One of these is Rocky Mountain
Spotted Fever, which, despite its
I ame. may be found in any part of
the country, particularly during
the summer months. The disease is
transmitted from animals, to man
by ticks—which means that those
who go on hunting trips are espe-
cially likely to come in contact
with it.
Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever
can—be very serious. Before the
advent of the antibiotic drugs it
was sometimes fatal, but since that
time the death rate has dropped
sharply. Cases have been reported
in which patients treated with ter-
ramycin showed a disappearance
of symptoms within 48 hours after
the antibiotic was given.
In any event, health authorities
recommend that wherever,you go
on vacation you determine the lo-
ration of the nearest physician-
just in case.

BACK TO TEXAS
After adjournment, I hope I can
spend a few days looking after
things on my farm near Johnson
City. During the Fall, I expect to
do quite a bit of traveling over
Texas. I want to discuss matters
with as many Texans as possible.
I hope I have a chance to visit
with you—and you—and you.

permitting, they will be resumed,

Sewing Creative
T ADIES who are nimble with
1 a thimble can be creative, too.
Once their learning days are past,
there’s no law that says they must
stick scrupulously to pattern de-
tails.
On the contrary, once the basic
—principles of sewing have been
mastered, the home seamstress
can become adventuresome with
fresh ideas. By doing so, she can
enjoy the task of putting together
garments all the more, and enjoy
the real creativeness of sewing, as
was intended.
