He detailed the Crippled Children's Clinic to be held at First Baptist Church in Alpine on Tuesday December 13.

A visiting nurse Mrs Abbott of El Paso will tour the 10 counties beforehand to prep for the event. Dr C B Casey spoke on treating a racial minority as it sees fit noting Germany’s resentment would be natural if roles reversed. The road plan from Fort Davis north to Toyahvale could yield an all paved link from Alpine to Carlsbad via U S 90 and 61. There is belief that a paved park-to-park road will be built when Big Bend National Park is established.
