Cholera outbreak linked to Texas offshore oil rig United Press International NEW ORLEANS — State health officials have traced 13 cases of cholera to an offshore oil rig in the first outbreak of the dis ease in Louisiana since 1978. Dr. Charles Caraway, director of disease control for the Office of Health Services and Environmen tal Quality, said nine cases of the disease had been confirmed and four more were suspected. Two men with suspected cholera were hospitalized in Rayne but were expected to re cover, Caraway said Saturday. The others victims had already re covered. Caraway said a 23-year-old man was the first to contract the disease while working on the rig near Port Arthur. He became ill Sept. 21 and returned to Louisiana two days later. The source of the cholera had not been determined, Caraway said, but a contaminated water tank on the rig may have infected food or drink. Proper sewage disposal should confine the disease, he said, and there is no danger to residents of Louisiana or Texas. Cholera is an intestinal disease characterized by T sudden diarrhea, vomiting and rapid dehydration. “With proper treatment, the fatality rate is less than 1 percent,” Caraway said. “Mild cases with only diarrhea are common, espe cially in children.” PRE-LAW SOCIETY Meeting Wednesday, Oct. 14 7p.m. 301 Rudder 1981 Muster Speaker FRED McCElTRE will speak * lecriH ii Got- k sr arc orv in lilha! hand- lid, nder- ome- Texas migrants have deplorable housing Gerry Me Murry, staff member of Gonzalez’ House subcommittee on Housing and Community De velopment, said living conditions in the 50 to 60 labor camps in the Texas Panhandle range from ade quate to intolerable. He blamed much of the problem on the rules, regulations and indecisiveness of the Farmers Home Administra tion, which oversees the camps. Doug Profit, grower and an accountant for the Castro County agency, complained that FmHA rules and regulations led to the abandonment of the camps. “Nobody knows what they (the regulations) are,” he said. “They change from day to day. We never got the same answer twice from the FmHA.” Gonzalez said that upon his re turn to Washington, he would meet with FmHA officials to expe dite the application and find out why only half of FmHA’s farm labor housing funds were current ly being used. 13 Welcome Back Aggies! We’ve reopened with lower prices and live Rock n’ Roll. PLAYING WED-SAT. Mother of Pearl #2 Cover United Press International Many of the 60,000 migrant and seasonal laborers who gin the cot ton and pick the fields of Texas Panhandle growers live in condi tions described by a Texas con gressman as deplorable and inex cusable. Near Hereford, Yolanda Valdez told touring Rep. Henry Gon zalez, D-Texas, the family moved from Texoma, Okla., where three families shared a two-bedroom house and $250 a month rent. Be fore that it was Dimmitt, where the family found work rooting a sorghum field. Now—after moving up to bet- terthings — Valdez, her husband and six children still pay $180 a month to live in a wooden, two- room house, heated only by a flame on the stove. Gonzalez’ brief visit late last week was only part of a tour that included the best and worst of migrant farm labor housing. He said he came to the Texas Panhan dle to bring in “the human ele ment” and review the administra tion of housing programs “in the field.” Gonzalez’ greatest disappoint ment came in Dimmitt, where officials only recently closed part of a run-down, privately owned, camp. Many of the one and two- room wooden shacks had holes in the roofs and floors, and walls were reinforced with chicken wire. “Naturally, this is very dis appointing,” Gonzalez told gathering reporters. “It is inexcus able. We can’t shut our eyes to this deplorable situation.” 4 * if >f if if 4 if if * * 4 4 if 4 f if )f if if if if ! * All car audio systems are not created equal.
