The chips are really down
In Gobbler stadium tonight
when the Cuero High Gob-
blers entertain the potent
Beeville Trojans. The power
Of the Beeville defense is
shown in the fact the team
has allowed but a single
touchdown to be scored a-
gainst them this season as
they have rolled through
five games undefeated.
The Gobblers definitely
arc the underdogs. Victoria
sports writers are picking
the Trojans to win 18-0.
We’re sticking with the
Gobblers, win or lose. The
boys hafe shown great spir-
it, great sportsmanship.
They’ll still rate “A” in our
books tomorrow regardless
of tonight’s score.

Polio, diptheria, tetanus,
and typhoid fever will strike
about 13,000 Americans this
year, despite the availability
of preventive vaccines, ac-
cording to predictions.
The reason for the heavy
toll is that about 35 percent
or the public Ignores the
vaccines. Virtually all polio
victims this year will be per-
sons who did not get Salk
vaccine, or did not complete
the series of injeotlons
deemed necessary for ade-
quate protection.
Some parents mis takingly
believe that one series of
shots for a disease confer*
lifetime Immunity. In M
many as five per cent of
cases, diptheria toxoid doei
not grant protection. Id
others, an immunity on«&
established may wear oR
rapidly.
} Typhoid fever presents a
similar picture. The bacter-
ia that cause typhoid can-
,not be entirely eradicated.
A good Immunization pro-
gram which parents might
note is recommended as fol-
lows:
, Three to six months of
Age — Small pox vaccina-
tion, diptherla-tetanus -per-
tussis series, followed by
first and second polio shots.
One year of age — Third
polio shot seven months af-
ter the second shot. Tuber-
culin test. Typhoid - para-
typhoid series if advised by
physician.
GROWING years — Polio
series, if not previously
done. DTP booster before
fifth birthday. Thereafter,
diphtheria - tetanus booster
(eliminating pertussis) ev-
ery four years. Repeat small-
pox vaccination each five
years, and upon exposure.

OF 4000MILES
By TOM NELSON

WASHINGTON. Oct. 25.-<UP)
—High military sources said to-
day the Air Force's successful
|Farside rocket speared to a
height "close'' to 4,000 miles on
its meteoric ride into space.
The shoot, far surpassing all
known altitude records for a pro-
jectile, pushed up the United
State position in the race with
Russia to the moon.
An Air Force scientist who par-
ticipated in Monday's Farsidc fir-
ing was expected at a Pentagon
briefing to give the exact alti-
tude reached and some other de-
tails of the rocket's performance.
It was launched from a balloon-
supported platform 20 miles over
Eniwetok Atoll in the Pacific.
The briefing was set for 11 a. m.
EDT.
Was Four-Stage Rocket—
The Air Force said the four
stage 1,800-pound rocket was in-
tended to travel between 1,000
and 4,000 miles above the earth.
It said it would be a success if it:
went 1,000 miles up.
