Total Effort Urged
During 1967 Easter
Seal Society Appeal
Dallas. — Stanley Marcus of
Dallas, began his chairmanship
of the 1967 Easter Seal Appeal
in Texas by urging a total ef-
fort on the part of every Texan
to do his part in the Easter
Seal Society’s campaign to
combat crippling in children and
adults.
“We can take our choice here
in Texas,” Marcus said. “We
can either provide services
while children are young and
treatable to prepare them for
independent lives, or ignore the
problem and let them grow up
to become dependent adults, re-
lying on our tax-supported pro-
grams to keep them in depen-
dency.”
Marcus, president of Neiman-
Marcus of Dallas, Fort Worth,
and Houston, was appointed
Easter Seal Appeal Chairman
by Robert W. Milam, M.D., of
McAllen, president of the Eas-
ter Seal Society for Crippled
Children and Adults of Texas.
The Easter Seal Appeal runs
February 20 through Easter
Sunday, March 26.
As Appeal Chairman, Marcus
joins with comic Jimmy Duran-
te, National Appeal Chairman,
and 223 Easter Seal Appeal
Chairmen across Texas who are
taking part in the largest ap-
# * $
peal ever staged by the Texas
Easter Seal Society.
“The problem of crippling
grows larger every year because
one baby in every 16 born alive
comes into the world with a
substantial physical, mental or
chemical defect, thus adding an-
nually to the ranks of the handi-
capped,” Marcus added.
“In addition, thousands of
persons are permanently dis-
abled each year by accidents,”
he added. “About five percent
of all long-range disability cas-
es result from on-the-job acci-
dents and another five percent
from home and traffic acci-
dents.”
“The Texas Easter Seal So-
ciety currently is helping pro-
vide treatment and services for
over 16,000 crippled children
and adults. It helps support 23
centers where services are pro-
vided regardless of ability to
pay,” Marcus said. “The Texas
Easter Seal Society seeks to
enlarge its program to provide
the best in rehabilitation serv-
ices to as many people as pos-
sible. To do this, the 1967 Ap-
peal must be the most success-
ful in the Society’s history,”
Marcus added. “With the help
of every Texan, I’m sure we
can do this.”

DRIVER EDUCATION
NEEDED
All young drivers in Texas
should have an opportunity to
get driver education, and Gov-
ernor Connally is right in ask-
ing the next Legislature to start
a program to make this pos-
sible, according to “Texans for
Traffic Safety.”
Refugio. — Superintendent of
schools R. L. McDonald and Al-
vin Stanchos, chairman of the
liigh school social studies de-
partment, were in Victoria
Wednesday, February 8, meet-
ing with officials of the Texas
Education Agency and repre-
sentatives of area public
schools. The meeting was held
to review proposed changes in
the social studies curriculum in
Texas public schools.
The TEA recommended that
the present sequence of history
studies in grades 1-6 be revised
to teach local and United States
history before students are ex-
posed to world history. The
present sequence introduces
history of other lands in the
fourth grade and the fifth grade
studies American history.
Proposals in the secondary
schools would add world history
as an alternate to world geo-
graphy in the ninth grade. Now
the world history is sequenced
in the tenth grade.
The present form of U. S.
government curriculum would
be altered to delete some tradi-
tional material and replace it
with studies in American citi-
zenship.
The TEA is in the process of
meeting with school adminis-
Woodsboro.—The 1967 Easter
Seal Appeal will open in Re-
fugio County on Monday, Feb-
ruary 20, according to Jack J.

MORE THAN 1 MILLION
ACRES OF COTTON
ALLOTMENTS
TRANSFERRED
BY GROWERS
Cotton allotments of about 1
million acres have been trans-
ferred by cotton farmers to oth-
er cotton farmers in the same
county and in other counties
within the same State under the
allotment transfer provision of
the food and Agriculture Act of
1965.
The allotments are shifted
either by sale or lease to an-
other grower, or be transferred
by an owner from one farm to
another owned or controlled by
the farmer making the trans-
fer.
According to a preliminary
report issued today by the U.S.
Department of Agriculture,
some 10,035 cotton farmers have
sold all or part of their allot-
ments, 74,855 cotton farmers
have leased allotments for one
or more years, and 3,727 own-
ers have transferred allotments
to other farms under their con-
trol. This total of 88,617 farm-
ers transferring this year com-
pares with about 97,000 farm-
ers who transferred about the
same amount of allotment acre-
age in 1966. In addition, release
and reapportionment of 1967 al-
lotments will be made as in the
past within closing dates es-
tablished by State ASC com-
mittees.
Under the sale or lease ar-
rangement the grower sells or
leases his allotment for what
it will bring. Under the sale ar-
rangement the purchaser ac-
quires the allotment on a per-
manent basis.
In the State of Texas, pro-
ducers sold 46,139 acres, leased
293,612 acres, and transferred
24,187 acres.

Hinkle who serves as Easter
Seal Representative for the
county. Mr. Hinkle said that
Easter Seal Appeal letters
would begin arriving at homes
in the county about March
first.
As Easter Seal Representa-
tive he is the person to con-
tact to request rehabilitation
services from the Easter Seal
Society for Crippled Children
and Adults of Texas. These
services include physical and
occupational therapy, speech
and hearing program and spe-
cial information services to help
solve the many problems faced
by the families of handicapped
children and adults.
Special emphasis is being giv-
en in 1967 by the Easter Seal
Society in Texas to locating dis-
abled children and adults who
may need habilitation services
and do not know where they
are available. Anyone who
could benefit from treatment
and services offered by the
Easter Seal Society can con-
tact Hinkle at the First Na-
tional Bank of Woodsboro,
Woodsboro, Texas.
The Easter Seal Society was
established to assist disabled
persons and their families in
finding and making effective
use of all resources which will
be helpful to them in develop-
ing their abilities and living
more useful lives. The Society
helps support 23 treatment fa-
cilities where crippled children
and adults are treated regard-
less of their ability to pay.
Wheelchairs, walkers and re-
lated services are provided to
those who cannot provide for
themselves.
The representative said the
Easter Seal Society depends on
the annual Easter Seal Appeal
to finance this program of re-
habilitation in Texas. He urged
county citizens to increase
their support of the Easter Seal
Society, and its program to help
crippled children and adults.
