REPORTS
Dear Fellow Tcxans:
Jt is a relief, after working for
eight years for a compr'hensive
medical program for the aged, to
have the Medieare bill passed by
both the House and the Senate.
The bill will now go to Conference
between the two houses for Con-
gress before it goes to the Presi-
dent for signing into law.
Through a sound program of
medical assistance, paid for by the
people duringtheir working years,
our elderly will be able to have
better medical care without having
to spend their entire savings and
income and thus In- forced into
utter poverty by an illness in their!
old age.
The bill wtll provide a basic!
medical program of inpatient
hospital services,post-hospitalcarc
after a person leaves the hospital,
and diagnostic services for the ill j
to tell what is wrong with their;
health. Thisbasic program willbc
paid forbvasmall deduction from
earnings while a person is work- ]
ing. so that they can receive the ;

Quail Crop Linked
To Farm Growth
Producing ;i covey of bnbwhite
quaiis is just like producing any
other fartn crop, says Eioiogist Joe
Davidson of the Texas Parks and
Wiidlifc Department.
To sustain birds, he says, oian to
produce winter food for them, ptan
patterns of escape, roosting, ioaf-
ing and nesting cover, and set a
specific tin-e to do the work.
Divison also advises leaving
t<< brush along fence rows and
streams and the carefully on-
trolled burning of sedge ma^s
areas. Plowing ^iHin-ip produce I
food asitstimulates weed growth.!
^dgocowr produces th(' game !
so travel lanes should connect I
withinotts andthickcts. AlsoJ
Davidson notes, food patches of I
lespedexa. peas and millet and '
many other plants will attract a.<d]
hold the birds.
When spraying or mowing weeds !
