MRS. MARY LEACH HALL
ASKS TO BE RE-ELECTED
COUNTY TREASURER
Mrs. Hall says: “I am deeply
grateful to tlie people of MeLeai-
nan County for electing me to
the important office of C6unty
^treasurer. I want again to thank
tJm people of McGregor and, vi-
cinity for their generous part in
my election. I appreciated each
and every vote I received in the
McGregor box, and every good
word spoken in my behalf. To
emphasise the responsibility of
this office, a total of $2,014,-
164.57 of the County’s money
was handled by the County Trea-
surer in 1949. The County Re-
cords reveal that I have met the
responsibility of this office in a
satisfactory manner, and I be-
lieve that my services merit re-
election at County Treasurer. I
am asking for your vote- and as-
sistance, in my election cam-
paign, assuring you that it will
be sincerely appreciated. I desire
to remain the Treasurer of Mc-
Lennan County and in return
promise continued faithful, ef-
ficient service, which is my best
qualification. ’ ’—Adv.
CARD OF THANKS
To all our many friends and
relatives who ave been so
thoughtful in so many ways dur-
ing my illness, I wish to express
my sincere thanks. Flowers,
cards, visits and everything is
more than appreciated.

GATESVILLE CHURCH HAS
INTERPRETER FOR DEAF
Religious services for the deaf
people of Texas are a rarity.
With over 3,500 of these Silent
Friends in our state, few church-
es provide for the spiritual side
of their lives. Realizing this, the
First Baptist church of Gates-
ville on March 5th of this year
began offering the services of
an interpreter for these shut out
from the world of sound.
The balcony, a^ part of the
preaching auditorium, was reser-
ved for these honor guests with
the first Sunday morning of
each month set aside for the
Silent Friends. There were 12
present in March, 22 in April,
and 61 in May for the third ser-
vice. The steadily increasing
number present and taking part
in the service showed their in-
terest and joy in being able to
meet with their friends in the
house of the Lord. They have
come from a radius of over 100
miles and have been greatly
blessed. Dinner, provided by the
church, and the period of fellow-
ship following enables those
from great distances to attend
and helps them to keep in con-
stant contact with each other.
The interpreters, Mr. and Mrs.
Jesse Dudley of Waco, form a
link wih the pastor, Dr. Clar-
ence A. Morton, and beautifully
translate the message. A Sunday
School class, held at 9:45 that
morning provide for them, and
hearing children of these friends
go to the regular Sunday School.
The friendliness and joy of
these Silent Friends show their
appreciation. The next service
will be held June 4th, and all
Silent Friends and their families
are invited. Regardless of re-
ligious affiliation, everyone is
invited as nothing will be said
or done that will offend anyone.
OLD-FASHIONED IDEAS
SOMETIMES NOT BEST

Austin. — How many people
do you know that still cling to
the old-fashioned idea that the
sooner children catch the so-
called diseases of child, the bet-
ter off they’ll be?
Take whooping cough for ex-
ample. Isn’t it ridiculous for
children to have to suffer with
it when it may be prevented by
simple vaccination ?
Whooping cough goes by the
scientific name of pertussis. Re-
gardless of what you call it, it
still means violent, painful
wracking coughing that takes
the breath and tears at the chest
and throat walls.
Pertussis is prevalent among
children everywhere. About 15
out of every 100 cases are in
children under two. North A-
merica, from time to time, seems
to have ore than its fair share of
cases.
Sometimes it’s fatal, especially
to very small children. About

85 out of every 100 whooping
cough deaths are among two-
yeamolds and less. And, strange-
ly enough, most deaths are
among girls. In 1949 Texas had
46 whooping cough deaths. So
for in 1950, and average of 323
cases have been reported every
week.
Whooping cough is spread
thru droplet infection—that is,
by breathing air contaminated
by a sneeze or cough of an in-
fected person. You can get it
from using the personal things
of an infected person, too. It is
communicable from about 7
days after exposure until three
weeks after the coughing starts.
The important thing about
whooping cough is that vaccina-
tion may protect against it. It’s
the only thing that will. If an un-
vaccinated child gets the disease
he will thereafter have what is
called a “definite and prolong-
ed immunity.” But the fact of
the matter is that second attacks
have been known to occur.
Vaccination of all preschool
children is the answer to control.
“Booster” shots may be advis-
able within a year after the ini-
tial vaccination. Your family
doctor will make that decision.

JAKE AYNESWORTH ASKS
RE-ELECTION TO LEGISLATURE
Jake Aynesworth seeks re-elec-
tion to the office of Representative,
Place 2, and liis formal announce-
ment wlil be found in the regular
Political Column next week.
There are some interesting facts
about this native-born boy. He never
knew what a “silver spoon” looked
like, but that was no drawback to
Jake Aynesworth. He helped the folks
at home but managed to get a high
school education by working long
hours, frequently burning mid-night
oil to get his lessons. He entered
Baylor University, but his time there
was interrupted by World War II.
Jake did his bit, returning to Baylor
where he graduated in law more than
a year ago* He opened law offices in
the Liberty building and has done
well for a young attorney.
Jake Aynesworth is not new as
a legislative member. It is all to his
credit, this experience is valuable.
He pnew all members of the Legis-
lature and will have pleasant re-
lations will all hold-overs.
Jake Aynesworth was active in
passing the Education measure. This
bill means much to the thousands o^
school teachers, who have been un-
derpaid entirely too long.
And the increase in the school tax
is only an infinitesimal sum, 30.31 to
30.43.
Jake Aynesworth was author of a
bill that would have made it neces-
sary" for all automobile owners to
carry, insurance. This bill lost by one
vote in the. House.
Jack Aynesworth voted for raising
the ceilings on old age pensions,
which meant more monthly payments
to the aged, more to the blind and
.dependent children. This bill lost, but
will come up at the next session.
And Jake Aynesworth will be found
Working for increased pensions.
The records of the Legislature also
shows that young Aynesworth was,
in line for economy in conducting
state government. He vot-ed for good
service by our public servants, but
opposed extravagance in administer-
ing the various departments. No leg-
islator took more interest in consult-
ing {the heads of departments and,
familiarizing himself ivith the state’s
business.
Jake Aynesworth is popular among
the membership of the McLennan
county Bar and the citizenship gen-
erally. He is active in local, civic
and business matters.
Jake Aynesworth is married and
resides at 1527 Barnard Avenue, in
Waco.
Mr. Aynesworth has been very
busy, but expects to get out a^ong
the people over the county, meet
those who have heretofore honored
him and tell them of his great appre-
ciation for having elevated kim to
the legislature.
Look over the possibilities for this
honor and if you decide that Jake
Aynesworth has'served you well, cast
your vote for him July 22.—Adv.
