Texas students must begin an
immunization program by Jan.

Department of Health.
Students will be allowed to en-
ter schools during the summer

the'r immunizations against at
least one of six diseases will be
started by Jan 1 and completed
as soon as medically possible.
The required immunization for
grade school level youngsters
includes diptheria, tetanus, polio-
myelitis, measles, rubella and
smallpox Measles immunization
Is not required if there is a his-
tory of measles illness.
Exceptions may be granted on
religious grounds or to those who
may he harmed by immunization
Ion written certification by a
physician). However, exemptions
would not be permitted in a time
of emergency or epidemic, the
Health Department adds.
AI'TO RATK HEARING SET

auto rati s to replace the con-
troversial schedule put into ef-

er rates Hearing will be conduct-
ed in the State Highway Depart-
ment auditorium on casualty and

Even when
you blow a fuse,
we re still
on the line.
You could blow every fuse in your
house and still be able to use your
telephone. Because a telephone
doesn't get its power from your
house circuits. Instead, it operates
from a low-voltage direct current
supplied by Southwestern Bell
batteries charged by power from
the local power company. In case
of emergencies, we have auxiliary
generating equipment to keep the
batteries charged. Southwestern
Bell is constantly working to
provide reliable telephone service.
So if a blown fuse does leave you
temporarily in the dark, you can at
least call somebody about it.
