Polio Vaccine
Plans Are Set
Plans for possible vaccination iirf 522 Erath County first and
second grade school children within the next few weeks were
outlined here Wednesday night.
At a conference of health, med-
ical and school authorities end
representatives of the Erath Coun-
ty Chapter of the National Foun-
dation for Infantile Paralysis, Dr.
Bruce Terrill, county chairman for
th# Foundation, outlined the plans.
Acknowledging the difficulty of
drawing blueprints for action while
the polio vaccine still is under-
going evaluation, Dr. Terrill said:
“It will be spring before we
know if the Salk polio vaccine,
developed through March of Dimes
research, is effective in preventing
paralytic polio and is licensed. But
we can’t wait till spring to start
getting ready. Certain cooperative
steps must be taken early, to as-
sure immediate action if the scien-
tific report is as favorable as we
hope it will be.
"Only by being prepared for
good news can we take immediate
advantage of it in time to protect
a large number of children this
year.”
Time is of Jthe essence, Dr. Ter-
rill pointed out. Ehch eligible child
whose parents request vaccine in-
oculation will receive three spaced-
out shots over a period of five
weeks. This should be done before
the school term ends end the polio
season begins. This time element
necessitates early organisation end
eoftimunity-wide cooptration.
The program will not be another
test of the vaccine but the first
use of a new preventive measure,
he added. An adequate amount of

It is hoped to rffart the project

NEW OWNERS
Bell Oil Will TO OPERATE
Open Station DUBLIN FIRM
On West End
Announcement was made Wed-
nesday that the Bell Oil Company
has purchased a building lot in
west Stephenville from O. T. Young
and has awarded a contract to C.
M. Bailey for construction of a
super service station.
Work is to start immediately at
an estimated cost of $10,000.
This will be the initial Bell sta-
tion in the Stephenville area. The
company operates many stations
in the north and east.
Additional stations are planned
by the company at Hico and Gran-
bury in the near future..
Tests Are
Made on
Oil Well
Drilling on the oil test well on
the N. K. Benson farm near Alex-
ander was halted Wednesday af-
ternoon and had not been resumed
as of Thursday noon.
The drilling, being conducted by
Henderson Drilling Co. of Abilene
for the Seaboard Oil Co., was
halted after hard formations had
slowed progress to two to three
feet an hour. A depth of 6,262 feet
had been reached when drilling
operations stopped.
Schulenberger tests were being
conducted on the well Thursday
The outcome of these tests will
determine whether drilling is to be
resumed. Speculation in the Alex-
ander community is that opera-
tions will not be re-started. The
Henderson firm has a contract
calling for a depth of 7,000 feet.

One of the largest business
transaction in Erath County for
the year which has been pending
for the past several weeks was
formally closed last week when
Messrs. T. C. Poston nnd Ben
Robbins became owners of the
Loyd Hines Motor Company in j
Dublin.’ The advertising columns
of the Empire-Tribune carry this
announcement today.
The Loyd Hines Tractor Com-
pany has been in operator in Dun-
lin for a number of years and is
one of the largest and most suc-
cessful of its kind in this area.
Until the death of the founder,
Mr. Hines, he had personal super-
vision of all operations of the
business. Mr. Hines was fatally
injured in a car wreck several
months ago.
The business will feature the
sale V>f Ford tractors and Dear-
boni farm equipment. A large
stock of parts will be carried at
all times so that these units car.
be quickly serviced.
Management of the business will
be in the hands of Mr. Robbins,
an experienced operator of motor
units of all kinds. The business
will be located in the same place
where Loyd Hines operated—north
of Dublin on the Stephenville
Highway. •**:

Average U.S. Family
Earned $5,330 In ’54
WASHINGTON, Mar.22—(INS)
Government economists said today
the average American family earn-
ed $6,330 in 1954—and had $4,820
left to spend after federal income
taxes were taken but
The average earning of the fam-
ily unit, including unattached in-
dividuals, was about the same as in
1968 but 30 per cent more than
in 1947.
A Commerce Department report
showed that 40 per cent of U. S.
families had incomes ov*r $5,009
a year and 6b per cent earned
$4,000 or more. Six per cent earned
less than $1,000 end three pet

Personal earnings totaled 272
billion dollars before taxes. Of this
85 billions went to families with
less than $5,000 a year, 117 bil-
lions to those in the $5,000-110,000
range and 70 billions to families
with incomes of over $10,000.
There were 50,500,000 family
units last year. This was broken
down by the department into 6,500,-
000 farm families, 9,600,000 un-
attached individuals not living
with relatives and 36,500,000 non-
farm families of at least two per-
sons.
Non-fnrm families received 84
per cent of total income. The av-
erage earnings of this group was
by far the highest—$6,390 as com-
pared with $3,460 for farm fami-
lies and $2,630 for individuals.
A “marked difference” was not-
ed by the department in the dis-
tribution by income size brackets
among the three groups. Of eight
million consumer units with in-
comes under $2,000, four million
were individuals end two million
were farm families. Non-farm
units made op 26 million of the

however, that figures alone do not
