CAMPAIGN OF EDUCATION
INAUGURATED BY
EPISCOPAL CHURCH
A nationwide campaign of edu-
cation is being inaugurated
throughout the Episcopal Church,
to inform all its members about
its new Program of greatly en-
larged activity in Christian Edu-
cation, in missions at home and
overseas, in Social Relations, and
in all the other phases of the
(hurch's national and world pro-
gram.
Members of Calvary Church
here, led by the Rev. Fred L.
Molting are planning full partici-
pation in this national, church-
wide, campaign.
I^aymen are to have prominent
roles in the campaign, and already
more than 1 men have volun-
teered to take special training
in preparation for telling the
Nt<>ry of the Church's plans to
vestries and other groups of lay-
men in all parts of the country.
This is believed to be the first
time any comparable number of
laymen have engaged in such an
enterprise for the Church.
Also it is believed to tw the
first time that any Church has
organized an intensive campaign
of education that can touch every
man, woman, and child in its
memitership. The Kpiscopal plans
call for a study through January
of the Church's missionary work
overseas, including the work of
relief of Christian war-sufferers
in Kurope and Asia, and the re
settlement of Displaced Persons
in this country.
During February a similar study
will be made of mis-ions in this
country, and in March the Htudy
topic will be "Know Your Church,"
supplying information about the
Church itself.
On March ! , the Kt. Rev. Henry
K f i<. v Sherrill, I'residinjf Bishop
<>f the Kpisropal Church, will atl-
dre« all hpi-copal congregations,
which will ht ar hmi by means of
radio reteiving -tat placed in the
churches, so that a certain mo-
i' -enl during the regular Sunday
Bishop'^ voice will tell of the
need* and opportunities offered
to th> Church at this critical per-
iod in the world's history. The
add re will be broadcast on one
<>f the larg.-M radio network*
ever ananjfed for a religious pro-
gram.
The enlargement of plans in all

Church's work is to be provided

Rheumatic Fever
Causes Many Deaths
AUSTIN, Tex.—Rheumatic fever
causes more deaths than any other
disease in children of school age,
declared Dr. Geo. W. Cox, State
Health Officer. The first attack
usually occurs in children at the
age when they are in the first
or second grade and recurrences
are most common up to the age
when children are leaving high
school. The insidious onset of bo
many cases during the school year
suggests that teachers and others
in daily contact with school child-
ren should be aware of early signs
and symptoms which may mean
acute rheumatic fever.
Dr. Cox said, "There should be
more and improved examinations
of school children by physicians
with time enough for the nurse oi
teacher and parents to plan with
the physician for any needed med-
ical attention.
"School absence due to illness
or vague disorders, if investigated,
may disclose early cases of rheu-
matic fever. Teachers need to be
more alert to visible signs and
symptoms suggestive of substand-
ard health. Among these signs
and symptoms which should bring
children to the attention of teach-
er or parent are: Failure to gain
weight; pallor; poor apjietite;
fatigue; frequent colds and sore
throats; scarlet fever or any
known steptococcal infection; un-
explained nosebleeds; unexplained
fever; pain in arms, legs and
joints; unusual restlessness; his-
tory of previous rheumatic fever;
behavior changes; decreasing
achievements in school by a child
who has previously done well.
"Children reported by the teach-
er as showing evidence of sub-
standard health should be medi-
cally reviewed by the physician
and needed medical care arranged
/or such children as soon os
possible."

Bastrop County Has
73 Patients In
State Hospitals
AUSTIN, Texas.—Figures that
bring home the significance of
the special legislative session to
each county were released today
by the State Board for Hospitals
and Special Schools.
Commenting on them, Claud Gil-
mer of Rocksprings, chairman of
the board, said, "The problem is
not an abstract one." He added:
"It concerns every citizen: No
one can say when tragedy can
strike or what Texas will be the
next to enter one of our institu-
tions.
"I call your attention to the
accompanying figures, and 1 sug-
gest that you may want to famil-
iurize yourself further with the
situation by discussing it with
your state senator or represen-
tative."
According to the board's cur-
rent record.-, there are 73 patients
from Bastrop County in the state
hospitals and special schools, dis-
tributed as follows:
Mental hospitals, 47
Kpileptic hospitals, 5
Mentally deficient hospitals, 11
Tuberculosis hospitals, 2
Deaf and blind schools, 8
The cost of caring for these
patients for the current year is
$-r>t;,i;48.
Appropriations for the institu-
tions will be the business of th_>
tate legislature, to be called in
special session by Governor Allan
Shivers. The last legislature's ap-
propriation for the operation of
the hospitals and schools during
the next fiscal year was vetoed
by the late Governor Beauford H.
•letter when it hecame aparent
that revenues to provide for it
were not available.
At the time, Governor Jester in-
dicated that a special legislative
e- ion would be required to pro-
vide the necessary money for
operation of the institutions dur
ing the second year of the cur-
rent biennium.
Also to be considered by the
legislature is an appropriation to
expand the hospitals and schools,
which are now, according to sev-
eral surveys, overcrowded and in-
adequately staffed.
