Youthful drivers in 1963 had the
worst record of any age group in
the United States. Young men and
women under age 25 represent only
about 15 per cent of the nation's
licensed drivers, yet they were in-
volved in more than 29 per cent of
all fatal accidents and in more than
26 per cent of all non-fatal acci-
dents.
Statistics show that 9 out of
every 10 persons suffering with a
virus infection never go to a doc-
tor—they attend the theater.

Here's a list of important boating safety rules gathered by the
Committee of Aluminum Producers to help make weekend boat-
ing a pleasure — not a calculated risk...
Never overload... seating
capacity of a boat is not
the same as safety ca-
pacity.
Always carry life pre-
servers .., one for every
passenger, make sure
children always wear
them.
Other "musts" in safety
equipment...fire extin-
guisher, paddle, lantern,
signal devices, first aid
kit.
Make sure the hull is dur-
able ... it should be punc-
ture-proof, leak-proof,
and resistant to wear.
Aluminum boats afford
maximum protection in
these areas.
Dock the boat carefully
...secure with lines fore
and aft, never step in
with an armload of gear,
use both hands boarding.

Mysteriously Dead Mullet Stirs Probe
AUSTIN—Mysteriously stricken
dead and dying mullet are being
found in the lower coastal bays
from the Roekport area southward
to the Lower Laguna Madre. Mul-
let, primarily used as a bait fish
in Texas, appear to be victims of
a bacterial infection striking only
this species.
Personnel of the Roekport Ma-
rine Laboratory of the Parks and
Wildlife Department isolated a bac-
terium in an almost identical kill
at this same time in 1962. Mullet
again were the only species af-
fected and the bacterium isolated
at that time was also found in an
abundant floating Gulf weed which
was common in the bays. Since
mullet are vegetarians, it is be-
lieved they may contract this dis-
ease in their feeding habits. This
year, however, the same Gulf weed
is not present in the bays.
A very similar bacterium is fa-
miliar to fishery biologists as the
cause of a diseaes found in fresh
water fish in the northern United
States. Not as much is konwn about

H. Pierce, Jr. of 411 Perryman, Pa-

it, however, in the marine environ-
ment.
The stricken mullet have a gen-
erally ragged appearance and are
isluggish in movement. White, fun-
gus-like, areas appear particularly
around the head of the fish.
Biologists of the Parks and Wild-
life Department say that if this
kill is the same as the big kill two
years ago, it poses no threat to
other species of fish or to man.
In addition to the studies being
conducted at the Roekport Labora-
tory, samples of the diseased fish
have been sent to various authori-
ties on fish diseases over the coun-
try. Every effort is being made
to determine the cause of this un-
usual outbreak.
The Little League Champion-
ship of Texas will be decided in
Breckenridge this year commem-
orating the Silver Anniversary of
Little League Baseball. Governor
John Connally of the State of Tex-
as will throw out the first ball and
officiate at the opening of the
Tournament on August 10, 1964.
Speaking at trie home opener of
the National League Houston Colt
,45's where he likewise opened the
Major League season Governor
Connally made these remarks. "The
growth of the Little Leagues in the
past 15 years is ample demonstra-
tion of their value. More than 1,-
250.000 boys participated in the
nationwide program last summer,
and there will be another increase
this year. In 1948 there were 13,-
000 participants.
"The Little Leagues were the
starting point for many major lea-
gue stars, but they are much more j
than a proving ground for baseball
players. They provide healthy com- 1
petition for hundreds of thous- j
ands of boys who go on to become j
leaders in many fields.
"This year marks the 25th anni-
versary of the Little League pro-
gram, which began in Williams- j
port, Pennsylvania, with 54 play-!
ers and has since served more I
than four million youngsters.
"I am looking forward to attend-1
ing the regional championships in
Breckenridge in August, a fore-
runner to the Little League World
