How Christian
Science Heals
A minister, long on leave from
his charge because of illnesa,
procured a copy of
'‘Scisace and Health with
Key to the Scripture* "
tnr Mary Baker Eddy
After reading the first sentence
of the first chapter, he thought,
* Whoever wrote this had been
very close to God.”
He read on for several hours
with such a sense of unfolding
understanding as he had not
known before, then realized
v that he was well. The healing
was complete and permanent.

Christian Science and ita heal-
ing work is given in ” Science

Austin, Texas —Seasonal ad*
vice to vacationist* concerning
thc proper precautions to be used
in water sports was released from
the State Health Department to*
day by Dr. Geo. W. Cox, State
Health Officer.
Lakes and ponds of unknbwn
depth, and streams of unfamiliar
currents are often the site of pic-
nics and excursions, and the usual
liefguard supervision associated
with bathing beaches and' com-
mercial swimmirtg pools Is, of
course, not available in] *uch
places.
“Swimming and water Sport*
are beneficial to good health pro-
vided one's physical condition jus-
tifies this, type of exercise/’, Df.
Cox asserted. "Nevertheless, they
possess dangerous possibilities if
the,rules of safety are disregarded
through carelessness or thought-
lessness.”. \ A;
The State Health Officer) out-
lined the following simple rules
for bathing and swimming Safety:
at least one hour should elapse af-
ter a meal before entering the
water: upon the first indication
of fatigue; come ashore, and don't
re-enter the water; if chilled, leave
the water immediately; do not en-
ter the water when overheated;
learn to float—this is important;
never attempt to rock a boat in
a spirit of fun; and never swim
in water that may be polluted.
“Outdoor excursions, picnics,
and swjjnming parties Contribute
much to a healthy, happy, normal
life,” Dr. Cox said “It is by no
mean* advisable to eliminate these
pleasures from our summer pro- i Although presently residing in

Million Dollars

,•» tmmul rmt)
A million-dollar fortund han
been left to deserving students of
the University of Michigan by a
modest 70-year-old bachelor.
Most of the students—If they
knew the elderly man at all—
knew only that his name was Mis-
ter Smith, and that he lived in a
Rmall room in the Michigan Union,
the center of campus activities.
Actually he was a wealthy re-
tired attorney named C. C. Smith.
He had Arranged to move into that
room back in 1937, saying he
wanted to spend his last years
among student* of hi* alma mater.
Smith died last March. And
now it’* disclosed that he lelft more
than one-million dollar* in cash
and securities to establiah a fund
for the students. The money, ac-
cording to hi* will, U for gift*,

by examination*, but should be
picked after private Inquiry and
close observation.

of the tour will assist TMTA of*
ficials in conducting hundred* of
visitors through this Safety Ex-
hibit on' Wheel*. Designed to
visit all principal cities and towns
in Texas prior to Its completion
on May 12, thin tour offers the
opportunity to all, of utilizing the
most modern equipment knosvn, to
tost their driving ability and men-
tal alertness. The visiting of
school* by this Safety Exhibit ha*
resulted in thousands of young-
sters, who are our driver* of the
future, being given test* and scien-
tific instruction on the safe driv-
ing and operation of trucks and
automobile^.
The tests given in this exhibit
are identical with those used by
the Motor Transportation indus-
try in it* selection and training

Hank Thompson was reared on
a farm near Hrashear, where he
attended high school. He was em-
ployed by the Sproles-Red Bail
Line* in January, 1935, when be-
ing an over-the-road driver requlr-
ed unusual skill, strength and a
pioneer spirit. *
At that time Driver’s Logs were
unknown, and the road and equijA
ment condition* were »uch that
Hank on taking leave of hi* fam-
ily always did so without knowing
whether he would be back'In two
days or two weeks. It was fre-
quently necessary i(n those day*
to drive far in excess of present
allowable hours. Regulation, bet-
ter highways, and tremendous
improvement in the dependability
of a motor truck, however, brought
about radical changes in the stat-
us of a truck driver, and through-
out the years Hank has made his
runs regularly without an acci-
dent, and, from our knowledge, an
offended customer or fellow-trav-
eler* of the highways.
He I* presently driving an aver-
age of 101.088 miles per year. He
is five feet, nine inches tall,
weighs 170 pounds, and has a host
of friends among hi* customers
snd the people living along the
highway* dally traversed by Hank
on his daily schedule serving the
customers of Sroles-Rcd Ball,
Hank will be Guest of Honor at
the TMTA State Convention to be
held in Fort Worth in mid-May
and will he a participant in the
Truqk Driver’s Roadao to be held
in conjunction with this conven-
tion in still furthering the Inter-
est* of safety on the highway*.
