Texas reached a record
high of 3,698 traffic deaths
in the year of 1977. This is
an increase of 14% over
1976. When the final count
is made in 1978, how much
will the increase be?
Remember, there was only
one deathless day in Texas
on its highway in 1977. The
Texas motorists has control
of this figure and no one
else.
Let us all slow down and

W-2 Changes
If you are an employer who
must prepare Form W-2's.
there are numerous changes
this year in your reporting
instructions. You should
have a copy of IRS 1977 Cir-
cular E Supplement. "Em-
ployer's Tax Guide.” This
explains the new annual
reporting to Social Security
instead of the IRS and the
possible use of reporting on
magnetic tape. If you have
computer capability it might
be considerably easier to
utilize this to expedite your
reporting. If not. remember
that the legibility and com-
pleteness of your paper
reports are vitally important
in the accuracy of the
employee’s earnings. This
is particularly true since
beginning January 1979
Social Security expects to
receive 178 million Form
W-2's. Should you care to
obtain any information about
annual reporting, utilization
of magnetic tape, completion
of Forms W-3. or any aspect
of the new regulations,
contact the local Social
Security Office. Any unre-
solved questions should be
clarified as soon as possible
to prevent problems once
you begin your reporting.
Please call if we can help
you in any way.

Brucella Aborts* la Ceyetee
Trappers, wildlife research-
ers, fur buyers, veterinar-
ians, and others with similar
occupations may have a high
exposure risk because of tile
prevalence of B abortus in
coyotes. Brucellosis, a con-
tagious disease of man and
animals, occurs worldwide in
a variety of wild and domes-
tic species. Scientists with
The Texas Agricultural Ex-
periment Station have found
in coyotes significant levels
of the species of Brucella, B.
Abortus, that causes bru-
cellosis in cattle. The role of
carnivores is unknown in the
development and trans-
mission of bovine brucel-
losis. Meat eaters are more
readily infected than grass
eaters in disease areas. It is
speculated this is from
eating abortee fetuses and
membranes though this has
yet to be proved. Domestic
dogs can become infected
and subsequently shed the
germs in discharges, urine,
and feces. Human infec-
tions have been contracted
from infected dogs.
Brucellosis or Bang’s di-
sease still continues to be
extremely high for Archer
County with a number of
herds quarantined.
The proper age for vaccina-
tion is from 2-6 months for
dairy and 2-10 months for
beef calves.
NO COST is involved if the
vaccination is done by an
accredited veterinarian un-
der the fee-based vaccina-
tion program. The veteri-
narian is reimbursed when
the calves are reported to
the Texas Animal Health
Commission.
Any potential herd replace-
ment, beef or dairy, should
be vaccinated. Many states
are requiring that all female
dairy animals entering the
state be officially vaccinated.
All other states require that
all non-vaccinated heifers
over six months be tested
negative.
Producers interested in of-
ficially vaccinating should
contact their veterinarian.
Homemaking
Hints
LOLA REST AND
Lola Hestand
If your budget is in a bind-
particularly around Christ-
mas time (and whose
isn't?)—then plan some
economical menus. Versa-
tile potatoes are a good food
to include.
Potatoes appeared for the
first time in modern history
in the chronicles of a Con-
quistador about his con-
quests during 1537 in Peru.
He called his discovery
"truffles,” describing the
plant as one with "scanty
flowers" of a dull purple
color and flowery roots of
good flavor.
Potatoes arrived in Europe
in 1565 as part of a shipment
of New World crops and
curiosities sent to Philip II of
Spain. The potato's round-
about migration to our
shores is not too well docu-
mented but is believed to
have occured in 1719, when
they were brought to New
Hampshire by Irish settlers.
Today, potatoes rank as one
of the principal foods for the
whole world.
Take advantage of the
plentiful supply of this ver-
satile food, which can be
used to make an excellent
sidedish or even main
course.
When shopping, be sure
the potatoes are fairy clean,
firm and smooth with regu-
lar shape so there won’t be
too much waste in peeling.
Avoid potatoes with wilted,
wrinkled, soft dark areas,
cut surfaces, or with a green
appearance. Also choose
potatoes of uniform size for
even cooking. Medium
potatoes run about three to a
pound.
To keep potatoes as long as
possible, store them in a
cool, dark place that’s well
ventilated. At room temper-
ature, potatoes will keep
well for one week; at ideal
temperature. 45 to 50
degrees, potatoes will keep
well for several weeks.
Looking for something new
for dinner. Tories usually
are for deserts, but here’s
one you can serve for a main
dish.
Potatoes Torte
Paprika
'/» pound Swiss cheese,
shredded (2 cups)
'/« cup butter or margarine,
cut into small pieces
1 Tbsp. salt
'/« tsp. coarsley ground

About 2 hours and 45
minutes before serving,

F. Generously grease a
deep 2-quart casserole or
ovenproof mixing bowl;
sprinkle lightly with paprika.
On waxed paper, combine
cheese, butter or margarine,
salt and pepper.
In casserole, arrange a
thick layer of potatoes:
sprinkle with some cheese
mixture. Repeat layering,
keeping layers thin, until all
potatoes and cheese mixture
are used. Cover caxserole.
bake 1 hour and 30 minutes
or until potatoes are fork

invert both; lift off casserole.

sley. With sharp knife, cut

onions in a cool, dry place.
