Currently almost 40 per cent of
tlu- opciating fur.ds needed must
come trom charitable gilts. Adults
are trented, too. but at present.
welfaie funds arc nit available
to persons ovei 21 years ol age.
Contrary to common belief, the
Foundation is not limited to tho
treatment of polio victims, al-
though polio patients still predom-
uiate in the patient load. Victims
ot accidents as well as individuals
suffering liotn ccreoral palsy,
multiple sclerosis, muscular
d\ strophy. strokes, and other types
of neuro-must ular disordeis bene-
fit Tom the comprehensive treat-
nn-nt program
Th» Foundation is operated by a
rtute-wide beard of directors with
direct management delegated to ft
13-meniN'r executive committee
elected at the annual meeting ot
the boatd. The committee meets
once each month to transact Foun-
dation business
A medical advisory council,
whieh draws its memliersldp from
the staffs of the medical schools of
Texas and ihe various medical
societies and associations, super-
vises the medical program for the*
Foundation. One of the nation’s
leading doctors of physical medi-
cine, Dr. Odon F. von Werssowetz,
is medical director.
Th* Foundation’s high standards
are attested by its approval by
the Joint Commission on Accredi-
tation of Hospitals, which em-
braces the American College ol
Physicians, American College of
Surgeons, American Hospital As-
sociation nnd the Canadian Medi-
cal Association.
No effort is spared to provide
the post in personnel and facilities
for the often painstaking nnd dif-
ficult business of rebuilding limbs
and muscles. The greatest stength
in the progtam, however, is the
attention given to the total ne**ds
of the individual--recreation, spir-
itual, occupational and education I
al, us well as ph.vrical.
An excellent brace and corset ;
shop is j part of the Foundation, j
deity turning out many intricate
devices, bracts, and supports, to
help in the long struggle.
The attracive. Spanish-colonial
typo plant, valued at more tnan
two million dollars, is picture-
squely located near the village of
Otiiu* near Gonzaels. On tho
grounds is the warm spring, the
losult ol an early unsuccessful
oil exploration, which gives the j
Foundation its name and provides
an abundance ot warm water for
throe treatment pools.
Gonzales Warm Springs Reha-
bilitation Foundation is a city
vvivnin itselt. Its population, m
large measure, mov* s on clutches,
in wheel < hairs, and on stretchers.
Its story u difficult to tell ad-
equately for t is a story of a
thousand personal drama- repeal-
ed in different form day in and
dsv out.
It is a story of pathos, love,
compassion, and, most important,
hope.

County Range
Conditions Best
In Ten Years
IS Hat*, county's ranges now aro
in the best condition in ten years,
J. D. Moore reported this wort:
in his report of crop condition-
in the county.
“One thing is sure," Moore re-
ported, 'Wi had enough ram tins
w^ek following last voek’s rain."
No field work was done, he said.
Small gra n conditions are good,
the agent stated, with a majority
of farmers and stockmen hoping
for fair weather in order to get
additional small grains sowed.
"We estimate there two or throe
thousand baits of cotton still in
the fields caught by the recent
heavy rains. Salvage value of this
cotton could be improved by dry
weather and sunshine," Moore
! said.
Livestock conditions in the coun-
ty remain good, with lange condi-
i tions in tin county the best in
I 10 years, Moore said. Some live-
| stock loss from floods was re-
| ported, the county agent added.
About 40 per cent of the countv
pecan crop is beginning to mature,

AUSTIN, Oct. 30. <Special'—
Gov . Priee Daniel today urged ail
tlig’ble T« xan.« to go to the polls
on Nov. 5 and vote for the watei
development amendment, which is
Proposal Number 3 on the ballot
“1 he urgent need ol dam« and
r*-mivoir* in the state is evident
to e\ eryone,' Daniel stated. “Prop-
osal Number 3 will make possible
sueh projects. It is a sulf-financ-.
inn plan and tlu* v atcr amend-
ment does not call fur and will
not necessitate any tax.”
Darnel pointed out that all of the
states puitlu officials are back-
ing ihe proposal. “Furthermore the
amendment lias been endorsed b.v
a multitude of state associations
and other organizations, newspa-
pers. manufacturers and cham-
ber's at commerce."
Active'y supporting the water
amendment are the East Texas
Chamber of Commerce, West Tex-
as Chamber of Commerce', South
'i * xa-< Chamber cjt Commerce Rio
Grand* Valley Chair.tier oi Com-
merce, the AFL-CIO, and the Tex-
as Manufacturers Association.
“Here is Tex as’ opportunity of
a lifetime.” the governor added.
“Here at our finger tips is a
potential 5 600 000 000 for water
projects to be paid out ol reve-
nues."
Texas* chief executive also cited
the flood damages and the tremen-
dous loss c-f lives and property
that have resulted from uncon-
trolled waters.
“Why should Texans continue
to suff.T millions ot dollars in
property damage every yen? Why
should good wait r that can bo
used by cities, by industries and
by agncultuie be allowed to How
unrestricted oft our rich lands nnd
on into the Gulf of Mexico?"
“Ihe recreational advantages
mat would follow the udtiilion of
mere lax* s and reservoirs natural-
ly will lx* ol interest to hunting
and fishing enthusiasts as well as
those who enjoy boating and
other outdoor sports, but mo-t im-
portant to Die Slate are the fi-
nancial aspects of the program.
And th-*y ate vitally important,"
Dai.jc! stated.
Then, as if to answer all ques-
tions, he summed up his remarks
vito tin statement that ‘the e a-
ter development » m * n d in e n t,
which i* third on >fie Nov. 5 ual-
iot, is a once-in-a lifetime oppor-
tunity for Texas and all Texans
to have what is greatly needed
and without taxes. For this is a
self-financing program that not
will pay itselt out, but eventually
many mean millions of dollars in
revenue to the State.”
While discussing the water
amendment the Governor also
tossed in his recommendations of
the other two proposals appt aring
on the Nov. 5 ballot.
