New Ruling
Is Awaited On
Registration
W. A. Little, director of the Tex-
as Old Age Assistance Commis-
sion, stated today that no inves-
tigations would be made of ap-
plicants for Old Age Assistance
under the new law until a ruling
had been secured from the At-
torney Generl’s office, which op-
inion would serve in formulating
policies and procedure of investi-
gation under the liberalized act.
Even after the opinion has been
secured, it wlil be necessary for
investigational instructions to be
perfected and workers advised as
to their use. This will likely re-
quire another week or ten days
after the Attorney General’s De-
partment has officially acted.
Little further stated that regis-
trations had reached about 30,000
for the state as a whole, and It was
a nadmitted fact that under the
most favorable circumstances, sev-
eral months would be required to
complete records of investigation
and to certify recipients for what-
ever pro rata share of available
money might be at hand from
month to month. In the meantimf
a new plan will be submitted to
the Social Security Board at
Washington, and their final de-
cision as to the aproval or dis-
approval of the plan awaited.

Premium List
For Texas State
Fair Completed
Listing more than $100,000 in
premiums for livestock, agricul-
ture, poultry and other awards,
the State Fair of Texas is now
ready to mail its annual premi-
um list. This will be the 51st mail-
ing of the premium list, and this
year’s book shows an increase
from a few thousand dollars to
more than $100,000.
In many cases premiums have
been increased. Competition has
again been taken from county ex-
hibits and instead each county
with a creditable exhibit will re-
ceive $125.
In addition to the regular pre-
mium list which shows every award
offered by the State Fair of Tex-
as, the fair has for distribution
supplementary lists for special
shows, as the poultry show, the
4-H Club Shows, Culinary and
Textile, the school exhibits and
contests and others.

iana in 1891, stopped briefly in
San Marcos and San Antonio, and
then went on to Fort Davis, where
he began as a country doctor. He
spent six years at Pecos and then
moved to El Paso, where his fond-
ness for hunting in Mexico led to
his acquaintance with many Mex-
icans. Some later became noted
figures in the revolution. One of
his patients was a son of General
Terrazas, but he also treated In-
dians, miners, railroad workers,
bandits, any who called for his
service. His brief sketches of fron-
tier medical practice such as when
he effected a cure of two chil-
dren with diphtheria by using ser-
um eight years old, or how he
saved the life of a little girl shot
through the body, by keeping her
on a nicely balanced dosage of
opium until the wounds could
heal naturally are stories which
perhaps other pioneer doctors
could match, but they are none
the less interesting.
