Gulf States employees have
worked four million manhours
without a lost time injury. This
accident-free period began Dec.
20, 1963. Only one other time in
the nearly 40 year history of
the firm has the four million
record been attained. This was
set Aug. 7, 1962.

Richard pointed out. Gulf
States has reached this record
only four times in its history.
“it gives us great pleasure to
announce this accomplish-
ment,” Richard said. “Such a
record is a symbol of the de-
sire of each of us to avoid the
tragedy of an accident.
“Five million manhours with-
out lost time injury will be our
new goal. With the continued
efforts of each individual, this
goal will be attained.
Barring a disabling accident
in approximately 45 working
days, Gulf States employees
should set a new all-time safe-
ty record for the company.

Scoring in every quarter, the
Panthers of Waldo Mathews
High overran the Wiergate
Panthers 88-0 last Friday night
at Frank Robinson Stadium.
Coach Wesley Shaw’s eleven
scored 15 touchdowns for their
first win of the season.
Leading the scoring parade
were Roscoe Davis and Wesley
Thomas with three TD’s each.
Rudolph White scored twice on
intercepted passes. Richard
Holden also scored twice in the
one-sided affair. Leonard Gar
rett, Bobby Simmons, Charlie
Maze, Mervin Williams and
Lendell Shaw accounted for the
remaining touchdowns.
The Waldo Mathews defen-
sive unit contributed to the
zero part of the score by hold-
ing Wiergate to only two first
downs. The defensive unit had
been rearranged somewhat fol-
lowing the Panthers defeat the
previous week by Lake Charles’
Boston High. This reshuffle ac-
counted for the improvement in
the defense, Coach Shaw said.
Saturday night the Panthers
journey to Jasper for what
may be a deciding game in this
year’s conference race. Jasper
is favored to win the district
title, but a Panther win could
change the whole picture.

Salmonella may sound like
the name of a fish, but it’s real-
ly a class of bacteria which can
cause food poisoning,
If you’ve ever had salmo-
nella-caused food poisoning
and your chances increase eve-
ry year—you’ll not forget the
name.
A nationwide incidence of
9,680 cases were reported in
1962, the last year for which
accurate figures are available.
Infections from salmonellae
are acquired usually by eating
or drinking contaminated food
or drink.
The foods most often impli-
cated are poultry, eggs, milk,
prepared meats, sausage, meat
pies, dried coconut, cake mixes
and custard-filled bakery pro-
ducts which are lightly cooked
and subject to much handling.
Animal foods and fertilizers
are also a possible source of
infection.
Effective control of salmon-
ellosis requires the cooperation
of physicians and health offi-
cials, veterinarians and wildlife
experts, farmers and industri-
alists and, especially the public
as a whole.

He thought he had enough insurance. But nobody
told him how much was enough. Result? He was
sued for many thousands of dollars more than
his coverage.
Could this happen to you? Not if you insure

Also, an independent agent is free to analyze your

College Station, Sept. 30—If
your family managed to save
$600 last year, you’re just
about average.
So says Mrs. Wanda Meyer
Extension Service home man-
agement specialist at Texas
A&M University.
The amount is arrived at by
adding up the year’s increase
in savings accounts, savings
and loan deposits, U. S. sav-
ings bonds and life insurance
cash values, as reporetd by gov-
ernment agencies, and dividing
by the number of households in
the country.
By including just the most
common types of fiancial sav-
ings, the total value of family
savings in the United States
averages about $7,300 per
household. This is the average
for all families—the extremely
wealthy included. The typical
family’s savings are consider-
ably lower, by this measure.
Preliminary results of
ments.
But this is only a small part
of the story. Adequate cooking
of food is one of the most prac-
tical methods of preventing
salmonellosis. Food which is to
be held after cooking should be
kept under refrigeration or else
kept hot. Food which is “just
warm” and held for a period of
time allows the bacteria to mul-
tiply, thus enabling them to
cause infection.
Refrigeration prevents the
bacteria from multiplying but
will not kill them.
Foods of animal origin should
be purchased from sources
which come under official in
spection. This is evidenced by
a stamp or imprinted legend on
the product.
Use sudsy water and disin-
fectants to eliminate the bac-
teria from your work area and
eating utensils.
These precautions may sound
like justJjsD much trouble, but
just ask anyone who has ever
had salmonella and he’ll tell
you it’s more than worth white.

Hi
cinto counties.
Soil conservation district
supervisors and county com-
missioners courts are expected
to co-sponsor the project.
The purpose of the project is
to provide for the orderly de-
velopment, conservation, im-
provement and utilization of
soil, water, trees, plants and
wildlife for the benefit of rural
and urban people.
Hardin County Judge Fletch-
er Richardson discussed the
tentative draft of an applica-
tion which will be submitted to
State Conservationist H, N.
Smith and Gov. John Connally
for approval, prior to submis-
sion to Soil Conservation Ad-
ministrator Don Williams and
Secretary of Agriculture Or-
team to ‘win this one for the
Gip’ we can say, ‘Let’s win this
one for Goldwater and Miller.
In politics as in football, per-
serverance and team espirit de
corps can turn defeat into vic-
tory.And that’s where we're
heading on Nov. 3.”
Chairman of the Go Group
For Miller is Robert A. Dwyer
of Chicago, an investment bro-
ker and long-time stalwart in
the Republican party. His co-
chairman is Joseph I. O’Neill
Jr., of Midland, Texas, who
played varsity football and
baseball at Notre Dame in the
middle 1930's.
58 Are Lodged
In County Jail
During Past Week
Fifty-six were lodged in
Hardin County jail during the
past week, according to Chief
Deputy Dave Rountree. Drunk
and disorderly conduct led the
list with 39 booked.
Others were misdemeanor
DWI, six; felony DWI, three;
three drunk in car; one child
desertion; aggravated assault,
four: affray, five; traffic, two;
minor runaways, two, and one
for contributing to the delin-
quency of a juvenile.
College Station — Brown
Patch, a disease found primar-
ily in St. Augustine grass, will
be occurring soon in many Tex-
as lawns. And homeowners who
anticipate the problem are
urged to take preventive meas-
ures to maintain the natural
beauty of their lawns.
Circular patches of brown
discoloration can be noted in
diseased grass, reports C. Wen-
dell Horne, F.xtension plant
pathologist, Texas A&M Uni-
versity. These will vary in size
from a few square feet to sev-
eral hundred square feet.
Brown Patch, which occurs
in late September and early
October, usually affects only
the leaves, allowing the turf to
recover. However, says Horne,
under some conditions the
crowns can be killed or weak-
ened to such an extent that they
are predisposed to other or-
ganisms. If the turf is killed,
leaf blades will tend to col-
lapse, giving the affected grass
a sunken appearance.
One can differentiate Brown
Patch from some of the other
diseases by the fact that the
leaves are killed and can be
removed easily from the stems.
The pathologist explains that
dark - colored fungal strands
can be observed on water-
soaked leaf sheath when a
magnifying glass is used.
Several fungicides are avail-
able for preventing the devel-
opment of this disease, says
unemployment, provide nublic
and private recreation facili-
ties, reduce floods and water
pollution, improve drainage
and create markets for agricul-
tural products.
After the overall plan is de-
veloped, it is the responsibility
of local people to take leader-
ship and initiative to get local,
State and federal assistance to
work with them to solve prob-
lems and improve the income,
health and welfare of the area.
The sponsors of the project
expect to get the endorsement
of the application by all agri-
cultural organizations, cities,
chambers of commerce, men
and women clubs and sports-
men’s organizations, by Oct. 9.
The application is expected
to be completed by Oct. 15.
Horne. PCNB (Terraclor) and
Acti-dione RZ have given sat-
insfactory control in Texas.
Mercury type fungicides are
also effective but tend to dam-
age grass when the tempera-
tures are high. For best results,
be sure to follow directions on
the label, advises Horne.
Better results will also be
obtained, says the pathologist,
if these chemicals are used as
preventives before a serious
disease condition develops.
Ovferwatering should b e
avoided, especially in the late
evening, says Horne, and low
spots in the lawn where water
may stand should be filled.
