The precision of your pharmacist in com-
pounding your prescription is essential in
translating your physician’s knowledge and
skill into health-saving benefits
for you. You can depend on us
for ACCURACY, checked and
double-checked.
This office receives many re-
quests for assistance on prob-
lems between the people and
the government. These may be
very simple requests from stu-
dents asking for information to
use in writing a thesis or con-
ducting a debate. They may be
routine requests for informa-
tion or they may involve com-
plicated difficulties with Social
Security, the Veterans Admin-
istration, or the Armed Forces.
You can help when you write
me if, in your first letter, you
give me all the information you
have concerning the case. For
instance, if it involves Social
Security tell me what your
number is and if you have al-
ready had correspondence,
when it was, and with whom.
The same information is need-

CARD OF THANKS
We are most grateful for the
splendid patronage given us
while we operated Siegel’s
Store and also during the many
years our father, the late Bill
Siegel, owned and operated the
business. The store will be
closed until further notice and
we hope you will accord our
successor the same loyal sup-
port and patronage you extend-
ed to us. Again a most sincere
“Thank You.” *

Late Bill Siegel
Austin—Are the “childhood
diseases” here to stay? Is it still
necessary to have a smallpox
vaccination? Do babies inherit a
“natural immunity”?
The “childhood diseases” are
a myth. The fact is that these
diseases are so contagious
among children that most peo-
ple have had them and thereby
developed immunity by adult-
hood. But adults can and do
catch them, and when they do
they are sometimes much sicker
than children.
Two of the so-called child-
hood diseases—m u m p s and
German measles—have special
dangers for the adult patient.
Mumps can be damaging to
adults—both men and women.
And German measles, when oc-
curring in the early part of
pregnancy, can result in dam-
age to the unborn child. So, if
you are exposed to any “child-
hood” disease and believe you
have never had it, ask your
doctor what you can do to pro-
tect yourself.
It is extremely important that
you and your children keep
protection against smallpox up
to date. True, the absence of
smallpox in this country has
led to a lack of public concern
about this serious disease and
large segments of the adult
population are unvaccinated or
require boosters. In some parts
of the world smallpox continues
to be a serious problem. If just
one single undetected small-

Dear Neighbors:
About four years ago, in Bay
City, there was a barbecue out
in LeTulle Park, organized
principally to' express to Sen-
ator Lyndon B. Johnson
myself the community’s
preciation for the Bay
Channel. Appropriations
just then been made, and the
community knew that their
dream was about to come true.
The program of the day was
running a little late, and
stead of having his speech
last one, the Committee
Senator Johnson on first
that he could get out to the air-
port and be on his way.
After he haa gone, I was in-
troduced and I remember well
something that I said about
Senator Johnson. I spoke of him
as being a man of tremendous
vitality, and I told how some
of us who were his older friends
took it upon ourselves to ad-
vise him to slow down. He al-
ways told us he would—but he
never did.
In these days in Washington,
we have about given up the
idea of ever slowing down this
perpetual-motion President of
ours. The duties of the biggest
job in the world, with all of
their incredible demands, seem
to agree with him. He never
appears to tire in the least; and
the more he works, the better
it agrees with him.

9th TEXAS DISTRICT
NEW LAW TIGHTENS
HOT CHECK PROSECUTIONS
The 58th Texas Legislature
passed H. B. No. 457 dealing
with the use of worthless
checks to defraud. It has prac-
tical aspects for both the col-
lection of such checks and the
prosecution of offenders that
were not available before.
It makes it unlawful for any
person or firm to make, draw
or deliver a check with intent
to defraud, knowing that the
maker does not have sufficient
funds on deposit to cover its
payment. It is no longer requir-
ed that the check be given in
exchange for property in order
to subject the maker or drawer
to punishment.
The new Act, similar to the
old law, provides that the re-
fusal of payment by the bank
shall be prima facie evidence
of intent to defraud and of
knowledge of insufficient funds,
“provided such maker . . . shall
not have paid the holder there-
of the amount due thereon
within ten (10) days after giv-
ing of such notice that such
check . . . has not been paid . . ”
New notice provisions state
that notice shall be given in
writing sent by registered or
certified mail or telegram to the
place listed on the check.
Penalties are provided which
increase with each offense and
depend upon the size of the
check. First conviction on a
check under $50 shall be pun-
ishment in the county jail for
not to exceed two years and
by fine not to exceed $1,000.
If the check is over $50 the
penalty can be fixed at con-
finement in the penitentiary for
not less than two years nor
more than ten years.
In order to avoid turning
law enforcement agencies into
mere collection agencies, the
Bill provides that anyone who
has furnished information con-
cerning a worthless check
which has resulted in the ac-
ceptance by the District or
County Attorney of a complaint
and who shall thereafter sug-
gest or request that such case
be dismissed, shall be guilty of
a misdemeanor and upon con-
viction fined not less than $100
nor more than $500.

Sometimes I receive a letter
which starts off “I don’t sup-
pose you will read this per-
sonally, but I hope your secre-
tary will etc., etc.” The other
day a high school senior wrote
me a very thoughtful letter
concerning an educational
problem which he had observ-
ed. It was a wonderful letter,
and it contained a valuable
suggestion. It was so important
that I took it up personally with
the Commissioner of Health,
Education, and Welfare. When
I wrote the young man he re-
plied and expressed surprise at
the length of my letter. He said
that he had rather expected a
brush-off type of acknowledge-
ment. I assured him, and I as-
sure you, that letters addressed
to me get personal attention. I
have what I believe to be the
best staff on Capitol Hill but
it isn’t their job to keep mail
away from me. None of them
has the authority to sign my
name. When you write me you
may do so with full assurance
that your congressman will
himself study your problem and
give you a reply.
The only letters that don’t
get the full treatment are form
letters or those which are what
we call “inspired” and which
do not reflect any real study
and thought on the part of
the writer.
Sincerely yours,
Clark W. Thompson

pox case should be introduced

could touch off a serious epi-
demic.
Is it true that a baby is pro-
tected by his “natural immun-
ity” acquired from his mother?
Some of a mother’s natural or
acquired immunities, if any, can
be passed on to her unborn in-
fant as her blood courses
through the placenta that
nourishes him, but this inherit-
ed immunity remains effective
for only a short time.
In the case of whooping
cough, a highly contagious dis-
ease that is especially danger-
ous and often fatal for small
babies, there is evidence that
immunity is only occasionally
passed on.
Every parent, medical au-
thorities advise, should plan an
immunization program begin-
ning at six weeks of age against
diphtheria,
tetanus, poliomyelitis and
smallpox.

should follow at prescribed in-
tervals throughout childhood
and in the case of certain dis-
eases, well into adult life.
