Week-End Rain
Was 3-5 Inch
Rain which fell in the Bartlett
area Friday and Saturday and
was driven away by the norther
Saturday night was guagcd as
three-fifths of an inch by L. W.
Robinson. The rainfall was ir-
regular in various sections and
there were estimates of a quart-
er inch to a full inch in various
areas surrounding Bartlett.
Much more rain is needed to
porvide any winter seasoning to
farm lands suffering from the
dry fall but farmers generally
agree that the rain wilFkeep oats
alive for a while longer perhaps
until a good rain does come.
At least the rain was a moral
booster giving citizens a little
more confidence that rain will
come in time bo make another
crop.

chairman of the 1951 drive and

J
an opportunity to contribute
through the schools
In the 1950 drive Bartlett con
tributed about $650 and the
need is even greater this year
because of the large number of
cases of polio in the state last
year. A new incidence record was
set with 2778 cases reported an
increase of 423 cases over 1949.
Texas had almost one-tenth of
the polio in the nation. The sin-
ister surge swamped Texas facil-
ities. Extra nurses and doctors have
been provided through the Na-
tional Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis. It rushed in respirat-
ors hot packs beds and other
equipment. In three years the
National Foundation advanced
Texas more than $400000 in out-
side cash aid. The crisis has been
so acute that Texas could not
spare even one dollar for desper-
ately needed polio research.
In order to take care of these
obligations to provide tfor the
carry over cases from 1950 and
the large number anticipated for
1951 and to provide funds for
i research more funds than ever
