which must be
met before a child may be en-
tered in school. Foremost in
nearly every , school Is proof of
birth.
If you do not have a copy of
your child’s birth certificate, a
certified copy may be obtained
from the Texas State Depart-
ment of Health for a one dollar
fee.
Write to the Bureau of Vital
Statistics, Texas 8tate Depart-
ment of Health, Austin, Texas.
Be certain to include the child’s
name, birth date and birth
place, and the name of his par-
ents. Also, enclose $1.00 cash (at
your own risk) or money order.
Do It now and avoid the rush.
Every child should have a
pre-school health examination.
Height, weight, pasture, vision
and hearing should be checked.
Often school beginners’ prob-
lems can be traced to faulty
vision and hearing.
Have your dentist to go over
your child’s teeth again. With
the excitement and challenge
of school, new physical—and
emotional—demands are made
on him and to get the most out
of school, he needs to be physi-
cally ready for It.
With school come more chanc-
es for exposure to communica-
ble diseases. This Isn’t the
school’s fault—it’s because your
child is becoming a part of a
bigger world.
To help prevent illness, check
up on immunizations, especially
your school district’s require-
ments. See that your child Is
itUl protected against dlpthe-
ria, whooping cough, tetanus,
smallpox, and by all means have
his polio series started If yon
have not already done so.
Ooing to school will be all
new to your child. It means
new children, a new place, new
adults, new things to do. It’s
the same child, but one who Is
changing physically, mentally,
and emotionally.
If he la healthy and you keep
him healthy, his adjustment
into school life will be made
much simpler, and hell be hap-
pier.
