LETTER FROM JUDGE
DICE OF BELL COUNTY
"Rppniise of an unusual inci
rlenrp nf tvrthoid fever in Bell
county health workers issue a
warning against persons prpmis-
cuously swimming or arinKip.
water from tanks and streams
which may be polluted.
Dr. E. W. Prothro director
T?ell rnnntv health unit says
that his records show 25 cases
of typhoid in Bell county in the
nnst. two months. Five of these
hove died. Others of the group
may not survive. The first case
in each foci has apparently been
traced to one of these contam-
inated water sources. The
secondary cases are being spread
by flies and personal contact.
"Tim fnmilies involved are as
usual in the lower economic and
arinnnH-innnl bracket. uiten

and other proper treatments aru
impossible. Health workers
promise to post warning signs
at the known polluted water
places if about $10.00 can be

Connally Seeks Loans
For Cotton Farmers
Washington D. C. Senator
Tom Connally addressed the
Senate last week in an effort to
obtain loans for farmers on their
cotton; such loans to permit the
farmer to hold his cotton for a
better price yet have funds to
pay his obligations. '
Believing that the power for
the making of such loans exist-
ed and should be exercised Sen-
ator Connally said "The Com-
mnditv Credit Corporation not
-tinlv has the authority but "has
the money witn wnicn to maite
the loans. The loans ought to be
made -not next vear. but now:
not in October but now because
now is the time when there is
need for them.
"The theory back of the loans
nvnvidpd fnr has heen to make
the loans at such figure as would
tend to stabilize or flatten out
that price over the whole year
rather than to force he farmer
to take the very low price"Vhich
he has to take when he sells his
nnttnn hecausp. at that time he
is in debt and wants to meet his
bank payments and pay the doc
tor and perhaps the preacner
od cettle his store account- He
has tpmeet his payments and
the only way ne nas ui .iiieenmj
is to sell his cotton and sell it
immediately."
When discussion arose of re-
turning to Washington in the
fall to enact a general farm bill;
Senator Connally stated "It will
be entirely agreeable with me to
Graveling of the Schwertner-
Jarrell road will be completed

ed Tuesday by Judge Wesley '
Dice of Bell county.
Mr Killer who has worked

from Judge Dice of Belton:

Mr. G. C. Kuler

Dear Mr. Kuler:
I was in Austin the other day
with Mr. Barnes and we discus-
sed the matter qf placing gravel
on the Scnwertner-Jtsaruett roaa
with Mr. Minter and Mr. Way-
man of the Works Progress Ad
ministration. They stated that
they desired to close this gap in
the road and that the best way
to do it would be to use a Bell
County project Avhich is already
approved and under way. We as-
sured them that we would co-
operate and workjt out in the
near future.
All WPA nwriects in Bell Coun

to do this job before tney ciose
