Miss Gladys Trull
Enrolls In School
Of Education At T. U.
AUSTIN.—The tradition of the
“dreary drudge” is on its way to ob-
livion, if Gladys Trull, valedictorian
from Palacios High School and
freshman at the University of Tex-
as, has anything to say about it.
Miss Trull is enrolled in the
School of Education, and plans to
major in English. But she intends
vto take time out from studying once
in awhile, and has already made
good on that intention by joining
the Freshman Fellowship Club, a
Y. M.-Y. W, C. A. sponsored organ-
ization.
Weekly programs of music,
speakers, and occasional films are
scheduled for the freshman club, ns
well as frequent “mixers" or socials.

Eidman Warns
Motorists To Get
Title Certificate
From The Herald:—
The Herald has again been urged
by S. O. Eidman, county tax collec-
tor and assessor, to warn its read-
ers that every motor vehicle owner
has to secure certificates of title on
his motor vehicle before January 1,
1942.
Mr. Eidman spent last week-end
in Austin conferring with Texas
Highway Department officials and
they told him that no motorist
could operate his car without a
certificate of title after January 1.
Application can be made for a
certificate of title at the Tax Col-
lector and Assessor’s office in the
County Courthouse.
The law reads:
“Section 63, paragraph C, of the
Certificate of Title Act provides
that the owner of a motor vehicle
registered in this State shall not
after January 1, 1942, operate or
permit the operation of any such
motor vehicle upon any highways
without first obtaining a certificate
of title therefor from the Depart-
ment, nor shall any person operate
any such motor vehicle upon the
public highways knowing or having
reason to believe that the owner
has failed to obtain a certificate of
title therefor. This does not apply
to vehicles purchased new prior to
January 1, 1936.”
D. C. Greer, state highway engin-
eer, adds:
“We would like to call the at-
tention of the Tax Collectors to the
fact that the exemption under Sec-
tion 63 regarding automobiles pur-
chased new prior to January 1,
1936, pertains only to registration
and operation of these vehicles and
that any automobile sold or en-
cumbered in this State after Octo-
ber 1, 1939, must be titled regard-
less of the date it was originally
purchased.”
Work Speeding
To Get Farmers
’42 Allotments
Speeding up work to get 1942 al-
lotments to farmers by November
1, is the gigantic task facing county
officers now, W. J. Hickl, chairman
of the Matagorda County A. A. A.
committee, announced this week.
Allotments are being issued about
six months before the usual time
since all decks must be cleared for
the house-to-house canvass in the
national defense program, the A.
A. A. official said. The farm plan
sheet method, through which farm-
ers plant crops for maximum pay-
ments under the A. A. A. program,
will be used by committeemen in
the feed and food campaign.

ty will be added. If the accrued bill
is not paid by the 20th of each
month service will be discontinued
Remission of penalty and interest
without notice and a charge of one
dollar will be levied for reconnec-
tion after the bill has been paid,
charges on delinquent taxes was
voted for a 60 day period beginning
October 16.
It was also decided to secure data
relative to prices, including main-
tenance and operating costs, of
gasoline and Diesel motored trac-
tors for street work. It was pointed
out that the tractor now owned by
the city is no longer able to do the
work necessary and that the streets
were in serious need of attention.
As soon as the desired information
can be secured a special meeting of
the council will be called to make
a decision as to purchase.
Emmett Chiles, water and street
superintendent, was instructed to
make a check of buildings which
have connected the rainfall drain-
age outlets to the sanitary sewer
system. This practice, it was stat-
ed, over loads the system which b
already operating at full capacity
and prevents the proper functioning
of the system. Property owners who
have such connections will be in-
structed to disconnect those outlets
and to put the sewers in proper
order.
Current bills were approved and
ordered paid and a number of build-
ing permits were approved and per-
mits will be issued as soon as the
fees are paid.
Planted Acreage
Of Rice This Year
Totals 302,000
The 1941 rice acreage for Texas
is 204,000 acres and the rice allot-
ment for 1942 will be 296,645 acres,
an increase of 45 per cent over the
state’s allotment this year.
The allotments for next year will
be in the hands of the farmers on
November 1, it has been announced.
The State’s estimated planted
acreage for this year was 302,000,
the largest in the history of Texas.
The rice loan announced recently
will be put into effect immediately,
guaranteeing rice producers coop-
erating under the A. A. A. program
a loan of 85 per cent of parity,
which is $3.06 a barrel on No. 1
Blue Rose rice. <

ease. Generally, the nursing visits
include general hygiene, diet in-
structions, preparation for delivery
arid care of the infant. During the
summer months, emphasis has been
placed on sterilization of infants’
food and anting utensils, the care
of heat rashes and impetigo, and
immunization against diphtheria
und whooping cough.
The tuberculosis program in-
cludes: six new patients admitted
to the nursing service und 12 nurs-
ing visits made. These visits consist
of cooperation with the physician
in arranging for the diagnosis of
contacts and for the isolation of in-
fected individuals. Persons in the
home who are responsible for the
care of infected or sick persons are
taught the basic principles of good
nursing care and patient comfort.
Occasionally through the help of
other county agencies or officials,
Sanitarium or hospital care may be
secured for a patient suffering with
tuberculosis.
There have been 20 expectant
mothers admitted to the nursing
service and 55 field nursing visits
made. Fourteen women have been
admitted to post delivery nursing
service and 28 nursing visits to this
type of a case made.
There have been 51 children un-
der six years of age admitted to
nursing service. Of these, 34 were
under one year and 21 under two
months of age. There have been 106
nursing calls made to these child-
ren. The number of calls counted on
mothers and children in a few in-
stances overlap as a call to a moth-
er and new infant are counted as
individual calls in gtatisti""'
ords. The total number of home
nursing calls to mothers anu cui.u
ren was 107.
In connection with the infant pro-
gram, six Mexican and two n-gro
women were taught methods of
home pasteurization of milk. This
has been a factor in the control of
infant diarrhea among these
groups.
In Palacios, four older persons,
classed as morbidity cases, were ad-
mitted to nursing service and seven
calls were made on them. Of these,
one person was admitted to the
County Farm until able to care ioi I
himself again.
Miss Pershing has attended five
meetings of local clubs at whioh
she has given -short talks concern*,
ing her work.
The school program has not been
completed. Thus far, seven school | -
children have been visited in their \ 11/111
homes, and four visits have been1 LOmimtte® Will
made to. schools during school
hours. These conferences and visits
did not include the standard school
nursing plan.
There have been 102 conferences
with various leading citizens, coun-
ty and town officials, physicians
and members of voluntary service
organizations. These have been nec-
essary in the carrying out pf the
organization help in health prob-
lems; and in introducing the work
to the community.

Gulf Coast Council Of
Agriculture Endorses
Drainage Payment tj
Members of the Gulf Coast Coun-
cil of Agriculture have endorsed
the policy of benefit payments un-
der the AAA program for drain-
age in Gulf Coast areas, according
to a resolution passed at a recent
meeting of the council.
Benefit payments are given farm-
ers and ranchers for certain con-
servation practices but drainage is
not included in those for which pay-
ments are allowed, it was pointed
out. Improper drainage can and fre-
quently is damaging to crops and
pasture lands, particularly when
large areas stand under water for
protracted periods of time.
The resolution will be forwarded
to Secretary of Agriculture Claude
A. Wickard and farmers and ranch-
ers of the Gulf Coast area are urg-
ed to write to their Senators and
Congressmen before the meeting of
the Council to be held October 21
at the opening of the new pasture
experiment divisions of the Experi-
ment Station there.
The resolution follows in full:
WHEREAS, the coastal prairies
of Texas are poorly drained and,
WHEREAS, drainage is of prac-
tical importance for the conserva-
tion of valuable species of grasses
and clovers; and
WHEREAS, pasture and growing
crops are retarded or killed by poor
drainage; and,
WHEREAS, the propagation of
animal life and farm prosperity re-
quires cooperated effort;
BE IT RESOLVED, by the Exe-
cutive Committee of the Gulf Coast
Jouncil of Agriculture, assembled
at Houston, Texas, this the 7th day
of October, 1941, that the Honor-
able Secretary of Agriculture,
Claude A. Wickard, be petitioned
to include drainage as a practice
for which benefit payments, under
the A. A. A. Range and Farm Pro-
gram, will be allowed.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED,
that the President of the Gulf Coast
Council of Agriculture be authoriz-
ed to appoint a committee to repre-
sent the farmers and ranchers of
the Texas Gulf Coast to confer
with the proper authorities in be-
half of this request.
Respectfully submitted,

Nothing Definite
Is Known About
Drivers Licenses
No definite information is avail-
able for the reissuance of drivers
licenses, County Tax Collector S. O
Eidman said. It has been rumored
that licenses will be issued accord-
ing to numbers but nothing specific
has been sent to the county yet
As soon as any information comes
in regarding this, Mr. Eidman
promised that he would let The Her
aid readers know.
Give Advice On
Debt Difficulties
Expert advice on how to smooth
out debt and land-tenure difficulties
with landlord and creditors will be
furnished to debt-burdened fanners
Friday morning, October 10, when
the Matagorda County farm debt
adjustment committee meets.
The meeting will be held in the
F. S. A. office in the Lewis Build-
ing in Bay City at 9:30 o’clock,
according to Joe A. Birkner, chair-
man of the committee.
Mr. Birkner said that committee
members would give debt-burdened
farmers and their creditors and
landlords the benefit of their ex-
perience and best judgment in
working repayment schedules and
land-tenure agreements that are
fair to both parties.
“The committee’s services are
free and confidential,” he states,
“and we welcome any farmer,
whether tenant or owner, who finds
it impossible to pay his debts or get
a farm for next year on a satisfac-
tory basis.”
