Lawyer Is Speaker
At Club Meeting
James Ray, a Corpus Christi
attorney, was the guest speaker
at Odem Kiwanis Club Wenes-
day of last week.
He spoke on Law Day and
drew a sharp contrast between
law observance and law abuse.
He pointed out that the unrest
of today is nothing so new in
society. He traced history spat-
tered with such unrest from the
days when Moses came down
jfrom Mt. Sinai to find the
children of Israel worshipping
a golden idol and protesting
against their leadership to the
present day rioting and confron-
tation being experienced over
the world.
He brought the United States
history into clear focus in re-
minding his listeners if the tur-
moil which grew out of the pro-
test demonstrated by immigrant
Irish in New York when their
jobs were taken by the the
freed Negroes in the 1860’s.
Off The
Beaten Path
By Mary Winebrenner-
The older I grow the more
thoroughly convinced I am that
God definietely takes care of the
innocent and foolish old women
who zip along freeways, high-
ways and byways behind the
steering wheel of an automobile.
As for God taking care of the
innocent we have to but look
around us to see how daring
little boys and girls are snatched
from dangers ranging from tod-
dling out into pools of water to
strolling into the path of auto-
mobiles driven by others as well
as “foolish old women”.
When I purchased a 1966
Falcon I turned in as part pay-
ment an earlier model Falcon
which was a better car when
it was turned in than that new
Falcon has ever proved to be.
First of all it almost took an
Act of Congress to get the Ford
agency which sold me the 1966
model to adjust the car where
I could keep it running. In the
final go round to get the car ad-
justed I all but demanded the
head of the repair shop to do the
work on the car himself. He
graciously consented to do so.
He took the car for a spin around
the block to come back and say
to me, “Mrs. Winebrenner, I do
not see how you have ever used
this car at all with the carbure-
tor set where it is.” (I believe
it was the carburetor he said
was out of adjustment — I am
not too well acquainted with car
parts). In about five minutes the
trouble was corrected and I
drove out of the Ford lot with
the car operating beautifully.
But my enjoyment in driving
the car was short-lived. Within
three months after I had pur-
chased the car I received notice
from the Ford general office
instructing me to have the steer-
ing gear checked at a certain
Ford agency since the 1966 mo-
del was showing up to have
steering gear defects. I took the
car for the check after driving
by and talking with the mecha-
nic who had taken the tick out
of the carburetor for me. As I
was enroute to the town where
I was to have the steering gear
checked.
I waited my turn in line to get
the check made. After wliat I
felt was a cursory check I was
told the mechanism was in or-
der, and I was waved on down
the line for the next 1966 Falcon
to take its place in for checking.
Last week after having zipped
up and down the highways, some
times at the top speed limit, for
nearly three years I have amaz-
zed when I took the car in
to a garage in Odem to find why
the horn had quit sounding to
have the mechanic tell me the
steering wheel was about off the
car! Instantly I thought of that
notice from the Ford office about
defective steering mechanism on
the 1966 model Falcons.
It makes me shiver to think
how fast I could have taken
that last “one-way trip” had that
steering wheel come off while
I was zipping along the highway,
the freeway or a byway. Not
only would I have taken that
last “one-way trip,” but I might
have taken one or more other
people with me.
Now, when I turn the ignition,
grasp the steering wheel and
press the accelerator to put my
1966 Falcon in motion I have
cold chills run up and down my
spine.

what
should
a funeral
cost?
We feel it should cost
whatever each family
chooses to spend according
to their needs and desires.
That is why we go to great
lengths to provide complete
freedom of selection,
made in privacy, with full ”
information and from an
entire range of choices.
Our first responsibility is
with the thorough satis-
faction of every family we
serve. That is why we
always make it possible for
your expenditure to be
appropriate with your
circumstances.
And we permit NOTHING
to reduce our personal
concern for individual needs.
Should you select us to
serve, you alone determine
what you will spend.
