CONGRESSMAN
CLARK W. THOMPSON
\ till TKXAS DISTRICT
The passing of Mr. Sam grieves
me beyond expression. Mrs. Thomp-
son and I had no dearer friend. He
took us to his heart when we first
went to Washington many years
ago. He has guided our footsteps
ever since.
I turned to him for help as I
would to a beloved older brother.
He was never too busy to lend an
ear to my problems and to ad-
vise me with the greatest of care
and consideration. I suppose that
during his nearly 50 years of ser-
vice in the Congress, Mr, Sam
influenced the careers of more men
than anyone in the history of the
nation. I believe that every success-
ful Member of Congress whom I
have known would say very freely
that somewhere along the road Mr.
Sam had extended to him a help-
ing hand. This, I believe, is one
great secret of his phenomenal suc-
cess through the years. He was in-
tensely loyal to his friends. They
were loyal to him.
Many times, over the years dur-
ing which I have known him as the
Presiding Officer of the House, I
have taken note of his absolute
fairness to both political parties.
This trait is frequently remarked
upon by leaders of the Republican
Party.
Mr. 3am died as he would have
wished, still holding the place in
public life which, to him, was a
far higher honor than any other in
the nation. IMany years ago, he had
set for himself the goal of becoming
Speaker. I am glad that to the end
of his life he remained the Pre-
siding Officer over the House of
Representatives which, he often
said, was his life and his love.
The Congress and the nation will
never be able to replace this wise
leader but those who are destined
to follow in his footsteps will
merely strive to pattern their work
after his.
Mrs. Thompson and I are deeply
grieved for ourselves. IWIe are
grieved, too, for the nation and for
the free world which has lost its
greatest inter - national balance
wheel.

it’s neat.

Figures revealed by fifa
Department show wh*t wanAs.S

developments for which wet
be particularly thanfcf»8 wt
Nearly one-half uriUIvn
healthy babies were ban* tm‘
parents during the two.
between September 1, 1958 nub
August 31, 1960. This arfefe f> to'
an average of 682 bal*«s iiSwrjj
each day.
Only 151,000 Texans died dxrtEj'
the same period: a ratio of awn*
than three births to every deatfe
The excess of births over <fcacffts
during the two year period addec
some 347,000 to the State’s pop [Ra-
tion. That increase combined with
newcomers now making their hone
in Texas swelled the popufatiam to-
9.5 million.
During the last 25 years, deaths
during the first year of life base
dropped from 71 per thoiisand to
less than 29 per thousand. Ami
maternal deaths have dropped firms
6.9 per thousand to a ratio of 0.3
per thousand.
In addition to pointing oat that
our infants and their mother* km
a better chance of surviving Own
ever before, these figures bring: to
light one other important develop-
ment. Man’s longevity has tern
greatly increased. We now iw
longer and have the opportanity
to see more life giving and life
saving development in Hie
and medical fields. And for thmi
should also be thankful.

MYSTERIOUSI
This is a Caduccus. Ages ago ft
was the symbol of the Greek god
of healing and was at one time used
at the top of prescriptions. Army
medical officers wear this synAai
as a collar ornament today.
Druggisrts no longer use this
symbol but it still has a meaning
for the thoroughly trained pharm-
acists in our prescription depart-
ment. It stands for our n-s[>orisibil-
ity to the public which we serve
faithfully in times of health ami
sickness.
