started on a similar project near
Coolidge, Texas, to provide 355
aere feet of storage for thit city
tn the Pin Oak Creek watershed
program.
In the new watershed protec-
tion program the government can
lend up to 85 million for periods
of as long as 60 years at a rate
of about 2% percent. The loan
is retired op an annual basis.
There is no such loan provision
in the older Upper Trinity and
Middle Colorado flood prevention
program.
8C8 Is authorized by the new
law to cooperate with local sub-
divisions of government in build-
ing structures up to 5,000 acre
feet of floodwater detention capa-
city. Additional storage up to
25,000 acre feet in total capacity
can be provided for municipal
water supplies.
A city or water district must
use its own engineer or employ
one to determine water needs and
suitability of the watershed and
the proposed structure for a mu-
nicipal supply. The local engineer
may re-design the dam to Include
the addtional storage, or the city
or water district may use SCS en-
gineering help and reimburse the
agency.
Smith explained that the objec-
tive of the locally sponsored wat-
ershed program is to give protec-
tion to land, crops and property
against flood damage. Soil con-
servation treatment of land in the
watershed Is fundamental. It in-
sures a long period of usefulness
for the floodwater retarding
structures by reducing sediment
carried by runoff into streams
and reservoirs. It also benefits
the farmer and rancher through
more efficient use of land and
available moisture.

TEMPLE.— Water-short Texas
towns are waking up to the op-
portunity of adding to their water
supplies through the Department
of Agriculture watershed protec-
tion and flood prevention pro-
gams in the Trinity and Colorado
River watersheds and in local
projects asalsted under Public
Law 566
* State Conservationist H. N.
Smith of the V. 8. Soil Conserva-
tion Service, reports growing in-
terest on the part of municipali-
ties eager to pay added costs to
provide needed water storage be-
hind floodwater retarding dams.
Smith explained that the dams
are designed as detention struc-
tures primarily. Their purpose is
to slow down floodwater* and re-
lease them automatically at a rate
stream channels can hold. Each
dam must first be justified on the
basis of its usefulness in flood
prevention. Water storage for any
purpose other than flood-preven-
tion must be secondary and in
keeping with state law.
Application* for SCS help un-
der the comparatively new Water-
shed Protection and Flood Pre-
vention Act (Public Law 566)
now total 113, Smith reported.
Modification of the Act has made
it easier for municipalities and
special purpose districts to make
use of the program in meeting lo-
cal water needs.
In the new watershed protec-
tion program, municipalities or
other authorized organizations
can build water storage into a
floodwater retarding structure by
paying the difference in cost,
Smith explained. The city of
Kaufman, in the Kaufman-Van
Zandt Soil Conservation District,
was the first Texas city to take
advantage of the water-storing
opportunity.
Added capacity of 1834 acre
feet was built' into a floodwater
retarding structure on Big Cot-
tonwood creek, a small watershed
in the big Upper Trinity flood
prevention program.
The 1834 acre feet of storage
■—nearly ,800 million gallons—was
providejd.at a<cost to Kaufman of
818,114.
Smith said., construction

Largest in History
Th* Southwestern states Tele-
phone Company recently an-
nounced that it has established
the largest program in it* history
for the construction of new and
improved facilities for its four-
state operational area-—Arkansas,
Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas
—during 1967. Total program for
the year has been set at more
than 87,500,000.
In announcing tills record pro-
gram, D. T. Strickland, vice-presi-
dent and general manager, com-
mented that this record expendi-
ture by the company 1* neeeteary
to keep pace with the increased
population in the four states
where the company operates ex-
changes in 168 towns, and also to
keep pace with the ever-increas-
ing demand tlor telephone service.
Representing the increased use
of telephones, Mr. Strickland
pointed out that just 16 years ago,
in 19 46, the total number of local
calls placed over the company’s
facilities was 108,260,900, as
compared to 161,432,323 local
calls in 1956. Toll call service
has also reflected this great in-
crease, as indicated in comparing
the 4,304,482 offered toll calls in
1946 to the 9,422,164 offered toll
calls in 1956.
"Our company’s policy has al-
ways been to furnish good serv-
ice,” Strickland said. "During the
present-day faat-moving economy,
the only good service is one that
is continually improving.”
Indicative of the company’s ef-
forts to offer improved telephone
service, Strickland cited the fact
that the company has spent about
$26,693,965 over the past ten
years in converting common.bat-
tery and magneto exchanges to
dial operation, installing addi-
tional centra] office equipment,
outside construction, and other
improvements.
Results ‘of this Improvement
program are reflected in the com-
parison of dial-operated tele-
phones now and in 1946. In 1946
there were 10,054 dial stations in
the four-state area, compared to
86,471 in 1956. With, a total of
114,721 stations, the company is
now 74 per oent dial operated,
while only about 22 per cent of
the 4 6,4 9 4 stations in operation
in 1946 were dial.
Exchanges In ten cities were
converted to dial operation during
action to provide more funds to
meet the critical needs of Texas
hospitals and special schools.
More adequate state facilities
for care of tubercular and ment-
ally ill is cited as a growing state-
wide health problem.
The suggestion for action, ini-
tiated in Tyler, has two principal
Objectives:
(1) An a<J<|it)pnal $500,000 op-
erating budget for the Texas
Board for S^ate Hospitals and
Special Schools tor the 1957-1959
biennium, and
(2) Continuance of the state’s
extra one-cent cigarette tax to
provide funds for state hospitals
and special schools building pro-
gran, initially created by the leg-
lalaturo In 1950.
A statistical report shows an
increase in recent years in both
the number of mentally ill and
tuberculosis patients. Present
shortage of beds and delayed
treatment ia, in some cases, creat-
ing a health peril from spread of
infectious disease. This situation
is becoming aggravated as
number of cases Increase.
From Franklin County during
the period September 1, 1955, to
August 31, 1956, a total of 18
mentally ill and one tubercular
patients were admitted to state
hospitals and on the latter date
there were 20 mentally 111 and
no tubercular -resident patients
undergoing treatment.
It la reported that in 1956,
there were 8,135 unheap Rallied
tuberculosis cases in Texas, and
8.576 admissions to Texas hospi-
tals in lft55-’56 year. .... ,
Upwards of 300 new beds are
needed annually for the treatment
of the mentally ill, and present
facilities are overcrowded. With
proper therapy, new often lack-
ing. mental health epeolaliats ad-
vise teat 10 per- eent of. mental
case* can be restored to eaeful
