Livestock diseases erased
by transportation, officials say
More than 2.5 million head of
Texas cattle are shipped nationwide
and abroad every year, animal health
officials learned at Texas A&M Uni
versity Wednesday, and all agreed
that modern transportation and in
terdependence erased much of the
“foreign” aspect from foreign animal
diseases threatening America’s live
stock industry.
Veterinarians, public health pro
fessionals and laymen attended the
opening of a seminar of foreign ani
mal diseases at Texas A&M Univer
sity.
Joe B. Finley Jr. of the Callahan
Ranch at Encinal reported that there
was some doubt in the mind of
ranchers who have an interest in
clean bills of health for their live
stock that an overall willingness
exists to combat foreign disease.
Finley is a former chairman of the
nine-member Texas Animal Health
Commission as well as a cattleman.
TAHC associate director Floyd
Jones told the professionals that an
average of 150,000 cattle per month
are now being quarantined for
brucellosis inspection in Texas.
During the last year, he said,
nearly 2.8 million were tested with
72,000 head showing reaction.
More than 3 million cattle were
inspected for scabies with 50,000
head treated. Fourteen outbreaks
were reported in 13 counties, includ
ing Uvalde County, the fartherest
south scabies has ever been rec
orded in the state, he said.
Almost 270,000 cattle and 70,000
horses were dipped for fever ticks
with 16 counties being under
quarantine during the past 12
months.

School vocational program
European industrial and vo
cational education programs are
about equal to those of America on a
facility scale, but the programs seem
to emphasize the gifted student
more, says a Prairie View A&M Uni
versity official back from a three-
week tour of Europe and the Soviet
Union.
Dr. Lloyd Boyden, graduate
chairman of industrial education at
Prairie View A&M College, was a
member of a People-to-People Pro
gram, a goodwill delegation that
visited with vocational education
counterparts overseas.
Boyden says the programs he saw
advanced the gifted students, but
those students who could not pass
regular comprehensive exams were
relegated to lesser jobs outside the
career they might want to pursue.
Throughout the countries visited,
the government picked up the tab
for educating the students from kin
dergarten through university level.
But many were culled out of pro
grams at age 13-15 by the exams.
Boyden said he learned of a high
suicide rate among high school and
college age kids, perhaps because of
their early exposure to failure.
Boyden and the other business,
industrial and vocational education
representatives met counterparts in
Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Stoc
kholm, Mahno, Helsinki, Lenin
grad, Moscow and Munich.

Campus Invasion
Monday brought Texas A&M’s largest enrollment yet,
and a massive 8 a.m. migration onto the campus. Several
traffic jams could be seen from the top of the
Oceanography-Meteorology Building, between 7:45 and
8:00. By 8:05, the lines had dwindled and the 101st year
of Texas A&M classes were under way.
Associated Press
AUSTIN — The Federal bureau
cracy must share the blame for the
scandal in private vocational schools,
says Atty. Gen. John Hill.
The 1969 Higher Education Act
instructed the Health, Education
and Welfare Department to estab
lish regulations controlling trade
schools.
But HEW did not do that, Hill
told the House Subcommittee on
Higher Education Wednesday. Bil
lions of federal dollars were in
volved, so abuse was inevitable, he
said.
Hill supports mandatory sen
tences for white-collar criminals.
This country cannot pretend to have
a decent criminal justice system

until society stops paying homage to
the big thieves and “we start putting
people in jail,” he said.
Texas has an adequate law for
supervising private schools, Hill
said, but the Proprietary Schools
Division of the Texas Education
Agency was “lax” in enforcing the
law. That has changed now, he said,
and the division is doing a good job.
A Hill aide said “at least $50 mil

COMPLETE AUTO SERVICE COMPLETE AUTO SERVICE,
The past few years have given the Auto Repair Industry in general and transmission
shops in particular a bad reputation. To say that the practices of some shops are
questionable is to put it charitably. I would not condone those practices under arty
circumstances. But when the whole Auto Repair Industry suffers because of them it
makes me mad. _. ....
I'm not responsible for how other people run their business but I am totally respon
sible for mine. I would like you to know how we do business and what you can depend
on when you come to Midway Transmission.

One of the least known beers
in America is one of the beers
experts rate most highly.
You probably haven’t heard about Andeker,
which is a shame. Because beer experts and
connoisseurs have known about Andeker
for years.
Robert Balzer in the Los Angeles Times
Home Magazine writes: “Andeker is white
gold . . . creamy . . . smooth.” John Porter,
author of “All about Beer” proclaims:
“Andeker is elegance in beer.”
There’s no secret to Andeker’s luxurious
taste. Andeker simply uses the finest brew-
ing ingredients in the world. Tangy, im'
ported hops. Choice two-row barley. Yeast
with a pedigree as long as your arm.
And then Andeker allows nature to take
its own unhurried time to reach full, rich
maturity. There are no shortcuts in brew
ing a great beer.
No beer in the world tastes better than
Andeker. Because there’s no better way
to make beer.
