Wildlife rabies is running two to
one ahead of rabies among do-
mestic animals, the State Depart-
ment of Health record for February
shows.
In February, there were 69 cases
of rabies diagnosed in all animals.
Only 17 of the 69 total were among
dogs and cats.
The rabies picture in Texas has
recently been taking on a new
look. The present trend indicates
a decline in the number of rabies in
domestic pets, but a rise in the
number of wildlife rabid animals.
Infected skunks and foxes were
more numerous than the total of
rabid dogs confirmed by the State
Health Department during 1959
Livestock rabies has shown an in-
crease also, probably due to e
posure to wildlife.
Public health veterinarians point
out that, numerically, there isn’t a
high enough immune pet popula-
tion in Texas to prevent the spill-
over of wildlife rabies into the
dog and cat population.

You Know
Your Child's Status
As Both Taxpayer
And A Dependent
Parents may be entitled to claim
their child as a dependent on their
Federal income tax return even
though the child earned $600 or
more during 1959, Robert R. Jones,
Administrative Officer for Inter-
nal Revenue at Bay City, Texas,
said today.
Even though the child is requir-
ed to file an income tax return if
he has income of $600 or more for
the year, the parent also may
claim him as a dependent if cer-
tain conditions are met.
If he has been furnished more
than half of his support, the par-
ent may claim an exemption for
him regardless of the amount he
earned, providing he had not reach-
ed his 19th birthday by Januarv
1, 1960.
When the child is 19 or over, he
still may be claimed as an ex-
emption if he was a full-time stu-
dent during some part of five cal-
endar months in 1959, and if the
parent meets the support test. A
full-time student is one who is en-
rolled for the number of hours
which is considered to be full-time
attendance.
In addition to attendance in the
regularly recognized high schools
and colleges or universities, a child
also will be considered a student
if he is pursuing a full-time on-
farm training course under the
supervision of an agent of a State
or political subdivision.
A child is not considered to be a
full-time student if he is employed
full time during the day and at-
tends night school, or if he is tak-
ing a correspondence course or an
employee training course.
These special rules apply only to
the taxpayer’s own child (including
CONGRESSMAN
CLARK W. THOMPSON
•th TEXAS DISTRICT
At this writing, the Civil Rights
debate is going full blast in both
House ami Senate. If I had to guess
the outcome, it would be that a
moderate bill will be passed. The
Southern members won’t like it,
and won’t vote for it, but we don’t
have enough votes to effect the out-
come.
The net results—-still guessing—
will not make any great difference
in Texas, except that we won’t
like it, especially if some Federal
agent is looking over our shoulders
at the polls.
In all my years in public office,
I have never known of a case where
a qualified Texas voter was denied
the right to cast his ballot because
of race, color, creed, or national
origin.
If the bill were limited to voting
rights only, its chances of effective
application would be much greater.
More about dams in general, and
Columbus Bend in particular. No
such project is built on the whim
of any small group or individual.
There is a long process of investi-
gation, research, and exploration
which takes months, and some-
times, years. Local authorities must
be reasonably in accord. State
agencies, notably the Board of Wa-
ter Engineers, must make an un-
qualified favorable recommenda-
tion. This Board, by the way, is
scheduled to hold the first hearing
to consider objections as well as
statements of those in favor.
In time, a Congressional Com-
mittee will hold a hearing to con-
sider and evaluate the accumula-
tion of evidence. This is the only
hearing at which I have any of-
ficial recognition. I shall insist
that all who wish to be heard have
that opportunity. They may appear
in person, or they may file state-
ments, which become a part of the
permanent record.
Generally, Congressional Com-
mittees are reluctant to act favor-
ably unless there is a strong local
opinion in favor of the project.
To old friends of mine who hold
conflicting opinions on the Colum-
bus Bend proposal, let me urge that
if humanly possible, you compose
your differences right there—at
home rather than in Austin or
Washington.
Applications Open
For Census Takers
Of 1960 Population
Sid Holdredge, district super-
visor of the 1900 Census of Popula-
tion and Housing which starts
April 1, today issued an appeal to
residents of the area to become
candidates for jobs as census
lakers. ...................................
Applications for jobs as census
takers may be obtained from (Mrs.
Orville Barton, .3200 15th Street,
Bay City, Texas. Mrs. Barton was
recently named crew leader for
this area. It is her responsibility
to recruit and train the census
takers; plan and allocate work as-
signments; review the work of the
census takers and take remedial
action where necessary, and to
handle problems of difficult enum-
eration.
Applicants for jobs as census
takers must be over 18 years of
age, be citizens of the United
States, and have a high school
education or its equivalent. Can-
didates will be required to pass a
selection test demonstrating their
ability to understand written in-
structions and read maps. Persons
who are presently or recently as-
sociated with law enforcement or
tax assessing or collection agen-
cies are not eligible.
Census takers will be paid on a
piece price basis. Al diligent census
taker should earn about $12.00 per
day, the district supervisor said.
A $10.00 training fee will be paid
to census takers who successfully
complete the course of instruction
required before they start their
rounds, and accept a census assign-
ment.
Nowadays men don’t talk about
women as much as they used to.
Most of today’s conversation is de-
voted to overtime and time-and-a-
half.
an adopted child or a stepchild).
Any other child, whether or not
related to the taxpayer, may not be
claimed as a dependent if he has
gross income of $600 or more, re-
gardless of his age or his status
as a student, and regardless of
the fact that the taxpayer con-
tributed over half of his support.
If a child is married and files a
joint return with his or her spouse,
no exemption may be claimed for
that child even though all the other
tests are met.
Taxpayers who have any ques-
tions on this and other subjects
should telephone or visit the In-
ternal Revenue Service office.
