jobs he has brought into the district.

In Texas there are 623 licensed
nursing homes with a combined
capacity of 15,943 beds according
to the latest quarterly figures.
Charged with the responsibility
of licensing and keeping a health-
check on these homes is the Divi-
sion of Nursing and Convalescent
Homes of the Texas State Depart-
ment of Health.
To carry out this responsibility
th' Division has duties that are
many and varied in addition to be-
ing statewide.
The philosophy guiding the in-
spection of nursing homes is one
of cooperation between home and
agency. Seldom is legal action
necessary.
For instance during the last
quarter—June, July and August—
the Division issued 20 original li-

censes covering new operations;
issued four provisional licenses;
and renewed 163 licenses.
During the same period 35 li-
censes were cancelled. On'y in two
instances was it necessary to file
complaints against persons found
to be operating in violation of the
law.
The primary reason for license
cancellation was that buildings cur-
! rently in use were sub-standard
and the licensee voluntarily went
out of business.
Some have already re-located in
remodeled buildings, and in two
cases new homes have been com-
pleted and are now licenses and oc
cupied.
The major work load of inspec-
tion is borne by local health de-
|departments, city, and county health
departments city, and county health
officers and fire marshals who ren-
der a vital cooperative service in
the inspection and licensing pro-
gram.
However, 170 licensed homes are
located in 87 counties without the
services of a recognized full-time
health department. This means the
Division field staff must assume
primary responsibility for keeping
these 170 licensed homes under rou-
tine supervision.
In addition the Division receives
daily requests for the inspection of
potential facilities and for the in-
vestigation of illegally operated
homes.
The Division is also responsible
for processing and issuing emerg-
ency ambulance permits.
Multiple-death crashes on Texas
farm-to-market roads dropped from
106 during the first seven months
of 1959 to 96 during the same per-
iod in 1960. But the number of
deaths in these crashes rose from
126 to 134.

BEAUTIFULLY BUILT TO TAKE CARE OF ITSELF
Wood is an extremely variable
material. For example, there is
virtually no limit to the natural
color combinations available. The
sapwood of most species is light
colored. Some are almost white.
Some woods show no color differ-
ence between the sapwood and the
heartwood. However, the heartwood
of most species is darker colored
than the sapwood.
The figure of a piece of wood de-
pends not only on the species, but
also on the way the wood is sawn.
Sawing accentuates certain grain
characteristics associated with a
particular wood. Some woods are
preferred because of the figured
stripes or ribbon effect and others
because of elliptical or curved pat-
terns. It is the matching of these
patterns and color shades that
gives rare beauty to some pieces of
expensive furniture.
The size character of the wood
grain also influences wood appear-
ance. Open-grained wood, like red
oak, refers to the relative size of
its pores. When applying finishes
to such wood, fillers must be used.
Such woods are often filled with
colors which contrast with the
basic color of the wood. Such color
applications can be used with start-
ling effectiveness.
When selecting wood, there are
many characteristics to choose from
ahd sufficient combinations to
please any taste and requirement.
COTTON STALK DESTRUCTION
With the cotton harvest all but
completed, we urge all cotton farm-
ers to destroy stalks immediately.
This is a valuable tool in coping
with the pink bollworm and the
boll weevil If evervone will fol-
low this practice there will be a re-
duction in these insects next year.
Stalk destruction is one of the
most economical and effective
methods of controlling the pink
bollworm and boll weevil. The use
of stalk shredders is highly recom-
mended. Although it is not legally
required, it is highly advisable to
plow under shredded residue to a
depth of 6 inches about 5 days
after cutting.
FALL LAWN CARE
Fall applications of a complete
fertilizer should be made to lawns
within the next two or three weeks.
We recommend a fertilizer with a
1-1-1 or 2-1-1 ratio applied at the
rate of 2 pounds actual nitrogen
per 1,000 square feet. For example
a 10-10-10 fertilizer is a 1-1-1 ratio
and it would require 20 pounds per
1,000 square feet.
For more detailed information on
lawn care the County Agent’s Of-
fice has just received a new bulle-
tin entitled “Home Lawns”. A copy
is yours for the asking.

Tie 1961 Ford introduces a whole new concept of what a car can
do for you... and for itself!
It lubricates itself. New nylon bearings and a newly developed
lubricant keep the ’61 Ford freshly greased for 30,000 miles. Good-
bye grease racks! What’s more, it cleans its own oil. The 1961 Ford’s
Full-Flow oil filter lets you go 4,000 miles between oil changes.
It adjusts its own brakes. A "mechanical brain" keeps brakes
adjusted for the life of the lining.
Rust? Ford’s body is specially processed to resist corrosion, even
to galvanizing body panels beneath doors.
Ford takes care of itself on the turnpike, too, with a new 390-
cu. in. Thunderbird Special V-8 that has all the punch you’ll ever
need. The 352 Thunderbird Special V-8 and 292 Thunderbird V-8
thrive on regular gas. And, for top economy, you can choose the
’61 Mileage Maker Six.
This is the 1961 Ford .,. beautifully proportioned to the Classic
Ford Look... beautifully built to take care of itself. ’
HERE’S HOW THE ’61 FORD TAKES CARE OF ITSELF
LUBRICATES ITSELF. You'll normally go JO,000 miles without a
chassis lubrication.
CLEANS ITS OWN OIL. You'll go 4,000 miles between oil changes
with Ford's Full-Flow oil filter.
ADJUSTS ITS OWN BRAKES. New Truck Size brakes adjust them-
selves automatically.
GUARDS ITS OWN MUFFLER. Ford mufflers are double-wrapped and
aluminized—normally will last three times as long as ordinary
mufflers.
PROTECTS ITS OWN BODY. All vital underbody parts are specially
processed to resist rust and corrosion, even to galvanizing body
panels beneath doors.
TAKES CARE OF ITS OWN FINISH. New Diamond Lustre Finish never
needs wax.

If that home of yours is mort-

your loan is protected with
