WHOOPING COUGH
ON INCREASE
IN TEXAS
AUSTIN.—A statement releas-
ed tivlav by Or Geo. W. Cox,
j State Health Officer, indicates tha'
the incidence of whooping cough
in Texas is «• present almost thre<>
times a« high as the seven year
median.
j "Prevention and control ot
whooping cough, especially among
infants and smai! children, ma.-
ib« accomplished through use of
i pproved vaccim. and convalescent
I serum," f)r Co* asserted," ana
it ii important that ,*uv"h measure-
j be taken to protect them. N'eg.
lecting to do so, and allowing the
i young child to suffer an attack
[ of this disease, may seriously
. impair his future health."
"The infectious agent or germ
i of whooping cough, i transmittei
; by droplets expell^l in coughing,
' snceiing. or speaking " Dr. Cox
said. 'The discharge* from the
i nose and throat are dangerous to
susceptible persons; the need for
■ early recognition ami careful iso-
lation of whooping cough is ot>-
j viouii."
The first ign of this disease
is usually a dry cough, which
persists day and night and tend*
to become increasingly severe. Th-
disease is fully developed when
vomiting of food and whooping
accompany the paroxysm of cough.
Dr. Cox stressed the fact that
children who have whooping cough
should not attend school and
should be isolated so that they
will not come in contact with
other children until three week*
after the appearance of typical
j signs of the disease,
EMPLOYERSSHOULD
KEEP COPY OF
SS NUMBERS
With 36 different ways of spell-
ing the name of Baer, 29 spell-
ings of the name Snyder, 22
spellings of the name Bailey and
various spellings of other names,
David S. Pruitt, Manager of the
Social Security Administration
field office in Austin, urges em-
ployers in industry and commerce
to keep complete and accurate
payroll records of the names and
account numbers of all worker*
which they are required to report
in the next quarterly tax return*,
to be filed with the Collector of
Internal Revenue at the end of
June
Since the names and account
numbers of workers are so close-
ly linked with the future monthly
benefits that are due then under
the old-age and survivors in-
surance system, employers should
copy down in their permanent rt
conb the worker's social security
card*. Pruitt *aid. Employers will
need these names and numbers
when they make their quarterly
re|>ort,* to the Collector of In-
ternal Revenue. The names and
nCmbers are used by the Social
Sec rity Administration to identi-
fy the accounts of workers under
the old-age and survivors insur-
ance system.
A great proportion of the er-
ror- in the wage report* made to
the Social Security Administra-
tion are due to inaccuracy—uch
as errors in the spelling of name*

or transposing of digits in ac-
count numbers. Many unidentified
wage items result from the fac"
that a worker is on the job only
one or two days, and the em-
ployer does not get his social
security account number.
Another source of difficulty in
maintaining correct records, Pruiti
said, is the fact that brides, di-
vorcees and other workers, who
have changed their names, do not
report to the Social Security Ad-
ministration field office their new
name, and so they are apt to
have their wage records kept under
two names, it was stated. A form
OAAN-70o"l, "Employee's Request
for Change in Records," can be
; obtained at any Social Security
Administration office to have the
■ records changed.

To Our Customers In The
Bastrop Trade Territory
Due to the decline in our business since the discontinue
ation of the Army Camp, we have decided to close our
lumber business in Bastrop. Therefore, we are going to
give our friends in and around Bastrop opportunity to buy
this building material at greatly reduced prices. This
sale will last until July 15th, and all sales will be strictly
cash.
Most of this lumber is weather stained as a result of
having been stacked outside our sheds to dry, some of it
is slightly damaged, but most of it is in very good condi-
tion.
In closing our Bastrop yard it does not affect any other
yard we operate.
We appreciate the nice business you have given us
since we have been operating in Bastrop. We will al-
ways number many of you as our good friends.
Yours very truly,
R. E. Rawls Lumber Co. Inc.
Operating in Bastrop under the Trades Name of:
J. L. Wilbarger & Co.
