Children can receive free
inununizations at the Wellness Fair
in Nolan River Mall Saturday,
October 2 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The tree immunizations will be
provided by Walls Regional
Hospital and the Texas Department
of Health (TDH) as a part of the
hospital's "Shots for Tots' project.
Walls and the TDH are cooper-
ating in the Shots for Tots project.
Through this project both organiza-
tions are working to provide all
pre-school children in the Cleburne
area proper immunizations.
According to the TDH, less
than 40 percent of the 1,800 infants
in Johnson County will receive
proper inoculations for polio,
diphtheria, tetanus, measles and
other childhood diseases before they
are 2 years old.
"Low cost immunizations ar
already available at the TDH office
in Cleburne," says Ann Hayward,
RN. TDH public health nurse.

' Attorney General Dan Morales’
press secretary Ron Dusek said
there is no conflict of interest
between Bledsoe’s official duties
and his advocacy work, despite
his conducting NAACP business
during regular office hours. His flat
annual salary as assistant attorney
general is $79,860. He is one of
32 employees in the agency who
are paid more than Morales, Dusek
said.
Bledsoe’s main duties for the
agency are to enforce Texas’ open
meetings and open records laws and
to handle human rights issues.

culture Commissioner Jim High-
