COW POKES
Why court disaster needlessly?
An estimated thousand Hondo
pre-school age youngsters are flirt-
ing with mental retardation, pneu-
monia, vision difficultues, ear in-
fection or even death. And they're
doing it needlessly.
That's how many Hondo youngsters
health authorities estimate have not
received free immunizations from
measles.
A free measles clinic was staged
in mid-March by the Medina County
Health Unit, and shots were given
to 435 persons; 399 of whom were
school age children. But while
health officials had hoped for large
numbers of pre-school youngsters, on-
ly a very small number appeared.
Measles have long been consider-
ed a minor disease by Americans
a disease that is more of a nuisance
than any real health threat. But
knowledgable medical men are quick
to point out that measles cannot be
taken lightly; that the disease can
and does have serious consequences.
"Measles is a dangerous disease;
it can cause mental retardation,
pneumonia, vision difficulties, ear
infection or death," Dr. W. S. Duty
has warned.
Since measles immunizations a re
available at the county health unit
office at the courthouse free of
charge, there is no need to flirt
with the dangerous consequences of
measi es.
Hondo parents of pre-school chil-
dren one year or older owe it to
their youngsters, the community and
themselves to take advantage of free
measles vaccine.
Why gamble with children's health
when there's no need to? JDS
Pearlier'* report
Studies educatien report
EDUCATION
The Governor's Re|0ort on Educa-
tion was submitted to the House Com-
mittee on Education last week.
This report recommends consolida-
tion of rural school districts.
During the campaign, my opposi-
tion to such consolidation was clear-
ly statedvAlthough my position has
not changed, it is my intention to
study the entire report before taking
a stand on its other sections.
JUDICIAL DISTRICTS *
Other,House business this past
week included the passage of Rep.
Oscar Carrillo's bill for the creation
of the 229th Judicial District. Al-
though the bill was passed by a sub-
stantial margin, I cast a dessenting
vote.
This bill creates a new j udi c ia I
district in Duvall, Starr and Jim
Hogg Counties. By creating this
particular district, the possibilities
of getting Dimmit County switched
from the 49th District to a district
closer to home has been greatly ham-
pered. y
It is my opinion that rural coun-
ties should be closer aligned in the
judicial districts. This would pro-
vide a better balance in electing
judges. As it now stands, a larger
county, such as Webb, controls the
majority of the votes.
JUROR PAY
While I voted against the crea-
tion of the 229th Judicial District,
Rep. Frank Calhoun's bill increaffng
juror's pay received my support. The
bill raises the daily pay from $3 to
$6.

City queries fax deduction
City officials are trying
to find out what the state
means by a 4.76 per cent de-
duction from Hondo’s sales
tax check.
A check for $9913.61 was
received this week for first
quarter city sales taxes col-
lected. Gross collections were
$10,621.51, and a two per
cent service charge was de-
ducted by the state.
Officials knew about the
two per cent, but what has
them stumped is a deduction
"4.797o retained amount,"
The deduction amounts to
over $500, and Mayor Jerome
Decker has written the state
to find out why the deduction
is made.
"I don’t know what it's for,
and I want it (die money),"
the mayor said.
The city had hoped to re-
alize $50,000 annually from
the city sales tax, and first
quarter collections were be-
low expectations.

Want to Earn More?
A burglar, evidently d i s -
satisfied with a previous
"haul" of $4, broke into the
county tax collector's office
for the second time in a week
Saturday night.
SheriffC,J. Hitzfelder
said someone gained entry
into die office a week ago
Tuesday through an unlocked
window, and took a p p r o x i-
mately $4. Saturday night a
window was broken, and a
would-be thief entered again.
The Saturday trip, howev-
er, was in vain,Hitzfelder
said, since nothing was taken.
However, the burglar did
leave small muddy footprints
behind.
