Texas is lacing a severe
shortage <* health workers
In almost every health field,
and the shortage Is expected
to mushroom to critical pro-
portions by 1960. Texas
State Department of Health
officials and private health
authorities are voicing in-
creasing concern over the
shortage and Its effects on the
health care available to
Texans in the 1970's.
The severe shortage of
health workers in Texas is
outlined In a recent survey
conducted by the Texas
Health Careers Program
of the Texas Hospital Asso-
ciation in cooperation with
the Governor’s Office of
Comprehensive Health Plan-
ning. “The survey leaves
little doubt that a critical
shortage exists right now in
an industry vital to the wel-
fare of every man, woman and
child in the State,” said Dr.
James E.Peavy, Texas Com-
missioner of Health.
In fact, at a time when
Texas unemployment rates
are very high, nearly 18,000
jobs in the health fields re-
main unfilled.
The study showed some
136,992 allied health pro-
fessionals and technicians
were at work in Texas in
1970, but jobs were avail-
able for an additional 7,364
people. In 1971, that fi-
gure jumped to 17,700 un-
filled positions.
By I960, health officials
estimate more than 52,000
allied health personnel above
and beyond existing require-
ments will be needed to meet
health demands of Texas’
burgeoning population.
STATE AID EXTENDED-
Dallas received more than,!
$2.3 million and Muleshoel|
$51,168 in state matching]
fund loans to help pay for
new wastewater treatment
facilities construction.

speaker) is not an emergency
of that Importance. The
speaker has very little to do
between sessions, anyway.”
The Governor pointed out
that a U. S. Supreme Court
ruling may Invalidate politi-
cal filing fees and create an
emergency demanding a spe-
cial session early in the year.
A lawsuit attacking the old
filing fee structure is pend-
ing in the Supreme Court A
new suit challenged the
1971 filing fee law last week.
“It is entirely possible we
will have to call a special
session soon after January 1
If the filing fees are held
unconstitutional,” Smith
commented at a news con-
ference.
July 1 (after the second
primary) would be about the
latest date for summoning
a session that could pass a
budget Mil by September 1
The shortage may be evea
greeter than these figures
indicate. The survey called
upon employers to list the
number of budgeted vacan-
cies in their Institutions.
But in many cases, employ-
ers do not budget for work-
ers who are not available.
In addition, these figures
do not reflect private In-
dustry and private labora-
tories or lesser employ-
ment categories.
In assessing bow such
gigantic needs are being
met, Dr. Peavy noted that
457 allied health education
programs throughout the
State are turning out in-
creasing numbers of grad-
uates.
But the supply, in all
cases, continues to be out-
distanced by demand.
Hardest hit by current
shortages are the State's
hospitals, which accounted
for 4,448 needed person-
nel, or 60 percent of all
budgeted vacancies In 1970.
Hospital officials estimated
6,301 workers were needed
this year.
The greatest need for per-
sonnel, the survey disclosed,
is In the field of nursing.
Some 4,700 jobs for re-
gistered nurses, licensed
vocational nurses, aides and
orderlies went begging last
year (two-thirds of all the
budgeted vacancies In 1970.)
Another 6,514 became
available In these areas In
1971.

CLAUD RUMAGE
MRS. MASON COPE
Will Three Days Snow

By JAMIE PRICE
rain makes it treacherous.Slow
down until heavier rain washes
the film away or until the road
dries out entirely.
Pay strict attention to “men
working” and “road construc-
tion ahead” signs and get your
s|>eed down and car well under
control.
Studies of traffic accidents
involving children show that
youngsters who live in the
suburbs are not as traffie-wi:,e
as those in the cities. A child
playing should be a vivid cau-
tion sign to a motorist any-
where.
Some of the “oldttmers’’
say that if ice stays on
the ground for three days,
before the winter is over an-
other snow storm will follow.
The question was “Do you
believe in this and do you
think we are in for an icy
winter?"
Mable Campsey answered,
“I have beard at that saying
but I don’t really go by it
I go by if it clears off at
night, the weather is going
to change. I feel sure that we
will have another ice storm
this winter. 1 don’t really pay
much attention to the weather.
I watch it on television and
they all get in arguments over
the weather so I just figured I
know as much as they do. I
just stay with my embroidery
and let the weather go by.”
Claud Rumage replied, “I
have beard the saying about
ice staying on the ground for
three days and 1 suppose It is
true. But I always know the
weather is going turn bad by
the Sewell oil pump. I can
hear that pump four miles
away when the weather is
going to change. Monday
morning 1 heard the pump
and 1 mentioned it to Dr.
Wilson. Sure enough,Tues-
day, Wednesday and Thurs-
day ice was on the ground.
This Icy weather is the kind
we should be having because
it gets the winter over
and will make a pretty spring.
1 prefer warm weather be-
cause that is when I like to
work out in my pasture. I
will be glad when spring
gets here!”
Mrs. Mason Cope said,
“I hope that saying is not
true and 1 rather doubt if
it Is. We may have another
storm because winter has
only begun, but 1 hope not
because 1 prefer the warm
weather.”
