An Ounce of .. .
Why should we buy Christmas Seals?
We are inclined to think of tuberculosis as a disease
that disappeared with the advent of modern drugs.
But then we aren’t realizing just how serious a problem
TB still is. It is understandably easy to fall into a false sense
of security and think “that will never happen to me.”
But how bitter are the pangs of remorse when we find
ourselves confronted wth the problem we dodged so easly
before ?
By buying Christmas Seals, we aren’t only helping those
already stricken with TB; we also are helping the continuance
of a kind of insurance that asks no premiums or monthly
rates but lasts just as long as there are people who will give.
An old saying goes: “An ounce of prevention is worth
a pound of cure.”

Daily Train Service
Begins At North Zulch
The Burlington Lines’ Sam Hous
ton Zephyr will begin making con
ditional stops at North Zulch Sun
day, to discharge or pick up pas
sengers to or from Houston and
Dallas.
Recent surveys in the area of
Texas, roughly bordered by Bryan,
College Station, Navasota, Hunts
ville and Madisonville, indicated a
railway passenger potential in that
area.
A conditional stop of a passenger
train is one made on notice to the
agent in advance when passengers
desire to board the train. Notice
to the conductor enroute is neces
sary so that he may arrange to
stop the train to let passengers
off.
The Zephyr operates on a daily
run from Houston to Dallas and
return, leaving Houston at 8:35
a.m. on the northward trip. It
leaves Dallas at 5:00 p.m. on the
southward trip. The train is sched
uled to pass North Zulch at 10:07
a.m. enroute to Dallas and at 7:£4
p.m. enroute to Houston.
“Recent discontinuances of pas
senger train service between the
Dallas-Fort Worth area and the
territory to be served by the North
Zulch stop of the Sam Houston
Zephyr prompted the survey that
was made and the resulting deci
sion to provide this added service
for that section of Texas,” said R.
Wright Armstrong, vice-president
of the Fort Worth and Denver Rail
way, concerning his railroad’s
plans.
North Zulch is 23 miles east of
Bryan and 13 miles west of Madi
sonville on U.S. Highway 190, State
Highway 21. The town is served
by all-weather roads.
