Following two decades of fairly
steady decline—except for brief
periods—diptheria has shown
slight increase in the past two
years.
In 1961 there were 209 cases
of diptheria in Texas compared
to 239 eases in 1960 and only 163
cases in 1959. The same trend is
followed in the death column of
the disease.
Prior to 1960 there had been a
steady decline in the number of
fatalities in Texas attributable to
diptheria—in 1959 there were
only seven.
However, the figure jumped to
20 deaths during 1960. The latest
figures available for the first nine
months of 1961 indicate that there
were 15 deaths through the end
cl September.
Two sad facts highlight these
cases. First—most deaths occur
among children under nine years
of age. Second—most cases, and
almost all deaths, of diptheria
could be prevented by early im
munization with diptheria toxoid.
Texas outbreaks during the
past two years have been char-
acterized by the fact that the
families involved had not been
properly immunized or had re-
I eeived no protection whatsoever.
Diptheria used to claim a high
toll of victims years ago, and a
higher percentage died.
Alter dipihena immunization
became fairly common, the inci-
dence of the disease dropped off
to the low figure in 1959.
Physicians generally inoculate
infants with a combined triple
vaccine composed of diptheria
and te;anus toxoids and pertus-
sis vaccine ensuring protection
against all three diseases.
Transmission is made by per-
son-to-person contact with a pat-
ient or carrier or with articles
soiled with discharges of such
persons. Tne diptheria organism
is contained in discharges and
secretions from mucous surfaces
of the nose, pharynx and naso-
'/1 Pharynx.
I 11 The disease strikes most often
j in the fall and winter months
and complications involving the
heart occasionally occur.
The Texas Highway Commis-
sion has praised the new FaTti
to Market Road Bill as a “con-
structive piece ef legislation''
and announced that the bill will
pave the way for an eventual
15 000 mi’e increase in total
Farm Road mileage in the State.
“The establishment by the
Legislature. through this legis-
lation, of a long-range mainten-
ance program for Farm Roads
will make increased new mileage
possible,” said Herbert C. Petry,
Jr., Chairman of the Highway
Commission. “The Texas High-
way Commission.” he said, “has
this day passed a Commission
Minute Order expanding the ob-
jectives of the Department from
the present 35.000 mile system of
Farm to Market Roads to a 50,-
000 mile system.” It was pointed
out that this is in accordance
with the agreement made by the
Highway Commission to all of
the interested road development
groups to coordinate with the
new legislation. "The increased
mileage will be developed over
a period of years, logically bal-
anced among the various areas
of the State,” Petry said “Such
a system of roads will be selected
for the over-all benefit of the
road system and the areas in-
volved and with the objective of
developing all areas of the State
up to the 50.000 mile system as
uniformly as possible.”
A total of 34.2^4 miles of Farm
to Market Roads have already-
been designated.
“We are confident that we can
secure under the new Farm to
Market Road Bill more miles of
newly designated Farm Roads
than we have been getting in
recent years.” he said.
Chairman Petry added, “This
new action of the Legislature
will have the effect of relieving
the growing pressure on the
funds available for Primary
Highways and urban traffic fa-
cilities. These funds have here-
tofore borne the total burden of
maintenance of the Farm to
Market Roads. The new law pro-
vides a separate maintenance
program for these roads, thereby
relieving the tensions on the Pri-
mary Highway Fund, in which a
deficiency has long prevailed.”
Speaking for the Highway
Commission, Petry expressed
latitude to the members of the
Texas Legislature “for the con-
fidence they have displayed in
the Highway Department in the
passage of this legislation.”

Price, spice and everything nice!
W ho ever thought a car that saves like this could have
so much sizzle? Chevrolet engineers, that’s who!
Liveliness and luxury for a low, low price were exactly
what they had in mind to begin with. And they began
from scratch with a whole carload of ingenious new
ideas designed to give you more for your money.
That spunky 6 with gas-sipping stinginess is just one
example. Another: a new unitized Body by Fisher
that’s fit for a full-size family inside, easy to park
outside. Still another: tough but gentle one-piece
Mono-Plate rear springs that outdo many a bigger car
for quiet comfort. Any wonder Chevy II won Car Life
magazine’s 1962 Engineering Excellence award hands
down? (The wonder would be if you settled for any-
thing less—once you get your hands
on one at your Chevrolet dealer’s!)

TRUELOVE NOW IN GERMANY
Pvt. Frank F. Truelove of
Archer City has arrived in Mu-
nich, Germany with the 46th In-
fantry.
Frank went over by ship and
reports that it took nine days to
make the trip. On the same ship
was Lee Roy Smith, son of Mr.

took their basic training at Fort
Carson. Colo., and then Frank
was sent to Fort Dix. The boys
were then fortunate in going
overseas on the same ship. Both
boys graduated last year from
Archer City High School. Frank
is the grandson of Mr. and Mrs.
Bud Rushing and lived with his
grandparents while attending
school.
