Screwworm Eradication: Ken-
dall County has been very fortu-
nate as up until now there has
not been a confirmed screwworm
case in this county. There have
been a few cases reported in the
counties north and south of us.
Due to the fact that these cases
have shown up, it is very impor-
tant that all producers continue
to check their livestock closely.
In event you find a case of
worms take a sample of these
worms and bring them by the
County Agent’s office, or con-
tact our local inspector who is
Mr. Marvin Kohls. Many produ-
cers have gotten to where they
not not treating open wounds
and by not treating them, they
are leaving a potential target for
the screwworm fly.
Livestock producers in North-
ern Mexico are so pleased with
the reduction in screwworm in-
festations, because of the screw-
worm eradication program, they
are making personal contribu-
tions to keep the project going.
A local cattleman’s association
in Nuevo Laredo in the Mexican
State of Tamaulipas is contrib-
uting $60 a month and the state
association of Neuvo Leon is col-
lecting $10 from each of its mem
bers to help finance ground sur-
vey and inspection activities and
control of screwworm infesta-
tions.
Sterile screwworm flies are
being released in a area of Nor-
thern Mexico encompassing near
ly 250,000 square miles to pre-
vent a buildup of fertile flies
that could migrate into the
areas of the U. S. where the in-
sect has been eradicated. TTie
action has reduced screwworm
problems for Mexican ranchers
as well. Mexico-employed live-
stock inspectors cooperate with
U. S. inspectors in conducting
educational and survey work in
this buffer area. Maintenance
of the live-fly barrier between
the two countries is credited
with keeping the incidence of
screwworm infestations in the
eradication area at an all-time
low for the season. Less than 90
screwworm cases have been re-
ported in Texas during the first
six months of 1964. In the same
period last year, 1,464 infesta-
tions were detected, while 17,-
693 were recorded in 1962. New
Mexica has reported two cases in
1964.

A BISHOP LOOKS AT LIFE
By Everett H. Jones, Episco-
pal Bishop of West Texas.
Life as Offering
In the famous Ely Cathedral
of England there are some old
carved stone pillars which are
so close to a wall that they can
be seen from only one side. But
if you reach your hand around
to the back side you will find
that they are as perfectly carved
on the side which cannot be seen
as on the side which is visible.
It would have been quite possible
for the workman who carved the
stone to have “got by”, as we
saq, with much less care, effort
and struggle if he had paid less
attention to the side which
would never be noticed. But this
pillar was something to be offer-
ed to God, and it had to be pleas-
ing in His sight!
St. Paul, in a notable passage,
urged that all life be lived as an
offering to God: “I beseech you
therefore, brethern, that you
present your bodies a living sac-
rifice, holy, acceptable unto God,
which is your reasonable ser-
vice.” (Romans 12:1).
In life, as in a cathedral, there
are necessary forms of work
that will never be given much
notice or recognition. Indeed, in
even the most famous men there
are many long hours of unknown
drudgery and monotny behind
their achievement. When life is
lived as a daily offering to God
it is unimportant what men see
or what they say; the important
thing is that the work, be it lar-
ge or small, is pleasing to God.
Another reminder the cathedral
builders can give us is that we
cannot offer to God aything less
than our best. In every age it
has been clearly recognized that
only the finest work of artists
and artisans should be used in
the House of God. God does not
expect of any of us more than
he has made us capable of doing,
but on the other hand he is nev-
er satisfied with any work
which He knows is less than our
full potential.
We sometimes think that only
prayer and worship, and other
activities directly related to the
Church are the offerings God
asks us to make. But St. Paul
makes clear that all life is invol-
ved in our worship. Holy offer-
ings can be made by the student
in his classroom, by the mother
in daily round of housework, by
the business man in his office,
by the workman in his shop, or
by the statesman in the halls of
Congress. The distinguishing
mark is not what is done, but un
to Whom it is done.

A columnist gives this defini-
tion of an American: A man,
drinking Brazilian coffee from
an English cup while sitting on
Danish furniture after coming
home in a German car from an
Italian movie, who picks up his
Japanese ballpoint and writes a
letter to his congressman de-
manding that something be done
about all the gold that’s leaving
his country.
THEY’RE ALL POISONOUS
Heard about the man who
wen twith his wife to the moun-
tains for a vacation ? One day he
returned from a hike all scratch-
ed and bruised and told her that
he had met a snake on the trail.
She said, ‘But don’t you remem-
ber, the guide told us that the
snakes up here aren’t poison-
ous.” To which he replied: “They
don’t have to be when they can
make you jump off a fifty-foot
cliff.”
