We’re that. But much more. We’re part of the nation's

much special equipment for the handicapped as some

R. J. Lee has recently started
construction of a one-half acre
recreation pond on his farm. The
pond will be used primarily for
recreation purposes by the
family. It will be stocked with
fish and a small house will be
moved to the pond site. Due to
sandy soil in the bottom, a layer
of clay was put in the bottom
to stop leakage.

Golden Cr
Area Jails Are
Less Crowded
AUSTIN - Jails in the Golden
Crescent State Planning Region
are less crowded than those in
any other planning region in the
state, according to the report
of a jail survey just issued by
Governor Preston Smith’s Cri-
minal Justice Council.
Education and recreation
facilities in the jails appeared to
be lacking completely, however,
and many lacked other facilities
prescribed by modern jail
standards.
The statistical report was
compiled during 1970 by the
Institute of Contemporarv Cor-
rections and the Behavioral
Sciences, Sam Houston State
University, Huntsville. It just
has been published by CJC.
On the censusdate, March 15,
1970, jails in the region were
housing 38 inmates, 14 percent
of the designed capacity of 266.
Jails in the state;s other 23
planning regions were housing
about 62 percent of their
designed capacity, the report
states.
In the Golden Crescent Region
there are six county and two
city jails. Seven of the jails
reported no recreational or
educational facilities for in-
mates, six no medical facilities
and three no visiting facilities.
Of the 38 inmates confined in
the region on the census date,
18, or 48 percent, had not been
convicted. Ratio of inmates to
foil-time employees regionwide
was 8:1.
Statewide, the survey showed
most jail inmates were awaiting
trial, usually vegetating in cells
without recreation or education
facilities.
Counties in the Golden
Crescent Region are Calhoun,
DeWitt, Goliad, Jackson, Lavaca
and Victoria.

mation on kinds of grass adapted suburbs. They are all inter-
rheumatic fever, and a host of
allied ailments that effect joints
and muscles.
Today arthritis and other
rheumatic diseases are among
the greatest causes of chronic
disability in the United States.
“The total number of victims
is as great as the total population
of the State of Texas,” said Dr.
James E. Peavy, Texas Com-
missioner of Health. “Of the 12
million estimated to be ill, over
a quarter-million are completely
disabled.”
Arthritis and rheumatism
alone cause the loss of more
than 115 million work-days
annually, a figure equivalent to
470,000 persons out of work for
~ the entire year. This amounts
to more than a billion and a half
dollars annually in lost wages.
Arthritis also drains away $200
million in subsistence allow-
ances to arthritics unable to
support themselves, and $200
million in lost income taxes.
Two types of arthritis,
rheumatoid and osteoarthritis,
account for about 70 percent of
the misery from the rheumatic
diseases.
Of every 100 patients who come
to doctors or to clinics because
of rheumatic diseases, it is
estimated that 30 to 40 have,
rheumatoid arthritis, and 25 to 30
osteoarthritis, a type of joint
disease due to wear and tear
and old age. Ten to 20 have
rheumatism of muscles or other
tissues, 7 to 10 arthritis brought
on by injury, and 3 to 5 suffer
from gout. One has rheumatic
fever, 2 have arthritis following
infection with gonorrhea, and 3 to
5 have other miscellaneous forms
of rheumatic disease.
There are many theories as
to the cause of these diseases.
One is infection, but the guilty
viruses have not yet been
identified.
Another is that it is a change
in metabolism — the way your
body uses foodstuffs and carries
on its work. A breakdown in
the complex balance of body
o hormones also is suspected.
According to other theories
it is a disease of blood vessels
in the affected areas, a disease
of the nervous system, an
emotion - spawned or psycho-
genic disease, or some kind of
hypersensitivity or “allergy.’
“Many things are known about
these diseases, but we do not yet
have all the facts. Much more
work and research is still to
be done. The important thing
is to diagnose and treat the
disease early,” Dr. Peavy says.
