Jesse Lancet, Crosbyton cam-

"As no solicitation was m^de

a very good response," the cam-

it is possible that we have miss-
ed a number, who wish to' give

The Mothers' March Friday

$107 was from the grade school,
$27.31 from high school and a-
bout $18.20 from the colored

And we have another reason
for wanting Crosbyton people to
pay their poll tax. For several
years the Crosbyton box has
been running a 100 or more be-
hind Ralls—not because there is
more people at Ralls but because
they do a better Job of paying
their poll tax, When the tax of-
fice closed Tuesday night,.jCros-
byton was only about 30 behind
Ralls; Ralls had about 450 and
Crosbyton 420. Let's go ahead of
the Ralls box this year.

Average number of receipts is-

Members of Crosbyton Lions
Club, plus about 20 farmer
guests, heard Dr. Thomas C.
Longnecker of the High Plains
Station of Texas Research .Foun-
dation near Plainview explain
the work of the station Wednes-
day. *
Organized only two years,- the
station, located at Halfway 15
miles west of Plainview, has al-
ready done some Important ex-
perimental work in agriculture.
Dr. Longnecker said. Supported
entirely by business and agri-
culture of this area, the station
was set up by representatives of
19 counties.
"We work on what people of
this area think is needed," the
head of the station explained.
"It belongs to the people of the
South Plains, and our research
findings are available to every-
one."
"We had intended to observe
the deadline set for Jan. 25, but
the committee has decided that
we are so close to 100 .that we
should make an effort to reach
that number," Mr. Duff said. So
the deadline has been extended
for a few days, or until the num-.
ber of memorial plaques reach-
es 100. ....
Names of 71 pioneers being
honored on the plaques have-al-
ready been listed. Others in-
clude:
72. Charles W., Artley, 1893-
1955, Crosby Co. in 1914.

Mrs. Beckham got in the car
with him, and they started back
toward Crosbyton on -the way to
Lubbock. Mrs. Beckham soon
noticed that thelt_ plastic seat
covers were missing, and a qUlck
inspection revealed the embar-
rassing situation that they were
in someone else's car which was
very similar to their own.
☆ ☆ ☆
In the meantime Pete Bacon
frojh west of town started to get
in his car and found it gone. He
immediately notified the sher-
iffs department and officers all
over this area were notified by
shortwave to be on the look-out
-for the missing car. By this time
Mr. and Mrs. Beckham had
reached the highway and; had
not travelled far. before a High-
Patrolman passed them,

trolman to follow him and they

tion that all of us have worried
about getting into. Personally,
We've climbed into a dozen cars
that wasn't ours but "felt" the
difference before we tried the
key. Only on one occasion did
we try to put the key in the ig-

brings up the question—Just how
many combinations are car
manufacturers using now. Since
last week we have heard* sev-

its first year was $70,000, all of
which came from business men
and farmers of this area.

Day held at the station during
September 1957. Almost 2,000
persons attended.

Car Owners Urged To Get 1958
Inspection Stickers to Avoid Rash
Texas motorists may be lined
up for blocks before neighbor-
hood automobile service centers
as the: April 15. deadline nears
for obtaining- safety inspection
stickers for cars- and trucks, Ma-
jor R. A. Crowder, Commander of
Regiqn No. 5 of the Texas De-
partment of Public Safety, has
announced.
• "Of the half-million vehicles
in the Department of Public
Safety's R^ioh 5, only 125,000
have received state inspection
stickers!;" said Capt. Alan John-
son.Commandor
cle Inspection Service of Region
No. 5. "Ten weeks remain in
which to .obtain 1958 stickers
and there are 375,000 vehicles
still, to be inspected, in, the '60
counties of Region s." .
"Texas law requires that mo-
torists have the safety stickers
on all registered motor vehicles
by midnight April 15. In addi-
tion, all trailers registered in
Texas which exceed 4000^ounds
gross weight must have safety
stickers," Johnson said.
Last year, thousands of mot-
orists thronged motor vehicle in-
spection stations after waiting
until the "last minute" to have
automobiles, trucks, and trailers
inspection:
Captain Johnson pointed out
that Crosbyton has a number of
motor vehicle inspection stations
and added that motorists will be
able to ^et quick service and a-
void the last minute rush by
having vehicles inspected early.
The Motor Vehicle Inspection
1952, has reduced the state's
traffic accidents by 10 per cent,
Johnson explained.
"Before the Inspection>rogram
was started, mechanical „ defects
in vehicles was a causative fac-
tor in 13 per cent of the state's
traffic accidepts. However, only
three per cent of the state's traf-
fic accidents are caused by
mechanical defects now," John-
son said.
