Mumps pop up
A confirmed case of
mumps' at Bastrop Primary
School in an immunized
^student has drawn a warn-
ing for parents of pre-school
children from Dr. B.J.
Marshall, Bastrop's- city
health officer.
Parents "should be aware
of the situation and consult,
ks a matter of priority, the
advice of their private
physician or the State
Health Department" about
"the advisability of immuni-
zations immediately,"
Marshall said.
The advice is directed
"particularly" to those who
have not had their children
immunized against
mumps, measles and rubella,
he added.
According to Marshall, the
student who Came down
with mumps "had been fully
immunized according to the
state's school immunization
laws."

Took two years—but aid arrives
Combined Community
Action, Inc., Bastrop Coun-
ty's official anti-poverty
agency, said this i^eek it
recently came to the aide of
a middle-aged, disabled wo-
man. She lives atone in a
one-room dwelling.
Her distressed, sub-
standard living conditions
were reported to CCA
Headquarters in Smithville
by that Agency's Neighbor-
hood Center on Prima
Street. The case was chan-
neled for attention and
action to CCA's Weatheriza-
tion Program Director.
The Weatherization Pro-
gram, which is funded
through the Department of
Energy (DOE) sent a repre-
sentative to visit the woman,
and evaluate her situation.
Unfortunately, this matter
could not be remedied for 2
years, due to th£ long list of
people awaiting Weatheriza-
tion service, said CCA.
This case finally worked
its way through the system
and a carpenter, Dennis
Bourroughs was contacted
the repairs Were made in 2
weeks.
MOST REPAIRS MADE
A ventilation pipe for the
wood-burning stove, new
doors, insulation and sheet
rock on walls, a new ceiling
with insulation, were all in-
stalled. " Windows were re-
placed. Resultant of assist
ance rendered by CCA, this
woman will be able to take
her small savings and have
minimal indoor bathroom
facilities installed.
FUNDS NEEDED
Maximum allowable
DOE funds were used in
repairs on this dwelling. Still
needed are weather-striping
for the doors, 2 threseholds,
2 door sweeps, and one
gallon of white exterior
Latex paint. The carpenter
has volunteered to finish the
job if someone will provide
the materials. A small sum is
required to complete this
CCA mission.
Any person interested in
helping this ■),Smithville lady, project, there yill be one

Ken Daughtry was named
president and W.W. Cottle
was named executive direc-
tor of a reconstituted Elgin
Hospital Authority last week
at an organizational and
planning meeting of the
board of directors.
"We do have hope," said
Cottle, that the Authority
can secure help through
Austin's Brackenridge Hos-
pital to finance a new hospi-
tal in Elgin.
The new board will meet
February 12 with Bracken-
ridge officials to continue
discussions, Cottle reported.
One possibility, he said,
would be for the authority
to sign an agreement for
Brackenridge to lease an
Elgin hospital
The Elgin board could
then "borrow the money to
build a hospital," Cottle sug-
gested.
Schaefer rites held
Yule decorations down as
soon as he could get around
to it, being shorthanded on

Alderman Robert Smith

certain vehicles are insured.
Wesson reported "all ser-
vice pumps are back in

department and only one

$4 million for a new facility
but it would not involve local

The board is "just talking"
with Brackenridge officials,
Cottle stressed, "about their
helping us."

thority board was allowed to

of an Elgin Hospital District
