Area Rice And Cotton Harvest Ahead
0( Last Year; Rockport Gels Sewer Aid
Rice is beginning to move again
in this predominately rice produc-
ing area. Local rice farmers start-
ed receiving marketing cards and
certificates last week releasing the
grain for market. This is a back-
lash due to the recent rice acreage
allotment investigation that has
been underway in Texas Gulf Coast
counties.—El Campo Citizen.
Calhoun rice farmers, gathering
their finest crop under the most
favorable conditions in recent
years, this week ran headlong into
■a serious marketing block brought
about by the current rice quota
probes. Marketing cards that per-
mit a farmer to sell his rice crop
have been issued to producers on
only 30 of the county's 64 rice al-
lotments handled through the Cal-
houn ASC office.—Port Lavaca
Wave.
The good cotton and rice crop
is coming in fast. Several Jack-
son County ginners estimate about
70 percent of the cotton has been
picked and operators of the var-
ious rice storage firms estimate
65 to 70 percent of the first cut-
ting is in. The total on bales gin-
ned by Wednesday noon was 7,080
and the four rice storage firms
had received a total of 4153,656 bar-
rels of rice.—Edna Herald.
Badly needed sewer facilities will
now be possible as Rockport has
been granted funds under Public
Law 660 to cover one third of the
work recommended by the State
Health Department. The grant, to
be used in expanson of the sewer-
age treatment plant, amounted to
$11,592. The rest of the money
for the work will come out of the
•city's pocket.—Rockport Pilot.

noon, September 8th at 6 p.m. The

Henry Kyle, one of the Ag.

ager of Port Lavaca, will soon be-
come manager of the Kingsville

ber of Commerce, a position he
took after resigning as city mana-
ger here, will take over his duties
in Kingsville, September 15.—Port

Jackson County Extension Agent
Lee Wilson was notified by let-
ter Tuesday that Jackson County
has been included among the new
counties where Federal All-Risk
Crop Insurance will be available
for the 1963 crop year.—Edna Her-
ald.
At the City Council meeting
Monday night, city manager Billy
Wolff reported that the City of
El Campo was in good financial
condition with some $25,000 left
to finish out the present fiscal
year which ends October 1.—El
Campo Citizen.
A lot of Port Lavacans breathed
a sigh of relief this week when
they learned that the city now has
a more than even chance of being
the port of dispatch for 1,417,000
tons of rock which will be used to
build the Matagorda Ship channel
jetties. This chance was provided
Saturday noon when two Port La-
vaca waterfront interests settled
thei differences and created a sit-

20,000 Restaurants
Serve 15 Million
Heals Every Week
Over 15 million meals will be
served in 20,000 Texas eating es-
tablishments this week. If you're
average you'll eat at least two of
them.
You could go into the vast ma-
jority of those restaurants and
cafeterias and be assured of get-
ting a wholesome meal—totally ob-
livious of the fact that you're eat-
ing food cooked and served by
complete strangers.
How can this be, especially since
some 26 different diseases can be
Spread by improperly handled
fond? included in the list are such
scourges as trichinosis, the deadly
botulism, strep infections, and sal-
monellosis (food poisoning).
There are many reasons of
course, but among the main ones
are the three-day short courses in
sanitation conducted by the State
Department of Health for persons
(engaged in food preparaion and
Service. In the past five years, ac-
cording to official records, thous-
ands of Texans have taken in-
struction.
The subject matter, presented in
a non-technical, easy-to-understand
style with films and demonstra-
tions, covers such essential points
as basic bacteriology, insect con-
trol and personal hygiene.
When a restaurant employee
completes the instruction, he is
given a certificate of attendance,
jngned by the State Health Com-
missioner and attesting the fact
that he has had he course. And
when 80 percent of the workers in
a food service establishment com-
plete the course, the restaurant is
awarded a placard suitable for
framing and display so customers
can see the owner has an interest
in health protection.

PEOPLE WIN IN VERMONT
Montpelier, Vt.—Vcrmont'3 Dept.
of Agriculture has quietly deflat-
ed a myth which has persisted in
the Green Mountain state for years.
It just isn't true, the depart-
ment says, that Vermont has more
cows than people.
It places the grand total of all
livestock in the state at 383,313.
Vermont's population was just
over 390,000 in the '60 census.
Let's learn from the mistakes of
others. We can't live long enough
to make them all ourselves.
When a man sits with a pretty
girl for an hour it seems like a
■minute. But let him sit on a hot
stove for a minuter—and it's longer
than any hour. That's relativity.—
Albert Einstein.

Here in South Texas, people use more electricity when the weather is hot—
and this summer has been a scorcher!
During hot weather it takes more electricity to keep your home cool, operate
your refrigerator and food freezer, and help you enjoy outdoor living. At
the same time, I still have all my year-round chores to do — cooking, cleaning,
lighting, washing and drying clothes and dishes, heating water, providing
entertainment and helping you live better, electrically, in many other ways.
So, if your bill for electric scrvice is higher than usual, think what a summer
would be like without it. Think of all the good things electricity docs for you,
and I know youll agree-electric service from CPL is still your biggest bargain. I
