Lusty Prescription Business
The prescription business was
quite lusty before the law was
passed. In 1940. according to li-
quor board figures. 6.815,272 were
written, authorizing sale of 653,-
135 gallons of liquor.
Only about 9.000.000 prescrip-
tions were .written in the entire
United States in 1931, when na-
tional prohibition was in effect
but most drinkers were patrons
of the bootleggers.
Will bootlegging come back be-
cause of the new Texas prescrip-
tion liquor law? Yes, answered
Paxton—it will to some extent.
But the liquor board can handle
bootleggers, where as it could not

AUSTIN, Texas, May 26 (API.
The doctor who did nothing but
write liquor prescriptions for
$1,400 in the school fund. This
school fund is made up of state
aid, amounting to $10 per teacher.!
which individual schools receive
for libraries. Instead of buying a
few books which would be kept in -
their own school, practically all
schools in the county turn their
money into the county library and
thus gain ccess to far more books
than otherwise would be available ;
to them—the books bought with
state aid school money being kept
in a special collection which can :
be used only by those schools ] I
which co-operate; but when they
saw how much was gained by
those which did, they made haste I
to join," Mrs. Boaz explained.
Schools in a number of other
counties in the state are pooling
their state-aid library money. If
there's a county library, the col-
lection of books is circulated
through it; if not, it is placed in
the county school superintendent's
office and circulated from there.”

drug store source.
Bootlegging! was expected to
consist mainly of bringing legal
liquor from wetcounties to dry
counties for sale. Paxton said he
anticipated some increase in the
"moonshine” trade, particularly in
East Texas, where the illegal stills
have never been completely wiped
out.
Trade Knocked Out
In any event, the liquor pre-
scription trade, with .425 Texas
drug stores selling 129 gallons of
liquor per month each, suffered a
knockout at the hands of the law.
No longer kill a Lubbock drug
store, for example, fill 2312 liquor
prescriptions written by one doc+
tor in a month while filling only
13 written by three other doctors..
It seemed lizeiy. said Paxton,
that the price of prescriptionsi
would go up, as, it did during na-
tional prohibition when it was the
only means of getting a bottle of
bonded liquor;

Enterprise, and it was reproduced
Sunday in the San Antonio Ex-
press.
Quoting from the Express:
"We are better than Santa
Claus, the children say, for, where-
as Santa Claus comes only once a
year, we come every month,” a
county librarian (Mrs. Olna Oatis
Boaz of Cooke county! remarked.
She was telling the people assem-
bled at Galveston for the annual
meeting of the People’s Library
Movement of Texas how the li-
brary and the schools of her coun-
ty co-operated.
“ ‘The children write us letters
of appreciation,’ she added. She
told of her first visit to a little
colored school so remote from
town life that actually none of the
children had ever seen a moving
picture show.
“Mrs. Boaz has a portable mov-
ing picture machine which she oft-
en carries on her rounds with the
bookmobile. So she told these
children they were going to show
them some pictures of airplanes.
