ALHAlNY'S CITY COUNCIL watches its money
eloaely . . . and regretted to spend $4,200 this week
•n repairs on the city water tower.
It was found that the 75,000 gallon tank was
Beeping water, and it was recommended that the
plates and rivets be welded. Thi< is being done thin
week. The tank has been cleaned and painted.
The tank is guaranteed for 10 years, so the city
won't have to worry about the big water tank for
the next decade.
J .* i :
AMONG THE INTERESTING THINGS this
weak has been some rain. Albany is still dry
but parts of our community received big rai-i.
I Johania Miller's ranch sis miles east of town re-
ceived 2.0 inches Monday afternoon, and tha
area north ... the Nail ranch and Caldwell
ranch . . . received big water storing rains-
Albany received .28 of an inch.
Since the rain has started, maybe we can get
• big one on the watershed of Lake McCarty.
That fine lake is in need of 10 or IS feet of
water.
J S J J
STILL ANOTHER big improvement is the paving
of the Albany-Ibex farm to-market road. This pav-
ing began last week, and should be completed this
week . . . barring more rains and mechanical trou-
b' This all-weather road will service the east central
Shackelford area. Ride out over this new pave-
ment the first chanci? you get.

MANY ALBANY PEOPLE are stressing
continuing clean-up program through the re-
mainder of May and during June. This sorves
two purposes! I. Will help prevent diseases
2. Will mahe Albany clean and attractive for
the Fort Griffin Fanlangle.

MONDAY MORNING the laid rnrl. on tlie
new Methodid church «i laid. To be exact, it
was at 11 s 15 a. m.
And to be more explicit, the final rock wa
put in place by the paitor, Rev. J. B. Ihomp-

itect, carpenter and rock union tince the church
was started last winter.
Rev. and Mr«. Thomp on are in Lubbock this
week attending the annual meeting of the

church. In view of the fact that Rev. rhonip-

we join Albany in hoping the hithop ee fit to
return him to Albany to complete the new

AUSTIN. "Although we may
not he sick, we may be far from
being well. There is :v great and
vital difference between high and
buoyant health and the health «f
the average person, or of one wno
is only well enough to be out of
bed," Dr. Geo. W. Co*, state
health officer, said today.'
"Unless we have the essentials
of health in our daily habits of liv-
ing, we are as sure to pay the pen-
alty of impaired health, sickness
and early death as we are of
cause and effect in other situa-
ations," Dr. Cox continued. "We
should ask ourselves, 'How long do
I expect to live?' 'How long can I
retain my efficiency, both in work
and play?' 'Do I want to become
incapacitated soon after middle
life?' "
The alternative, according to
Dr. Cox's statement, is to adjust
one's program of living to insure
the fundamentals of health and
thus, barring accidents, keep
young and retain active ef-
ficiency to ah age of 70 to HO, or
more.

Whooping Cough
Often when a child is sick, or
shows signs of becoming sick, a
mother worries out of all propor-
tion to the illness itself. However,
there are a number of so-called
"common tnildhood diseases" that
many regard too lightly. Whoop-
ing cough is one of these. From
thq standpoint of deaths, it fs the
most serious childhood communi-
cable disease. It causes twice as
many deaths as measles and diph-
theria combined-
Any mother who has nursed a
child through whooping cough has
seen the discomfort and exhaustion
caused by the disease. Less obvious
to her are the serious complica-
tions that frequently follow
whooping cough. She seldom real-
izes that the little patient, in his
weakened condition, is an easy
prey for bronchopneumonia, pleur-
isy or even pulmonary tuberculo-
sis.
Years ago parents felt that
whooping,' cough was unavoidable
and resigned themselves to their
child's having it at some time. We
know today that whooping cough
is preventable because there is a
vaccine that will give protection,
and we should take full advantage
of it.
The younger a child is, the more
dangerous whooping cough is apt
to he for him. Three-fourths of
whooping cough deaths occur in
children under one year of age.
For this reason, doctors advise in-
jection- with the immunizing vac-
cine very early in life. Many ad-
vise them at three months of age
or even earlier.
If a young child has been ex-
posed to whooping cough, he
liould be taken to tluf doctor im-
mediately. Kveti if the child ha
already received injection of vac
cine, the doctor may think it ad-
visable to take further measures to
protect him.
The grave ilanp-r of whooping
cough is the fact that it is fre-
quently neglected because it.- first
sign- re-emble those of a cold, and
it is in thi.- tage that whooping
cough i most easily spread. The
characteristic "whoop" doesn't ap-
pear until after the child has been
II for a number of days and, in
fad, omctime.- never does occur.

which might be whooping cough,
he should be placed immediately
under the doctor's care. The doc-
tor i^ the only person qualified to
diagnose the case, prescribe the
proper treatment and watch for
possible complications which he can
take steps to correct.
Severe "whooping" often lasts
six weeks, but the cough may per-
sist and the patient remain weak
for months. Much of the serious-
ness of the disease is due to vomit-
ing caused by the cough, resulting
in malnutrition. The child should
continue to be watched carefully
during the period of convalescence
since his resistance is low and he
is vulnerable to other infection
