AND
Gov. John Connally says
Texas is making a lot of
progress on civil rights
without demonstrations and
disturbances. He urged Tex-
as to avoid the trouble which
is plaguing other states.
Roy Evans, secretary of
Texas State AFL-CIO, indi-
cated mass demonstrations
are needed in Lower Rio
Grande Valley to improve
working conditions of Mexi-
can workers. Connally com-
mented such statements are
irresponsible and inflamma-
tory.
Governor also rejected
labor’s appeal for a special
session of the Legislature to
abolish right - to - work law
and enact state minimum
wage, saying he saw “no
need, emergency or desira-
bility” for such a session.
Evans said labor’s tradi-
tional role is to try to in-
flame people against in-
justice, and he intends to
keep on trying to do that.
From one of the unpaid
boss jobs to a $16,500-a-
year assistanceship is the
story of Dr. J. B. Copeland
of San Antonio.
When the Legislature
created the new job of deputy
commissioner of the Health
Department, Dr. Copeland
resigned as chairman of the
State Board of Health to
accept the job of deputy com-
missioner. He had been
Board Chairman for the past
ten years.
Governor Connally named
Dr. N. L. Barker of Paris
to replace Dr. Copeland. He
reappointed Dr. Elmer Baum
of Austin and named Dr. John
M. Smith of San Antonio and
I. D. Flores of Floresville,
a pharmacist, to the Board
of Health.
Connally made other ap-
pointments. Among them: S.
A. Kerr of Huntsville and Dr.
Joe A. Nelson of Weather-
ford, reappointments, and
David A. Kimbell, Wichita
Falls, to the board of re-
gents of North Texas State
University.
Ed Minor of Austin and
W. R. Whitten, Fort Worth,
to State Board of Pharmacy.
Sister Mary Brian Sherry
of San Antonio and Mrs.
Martha McClellan Davis,
Beaumont, to Board of Nurse
Examiners.
Dr. Richard T. Weber of
Austin and Dr. James E.
Makins, Lubbock, to Board
of Dental Examiners.
Judge Otis Dunagan of Ty-
ler, former Atty. Gen. Grov-
er Sellers of Sulphur Springs
and Judge James H. Moore,
Nacogdoches, to the new 12th
Court of Civil Appeals at
Tyler.
Judge Stephen F. Preslar,
McCamey, to the 8th Court of
Civil Appeals at El Paso,
replacing Justice Jim Lang-
don, whom he had named to
the Railroad Commission.
Charles Sherrill, Fort
Stockton, to replace Pres-
lar as district judge.
Judge Howard P. Green
of Cuero, Paul Nye of Cor-
pus Christ! and T. Gilbert
Sharpe, Brownsville, to the
new 13th Court of Civil Ap-
peals in Corpus Christi.
Mayor Joe E. Kelly, Vic-
toria, to replace Green as
district iudee.
Eugene R. Hoyt of Orange,
Jack Pierce of Nacogdoches,
Warren P. Cunningham Jr.
of Houston, Arthur C. Lesher
Jr., Houston, as district
judges.
Ward R. Burke of Lufkin,
Dr. George Andrew Constant
of Victoria and C. E. (Sonny)
Bentley, Abilene, to Board
for State Hospitals and Spe-
cial Schools.
George Christian of Aus-
tin, who was administrative
assistant to former Gov.
Price Daniel, as Gover-
nor’s press secretary, re-
placing Wilbur Evans, who
went back to sports press
relations.
Clay Cotten, longtime at-
torney for State Insurance
Department, as State Li-
quidator to succeed C. H.
Langdeau, who is retiring
due to ill health.
Frank Miskell of Austin,
who headed up the Texas
Legislature’s studies on the
loan shark problem, will be
the administrator of the new
law which regulates licensed
lenders.
Miskell was chosen by the
State Finance Commission to
be the first Regulatory Loan
Commissioner. He will as-
sume his new duties on Au-
gust 23.

With daytime tempera-
tures consistently reaching
into the high nineties over
most of Texas, and with the
prospect of even hotter tem-
peratures during the weeks
immediately ahead, there is
every reason to anticipate a
growing number of deaths
from heat prostration or
sunstroke.
The number of such deaths
in Texas usually totals some
15 or 20 in any given year.
Several heat connected
deaths have already been
registered this summer
from various areas of the
State.
Heat exhasution is caused
by an inadequacy of the heat
dissipating mechanism of the
body. It occurs as a result

of exposure to a hot, humid
atmosphere such as is com-
mon over most of Texas dur-
ing summer months. Sun-
stroke is a form of heat
stroke, complicated by an
absorption of radiant energy
from the sun which causes
a temperature rise in local
body areas, such as the
brain.
How do you avoid heat
stroke? By doing what you
can to keep heat loss and
heat production in balance.
The wearing of loose, airy
clothing is known by phy-
siologists to be among the
best means of maintaining
that balance.
Elevations of body tem-
perature will develop inevit-
ably when tight clothing is
worn because it prevents
loss of body heat through
conduction, radiation and

evaporation of sweat. And
this much is physiologically
true: the body thermostat
is so constructed that a fall
in temperature is much
harder to produce than is a
rise.
Diet plays a part in main-
taining a heat production-
heat loss balance. Heavy
meals are difficult to digest
in hot weather. High protein
foods should be de-empha-
sized and fruits and vege-
tables should be accented,
unless a physician pres-
cribes otherwise.
Body fluids lost through
perspiration during a hot day
must be replaced or painful
jstomach cramps will result.
Fruit juices—two or three
glasses per day — makes
a pleasant way to make up
the loss.
The body also loses salt
through perspiration, so if
work or exercise causes
profuse sweating, salt tab-
lets are called for to replace
that lost. Salted nuts or
crackers might be used for
As summer pastures ma-
ture they contain less pro-
tein and thus the percent
protein in the ration should
be increased, says A. M.
Meekma, extension dairy
specialist, Texas A&M Col-
lege. Attention to this will
jhelp prevent a drop in sum-
mer milk production. Also,
this is the time of year to
begin making arrangements
for the good quality hay you
will need this fall and win-
ter, he says.

the same purpose. Rest is
important during hot weath-
er.
It is smart to exercise
moderately all year around.
But it can easily be overdone
in the summer. Common
sense dictates that hard yard
work or active sports should
be confined to cooler parts
of the day.
