From windshield wipers to
mufflers, Dart components
have been designed to give

"The compact Dart for
1963,” Nichols said, “offers a

all the things that buyers look

Boys Ranch
Two Electra youths, Johnny
and Bobby Souther have join-
ed their brother, Jerry and
are now making their home
at Cal Farley’s Boys Ranch
near Amarillo.
In a letter from Mr. Far-
ley this week he stated the
three boys are fine young
men and are really happy to
be at the ranch together.
The boys arrived at the
ranch in time to participate
in the opening of the new in-,
door swinjniing pool. The pool
was donated’ 'to Boys Ranch
by the Sams Foundation of
Brownsville.
“The new pool is not only
a recreational center but a
vital part of the year-round
athletic program. It will en-
able all of the boys to parti-
cipate in a single activity at
the same time, something
that has never been possible,”
Jay Taylor, member of
board of directors added.

The Valley View Warriors
recorded their first win of the
season Friday night at Muen-

a reminder
that railroads must prohibit
trespassing on their property
in the interest of safety is is-
sued by R. W. Brewer, chief
special agent for the Fort
Denver Railway
Worth and
Company.
Pointing out that hunting
licenses do not
convey the privilege of tres-
passing, Mr. Brewer said the
ban is strictly enforced by all
railroads in order to protect
sportsmen and the public gen-
erally, and to prevent damage
to railroad facilities from
careless use of firearms.
Firing at game near tele-
graph, telephone and signal
installations frequently re-
sults in gun shot damage to
these facilities and could prec-
ipitate a major disaster on a
busy rail system, since inter-
ruptions of signals and com-
munications jeopardize the
safety of train crews and
passengers, Mr. Brewer stat-
ed.
He also warned that tres-
passers run the risk of being
trapped on trestles, or caught
between rails and ties in the
path of high-speed trains.
For these reasons, he noted,
it is important that the grow-
ing number of hunters and
fishermen be cautioned that
they are expected to observe
the “no trespassing” signs al-
ong the railroad right of way.
