STATE HIGHWAY DEPT.
ISSUES NEW '53 MAPS
AUSTIN, Texas.—Texas chalked
up another “first” today when the
1953 Texas Official Highway Map
was released, D. C. Greer, State
Highway Engineer, announced.
The new map, featuring “A
Look at Texas” theme, is a 100
per cent Texas product. Wood pulp
for the paper was grown in East
Texas. The paper was made near
Houston and the plates and print-
ing were done in Austin.
An encyclopedia of Texas Infor-
mation in itself, the map provides
current and accurate highway in-
formation, while the back side has
pictures and information on points
of interest.
Locations of roadside parks, na-
tional and state parks, national
forests, mountainous areas, lakes

safety, comfort and pleasure of the
traveling public are shown. There
are 1.034 cities and towns listed
with a cross section of altitudes
given. Thirteen enlarged city in-
sents are provided for the con-

For “A Look at Texas,” the back

outstanding vacation spots. Fish
ing, horseback riding, picnicking,
sailing, and cattle branding scenes
suggests places to “go.”
Greer announced that the new
map is available to the general
public for the asking. For the con-
venience of the public, a special
addressed card is available in the
county tax collector’s office upon
the registration of your automo-
bile. These map cards will expe
dite the handling and mailing of
the maps, Greer added. The maps
are also available free of charge
at any Texas Highway Department
district office, Travel Information
Bureau, or by writing direct to
the Texas Highway Department,

PORK SHOULD BE
COOKED WELL DONE
SAYS STATE HEALTH OFFICER
AUSTIN, Texas —“Trichinosis is
a disease caused by eating raw or
partly cooked pork which contains
the trichina worm. This disease as
a rule causes several deaths and
an undetermined amount of illness
in Texas each year,” state Dr. Geo.
W. Cox, state health officer.
Definite signs and symptoms of
ilness are associated with trichi-
nosis. In the beginning there are
abdominal pains, nausea, vomiting
and diarrhea, lasting about a week.
Migration of the embryos in the
blood stream causes fever and se-
vere muscle soreness, especially
in the diaphragm and the muscles
of the arms and legs. The third
stage, during which cysts surround
the larvae in the muscles, is the
critical one. If infection is severe,
there may be edema, or swelling
of the eyelids and elsewhere,
marked loss of weight, weakness
and delirium.
The prevention of trichinosis de-
pends primarily upon the thorough
cooking of all pork. Most cases fol-
low the indigestion of weiners, sau-
sage or other pork products, eaten
in raw or partly cooked form. The
hazard of the disease is greater
in connection with home butcher-
g, unless safeguards are exer-
sed. Rats should be exterminated
because they play an important
part in the spread of infection
among swine. Prolonged refrigera
tion, as carried out v d*r federal
supervision, destroys iehina lar-
vae. Thorough cook1 and the
