THE BOERNE STAR
POLIO VACCINE
AVAILABLE
There is an ample supply
every place NOW! There is also
POLIO. There is no reason for a
single case of paralytic polio in
any of the 52 Texas (S) coun-
ties . . . provided the needed
push is given the people.
In San Antonio recently,
every person employed by the
Express News was offered the
Salk vaccine free of charge by
Frank Huntress, owner of the
newspaper, radio, T. V. opera-
tion. All accepted. Reason: one
of the editors is currently in
Santa Rosa hospital in an iron
lung.
At Lackland Air Force Base,
the commanding general lined
up at the head of his 30,000 per
sonnel to receive the first in the
series of three shots. Reason:
five cases in one week at the
base with two in serious con-
dition.
In Donna, Texas, two weeks
ago every members of the Lions
Club some with wives and child
ren, rolled up their left sleeves
for the vaccine. This idea is
spreading among other groups
in the Valley. Reason: the only
excuse for polio now is lack of
sufficient enery to either visit
or phone your doctor for an ap-
pointment.
Remember — if polio strikes
near you — nobody will have an
excuse strough enough to stand
against a child’s pain ... or your
possible heartbreak.

Roth on the screen.

A. E. Coveney, located about
two miles west of Bergheim, has
a pasture resting this fall. He
reporte that the recent rain has
helped all of his pastures but the
best growth is in the pasture
that is resting. Grasses in this
pasture are making a seed crop
and are spreading out into the
bare areas while grasses over
the rest of the ranch have not
begun to make seed. Coveney is
convinced that rest and light use
are the best ways to bring his
pastures back again.

Recent heayy rains in some
areas have pointed out the need
for better terrace maintenance.
If terraces are to do the job
they are built for, they have to
be kept up. The lact of proper
maintenance has allowed silt to
collect in terrace channels. This
has reduced their capacity and
heavy rains overtop these ter-
races, causing considerable dam-
age.
Terrace maintenance should be
made part of the annual opera-
tion and is just as important as
seed bed preparation. In some
cases, terraces may need blading
up to take out high and low spots
in the channel or to strengthen
weak places in the ridge. If the
terrace is in fair shape, a good
plowing may be all that is neces
sary. There are several methods
of plowing terraces up that will
increase channel capacity and
ridge height. For more details
on these methods, contact your
Soil Conservation Service tech-
nicians serving the Kendall
County Soil Conservation Dis-
trict.
