Motorcycles, motor scootep

as motorcycles as far as the
laws that govern them are con-
cerned. They are governed,
except for certain equipment
by the same
rules and regulations as pas-
senger cars. Therefore, if you

air parcel post which are des-
tined far paints fi0har lt~r
the second postal zone, which
is generally approximately 150
miles from Sanger for the dur-
ation of the rail strike, if it

" We are prepared to handle
any letters or parcels addressed
to any point provided first class
or air mail postage is paid on
the items," Richardson said.
But he cautioned that service
will be temporarily suspended

newspapers, third class matter
and fourth class parcel post
packages addressed to points
beyond the second parcel post

Labor Da y is a day which
honors the working forces of
ournatioa, a day to honor the
efforts of our working people
who help build our great nation.
This Labor Day weekend marks
the closing of the formal va-
cation season and many motor-
ists will be taking advantage
of this time for a short trip on
the highways to visit relatives
or a trip to the lake for a week-
end of fun Just prior to tire
epUMLof and fa* be-
ginning of afraty bock season.
These wean comments of Cap-
tain W. J, white of tire Texas
Highway Patrol in Dallas as he
and his staff began making
preparations to handle the ex-
pected large flow of traffic
in the 12 North Central Tex-
as counties under his command.
" The highway traffic is going
to be heavy", warned the Cap-
tain. "and we need the co-
operation of every driver".
Captain White urged motor-
ists in the North Central Texas
area to exercise keen judge-
ment in the use of the new 70
nile-per-hour- speed limit.
"On many of our highways in
this area, 70 mile-per-hour
could not be considered a safe
speed at all times", he said.
"We feel tire new law will
help accomplish the efficient
movement of traffic on the
highways, which we believe
was tire objective of tire speed
legislation; however, motor-
ists should accept the liber-
alization of the speed limit
with caution and respond
sanely to the confidence the

Sanger is a town of bicycles
and motor scooters. This be-
comes more evident with tire
nearness of school.opening.
„ Young people in small.towns street in a safe place,
enjoy a great deal of freedom 9. Do not ride on streets where
in riding bicycles and scooters, there is much traffic.
However, they should remem-
ber that safety practices are
just as important i n s: all
towns as in larger ones.
Below is a list of safety prac-
tices from tire Department of
Public Safety Handbook which
should be studied by parents as
well as young people.
