Sfcrmes Dedicated To Sam Houston
now and the last of
loot 60,000 persons
Between
September
will stop in Huntsville to visit the
many shrines dedicated to the me,
tnory of General Sam Houston.
This was predicted after* chrek-
th rough af. registration books kept
since 1$36 in, the Sam Hopston
Memorial museum, conveniently
locsted on V. S. Highway 75 ss
the main “stopping point-1* and
headquarters for this “shrine city,*'
where Houston made his home
. from 1847 until his death.
Surrounding the Monticello-like
museum structure in a beautiful
15-uCre park are the original Hous-
■ ton home, carriage house, log.
kitchen, law office and Steamboat
House, where the soldier-states-
man died in 1863
Across town in Oakwood ceme-
tery is the grave of Sam Houston
marked with a 12-foot tall Texas
granite monument bearing a life-
size carving of the “Raven" mount-
ed on his favorite steed. Leading
.to the grave, as a spur of U. S.
Highway 45, Is Memorial Drives—
its two-block length recognized as
“the shortest highway in the
world.”
Probably the most talked-about
points of interest are the many
relics of the battle of San Jacinto
housed in the museum. Among
them are Houston's crutches, cane,
flag and pistols and the Santa
Anna saddle, sword, dagger, walk-
ing stick and field glass. Thous-
ans of other mementoes of Texas
history bear descriptive tags in
the showcases of the “open all day”
museum.
The Houston , home is situated
in the exact location where Texas'
first president built it and lived
while he was a U. S. Senator.. In
the yard is a pecan tree said to
have been planted by Houston him-
self. The homgfs six rooms are
furnished completely with pieces
representative of Houston's time,
much of it his family's personal
possessions.
s—the kitchen.
inal—are equipped just, as Houc
ton and his family used them. A
carriage house contains transpor-
tation and agricultural equipment!
used in Texas during Houston'^
time.
Paintings . of buildings and
houses connected with the gener-
al’s life and family portraits adorn
the walls of the Steamboat House,
which was moved to Memorial
Park as part of Texas' centennial
celebration.
The park itself ia part of the
Sam Houston State Teachers Col-
lege campus and the original 133-
acre Houston farm. Hundreds of
different species of trees and
plants representative of all Texas
surround a small lake dug in the
shapf .of. the State.
In addition to the tourist-visi-
tors. the shrines annually attract
another 25,000 school children, who
come throughout the year to learn
their history’ . lessons “out of
books." i
The admission-free park and
buildings are maintained by the
college, which tod is a part of Tex-
a- history as the oldest State-
-upported educational institution.
It still uses the first building erect-
ed in Texas for higher education,
now 98 years old.
Justly proud 6f its heritage, the
city of Huntsville maintains its
tree-lined streets and stately
honles as sights of beauty for the
hundreds wh<1 daily linger awhile
in this 'Mount .Vernon of Texas.”

How many people do you know
that (till cling to the old-faskioaed
idea that the sooner children catch
the so-called diseases of childhood,
the better off they '11 beT
Take whooping cough, for exam-
ple. Isn’t it ridiculous for children
to have to suffer with it when it
may be prevented by simple vac-
cination T
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 America, from
time to time, seems to have more
than its fair share of rases.
Sometimes it’s fatal, especially
to very small children. About 85
out of every 100 whooping rough
deaths are among two-year-olds
and less. And, strangely enough,
most deaths are among girls. In
1949 Texas had 46 whooping cough
deaths. So far in 1950, an average
of 323 cases have been reported
every week.
Whooping cough is spread
through droplet infection—that is,
by breathing air contaminated by
a sneeze or cough of an infected
perdon. You can get it from using
the personal things of an infected
person, too. It is communicable
from aho^t 7 days aftJr exposure
until three weeks after the rough-
ing starts.
The important thing about
whooping cough is that vaccina-
tion may protect against it. It is
the only thing-that will. If an un-
vaccinated child gets the disease,
he will thereafter have what is
called a “definite and prolonged
immunity.” But the fact of the
matter is that second attacks have
been known to occur.
Vaccination of all preschool chil-
dren is the answer to control.
''Booster” shots may be advisable
within a year after the initial
vaccination. Your family doctor
wil) make that decision.

Pie container. Drain. Place the
fruit in a broad, flat-bottomed ket-
tle and crush slightly to start the
flow of juice (no water is needed).
R6il for 5 to 10 minutes stirring
frequently to prevent the berries
from scorching. Count the time
only after the fruit has begun to
boil. Pour the hot, cooked fruit, in
a jelly bag or several thicknesses
of rhese cloth and let the juice
drip into a bowl. Then, when the
dripping has ceased, press - the
jelly bag to obtain all the juice.
Clear the juice by re-straining
through a fresh jelly bag or cheese
cloth wrung from hot water.
Test the juice for pectin by add-
ing 1 tablespoon of juice to 1 table-
vpoon of denatured alcohol. If a
firm jell is obtained use 1 cup
sugar to each cup of juice. If only
a partial jell is obtained use 8/4
cup sugar for 1 cup fruit juice.
Heat the fruit juice and the sugar
rapidly to boiling, using a large,
flat-bottomed pan that permits
rapid evaporation. Stire only until
the sugar is dissolved—no longer.

During 1949 Burma decided to
employ pure nickel for the half
and quarter rupee coins, the
blanks to be supplied by Interna-
tion Nickel’s British subsidiary,
Henry Wiggin ACompany, Limit-
ed, and the coins to be minted at
the Royal Mint.
• e e
India has continued the issue
of coinage in pure nickel and
rupro-nickel, and during the post
four years over one thousand mil-
lion coin blanks have been pro-
duced for striking in India. The
issue of the new coinage will not
be completed for some years and
will involve altogether many
thousands of tons of nickel.

During the year 1949 more than
85 per cent of the refined nickel
produced in Canada was consumed
in the United States, Groat Britain
and Canada.
