Beef Show Champion
Brings 40 Cents at Sale
A Hereford calf entered by
Jimmy Eason, sen of Mr. and
Mrs. Richard Eason, won first
place in the third annual F.F.A.
Baby Beef Show here Wednes-
day. At an auction during the
afternoon the animal was sold
to the A & P Food Store for
forty cents per pound.
The auction, which followed
a concert by the Mineola High
School Band, attracted about
400 people; however, more than
twice this number visited the
showing which lasted most of
the day.
The Mineola Chamber of
Commerce awarded the first
place winner a cash prize of
$10 and split $15 among the
next three winners.
Vadelle Bowden placed sec-
ond with a Hereford which sold
at auction .to Otho McKaig for
39 cents a pound. Raymond
Mitcham won third place with
a Brahman which was bought
by M. M. Vickery of the Piggly
Wiggly for 34 cents a pound.

T-B X-ray Clinic Is Scheduled
For Four Wood County Towns
The State Health Depart-
ment's X-ray equipment will be
in Mineola Tuesday through
Saturday, May 9-13, to make
free chest X-ray pictures of
all persons over fifteen years
of age who are interested in
determining whether they may
have traces of tuberculosis.
The X-ray crews will come
here from Hawkins where they
will make pictures Friday and
Saturday, May 5 and 6. They
will go from Mineola to Quit-
man where they will operate
Tuesday and Wednesday, May
16 and 17. The crew will be
in Winnsboro Friday, Saturday
and Monday, May 19, 20 and
22.
Location of the X-ray clinic
in Mineola, Quitman and Winn-
sboro has not been decided,
said Dr. Alvin L. Waller, dir-
ecto. of .the Wood County
Health Unit; however, pictures
at Hawkins will be made at the
city hall.
The program in Wood Coun-
ty is being sponsored by .the
Wood County Tuberculosis As-
sociation, the Wood County
Health Unit and the Wood
County Medical Society in co-
operation with the Texas State
Department of Health.
This free service is for all per-
sons regardless of financial
status, Dr. Waller said. The X-
ray requires only about a min-
ute and a half and the only
undressing necessary is the re-
moval of any coats worn.
Several thousand Wood Coun-
ty people took advantage of
■the last X-ray clinic held here
more than a year ago, and re-
ception this time is expected to
be much greater. This will be
the first year the service will
have been available at Quitman
and Hawkins.
“Chest X-rays are important,”
said Dr. Waller, “because the
most important organs of the
body, the heart and lungs, are
located in that region. Abnor-
malties in either heart or lungs
may be detected by X-ray and
lead to cure. Delayed attention,
however, can result in limited
health and early death.
“A chest X-ray will show the
presence of lung tumors and
cancer, lung abcess, lung par-
asites, asthma, bronchiectasis,
adhesions, calcification, enlarged
heart, misplaced heart, dilated
or strictured aorta, fracture
[ and non-union ol bones, bone
! tumors, foreign bodies and early
j and late stages of tuberculo-
| sis,” Dr. Waller said, adding
j that “a yearly chest X-ray is
j a method of keeping year , to
J year record of normal con-
j aitions in the chest as well as
j a record on the increase or de-
! crease in the improvement of
I an abnormal condition or dis-
ease. Other important reasons
for annual chest- X-rays are to
detect tuberculosis in stages
when it can still be cured, to
rrevent the spread of the dis-
se, and to provide the public
with insurance of the health
of the people who work in
eating and drinking establish-
ments, dairies, bakeries, canning
plants and the like.”
How Many Beans in the Jar?
Guess and Win an Easy $5
If you’re a good hand at counting heads here’s your
chance to win S5. All you have to do is guess the 1950
population of Mineola.
Send in your guess on a postcard or call at the Monitor
in person any time before May 10. The contest is open
to any Monitor Reader, regardless of where he lives. How-
ever, the figure to be guessed at includes only the population
within the city limits.
Here’s a tip. The .total will probably run less than the
5,000 most Mineolans had hoped for. The 1940 census was
4,005.
Official census figures will be released about the mid-
dle of May. So send in your guess today. Subscriptions will
be awarded as second, third and fourth prizes.

Hob Addy Looking
For Studious Cat
If anybody catches a spec-
tacles-wearing catfish in .the
Sabine, call Hob Addy.
While fishing on the river
this week Hob leaned over too
far and his specs and fountain
pen fell out of his pocket into
about fifteen feet of water.
Hubert Smith of Hawkins had
better luck. Fishing for bream
at Rock Falls Lake Wednes-
day afternoon he landed a six-
pound baiis on a hook baited
with a worm.

Railway Strike
Is Postponed by
Two-Weeks Truce
The government won a two-
week truce Monday night in
the strike originally set for
Wednesday by locomotive fire-
men against four major rail-
roads.
The new strike deadline is
May 10.
Chairman Francis A O’Neill,
Jr., of the National Mediation
Board said that an effort will
be made in the meantime to
settle the issue in dispute.
This is a demand by the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire-
men for an extra fireman on
big diesel engines. Two pres-
idential fact-finding boards
have found the second fireman
—the diesels already are oper-
ated by two. man crews of an
engineer and fireman—is un-
necessary.
The strike was scheduled
Wednesday morning against
major portions of the Pennsyl-
vania and New York Central
Systems, and against the en-
tire operations of the Southern
Railway System and the Santa
Fe.
Embargo orders barring long-
distance passenger service and
western freight service had al-
ready been issued by .the Penn-
sylvania. These were immedi-
ately lifted. The Santa Fe also
had embargoed livestock and
perishable freight. The South-
ern cancelled its plans for a
freight and passenger traffic
embargo after getting word of
the strike postponement.
The truce request came as
major railroads to be affected
by the strike were already an-
nouncing plans to curtail de-
partures of freight and passen-
ger trains to prevent trains
from being stranded on long
trips.
