Do your safety
shopping early
The Texas Department of Pub-
lic Safety warned motorists of
the inconveniences of a last-
minute rush at safety inspection
stations before the deadline, April
15.
More than 3,000,000 of the 4,00,-
000 Texas motor vehicles have
yet to receive their 1959 safety
inspections sticker.
In urging motorists to “do their
safety shopping early” and avoid
the rush at the 4,400 inspection
stations, the s fety department
warned that those who fail to do
so will be subject to traffic sum-
mons after April 15. The average
cost of the safety inspection since
the program began six years ago
is $1.19 for needed repairs and
$1 for the inspection fee.
The inspection stations check
such items as brakes, lights, horns
mirrors and windshield wipers
and have found that 39 per cent
of the vehicles have needed some
adjustment or -repair.

Seasons end,
but Wildlife
faces trouble
It’s completely over. The 1958-
59 hunting season except for rab-
bits and squirrels in some coun-
ties, ended with the close of /the
pupil season January 16. Duck
and goose season ended January
14.
It was the heaviest season since
controlled hunting, according to
the Director of Law Enforcement
of the Game and Fish Commiss-
ion.
“More people killed more quail
and deer than in years,” the Di-
rector said. “Despite this heavy
kill our wardens also report an
abundance of game still in the
field. Our concern now is for the
carry-over. Rats are responsible
in many area for a tremendously
heavy loss of quail. In some areas
they have destroyed the food and
the quail are literally starving
to death.”
A heavy freeze or prolonged
bad weather might also be damag-
ing to the deer population, where
there is a surplus, or where the
feed crop is insufficient, the Di-
rector warned.
He also reminded hunters that
wardens still will be busy' in the
field1 .and that arrests will be made
for out-of-season hunting.
