the family. The new amendment
would permit the county judge and
statement* from two doctors to
grant entry into institutions with-
out a jury trial.
Richter expressed the opinion
that the present system was
adequate as a judge can now send
90 days observation, and at thj
end of that time a jury there, not
a local jury, tries the case.
8. Vance said he could see little
difference in the poll tax repeal
and the system now used, as a
voter would be required to register
and the commissioners’ court could
levy a 50 cent fee. One of the
drawbacks, according to \ ance, :
that voters must declare the!:

9. Many state.; already have
allowed women to a.i on grant!
and petit juries, according to
Vance, and an amendment to this
effect fi r Texas would l e legauy

be a burden to women with homes
anu families.
10. The amendment providing
for annual sessions oi the legisla-
ture and increased smarms for
legislators is a doubio-bari eio.i

men to "the legislature, but it
would also mean high taxes, in
regard to annual sessions, Vance
deviated that it ttHg-r-t.....mean mi at
legislators would enact a great
deal more legislation than- they
now do.
Richter added that the number of
bu. i.a.-.-itvi woui.i probaoiy not
increase as the second annual ses-
sion would be only for appropria-
tion and tax purposes, not to pass
laws. He said he believed that it
was impossible for the Sta*e of
Texas to do business on a two-
year basis, and that private busi-
nesses would not even attempt it.
In Richter’s opinion, raising the
salary from $1,200 every twe
years to $8,000 a year would at-
tract more mature men to. the •
legislature, and he commented
that the’average ago of legisla-

Improperly Cooked
Pork May Result In
Trichinosis Cox Says
“Please pass the pork” is a
familiar sentence , around many
dinner tables these days, as cold
weather approaches. A juicy
roast pork or pork chops are
dishes that can’t be beat, accord-
ing to many connoiseurs of meat.
However, pork can be dangerous
if it isn’t cooked long enough. So,
be sure -that pork passes the test
<jf thorough cooking before yon
put it on the . table. Otherwise,
trichinosis may result, sa. s Dr.
Geo. W. Cox, state health of
ficer.
Trichinosis is a big word, but
the disease is easy to prevent. All
you need to do is cook tlu meat
until the pink color turns to white:
When the change of color occurs,
tlu auial is sale to eat. Farmers
who raise hogs for sale as meat,
and who feed them garbage,
should cook the garbage first., or
\ become contaminat-
ed. If butchered pork is stored at
a temperature of five degrees
above zero, Fahrenheit, for 20
days, trichinosis parasites should
die, if there are any.
What are the symptoms of
trichinosis? Stomach upsets and
muscular pains, a feeling of chil-
liness, sore throat, and sometimes
r n; 'enable fever, are some of
’ the signs. An attack of the illness
lasts about one or two weeks. The
disease has a low death rate, but
recovery is fairly slow.
Bees have four wings.
The largest North
rodent is the Beaver.

RED CROSS FIELD DOCTORS •
SOLVE SERVICEMEN S PROBLEMS
NT-
Red Cross services to the armed forces are available wherever U. S.
servicemen are stationed. Here a Red Cross field director goes right to
a young sailor at work on his ship for the facts he needs to help solve
a problem.
The sailor was young. He had
finished his home leave in a south-
ern coastal city and was heading
back to his California base.
He said goodby to his parent*
and to an older brother, a marine
veteran just returned from service.
Then he left by bus.
A few hours later the older
brother was killed in an automobile
accident. The family appealed to
the Red Cross to locate the younger
son so he could return home.
Within a short while a Red Cross
chapter secretary along the route
intercepted the bus, broke the
news, and helped the lad tret start-
ed back home. There the chapter
got in touch with the field director
at the west coast base and verified
the facts for the commanding offi-
cer who was being asked to ^ex-
tend the sailor’s leave.
Once or more every minute,
around the clock last year, the Red
Cross performed some service for
members of the military forces and
their families. Among the nearly
three quarters of a million cases
handled, a large percentage involv-
ed supplying verified information
concerning home conditions requir-
ing emergency leave or extension
of leave. While the Red Cross
cannot gTant leave to a servifccman,
military authorities depend upon
its post field directors and the net-
work of chapters for. reports of
conditions underlying such leave
requests.
Field directors in 364 military
installations and hospitals and 1,-
059 itinerant- and sub-stations in
this country and abroad aid serv-
icemen with personal problems that
range from babies and budgets to
helping straighten out delays that
hold up pay or family allowances.
The serviceman has his family
problems, marital difficulties, fi-
nancial strains, and family -ill-
nesses—‘all disturbing to ittbrale.
Field directors, providing 24-
hour service at military installa-
tions, are pretty much in the same
situation as the family doctor.
They are routed out of bed at all
hours to face any one of a hundred
complicated problems. Sometimes
it may be to get a report on the
condition-of a critically ill member
of a soldier’s family, or to lend him
money for an emergency trip home,
or to find housing for a family un-
expectedly arriving at the post.
Whatever the problem, the serv-
iceman feels free to turn to the
Red Cross for help, knowing that
he will find a sympathetic friend
in the man wearing the Red Cross
uniform. — ' 1
