Cape Town, S. Africa, July 2.i, I'.MH.
Editor, Albany News:
On my recent voyage to South Africa hay li.nl
the pleasure of meeting one of your former lellow
townsmen. John McKelvy, now in the Merchant Ma
rinet. John was born in my own home town of
Abilene, and is acquainted with people and places
familiar to me. This just goes to show that one
can't get far away from people in this little world
of our*.
On this particular voyage, New Orleans to Dur-
ham, 8o. Africa, John haa been serving as our most
gracious and helpful waiter on the S. S. Gibbes
Lykes. He it now a Ull-dark-and-handsome, twenty-
one yeaA old, and has much to say of hi* school
day*, his teacher* and hit friend* in Albany, where
he lived till 1940. And I heard him barely mention
a little girl friend he had left somewhere in Texas.
When I asked John if he ever expected to leave
the sea and go back to school, he said, "No, I don't
guess I ever will." I also asked, "Do you really
think tliU kind of life has a future?" His reply,
"Yes, I think there's a future in it."
I must confess that John spoiled me a bit. He
was very obliging and diligent in bringing me an
early glass of fresh orange juice each morning be-
fore breakfast.
Mrs. Zelma Lawyer,
Kalomo, No. Rhodisia,

FOOTBALL FANS ar* beginning to ask us
about our football predictions for the coming
season. It's too early to do any predicting,
other than to prophesy that the 1948 season is
going lo lie plenty hot in the Southwest Con-
ference. And, too, the Albany Lions, if they
keep moving along as they are now, are going
to make somebody hustle to heal them out. We
are not predicting the Lions will win their half
of this district , . . but we will say if they do
not have some injuries, and if the boys keep
working with their coaches as they ere now,
Albany will be high in the conference ladder.
MAN. THAT'S CLOSF.
(Frank Grimes in Abilene Reporter N'ew i
The thrilling photo-finish race for l.'nited States
i'liator between Lyndon Johnson and Coke Steven-
-on is keeping Texans on tenterhooks, and doubtless
disturbing the sleep of t'lie rival candidates.
It would be next to impossible to divide a million
votes in equal pile.- with greater finesse and impar
tiality than Texas voters accomplished in last' Satur
day's run-off primary.
We believed the race would be close, but nobody
suspected it would be this close. Why, that race
between the Indian and t'he deer wasn't .such a much
for closeness, lifter all!
Well, it will be up to the State Democratic ( on
vent ion meeting September II to say who - won.
For Hie sake of harmony we hope one or the other
conies out with more than a handful of votes t"
spare. It would be awful if the official count
-hows less than a hundred votes separating them. It
probably would lead Hi court action of some sort.
It could* result in the declaration of a tie. and the
ordering of another run-off between them. I he law
provides for that.
It's prettiy nerve-racking on the two aspirant.-.
Kach can think of a hundred counties in which just
a mite more effort on the part of his supporters or
himself might luive turned the ttide decisively.
It's the second agonizing experience for Johnson.
In 1941, his race against W. Lee O'Paniel was in
doubt for days, with Johnson the apparent winner.
Finally, O'Daniel won by l.lill vote

A Healthy Start to School

This month thousands of little
children all over, the country are
starting an entirely unfamiliar
routine of daily life. They are en-
tering scrool for the first time,
faced with a number of adjust-
ments to be made in this change in
their day's schedule.
On the surface, most of them
seem well-prepared tqr the adven-
ture. They have new dresses and
suits, pencil boxes and pads and
even fruit and crackers for recess.
' But, unfortunately, many of them
may not have the sound health so
important to a good start in
school.
Those children whose parents
took, them to a doctor for a thor-
ough medical check-up before the
opening of school and followed any
suggestions the doctor might have
made actually are the best prepar-
ed. Certainly every child should
have a routine physical examina-
tion at' least once a year but it is
' especially important as part of his
! preparation foi* school.
Many doctors believe that the
I time of life when the child is en-
tering school is among the most'
neglected periods of his life. They
j point out that infants and small
I babies are as a rule well cared for
with careful supervision of diet,
protection from disease and acci-
dent and the prescribed periodic
visits to the baby doctor or clinic.
The older child, on the other hand,
"speaks up" when he is not feei ng
up to par.
Usually, it is the child of the
preschool and kindergarten age
whose health is most apt to be neg-
lected. He has advanced beyond
the "baby stage," with its careful
supervision, and yet is not old
enough to help take cure of him-
self.
A child's physical well-being
should be ot special concern to li s
parents at this time. First of all,
many defects or imperfections that
might otherwi e handicap him in
later life, or even shorten his life,
can be detected and taken care of
at this early age. Secondly, the
check-up might injure a happier
school life for the child, cutting
down on the time lost from school
because of illness and enabling
him to study and learn to full ca
pacity with the minimum ol trou-
ble as far as his health is concern-
ed.
For example, children should
have certain protections against
disease - before tiles etilet sthool.
livery child should he vaccinated
before he enters school; most
school- require it. Doctors advi.-e,
