Plenty of Holiday
Turkey This Year
COLLEGE STATION —
abundance of high quality
keys at lower prices will
ready for holiday dinners
year.
The supply is adequate to
furnish turkey for every table
at Christmas, according to F. Z.
Beanblossom, extension poultry
marketing specialist. The num
her of birds on the market will
be even larger than last year.
The specialist says with the
abundant supply, families can af-
ford to be selective when shop-
ping for turkey of their choice.
He suggests the shopper look
for quality birds, well fleshed
and finished and processed to
give good flavor. “Don’t waste’
money buying a bird with too
much fat," he advises. "Get a
bird with enough fat to insure
goed flavor.”

‘No Thanks, I’m
Driving’ Popular
“When the smart driver is of-
fered 'one on the road’ he says
‘No, thangs—I’m driving’.'’
This advice came today from
R. B. Reaper of Houston, presi-
dent of the Texas Safety Asso-
ciation, and chief Safety Engi-
neer for Ilumble Oil A- Refining
Company, as he discussed the
holiday traffic hazards program
; being conducted this month by
| the Texas Safety Association,
j The Texas Department of I’ub-
! lie Safety, and the National Safe-
| ty Council.
I “If any driver doubts the wis-
dom of these words,” said T\lf
1 Roaper, “1 ask him to come to
| the local morgue and view some
j of .tiie results of drinking and
■ driving. I believe one such visit
’ would convince any skeptic that
drinking and driving are a fatal [
; combination. _ "■
"It takes strong proof lo con-
j vince some motorists that they
i may not only kill themselves by
j drinking and driving, but also
endanger the lives of innocent
victims.
“According to the National
Safety Council, the driver had
been drinking in one out of five
fatal traffic accidents in this
country in 1953.
“1 know every eit'izen in Tex-
as will agree that this should be
stopped,"
Mr. Roaper pointed out that
in December drinking and driv-
ing become a particularly seri
out problem because of holiday
parties and celebrations.

COLLEGE STATION—Taxes
on Texas farm and ranch lands
were 3.3 percent higher in 1953.
the Iasi year for which records
are available, .than >in 1352.
This was the seve. th year of
consecutive land tax increases,
according to a continuing tax
study being conducted by L I’.
Gabbard,' agricultural economist
of the Texas Agricultural Experi-
ment Station. The average tax
per acre in 194<> was 17.3 cents
and id 1953 it was 27.9 cents.
The absolute tax per acre is
important-to farmers and ranch-
men,, but is not as significant as
the burden of the tax. The bur-
den of-farm and ranch taxes is
shown by a ratio of farm taxes
to farm prices. %

New Type Of
TB Treatment
Saves Girl
AUSTIN—Death was expected
within 24 hours.
The little girl's brain had ceas-1
ed to function. Tuberculosis j
meningitis had brought her to;
an apparently hopeless cohdi-;
tion.
But the child did not die A J
new type of treatment, under
study with the aid of a Christ-
mas Seal grant, staved off death. I
It was too late to preserve tier
eyesight, but she would live.
Tuberculosis meningitis, one!
of the deadliest diseases among
children, is usually the result:
of intimate contact with an adult;
who lias active TB. it strikes I
directly at the brain and spinal;
cord.
The new element in the treat-
ment of this child with tubercu-
losis meningitis was a digestive
juice secreted by the pancreas,
it is trypsin, an enzyme which
lictyis break up proteins in the
digestive process. It was used
by Dr. N. Walchcr nf the liulinia
University Medical Center, • in
dianapoljs, who received a medi-
cal research grant from the Na-
tional Tuberculosis Association.,,j.>
According to Dr Daniel E. i "
Jenkins, chairman of the Texas j
Tuberculosis Association Dos-!
pital Committee, Dr. Walt her is j
one of 4t) investigators current- j
ly being aided in research by j
funds raised through the sale of j
Christmas Seals. Dr. Jenkins of j
Houston, is first vice-president
of the American Trudeau Socie-
ty, the medical section of N I’A-
Dr. Walchcr decided to try
trypsin nt treating meningeal
tuberculosis alter noting that
studies by other investigators
had shown that paralyzed dogs
given the enzyme frequently re-
covered the use of their legs. 11is
hope was that trypsin would dis-
solve the block in the circula-
tion of the spinal fluid, which
can be a serious complication in
meningitis. , ,
Che first patient was the Hi
tie girl whose brain had already
been so seriously affected that
life luing on a thread The di-
gestive enzyme threw its weight
on the side of liftfand fliE'cl'uld,
though blind, is home today, a
year and a half later.
Of 10 tuberculosis meningitis
patients who have received the
trypsin, Dr. Walchcr Iras report-
ed to the NTA Committee on
Medical Research, only one has
died. The value of the enznie,
he stated, appears to lie greater
than that of streptokinase- strep
todorna.se, enzymes which have
also been tried in tuberculosis
miningitis.
