Free oral polio
serum planned
City, county, school and civil
defense officials are discussing
the possibility of administering
free oral polio vaccine to every
resident of Armstrong County.
Plans are now being discussed
and a possible target date of
Oct. 10 has been set.
One of the problems is financ-
ing the project and it is estimat-
ed this would run around one
dollar for three doses per person.
Tae doses would be administered
at about one month intervals for
three months. All children and
adults would be included in the
program.
The present Armstrong County
March of Dimes fund has $333.70.
Whether this fund can be used
for this purpose is not certain.
Administration of the doses
would nrobably take place at the
Claude High School, however, the
children would have to have writ-
ton permission from their parents
before they can receive the vac-
cine.
Mothers Club to
meet Tuesday
Motors Club will meet Tues-
day, Sept. 11, at 2 p.m. in the
school cafeteria.

will play the women Saturday

roll Park The men will be re-
quired to wear dresses and—play

Brucellosis
meeting slated
All beef cattle producers in the
county are urged to attend an
educational meeting Tuesday e-
vening, Sept. 11, in the District
Courtroom. As all cattlemen in
Armstrong County will be involv-
ed in the blood-testing of cattle
beginning on or about Oct. 1, it is
vital that each individual be ad-
vised as how he will be affected.
Dr. T, H. Leenerts, District Ve-
terinarian, Texas Animal Health
Commission, will be on hand to
explain how the testing will be
carried out. He will also be in
charge of the personnel who will
be doing the testing in the coun-
ty when the work begins.
Armstrong County will become
a Type IT Brucellosis Control
Area, beginning Sept. 21. The ef-
fects of this will be explained at
the meeting. The test work is
the process by which a county
becomes a modified-certified Bru-
cellosis-free area.
A petition, containing the signa-
tures of 75 percent of the cattle-
men who had rendered cattle on
current Armstrong County tax
rolls, was submitted to the Texas
Animal Health Commission, re-
questing the commission to take
the necessary steps to make Arm-
strong County a modified-certi-
fied Brucellosis free county. Ac-
cording to law, a 90 day waiting
period followed. As the next legal
step, a hearing was held in Aus-
tin Aug. 6, for receiving testimony
favoring or opposing the testing
proa rani. No opposition was pre-
sented, so plans for the testing
work were left intact.
The meeting will be held in
the District Courtroom of the
county courthouse in Claude and
will begin at 8 p.m. Refreshments
will be served. Several business
items will need to be worked out,
including lineup men to help
schedule the herd testing in the
communities, a place to park the
mobile laboratory trailer.
It is extremely important that
all beef cattle producers in the
county attend this meeting.
