Among the Houston district's
projects, two reasons were list-
ed most often in the report
as justification tor the improve-
ments.
“Not to minimum standards"
was named as the justification
on 20 projects while “high traf-
fic volume" covered 11 projects.
Another common justificat-
ion dealt with accident rates.
In the Houston district, for
instance, the fact that “the
accident rates are above the
state average” was listed on 20
projects.
In contrast, accident rates
were mentioned only six times
in the Dallas district projects
while high traffic volume was
listed 13 times.
District 24, the El Paso Dis-
trict, reported the least number
of highway hazards. An esti-
mated $1.5 million, the lowest
figure for all the districts, was
proposed for improvements on
four projects in District 24.

AUSTIN, TEXAS--The Tex-
as Highway Department reveal-
ed today that it will spend al-
most $311 million as part of
a continuing four-year war on
traffic accidents.
The Department released an
“inventory of hazardous locat-
ions” in its 25 districts. Con-
struction projects have been
programmed for G64 hazardous
highway locations listed in the
inventory.
Estimated cost for correct-
ing the danger spots on high-
ways in all parts of the state
is $310,924,199. Of this an esti-
mated $179.3 million will be
state funds and $131.6 million
will be federal funds.
Federal funds for participa-
tion in the program are derived
from special taxes on highway
users.
Typical projects listed by the
bureau offer wide latitude. They
include the widening of narrow
bridges and traffic lanes, re-
construction to increase sight
distances on horizontal and
vertical curves and installation
of railroad crossing warning
devices, traffic control devices
including pavement markings,
highway lighting, guardrails
and fencing.
State Highway Engineer D.C.
Greer stressed that new pro-
jects will be added to the pro-
gram as additional hazards are
spotted. -
Greer noted that $2.6 mil-
lion in safety improvements
projects have been undertaken
with state forces at state ex-
pense since last July. “
He also pointed out that since
last July program projects al-
ready let to contract totaled
some $41.2 million n state
participation and $26.4 million
in federal participation.
The Department's District
12, which includes Houston and
Harris County, led the inven-
tory dollar-wise with an esti-
mated $38.5 million proposed
for safety improvements,
District 18, which takes in
Dallas, was second with a total
of $27.9 million proposed for
improvements.

the Beaumont-Port Arthur-or-
ange area, was thid witb an

The state draft director
pointed out that the number of
men in the state’s 1-A pool
was reduced from 100,000 at the
end of August 1965 to 51,000 at
the end of February 1966.
During the same period, he
said, the number ofmencalssi-
fled as students rose from
85,060 to 104,000. At the end
of January, there were 106,000
men classified in 2-S as stu-
dents, the first material re-
duction in the pool since Octo-
ber 1964, when the number was
74,000.
“From October 1964,” Colo-
nel Schwartz said, “to January
1966, the student pool rose
steadily from 74,000 to 106,000.
Then, this pool was reduced by
2,000 in one month.

Latest figures indicate that
so far during the 1966 inspect-
ion period approximately
2,815,000 vehicles have been in-
spected. This is 308,000 more
than for the same period dur-
ing the 1965 period when 2,-
507,000 were safety checked.
It is estimated that some 200,-
000 to 250,000 more vehicles
will be inspected this year com-
pared to 1965.
“This gives us a gain of
some 50,000 vehicles over last
year’s inspection period,”
Garrison said, “which is less |
than one day’s total.
“Those drivers who consis-
tently have their vehicles
checked early and more than
once during the year, such as
before long trips, are to be
commended tor guarding their
own safety as well as that of
others on our streets and high-
ways.”

Easter seals, which support
the North Texas Rehabilitation
Center in Wichita Falls, will
be mailed to 1,000 Graham area
homes during the first week of
April.
Mrs. L. C. Young, Easter
Seal chairman for Graham and
a member of the board of di-
rectors ot the rehabilitation
center, said that the annual
Easter Seal appeal is the only
North Texas fund raising event
to benefit the center.
The people of Graham have
two reasons to be especially In-
terested in the center, Mrs.
Young said. First of all, 16
children from Graham, three
from Loving, and one each from
Bunger, Bryson and Woodson
have benefited from treatments
at the rehabilitation center.
Secondly, the director of the
) center is Mrs. Jack Wages, the
' former Bettye Farmer, daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Far-
mer of Graham.
Adults as well as children re-
' eelve treatments at the center,
Mrs. Young pointed out, and
“none of us know when we
might one day need the help
which the rehabilitation center
offers."
In addition to the 22 children
from this area who have re-
ceived therapy treatments at the
center, hundreds of others from
throughout the North Texas area
have been treated there. The
children have come from Arch-
er City, Jacksboro, Electra,
Henrietta, Seymour, Olney, Bo-
wie, and, of course, Wichita
Falls, plus many others.
“Without the rehabilitation
center in Wichita Falls," she
said, “these people probably
could not have received the
therapy, so vitally needed to
make them more active and
useful citizens."
Three types of therapy ire
given at the center by profes-
sionally trained therapists.
These are physical, occupa-
tional and speech therapy.
Physical therapy is adminis-
tered by a therapist who uses
modern equipment, such as the
whirlpool, in working with In-
jured or crippled limbs. Adults
and children treated at the cen-
ter with physical therapy are
those who have suffered
strokes, are victims of arthri-
tis, rheumatism, muscular dy-
strophy, cerebral palsy or oth-
er crippling diseases which oc-
cur either at birth or later, or
are accident victims. _
In speech, individual therapy
consists of working with chil-
dren and adults who are diag-
nosed as having delayed speech
problems, cleft palate or cleft
lip, stuttering or non-fuency
problems, speech problems due
to cerebral palsy, strokes and
perceptual dirficulties and
b.
this possible, are the main
source of support tor the annual
$40,000 budget of the center.”
Since its founding in 1948,
the center has given more than
82,000 treatments. Last year,
more than 7,000 were adminis-
tered.
“As our population grows,”
she said, “the services de-
manded of the rehabilitation
center grow." In every 1,000
persons, 141 are handicapped.
“The peOple of the Graham
area are fortunate in having
the rehabilitation center in
Wichita Falls. That city has a
door-to-door drive, and most of
the money, needed to keep the
center in operation comes from
Wichitans. But because the peo-
ple of Graham and area have 22
children who have attended the
center, we have a responsibili-
ty to do our share.
“We can see our Easter Seal
dollars in action at the rehabffi-
tation center,” she said.
“When your Easter Seals ar-
rive in the mail,” Mrs. Young
stressed, “please mail in your
donation. Every little bit
helps."

The director of the Texas
Department of Public Safety re-
ported "today the owners of more
than one and one-quarter mil-
lion motor vehicles still need
to have them safety checked at
official inspection stations be-
fore their current inspection
stickers expire April 15.
Col. Homer Garrison, Jr.
said this means Texas’ 5,350
inspection stations must col-
lectively check over 65,000 ve-
hicles per day in order to meet
the deadline.
'"This breaks down to an
average of 12 cars per day per
stations," Garrison said. “And
though this may seem like a
small enough number to run
through each station, it adds
up to a total of over 1,378,-
000 individual vehicles."
He pointed out that the load
on some inspection stations is
greater than on others, result-
ing in the development of frust-
rating waiting lines in some
places as the deadline ap-
proaches.
