Vital Tips for Parents
On Avoiding Dog Bites
By WALTER C. ALVAREZ, M.D
Of late, Dr. H. M. Parrish has
been doing excellent work on ani-
mal bites. In a recent paper he,
with Drs. Frank B. Clark, Du-
and Brobst and James F. Mock
(Public Health Reports) made a
study of the 611,500 people in the
United States who, in 1957, were
bitten by some animal. Dog bites
were by far the most common.
Three out of four of the persons
bitten were children and teen-
agers. Dr. Parrish and his asso-
ciates make several good suggest-
ions which thoughtful parents
ought to remember. First, he
pointed out that it is well not to
give a dog to a child under six
years of age.
Time and' again, I have watched
a child of four or five mauling a
dog so badly that I marveled
that the animal did not retal-
iate. Eighteen per cent of the
bites are suffered by small child-
ren who were greatly annoying
their pet and did not have sense
ehough to quit when it growled
to show that it “had enough.”
(2) If you give your child a dog
try to teach him not to abuse or
tease the animal. The other day
I saw a toddler hurt a dog bad-
ly by sticking a piece of wood
into the animal’s eye! (3) It is
sometimes dangerous to get a
dog excited by running with him
or riding a bicycle alongside of
him. Ten per cent of dog bites
are due to getting a dog so ex-
cited that he doesn’t know what
he is doing.
(4) It is well not to startle a
dog while he is feeding, and one
must not try to take his food
away from him. Also, one must
not interfere in a dog fight. Ten
per cent of bites are due to for-
getting these injunctions. (5)
Watch out when, trying to help
an injured or sick animal I,
myself, once barely escaped be-
ing bitten when trying to help my
own, dog when he had been run
over in, the street. He was in
such agony that when I came
close he snapped at me. We

should teach children, not to take
pups away from a mother dog.
(6) It’s a good thing not to place
one’s face next to a strange dog’s
muzzle Many a child who did
this got a disfiguring facial
wound. Young dogs are more
likely to bite than are older dogs.
Many a time I have marveled
when a friend insisted on keeping
a dog that often tried to bite the
postman and attacked every de-
livery man who came to the
house. To keep such a dog is only
to invite a damage suit. A friend
of mine had a wonderful dog,
a great big lovable Alsatian,, but
the dog had to go because of one
bad habit: He had to dash at
everyone who went by on a mo-
torcycle, and since he was so
powerful, he sometimes caused
the rider to take a nasty spill.
After several threats of damage
suits, my friend gave the dog
away.
As Dr. Parrish and his asso-
ciates say, all dogs ought to be
immunized against rabies. Es-
pecially when rabies is epidemic,
a dog ought not to be allowed to
roam at large through a city.
For a long time we doctors
have thought that most children
with cerebral palsy must have
suffered injury to the brain while
they were being born. Perhaps
they took too long a time to be
born, and during this interval the
brain didn’t get enough oxygen.
But for some time geneticists
have been noticing that in some
families there are two or more
children affected with the disease,
and this strongly indicates a
familial tendency. Recently, Dr.
Johanna Blumel of Galveston re-
ported a genetic study of 100 chil-
dren with cerebral palsy, seen at
the Moody State School, and
found 15 famihes in which two or
more children were spastic. In
one case a brother and sister
not cnly had identical forms of
cerebral palsy, but they also had
congenital cataracts. '
Interestingly, some of the spas-
tic children, were found to have
abnormal chromosome counts. The
chromosomes are the little skeins
in the nuclei of the cells which
contain the genes. These genes
determine how the child is to
grow. Normally, there are 46
chromosomes, but every week
now, children with some heredi-
tary disease are being found to
have 45 or 47 chromosomes in
their cells. Geneticists are be-
coming much in.tereted in the
way in which pn abnormal num-
ber of chromosomes can produce
an abnormal child—perhaps a
Mongoloid. These studies are
opening up a whole new field1 in
medicine.
Recently, Dr. Seymour H. Rinz-
ler, of New York City, reported
that with a “prudent diet,” one
can reduce the level of cholester-
ol in the blood and maintain it at
normal over considerable period
of time. Among the stout men
studied there were 111 who, in
six weeks, lowered their serum
cholesterol level from an average
of 261 to an average of 225 mgs.
Similar drops were obtained in
the cases of men, with a normal
weight.
Now, the question is whether
this lowering of the blood choles-
terol will do the men much good.
Not all students of the subject
are agreed about this. Most agree
that among certain races of peo-
ple who eat but little fat of ani-
mal origin, and who, on the aver-
age, have a low blood cholesterol
—down around 175 mg. — the
incidence of heart attacks is low.

DOVES BECOME SCARCER;
BASEBALL SEASON NEAR END
By BILL SCHWARZ
Taylor Press Staff Writer
THE REPORT ON dove hunt-
ing in the area is still the same.
They’re scarce.
Matter of fact, it appears there
are fewer here now than there
were when the season opened
Sept. 1. There have been only a
few reports of seeing good' flights
of doves on certain outings. Re-
turn trips to the same area fail
to produce the same situation.
THE 1960 MAJOR league base-
2 to 1 Win
Gives Tulsa
TL Crown
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Tulsa Oilers, with the Tex-
as League baseball championship
tucked safely away, turn now to
the second Pan American Asso-
ciation series which opens Tues-
day.
Tulsa nailed the crown, their
first since 1949, Thursday night
by tripping Victoria’s Rosebuds
2-1 in 10 innings. The triumph
gave the Oilers a three - game
sweep of the best-of-5 series.
The victors take on, the Mexi-
can League champions, the Mexi-
co City Reds, in a best-of-7 ser-
ies. The playoff opens with three
games at Mexico City and then
moves to Tulsa for whatever re-
maining games are needed to de-
cide the title.
Harry Keister supplied Tulsa
with its big hit Thursday night,
slamming a bases-loaded* single
in the bottom of the 10th to send
in the winning marker. There
were two outs when Keister col-
lected his decisive single.
The victory was Tulsa’s fifth
straight of the playoff. The Oilers
defeated San Antonio 3-1 in the
first round.
Big Fish
Down Deep
Says Champ
AUSTIN Iff) — The top Texas
bass fisherman is a big letter
carrier who believes that if you
want to catch big fish then get
down deep.
Murray Muston, the 1960 state
champion, is almost exclusively
a bottom-of-the-lake fisherman.
Muston won the honor in this
year’s state bass tournament,
which was held on Lake Whitney
and attracted 310 of the finest
fisherman in Texas, representing
45 cities. He wound up with more
bass for his two days of fishing
than any one else, totaling 20
pounds 2 ounces.
Muston and George Raven, an-
other mailman from Austin, took
the team championship with 38
pounds, 5)4 ounces. *
Raven finished second to Mus-
ton in the Individual running,
with James Womack, Dallas,
third.
It was a deserved victory for
Muston, who has been installed
as the favorite of favorites for
this years’ meet. The man has
had an amazing success story
on bass during the last two or
three yearis.
Muston is a jig and eel fisher-
man. He uses a standard bass
pork rind, and a jig or weedless
hook to haul out big fish off the
bottom of the lake.
“There are several methods of;
using the pork rind eel,” Murray
says, “but the most successful
way I have found is with the
jig. The jig and eel will work at
any depth, but experience will
teach you that the big boys stay
deep.”

Charles Goodnight, Empire Builder
"Live and let live.. except cattle thieves!”
Back in the stalwart seventies cattle herds and cattle thieves were the fastest growing
crops in Texas. Then Charles Goodnight declared war on the latter and, with some
like-minded friends, organized the Panhandle Stockmen’s Association. Those of
the bandit brotherhood who didn’t hit the trail out were soon decently interred,
one by one.
Goodnight was always a cattleman and only incidentally a lawman, but he served
Texas well. Born in Illinois, 1836, his 21st birthday found him in Palo Pinto
County, a Texas Ranger and Indian Scout, and starting his first herd. By 1865
he had more cows than he could sell thereabouts, so he and a friend, Oliver Loving,
drove them to New Mexico. The route they marked became the well-worn
Goodnight-Loving Trail. By 18>7 he and a partner, John G. Adair, established
the JA Ranch and in time rah a hundred thousand cows on a million Panhandle
acres. There they introduced Hereford bulls and developed one of the nation's finest
herds. He also developed the cattalo, breeding buffalo to Polled Angus cattle.
After 93 colorful, active years Charles Goodnight died in 1929.
P
The good citizen and the lawman have always possessed
the courage and good judgment to uphold justice and
keep the peace. We need that now . . to keep our good
life and liberty. When an industry provides employ-
ment and enjoyment for so many, it "belongs.” In
Texas, "Beer Belongs." The United States Brewers
Foundation is constantly at work, with brewers, whole-
salers and retailers, to assure the sale of beer and ale
under pleasant, orderly and law-abiding conditions.

ball season is rapidly coming to
a close. Of course, the best race
is in the American League where
the Yankees and Orioles are vir-
tually deadlocked for the lead
and the last year pennant win-
ners, Chicago, just 2 games out.
The White Sox will have to
depend on someone else to knock
off the leaders as they have fin-
ished their schedules with both
the Yanks and Orioles. They’ve
got only 12 games remaining on
their schedule, including tonight’s
game at Detroit opening a four-
game series. After that they play
one game with Kansas City at
home, go to Cleveland for a 3-
game series, and then close out
at home with a single game with
Detroit and a 3-game series with
Cleveland.
The Yanks and Orioles, with
only one percentage point separat-
ing them, open a crucial 4-game
series tonight in New York. Eith
er team could virtually win the
pennant by a sweep while a split
could put things in a virtual 3-
way tie should Chicago manage
to win its series with Detroit.
At any rate, this is the big
weekend for the American Lea-
gue race.
After their big series, th'e
Yanks play 2 with Washington,
go to Boston for 3 games, then
to Washington for 3, before re-
turning to Yankee stadium for a
3-game series with Boston to close
the season.
Baltimore will move from New
York to their home stadium for
2 games with Boston and then
go on the road to close out their
schedule. It includes 3 games at
Washington, 2 games at Boston,
and 2 additional games at Wash-
ington. All play their last game
Sunday afternoon, Oct. 2.
In the National League the
Pittsburgh Pirates appear to
have it all wrapped up, although
they’ve been losing laitely.
Still they have a 6*4 game bluge
over the second place St. Louis
Cardinals.
The two teams will not play
each other again this season.
The Pirates have 11 games to
play. They open a 3-game series
at Cincinnati tonight, go to Phila-
delphia for a single game, to
Milwaukee for 3, and then return
home to close out with a single
game with Cincinnati and a 3-
game series with Milwaukee.
The Card's have 15 games re-
maining. They complete their
home stand with a 3-game series
with San Francisco opening to-
night, followed by 3-games with
Los Angeles. They then go to
Chicago for 3, to Los Angeles
for 3, and a final 3 games at
San Francisco.
The World Series opens Oct. 5.

Dallas, Oakland
Seek First
Wins Tonight
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Dallas and Oakland, each a los-
er in its first official start, meet
at Oakland tonight to open a
four-game weekend schedule in
the American Football League
The New York Titans and the
Boston Patriots, originally sched-
uled to play tonight, postponed
their game at the Polo Grounds
in New York until Saturday night
so as not to conflict with the New
York-Baltimore baseball game at
Yankee Stadium.
The other two encounters bring
together Los Angeles and Houston
and Denver and Buffalo Sunday
afternoon.
The Dallas Texans, pre-season
favorites in the new league,
were upset in their opener last
Saturday by Los Angeles, 21-20.
Oakland lost to the Houston Oil-
ers last Sunday, 37-22.
Both clubs shov/ed good passing
attacks in their first starts. Cot-
ton Davidson threw the ball well
for Dallas, with Abner Haynes
and Chris Buford snaring it ex-
pertly. Oakland uncovered a good
passer in Tom Flores, but was
weak in rushing and’ pass de-
fense.
Coach Sammy Baugh of the Ti-
tans was optimistic for the future
of his team after its 27-3 victory
over Buffalo in a muddy game
last Sunday. Quarterback A1 Do-
row, fullback Pete Hart and half-
back Don Maynard were particu-
larly effective on, offense.
Boston, after an impressive ex-
hibition showing, lest to Denver
13-10 in its opener last Friday.
The Patriots’ attack is based on
the passing of Butch Songin.
The Los Angeles Chargers
came from behind to defeat Dal-
las last week as Jack Kemp
completed 24 of 41 passes. Hous-
ton’s veteran George Blanda
threw four touchdown passes in
the victory over Oakland. He also
kicked four extra points and a
field goal.
Buffalo hopes to bounce back
from its setback at the hands of
New York when it takes on Den-
ver. The optimism is based on
the improved passing of Tommy
O’Connell and Bob Brodhead the
past week.

Six SWC Grid Teams All Set
For Season's Openers Saturday
By HAROLD V. RATLIFF
Associated Press Sports Writer
Another Southwest Conference
football campaign, shrouded in
uncertainty as usual, opens Sat-
urday.
Six of the eight members start
moving, with Texas Christian,
Southern Methodist and Texas
A&M facing the hardest rows.
The bulky Homed Frogs of
TCU, favored by a solid clique
to win the championship, journey
to Lawrence for a whack at surg-
ing Kansas.
Southern Methodist, generally
relegated to the second division,
meets up-and-coming Missouri at
Columbia.
Texas A&M, given a cellar
rating, goes to Baton Rouge to
test a rebuilding Louisiana State
in a night game.
Each conference team is expec-
ted to encounter terrific opposi-
tion and it would be no surprise
if all three lost.
Texas, the championship favor-
ite \of the masses, hosts Nebraska
in a night game at Austin. The
Longhorns are solid choices to
win although they do not appear
up to the 1959 standard when they
were co-champions of the league
and had a 9-1 record for the sea-
son.
Arkansas, one of the co-champs kansas should experience a happy
fighting against what Coach
Frank Broyles fears might be
complacency, takes on Oklahoma
State at Little Rock. The Razor-
backs will be favored to win by
a wider margin than last year
when they beat the Cowboys 13-7.
Out at Lubbock, Texas Tech
opens its first season as a cham-
pionship contender by entertain-
ing its neighbor, West Texas
State. The Red Raiders are easy
favorites.
Baylor, one of the top-rated
teams, and Rice, given little
chance at the championship, wait
until next week to open the cam-
paign.
Hoping for a flying start in this
screwy business of predicting:
Nebraska-Texas — A lusty vote
for Texas, which must justify its
high-pre-season rating.
Texas Christian - Kansas—The
Horned Frogs could easily lose
this one but the choice is Texas
Christian by a touchdown.
Arkansas - Oklahoma - Ar-
TWC NAMES CAPTAINS
EL PASO ® — Charles Brad-
shaw, fullback from Abilene, and
Lawrence Hutson, guard from
Littlefield, have been elected cap-
tain and co-captain of the Texas
opening.
_ Southern Methodist - Missouri-
The Tigers will turn this time;
Missouri by a touchdown.
Texas A&M - Louisiana State -
The Aggies aren’t as bad as
they’ve been pictured but LSU
isn’t either—Louisiana State in
a terrific finish.
Texas Tech - West Texas State
—A West Texas victory would be
predicting one—Tech by two
touchdowns.
