Mr. Paul J. Tierney, Inter-
state Commerce Commissioner
has commented, “There can be
little disagreement that the
railroads ara experiencing a
rate of return which is lower
than most industries and that
they are a eyclieally-sensitive
industry, being among the first
to suffer a loss of income dur-
ing a business recession.”
Even Plato, who lived years
before Christ, wondered, “What
is happening to our young peo-
ple? They disrespect their eld-
ers and disobey their parents.
They ignore he laws. They riot
in the street, inflamed wiith
wild notions Their morals are
decaying. What is to become of
them?
Former United States Post-
master General Lawrence F.
O Brien remarked, "Each ef-
fort to intensively study the
problem of improving the qua-
lity of postal service has led to
virtually the same conclusion;
namely, that meaningful, per-
manent change can come paly
bv effectively removing the pos-
tal service from its present
polit cat enviionment."

If this was true then already, is It not even more
true today! Yet what has been done about all those farmers
who wear only tenants? Is not this euuutry sacrificed to
worthless politics?
Highway post office buses owned by the government
could not be used without fantastic expenses and break-
downs. No one owned them. No one would take care of
them. Then there was a return to private property, with
owners and responsible persons taking the contracts for
mall hauls and carefully managing the trucks. Property was
the power of economy there too.

Those student troubles are discussed also as though those
students would have some right to make those troubles.
Do they own those institutions? Are they there to study or
to make troubles? Have they any responsibility for those
institutions?

Bow And Arrow
Hauling In Bigg
David Smith, a young Austin
bowhunteA, figured the time
was right to go carp shooting
with his archery fishing rig.
So he launched his flat-bo-t
turned boat in Austin's Town
Lake one evening recently and
got into the State record books
by hauling in a 41-pound, 12-
ounce cap.
The fish easily surpasses the
old mark of 23 pounds. 12 ozs.
sot by a Fori Worth fisherman
who got his record fish off a
trotline ia Eagle Mountain Lake
in August, 1968.
Marion Toole, inland fisher-
ies coordinator for the Texas
Parks and Wildlife Depart
ment, said no records have
been kept nationally (on the
largest carp snagged, shot with
arrows or netted, but the hook-
and-line record is 55 pounds,
five ounces. That fish was tak-
en from a Minnesota lake in
1952.
Smith’s fish was 36 inches
long The world record fish
measured 42 inches in length.
Just as in game fishing, the
spring spawning season is a
good one for hunting carp. The
shallows in some lake areas
become heavily populated with
carp and gar as the water
warms up, Toole said.
It's permissible to use a bow
and arrow, gig or other types
of instruments to take rough
fish. But it is unlawful to speai
base, catfish or other game
fish. R also is unlawful to have
game fish in your possession
while hunting carp, Toole said.
Bowfishing for carp can be
done by day or night. Special
arrows arc used with lines at
tached to retrieve the fish after
a hit,
At night, areas of clear wa-
ter can be illuminuted with a
lantern. Preferably, the huntei
stands in the front of a small
boat while a partner paddles
through shallow areas.
It is well, though, to check
fishing regulations before at-
tempting to use unusual tech
niques in catching fish of any
kind. In Texas rough fish are
carp, gar, drum, suckers and
Rio Grande perch,
considered rough fish, and-R
Catfish, however, are not
considered rough fish, and may
not be shot with arrows, snag-
ged or "grabbled” by hand
from nesting places.
National records for fish arc
kept by Field and Stream Ma
gazine. In Texas, statistics on
record fish are kept by the
Department and by the Texas
Outdoor Writers Association.
Nominations for State records

Austin — Texas waters have
claimed 47 lives since the first
of the year and the outdoor re-
creation season has just bare-
ly begun, according to the Tex-
as Parks and Wildlife Depart-
ment.
The Department says the
warm weather during the past
month has brought a flood ol
drowning reports. Most of the
recent drownings occurred
while the victims were engag-
ing in some form of outdoor re-
creation such as swimming,
boating or fishing.
Seventeen of the drownings
were the result of boating ac-
cidents, and three of these vic-
tims were in violation of the
person in the boat.
Swimming accidents account-
ed for eight dorwnings.
Perhaps the most tragic of
the drownings were those of
young children who wandered
away from their parents just
long enough to drown in some
innocent looking body of wat-
er. Several children under six
years old have died this year
near their home in swimming
pools or canals.
Department officials say most
of the drownings could have
been prevented by following
some simple rules: keep a tight
rein on small children around
water; obey the Water Safety
Act which was designed to save
law which requires that a! lives of boaters; and when
Coast Guard approved life \ swimming, know your abilities
jacket l»e on board for eachI and your limitations.

The management of Zaruba
Chevrolet have just returned
from Houston where they re-
ceived first details on the new
Chevrolet small car to be in-
troduced late this summer.
A. Zaruba expressed enthus-
iasm for the new car — cur-
rently codenamed XP-887.
“The new little Chevrolet is
an exciting and positive answer
to the demonstrated need for a
small, economical, durable,
safe, comfortable and well
styled car built in America tc
American tastes,” he said.
Also attending the day long
meeting from Zaruba Chevrolet
Co., wen; Elroy Coldewey, Dan
Ford, and Robert Zaruba.
f‘Chevrolet incited the full
management team of our deal-
ership to the meeting so we can
get a fast start on preparations
to give maximum sales, service
and par's assistance to every
customer the day the new little
car goes on sale," A. Zaruba
said.
The Chevrolet dealer said
the “little car that does every-
thing well” will come in a full
line of four different 2-door mo-
dels, all with front bucket
seats as standard equipment.
Offered will be a four-pas-
senger sedan, a four-passenger
hatchback couple with a fast-
back roof line, a four-passeng-
er station wagon and a one-
passenger panel delivery truck.
Typical of the technological
innovations in the new car is
its all-new light weight over-
head cam engine. The four-cy-
linder engine has a new preci
sion die cast aluminum cylind
er block and has a husky 140
cubic inch displacement.
Chevrolet says the engine de-
livers a maximum combination
of low pollutant emission, fuel
economy and performance. Its
light weight contributes to the
car’s overall stability and ease
of handling. Its torque output
gives excellent performance
both on open highways and in
traffic, while allowing excep-
tional fuel economy.
The engine develops 90 horse-
power. There also is a 1W
horsepower version.
Market potential for the new
car was also discussed at the
meeting attended by the Chev-
rolet dealership ■niaspsrost.
American interest in the “small
car oenoqpt” is bigger than
economy import sales would
indicate, Chevrolet researchers
reported.
“The range of potential buy-
ers is far greater than charact-
eristics of strictly small car
buyers,” they told the dealers.
“We found interest in this type
of car among people of all
ages in a variety of income lev-
els, in rural as well as metro-
politan areas in every part of
the country."
The study also showed that
current foreign car owners are
not prejudiced against a small
car built in this country if it
offers more features and value
than the car they own. Over 60
percent said they would con-
sider buying a domestic small
car.
By using the most advanced
tools and manufacturing tech-
niques, plus an employe moti-
vational program to stimulate
top workmanship, the new car
“is intended to be one of the
highest quality cars ever built
Patrol Busy
Investigating
Area Wrecks
Highway Patrol investigations
were probing into two different
hit and run reports during the-
past weekend.
At 1:45 a. m. Sunday they
were advised that a crash on
Highway 77-A one mile north of
Yoakum involved Jim Vanek of
Houston in a ’66 Chevvie and a <
‘65 Ford Pickup driven by Daniel
Leigh Lucas of Rt. 4 Cuero. After
a side-swipe crash, the pickuf>*
was reported to have driven off
on a rural road.
The next day Lucas claimed
the incident was a robbery and
hijacking attempt but Patrolman
John Aycock ruled it a hit and ■
run and charged him accordingly
in JP Court. Lucas was also
charged with driving without any*
driver's license.
Another hit and run was listed
11:15 p.m. Sunday night in Moul-
ton, with the same patrolman*
investigating. The report showed
a ‘61 Chovvio driven by Sam
James of Moulton and a '63 For<l
Pickup driven by Michael Ilybner
of Rt. 1 Shiner. Hybnrr was
charged with leaving the scene
of an accident and running a
stop sign.
•
Also on the docket was a two-
car collision at Highway 111 an<t
FM 1447 7.2 miles east of Yoakurp *|
Sunday night 10:25 p.m. Involved
were Lounette St. Clair of Yo;f-
kum in a Volkswagen and a ‘60 .J
Ford driven by Virgil Bruce Ver-
non, also of Yoakum.
The rash of accidents was
preceded by a one-car mishap in
which George W. Jackson of Yoa-
kum turned over in a Volks-
wagon 3.3 .miles west of Moulton
Saturday at 6 p.m. He was treat-
ed at Huth Memorial Hospital in
Yoakum for lacerations and other
injuries. The Volkswagen left the
road, turned over twice crossing
