At a regular meeting of the
County Commissioners’ Court
recently, the petition for a $300,-
000 bond issue for the erection
of a county hospital wa spres-
ented with a certificate of ap-
proval of the signers from the
County Tax Collectors office. The
Commissioners’ Court will take
up and consider the hospital pe-
tition at its next regular meet-
ing Monday, June 10 .
The petition points out that
Johnson County’s population of
35,000 -has hospital facilities for
only half its number that can
pay for hospitilization and has
no facilities whatsoever for in-
digents. The petition also points
out that a great number of
cases have been handled outside
the county by hospitals whose
facilities are taxed to the limit.
It is proposed in the petition
that property owners of John-
son County by means of a called
election vote to issue bonds for
the purpose of building and
equipping a $3000,000 hospital
designed to be self-supporting
and maintaining and furth-
er that such a hospital facility
be equipped with, the latest and
most modern equipment and all
the elements necessary for a
favorable comparison with any
hospital of its type in Texas.—

upon the first indication of fa-
tigue, come ashore and call it a
day. If you become chilled, leave
the water immediately; do not
enter the water when overheat-
ed; learn to float, this is most
important; never attempt to
rock a boat in the spirit of fun;
never swim in water that has
been polluted. Swimming close
to or even a few miles below
sewerage outlets is inviting the
possibilty of acquiring disease.
“Excursions, picnics, swim-
ming parties contribute much
to a healty, happy, normal life,
which is Iways desirable,” Dr.
Cox said. “It is by no means
advisable to eliminate these ex-
cursions from our summer pro-
gram, but it is important that
they prove beneficial and not
disastrous.”

Letter to a Soldier
From His Dad....
Austin, June 5—Homer Rain-
ey, the People’s Candidate, open-
ed his campaign for governor
last night near Sherman, where
he used to go to school and
preach and play baseball. It is
an encouraging beginning. Tex-
ans will know more about their
State, good and bad, by the first
primary if Rainey’s opening
speech indicates the sort of
campaign he will fetch to all
parts of Texas in the next sever-
al weeks.
When he announced for gov-
ernor he said he wouldn’t sling
mud. Last night .he didn’t al-
though Beauford Jester, also a
gubernatorial candidate furnish-
ed him with a subject on which
Rainey might have got nasty.
Jerry Sadler, another candidate
for governor, has deplored the
business of everyone ganging up
against one man, but chances
are this will be the. best attack
against Rainey, who means to
wage his own campaign and
present a constructive election
drive. And that is something
Texans haven’t known within
the memory of most voters.
Rainey’s plans for Texas are
ambitious, but the plans are for
all Texans, not for any special
groups. He wants adequate edu-
cational opportunities for all
Texans, black and white, and
would increase the salaries of
teachers to a little above actual
living wage. Fie wants adequte
health protection for all Texans,
biack and white, andwould en-
large state public health service
to all sections and communities
of the State. He wants more
farm-to-market roads so that
rural people can market their
crops, can send their children to
school, can have full lives. He
wants repeal of property taxes
so that more Texans can become
home and farm owners.
All of this will cost money, he
said last night, and he has a tax
program ready for presentation
to the next legislature. Its main
source would be natural resour-
ces which now get by with too
little taxes paid to Texas. Such
a tax has been proposed for
years, but never by a governor
who talked as though he couldn’t
be talked out of it.
It’s an ambitious program but
it’s one that Texans will all
Austin, June. 4—Some timely
advise to vacationists concern-
ing the proper precautions to be
used in water sports during the
summer months was released
from the State Health Depart-
ment today by Dr. Geo. W. Cox,
State Health Officer.
It was pointed out that in
view of prevailing travel diffi-
culties, vacation pleasures are
apt to be limited to excursions
and picnics at nearby lakes,
rivers, and ponds of unfamiliar
depths and currents, and with-
out the usual lifeguard super-
vision associated with bathing
beaches and commercial swim-
ming pools.
“Swimming and water sports
are beneficial to good health
provided ones’ physical condi-
tion justifies this type of exer-
cise,” Dr. Cox asserted; “never-
theless, they possess dangerous
possibilities if the rules of safe-
ty, t h r o u g h carlessness or
thoughtlessness, are disregard-
ed.”
The State Health Officer out-
lined the following simple rules
for bathing and swimming in
I suggest that all business in
America close down for one

say, January — each year. Then
everybody can get his gripes,

bellyaches of his chest.
My system would take the
place of the present method of
having one group paralyze the
nation for several months, then
another group paralyze it for
several months, then another,
and so on.
Let’s have complete paralysis
by all complaihers for one month
each year—all at once. Strikes,
blackouts, shut downs! America

cut month each year—instead of

The Veteran’s Administration
contact office began operation on
the ground floor of the Johnson
County court house. I t i s
hoped to bring service to 3,500
Johnson county ex-servicemen
and dependents that will enable
them to get all the benefits to
which they are entitled under
laws administered by the Vet-
eran Administration.
Averill L. Christian of Dallas,
will be the contact representa-
tive. Mr. Christian is a graduate
of Texas A. and M. College, class
of 1941; and was ordered to Cle-
urne by Tom R. Rayburn, mana-
ger of the Veterans Administra-
tion Dallas regional office, which
is the administrative set-up for
Veterans Administration activi-
tes in 54 North Texas counties.
Christian, who is 26, served as
an officer in the transportation
corps of the army from June of
1941, until his discharge as a
captain in 1946. After training
in the United States, he saw
duty in England and France.
The contact office in Cleburne
will be open six days a week in
order that veterans with prob-
blems relating to hospitilization,
insurance, loan guarantee bene-
fits to build a home or buy a
business may discuss them with
the contact representative. The
office will also be able to advise
veterans and beneficiaries on
problems of enrollment in col-
leges, receiving on the job train-
ing, or questions involving guar-
dianship.
Veterans Administration con-
tact representatives are also
schooled in benefits offered by
other federal agencies, and can
refer questions outside of the
scope of the Veterans Adminis-
tration to proper sources.

Dear Son:
The Rock Tank community
held a home-coming for the ex-
service men of that locality last
Sunday. The sermon was de-
livered by Rev. Robert Walker,
Pastor of the Methodist Church
at Joshua, and former Pastor of
Watts Chapel, Methodist church,
at the noon hour a feast was
spread — one soldier remarked
that enough food was left after
the meal to feed a small town.
The writer attended the sing-
ing and program in the after-
noon and found enough material
in the war records of the ex-
soldiers to fill the column for
this week . . .I found that Mr.
and Mrs. J. P. Hightower had
four sons-in-law’s in the service,
all returned safe and sound.
They are, Pfc. C. V. Hibbitt ,who
saw service for 3 years, eight
months and 15 days in the U.
S., England, Africa, Italy, Ger-
many, France and Belgium. Has
3 battle stars gained in cam-
paigns with the infantry of the
7th army . . . Sgt. Coleman Wal-
raven, also with the 7th was in
3 years, 1 month and 7 days,
of service,, earning 5 battle
.stars . . . Sgt. J. D. Barker in
service 3 years and 6 months,
has 5 battle stars for his ser-
vice in England, France and
Germany; and the last one of
the four, Pfc. Charles Hughes,
was in service 2 years and has
1 star for his service in France
and Germany, but saw plenty of ।
