There is an old slang expression
that would make a good slogan for
living a longer and a more comfort-
able life, and that is “Be your age.”
According to the State Health Offi-
cer, Dr. George W. Cox, many per-
sons injure their health and endanger
their life through indulgence un-
suited for their age and physical
condition.
“While a young man in prime phy-
sical condition may benefit from a
fast game of tennis, older men and
women have been known to collapse
and suffer a serious heart attack fol-
lowing a game. The same thing ap-
plies to golfing, swimming and other
vigorous sports,” Dr. Cox said.
During the hot summer months, it
is of special importance that you
know your physical limitations and
indulge in only such activities as will
benefit and not harm your physical
condition.
“Persons of middle age should
never participate in activities re-
quiring violent physical exertion and
should confine their physical exer-
cise to such bounds as their doctor
prescribes,” Dr. Cox asserted.
The State Health Officer suggested
that all persons of middle age be ex-
amined by their physician, before
planning their summer vacation ac-
tivities. A vacation can easily be
more exhausting than refreshing and
in such event, more harm than ben-
efit results from the time thus spent.
Fishing, boating, hiking in modera-
tion and many other light recreations
can be engaged in by the older peo-
ple who must avoid heart strain, and
it is a wise precaution to have your
doctor advise you as to what sort of
vacation you should plan.

AUSTIN.—Texas cities and com-
munities suffered 18 percent more
from criminals during the first three
months of this year than for the same
period in 1948.
The Department of Public Safety
estimated Friday there were 23,278
crimes against lives and property
during January, February and
March, compared to 19,664 for th*
three months last year.
“Of course this was the seasonal
period during which crimes are
usually most numerous,” said Glenn
H. McLaughlin, chief of the depart-
ment’s bureau of identification and
records.
“Past records show that the crime
rate begins to climb in September
and continues to increase through
April and or Morch, when it goes in-
to a summer slump. Don’t ask me
why, it just does it.”
“I believe the crime rate this year
will level off and drop below the
present 18 percent,” McLaughlin
said, “but I’m afraid we will show an
increase over last year.”
The estimates of McLaughlin’s de-
partment are based on reports from
county sheriffs and city chiefs of po-
lice. He estimated that about half
of the counties and cities in Texas
send in regular reports.
By virtue of an order of sale, is-
sued by the Clerk of the District
Court of Grayson County, Texas, on
the 9th day of May, 1949, as directed
by the terms of said judgment.
As Sheriff of said Grayson County,
I have seized, levied upon and will,
on the first Tuesday in July, 1949,
same being the 5th day of July, 1949,
at the courthouse door of said Gray-
son County, between the hours of 2
o’clock and 4 o’clock P. M. of said
day, proceed to sell for cash to the
highest bidder all the right, title and
interest of N. W. Woods, et al, in and
to the following described real estate
levied upon the 19th day of May,
1949, as the property of N. W. Woods,
et al:

Beginning at a stake twenty
fatal
drink-
that a
greater
chance of killing someone in an acci-
dent than a sober driver, just as a
pedestrian struck by a car lowers his
chance to life if he has been drink-
ing.
The report shows that 16 Texas
counties had 20 or more traffic deaths
in 1948, while 24 sparsely-populated
counties had no fatalities at all. Bor-
den, Cottle, Orion, Jim Hogg, Kent,
Loving, Rains, Roberts and Schleich-
er Counties reported no traffic deaths
for the second straight year.
AUSTIN.—More than half of last
year’s fatal highway accidents in
Texas apparently were not the fault
of “the other guy.”
The annual report of the Texas
Department of Public Safety today
showed that three out of five such
mishaps involved only one motor ve-
hicle.
In analyzing the causes of last
year’s record toll of traffic death, the
department pointed out that one-
fourth of the fatalities on rural roads
resulted from a driver losing control
and running off the highway.
Total rural and urban traffic
deaths for the year in Texas was
2,059, an all-time high. An estimated
60,000 persons were injured. Rural
accidents were the big killers, claim-
ing 1,495 or 73 percent.
The stated goal of the safety de-
partment is “less than 1,949 fatalities
in 1949.” Director Homer Garrison
said that accident reports to date this
year are slightly encouraging. Al-
though Texans are traveling more
road-miles than ever before, the
present fatality rate is about three
percent lower than for this time in
1948.
According to the annual report, the
number one cause of rural accidents
was “speed too fast for conditions.”
Included in that category are failure
to slow down when making a curve
or adjusting to other hazards.
Added emphasis was put on the
fact that one-fourth of the vehicles
involved in rural fatal accidents were
less than one year old, indicating
that “showing off” by drivers ranked
high on the killer list.
Despite continuous efforts to keep
drunks off the highway, they still
played a major roll in 1948 accidents.
In four out of every ten rural
wrecks, a driver “had been
ing.” Statistics also show
drinking driver stands a
fak.-

PUBLIC NOTICES NOW MANDATORY—Governor Beauford Jester
is shown here as he affixes his signature to Senate Bill No. 375. The
Bill, known as the Mandatory Publication Law, requires that all public
notices called for by Texas Statutes be published, or the official respon-
sible for such publication suffer loss of salary, oi' removal from office
for neglect of duty. Senator James E. Taylor of Kerens, pictured on
Jester’s left, sponsored the legislation through the Senate. House spon-
sor was Phillip L. Willis of Kaufman. Covered by the law are all
public officers of the state, counties, cities, and school districts. Gover-
nor Jester signed the bill into law June 8, and it became immediately
effective.
above described judgment and fore- bert Rush, deceased, as Defendants.
-1—-- —---!— r— The nature of said suit being sub-
stantially as follows, to-wit:
Plaintiff alleges that defandants
made, executed and delivered to him
their certain promissory note on the
10th day of June, 1948, for the sum
of Two Thousand Three Hundred
Seventy and 42/100 ($2,370.42) Dol-
lars payable to the order of Auto Fi-
nance Company of Sherman, Texas.
That said note was payable in
monthly installments of $50.00 due
and payable on June 12th, 1948, and
$75.00 due and payable each suc-
ceeding month thereafter until May
9th, 1949, when the entire balance
became due. That said note bears
10% interest and reasonable attor-
neys fees if placed in the hands of an
attorney for collection.
That said note is now past due and
unpaid. That said note is secured by
a chattie mortgage on a Ford truck,
motor number 99T-449372, 1941 mod-
el-equipped with 4 yard hydraulic
dump-bed. That said motor vehicle
was registered in the name of Albert
Rush and was being used by both of
said defendants herein; that aftei' the
death of defendant, Albert Rush, the
defendant, Sam Gentle, took posses-
sion of and is now using said Ford
truck. That the chattie mortgage
was given as part security on the
above indebtedness, which was exe-
cuted by each of said defendants.
Wherefore plaintiff prays judg-
ment of the Court for principal, in-
terest at the rate of 10%, attorneys
fees and cost of suit and for foreclo-
sure of his lien on the above de- ■
scribed vehicle and for such other
and further relief, special and gen-
eral, in law and equity, that he may
be justly entitled to.
