Visit your local authorized Chevrolet dealer and see how much more Chevy has to offer!
TS<e a tip from the experts
their own words . . . and from on-
the-record facts and figures: More
than ever, Chevrolet gives you more
than any other of the leading low-
priced three! More room to relax in,
for instance. A sampling of official
dimensions reported to A.M.A.*
makes this clear. Chevy front seat
hip room, for one thing, is up to
5.9 inches wider than comparable
cars. And Chevy even offers more
front seat head room than all but
one of the high-priced cars!
Best Brakes Not only bigger,
but built with bonded linings for up
to 66% longer life. Just to prove
what’s what, Chevy out-stopped
both of the "other two” in a
NASCARt-conducted test of re-
peated stops from highway speeds.
Best Style It’s the only car of
the leading low-priced 3 that’s un-
mistakably modern in every line.
“In its price class,” says POPULAR
SCIENCE magazine, “a new high
in daring styling.”
Best Engine Every motor mag-
azine has given Chevrolet’s stand-
ard and Corvette V8’s unstinted
praise. As SPORTS CARS ILLUS-
TRATED puts it: “. . . surely the
most wonderfully responsive engine
available today at any price.”
Best Ride MOTOR TREND
magazine calls Chevy “. . . the
smoothest, most quiet, softest rid-
ing car in its price class.” You’ll be
able to tell this yourself instantly,
once you take the wheel.
Best Economy No doubt about
this: two Chevrolet 6's won their
class in the famous Mobilgas Econ-
omy Run, got the best mileage of
any full-size ear, 22.38 miles per
gallon—with Powerglide.

BIBLE THOUGHT
The night cometh when no man can work. John 9:4
SMALL TOWN ATTITUDES
ONE of the worst ills confronting America’s small com-
munities is the defeatist and belligerent attitude of a hand-
ful of persons who never did anything for the town and
never will, yet they set themselves up as sort of watch dogs,
or rather critics, of the accomplishments of others. They
like to yak-yak against local organizations doing this or not
doing that such as bringing new industries to the town, vet
they decline or refuse to be a part of such organizations
and thus be in a real position to know the facts and, more-
over, be in a position to put their ’’bright ideas” in prac-
tice.
Most of these community knockers in every community
cannot point to one thing that they have ever done for the
community. All they know how to do is to find fault with
what the C of C, the local newspaper and men’s and women’s
civic organizations have accomplished through the years. If
they would spend a few dollars a year to become a member
of, say the Chamber of Commerce, they would soon learn
that new industries and community improvements are not
picked off of trees like pecans. All community improve-
ments need community team work.
When, and if, the time ever comes that town critics
can point to some definite community improvement which
they themselves sponsored and nursed to success, then they
might have some reason for criticizing what others do. Un-
til then, they will better serve their community by keeping
their mouths shut. What chronic critics fail to realize is
that some of the accomplishments that have been made in
spite of them instead of because of them are being enjoyec
by them and members of their families.
A glance at a recent statement by Governor Luther
Hodges of North Carolina is in order. During the last
three years North Carolina has added new industries valued
at six hundred million dollars. These industries have pro-
vided North Carolina with an additional payroll of one
hundred, seventy five million dollars a year for around 60.-
000 new workers. Commenting recently on this ac-
complishment, Gov. Hodges said: “The deciding factor has
been the attitude of the people in a community toward in-
dustry they now have, and the industry they may acquire.”
Nocona is in the unusual position of having four leather
goods companies which contribute immeasureably to the
city’s overall economy. As a people, we need to protect
and promote them and join hands for even more industry
for the community's future. Nocona’s future depends as
the future of North Carolina on. as Governor Hodges said.
«*.... the attitude of the neonle in a communitv toward in-
dustry they now have, and the industry they may acquire.”
SPECIAL TAXES—WHEN DO THEY
END IF THEY END?
IF the American people had not been hoodwinked as
many times as they have been by so-called “special” and
“temporary” taxes, they would be inclined to pay attention
to today’s pleas for new taxes.
One of these so-called “temporary” taxes, the tax on
travel, is an outstanding example. Another is the tax on
cosmetics and jewelry, which the Washington bureaucrate
class as “luxuries,” but which, in reality, are necessities to
the American people of today. Both of these taxes were
imposed during the early days of World War Two and both
were at that time termed as purely “temporary.” The
war has been over for more than fourteen years and still
we have these “temporary” taxes.
The travel tax, for instance, was imposed upon the
American people with a view of discouraging travel at a
time when trains, planes and buses were needed for military
personnel. At least, that was the bureaucrats’ announced
reason. It had a point that day, but the point has long
been erased, yet we have the tax. The thought persists
that the bureaucrats had no intention at that time of ever
erasing the tax. That was their way of hiding behind the
cloak of “emergency” to add new taxes to the already over-
burdened American taxpayers.
America’s railroads have for many years held their
actual passenger transportation costs to a minimum. So
have the airlines and the bus companies, but they are in a
better position than the railroads because to a large extent
they operate out of taxpayer-built and supported airports
and taxpayer-built and supported highways.
Today, the “temporary” transportation tax is costing
America’s travelers around $200,000,000 a year over and
above the actual cost of their travel. America’s railroads
are now operating at a deficit of around $700,000,000 a
year. Some of the reason for this rests in the totally dis-
criminary transportation tax which was supposed to have
been on the books only until World War Two ended.
The transportation tax is discriminatory because it
places a burden upon those who do not own automobiles and
must travel by public carrier; it discriminates also because
those who travel abroad do not have to pay it, and it is dis-
couraging “See America First”. Were the tax to be re-
moved, Uncle Sam would gain because income taxes would
increase by reason of removal of the deductive transporta-
tion tax. Sooner or later, our bureaucrats are going to
have to arrive at the reali Tition that the taxpayers’ pocket-
books are not bottomless and sooner or later, too. they are
going to have to arrive at the conclusion that they have
hoodwinked the American people too long. We fought
Great Britain in the Revolutionary war to escape excessive
and unjust taxes. We could rise up again.
