, Snoopy, a female basset hound, paid a visit to a Sherman,
Tex., veterinarian the other day for some cold shots. At her
i age going to the doctor wasn’t the great ordeal it once was.
. She didn’t even flinch at the sting of the needle. Snoopy be-
longs to Bill B. Barker of Sherman.
Lynch, TP&L president, report-
ed.
The new figure breaks the pre-
vious company record of 5,168,-
170, man-hours worked safely
and represents a safety mile-
stone for TP&L, Lynch stated.
The last lost-time injury suffer-
ed by a TP&L employee occurred
on December 9, 1965.
The new total is equivalent
roughly to one man working con-
tinuously 24 hours each day for
591 years without a disabling
injury.
According to recent statistics
published by the National Safety
Council, the electric utility in-
dustry has had an accident fre-
quency rate of 5.29 lost-time in-
juries per 1 million man-hours
worked. This means that the av-
erage electric utility company
experiences about 26 lost-time
injuries for every 5 million man-
hours worked.
Since 1960, Texas Power &
Light Company has been well be-
the Company’s accident rate
even more, Mr. Lynch said.
Mr. Lynch cited employee co-
operation, interest and teamwork
as the major contributing factors
to the new safety record.
An official of a large Dallas
based insurance company term-
ed TP&L’s safety performance as
outstanding not only for the elec-
tric utility industry but other
industries as well.

DALLAS. (AP).—Jack Ruby

February re-trial for slaying Lee
Harvey Oswald, his doctors say.
And other medical experts at
Parkland Hospital said the can-

"Ruby is,not at death's door
but his cancer is of an advanc-
ed stage,” one member of his
medical team said—"and it could
be a month of five years.
"We just don’t know until we
run more tests to find where
the tumors originated.”
LOS ANGELES — U-C-L-A
basketball Coach John Wooden
complains that his skyscraper
center, Lew Alcindor, is getting
rough treatment from opposing
players. He says, for example,
that on out-of-bounds plays, op-

Alcindor with their hands all
over him. Wooden indicates that
referees are inclined to look at
the ball, being held aloft by
Alcindor, rather than at the con-
tact being made with the young
giant. Wooden adds: Ne
