ANNOUNCES FOR
REPRESENTATIVE
Announcing this week as can-
didate for the office of state
representative from the 57th Dis-
trict, which is composed of Has-
trop, Lei an! Burleson Counties,
subject to action of thi- Democra-
tic Primary Election in July, is
Dr. .1 Gordon Brj'son.
Dr. Bryson, long time resident
of Hastrop, needs no introduction
to local people, many of whom he
has served as a family physician
and all of whom have benefitted
from his civic activities and lead-
ership.
He was for o number of years
president of the Bastrop Hoard
of Education, and bent all of his
efforts toward the obtaining of
a new, modern school for the
town. ILs continued interest in
young people was further mani-
fested in the years he served as
Hastrop County District ('hair-
tnan of the Hoy Scouts, and his
work with that group.
Several times past president of
the Hastrop Chamber of Com-
merce and the Hastrop Lions
Club, Dr. Bryson retired from
active practice of medicine sev-
eral years ago, leaving him free
to devote a major portnvi of his
time to public affairs.
He retired this spring as mayor
of Bastrop, after having served
in that office for the past four
years, in order to make the race
for representative.
Hi- prominence and interest in
all civic affairs, his variety of
activities and his established abil-
! ity of leadership thoroughly qua
; lify him to fill this office,
i Ho will appreciate your vote

ed as there is no charge for these

er Association ha- just complet-
ed the patch tests in the Bastrop
white schools, as part of their
health program, the TB Associa-
tion will reimberse all money
spent for these tests.
Teachers and citizens will be
