The Texas Highway Commission
today approved expenditure of
$23,000 for highway safety and
betterment in the Counties of
Erath and Palo Pinto on State
Highway 108 during 1965, accord-
ing to District Engineer R. W.
Crook of Fort Worth.
He said a total of 12.6 miles on
State Highway 108 in these two
counties will be involved. Work
will be under the supervision of
George W. Black, Senior Resident
Engineer at Stephenville.
The work is part of the High-
way Commission’s statewide war
ntraffic accidents. Statewide,
the Commission appropriated more
than $20 million to make Texas
highways safer and better.
Commissioners okayed 432 pro-
jects in 180 Texas counties under
the 1966 State Highway Safety
and Betterment Program. Improv-
ed for the safety and convenience
of Texans now traveling 50 billion
miles a year will be 2,661 miles of
highways.
The 3-man commission, policy-
making body for the Texas High-
way Deportment, earmarked $19,-
936,400 for consrtuction and $66,-
000 for right of way under the
annual Program.
Today’s action was another move
marking concern of the Texas
Highway Commission with the na-
tions chilling highway death toll.
Under current programs tha High-
way Department has also:
1. Begun installation of $1.5
million worth 'of safety devices on
travel-ways with high accident
experience.
2. Undertaken extensive modifi-
cation of road signs and mark-
ings in line with higher speed lim-
its and auto design changes.

lence in 4-H Club work. These

million dollars a day to improve
and extend the highway system,
and every last dime may be real-
istically considered an investment
in traveler safety.”
Petry pointed out that express-
way facilities are 2.5 times as safe
as the two-lane highways they re-
place or supplement. “What's
more,” he said, ‘there’s a ‘safety
feedback’ whenever a new high-
way route la built, for it invariably
relieves traffic congestion — and
therefore reduces accidents — on
the, route it replaces."
Petry said tha program author-
ized today is in keeping with Pres-
ident Johnson’s recent request
that state highway departments
give priority to projects that would
eliminate hazards on highway sec-
tions with high accident experi-
ence.
The Chairman aaid that in addi-
tion to its benefits to safety on
the 66j)00-milo Texas- , highway
network, the 1906 Safety and Bet-
terment Pregnant “will perpetua-
te and pro tart the taxpayers’ in-
vestment at Well over- $4 billion
in highway sys$am.”
improvements such as surface
widening, bridge widening and re
placement, Ifase strengthening,
seal coating, resurfacing, and re-
building of shoulders will be made
by the Texas Highway depart-
ment under the program, Petry
said.
District Engineer Crook said a
total of 126.2 miles in this highway
district would be involved under
the safety and betterment pro-
gram. He placed otal coat for the
district at $1,020,000.
The following improvement pro-
ject will take place on State High-
way 108 in £t«th and Palo Pinto

Things Rare & Unusual
This is a pretty nice old world, her were active before I was born.
Don’t think of anybody I want to In my youth I was baptised in the
criticise. Little minds unaware of old original Christian Church
their own ignorance put in their there. Naturally it is sacred
worthless time criticizfrg stal- ground to me. Satisfied with my
wart souls whom they know noth- religion. Hope you are with yours,
ing about. Often people they have- I well remember in my youth
n’t spoken to in years, if ever. | brave heroic stalwart souls like T.
I have had some unusual happy
experiences. We though one of my
stocker cows had lost her calf.
We put her in the lot. She appear-
ed to be very sick and sent for
the docior. He treated her. 1
thought she would die'. She went
to her calf which I thought was
dead. So noting is as bad as it
may seem. I am a cow and caff bet-
ter off than I thought I would be.
Had another unusual experience.
A friend of my late mother’s went
with me to the farm. We practic-
ed shooting a circle on a box with
pistols. To my delight and sur-
prise we hit the small circle. We
went to Fort Worth and took some
dancing lessons at Carl and Toka's
dance studio. It was a lot of whole-
aome pastime and fun.
Without this experience I woul 1
not have known how to pass judg-
ment nor have a sensible opinion
about the subject.
On a r^ent Friday night we
went to a little church where a
group of God’s children worship
their Lord. They were honest and
sincere in their convictions. Sun-
day night we went to the Christian
H. Harrell, C. C. Baxter, Ike Hum-
ble, Jim Daley, Bro. Bledsoe etc.
were active in the vineyard of their
Lord in the Christian Church in
Dublin. They have gone to their
eternal reward. I admire and re-
spect folks like that and surely
there must be a special place in
the Kingdom for them.
It seems there just must be.
I hope the time will never come
in our lives when we fail to want
to go to church somewhere on Sun-
day. I am thankful I was taught
these sacred principles and truths
at my mother's knee in my child-
hood my father was dead.
