Victoria, and chairman of an
11-member advisory board for
the Sisters, stated that the
construction of the new Mo-
ther House, Novitiate and Ed-
ucation Center is necessary if
the Sisters are to continue ful-
filling their mission of service
in Texas. “The limited income
accruing from the labor of the
Sisters precludes the under-
taking of such a project un-
aided; hence, an appeal to the
friends of the Sisters is the on-
ly possible solution,” Msgr.
Beck said.
The appeal for funds will be
made in all areas where the
Sisters staff schools and hos-
pitals.
Preliminary work on the
campaign is being completed
and the intensified organization
work will begin on Jan. 8,
Farm Facts
The U. S. Department of
Agriculture points out that
farm real estate taxes were
three times higher in I960
than they were in 1942. In
fact, the rise in these taxes
in the United States (not in-
cluding Alaska and Hawaii)
has been uninterrupted in
the past 18 years.
Because the acreage of
farmland In private owner-
ship has changed little since
1942, taxes per acre have in-
creased In the same propor-
tion as total farm real estate
taxes.
Farm real estate taxes In
the 48 states totaled $1,284
million in I960 This wan 8%
more than the total for 1959.
They increased in every state
except Delaware, where they
remained the same as In 1959.
Since 1945, increases in
farm real estate taxes have
averaged 7%
