In Texas there are 623 licensed
nursing homes with a combined
capacity of 15,943 beds according to
the latest <|uarterly figures.
Charged with the responsibility
of licensing and keeping a health-
check on these homes is the Divi-
sion of Nursing and Convalescent
Homes of the Texas State Depart-
ment of Health.
To carry out this responsibility
the Division has duties that are
many and varied in addition to be-
ing statewide.
The philosophy guiding the in-
spection of nursing homes is one
of cooperation between home and
agency. Seldom is legal action nec-
essary.
For instance during the last
quarter—June, July and August—
the Division issued 20 original lic-
enses covering new operations; is-
sued four provisional licenses; and
renewed 163 licenses.
During the same period 35 lic-
enses were cancelled. Only in two
instances was it necessary to file
complaints against persons found
to he operating in violation of the
law.
The primary reason for license
cancellation was that buildings cur-
rently in use were sub-standard
and the licensee voluntarily went
out of business.
Some have already re-located in
remodeled buildings, and in two
cases new homes have been com-
pleted and are now licensed and
occupied.
The major work load of inspec-
tion is borne by local health de-
partments, city and county health
officers and fire marshals who ren-
der a vital cooperative service in the
inspection and licensing program.
However, 170 licensed homes arc
located in 87 counties without the
services of a recognized full-time
local health department. This
means the Division field staff must
assume primary responsibility for
keeping these 170 licensed homes
under routine supervision.
In addition the Division receives
daily requests for the inspection of
potential facilities and for the in-
vestigation of illegally operated
homes.
The division is also responsible
for processing and issuing emer-
gency ambulance permits.
NUECES CANYON LIKES
“RIBBON CUTTING” IDEA
The Uvalde Leader News re-
printed our article on "Ribbon Cut-
ting Time in Nueces Canyon" in
the Camp Wood news and the
Camp Wood reporter added the
following:
(O. K. Nueces Canyon Cham-
ber of Commerce lets get busy and
think about this idea. There could
be a possibility that you could get
some backing from the Edwards
County Chamber of Commerce and
make this thing into a big deal.
Most citizens can remember that a
big barbecue and radio broadcast
that was held in Camp Wood on
the completion of highway 337
from Camp Wood to Leakey. Well,
this could be even bigger.)
Mrs. Earl Price and 4 children
returned to their home in Fort
Worth, Thursday. Dr. Price came
to Rocksprings after his family.
Mrs. Price and children spent the
summer here with her mother, Mrs.
John Guthrie.

“Hunters must have special per-
mits to kill doe or antlerless deer,”
warns the assistant director of law
enforcement, Texas Game and Fish
Commission. “There seems to be
some confusion on this subject," he
says. “However, it’s very simple.
If you don’t have a special per-
mit issued by the Commission,
you can’t legally shoot or take doe
or antlerless deer in any county of
the State.”
The general law states that it
is unlawful to kill doe, fawn or
spiked buck anywhere in the
State. However, in regulatory au-
thority areas, in order to maintain
a healthy balance of the deer popu-
lation in those areas, biologists re-
commended that surplus doe and
anterless deer be removed by hunt-
In such instances, landowners or
operators are issued a quota of per-
mits based on deer census reports
and observations by the biologists
and warderts of the Commission.
Hunters then must contact the
landowners and obtain their permits
to hunt doe qx anterless deer.
Permits also will he required of
all hunters who wish to take prong-
horned antelope this season. When
a hunter purchases his privilege
to hunt on a piece of land, the
landowner will give him a per-
mit to hunt and take either a doe
or buck, depending again on the
condition of the herd and biolo-
gists’ recommendations.
"The best thing to do if you are
in doubt about game laws, seasons,
or bag limits,” said the assistant
director, "is to check with your
local game warden before going
hunting."
