CALF SCRAMBLE
ROW IS SETTLED
Texas Interscholastic League
officials apparently have the "calf-
scramble" dispute out of their
hair, at least temporarily.
The TIL Executive Committee
meeting here yesterday said that
the calf-scramble, a big drawing
card for the annual Houston Fat
Stock Show, did "not in any way
involve league amateur rules."
Earlier, certain league officials
expressed the idea that any boys
taking part in the scramble would
be competing for an award equal
to money, which would make them
ineligible for league competition.
Committee chairman P. H. Shel-
by of Austin announced last night
that his group had agreed that
the event would not disqualify
participants if these qualifications
were met:
1. The calf be given to the win-
ner only as a care-and-feed pro-
ject. . *
2. The animal may not be sold,
traded or disposed of except by
the consent of the manager of the
stock show and the show's spon-
sors.
3. The calf must be returned
for exhibit at the Fat Stock Show
the following year.
INJURED MOTORIST'S
CONDITION IMPROVES
Hospital attendants at Cleburne
reported Wednesday morning that
John Nichols of Cleburne, son of
Mr. and Mrs. S. L. Nichols of Wal-
nut Springs, who was thrown out
of his car in a crash near Alvarado
Monday, had regained conscious-
ness and was in a favorable con-
dition.
Nichols, driver of a car in which
two other persons were injured,
suffered severe head injuries after
the automobile crashed into a
truck which had broken down on
a highway.
Other occupants of the car,
William A. Scott Jr. of Cleburne
and Miss Vurma Jean Speck of
Dallas, guest at an Alvarado dude
ranch, who were planning to at-
tend a baseball game at Cleburne,
were less seriously injured.
J. P. Cundieff, of Iredell, who
is with the Texas Department of
Public Safety's driver license di-
vision, has been promoted to the
rank of sergeant and stationed at
Huntsville.
MIDDLE AGED SHOULD HAVE
REGULAR HEALTH EXAMS
From a health standpoint, life
after forty generally begins to be
more complicated for the average
individual, than it was in his ear-
lier years. According to Dr. Geo.
W. Cox, State Health Officer, the
principal health foes confronting
people in middle life are heart
disease, cancer, kidney disease,
high blood pressure, hardening of
the arteries, apoplexy, diabetes,
and arthritis.
Middle aged people of today
are healthier than were those of
preceding generations, and the
present generation, when they
reach middle age, should enjoy
even better health than their par-
ents of today.
"Medical care in middle life has
two important phases," Dr. Cox
asserts. "The first is going to
the doctor at regular intervals for
a complete checkup, whether or
not there have been symptoms
that suggest the need for medical
attention. The second is prompt
attention to any illness, since this
may mean the difference between
complete recovery and prolonged
invalidism. It is difficult to say
which of these phases is the more
important."
It has been found that men and
women who faithfully pursue the
habit of regular health examina-
tions and who follow their physici-
an's advice arising from them,
tend to live longer, more satisfac-
torily, and freer from disease than
those who simply take a chance
and go to the doctor only when

pain or disability forces them to
give up their normal activities.
It is also a fact according to
the State Health Officer, that
many diseases of middle age re-
spond to treatment in early stages
whereas if neglected until later,
they often cause chronic invali-
dism or even death.

TURKEY EVERY WEEK
IS THE AIM OF
NATIONAL BODY
Getting turkey on the dinner
table in every home in America
at least once a week instead of
only at Thanksgiving and Christ-
mas is the principal aim of the
National Turkey Federation.
Texas, California and Minnesota
are the three states which lead in
turkey raising. There is nothing
to stop the advancement of the
industry except the lassitude of
those in the industry.
Bosque County is one of the
leading turkey raising counties
and with the modern dressing
plant at Meridian, turkey raisers
will always find a market at Me-
ridian and top prices for all the
turkeys that are raised.

about LIGHT for home study ?
Scientists say that 87% of all that thildren learn
they absorb through their eyes. Their progress
in school and their ability to win advancement
in later life depend to a large extent upon their
eyesight. So don't take chances with your chil-
dren's eyes. Give
them enough
light and the
right kind of light fur safe, easy seeing when
they read or study at home.

BETTER LIGHT MEANS BETTER GRADES
Poor light causes drowsiness, fatigue and eyestrain, makes
concentration on studies difficult. See that the lamp your
children use for home study is equipped with bulbs totaling
at least 100 watts and is well-shaded and free from glare.
Better light means better grades!
