Texas Legislature made an
important move recently con-
cerning Texas school children
Though the kids may not think
much of it, (Gov. Smith has
also signed the measure, it
requires that school children
be innoculated against six di-
seases and pre-school children
immunized against eight di-
seases. Now that many shots
is enough to'make any young-
ster not want to go to school,
but, according to the guv,
“This is a landmark legisla-
tion in the field of health. For
the first time in the history of
the state of Texas we will be
able to make some headway
in eliminating these diseases”
Actually, the health bills re-
quire pre-school children to
be immunized against diph-
theria, whooping cough, teta-
nus, polio, rubella, rebeoia and
smallpox before they can en-
ter child care facilities.
School children must be in-
oculated for for diphtheria, ru-
bella, rubeola, tetanus, polio
and smallpox as a pre-requi-
site for their admittance into
any Texas elementary, secon-
dary or university facility.
That’s a lesson in itself.

Noticed that state revenue
from cigarette taxes was
down the last quarter, nearly
half a million dollars, which
means that a lot of people
are giving up smoking, either
voluntarily, or are dying of
lung cancer.
Don’t know what per cent
of that loss of revenue result-
ted from Howe smokers, but
we nave several residents who
have defeated the weed vol-
untarily. While attending the
monthly school board meet-
ing last week, we observed
only one user of the nicotine—
and we’ve being trying to quit
for years. Of the seven board
members, superintendent and
principals, none needed the
lone ash tray on the confer-
ence table — and it’s kinda
embarrassing to reach for it
every month.
From individual conversa-
tions with the non-smokers
it appears that most of them
never had the habit to begin
with, while a couple of others
stopped paying the state ciga-
rette tax even before all the
lung-cancer talk of a few years
ago.
And, while on cigaret-smok-
ing local government, only
one member of city otncials
(not counting George Barnes)
is addicted to the weea, though
a couple others fire up a cigar
now and then.
Adding all this together and
averaging it out — guess you
could say we have a tar and
nicotine-free government in
Howe.
