All of this does not take into

ise Men and all of the other well-
loved and reverent symbols sur-
rounding the Birth of the Savior.
These Christmas cards carry
appropriate verses and inspiring
Biblical texts. Religious leaders re-
port that recent tremendous in-
crease in church attendance reflect

the return of the Christmas greet-
ing especially designed for those
in Uncle Sam's uniform. Very pop-
ular during World War II, this
special division again offers a
wide variety of designs and special
titles for men and women in all
branches of the Armed Forces.
In the l'J5l Christmas cards, the,
verses are somewhat shorter and
more informal than in the past.
But they still retain the true spirit
of Christmas which never grows
old.

Richardson, will sing. An accordian
solo will be given by Miss Charley

A clever unique scheme was car-
ried out by Miss Mary Fee as she

A Message Of importance To Every Automobile Driver
In The State of Texas
REITS MOT YN SUM LI KIM MOOT THE
NEW TEXAS "SAFETY lESTORSWUTY LAW'

ENFORCEMENT BEGINS JANTARY 1, 1952. On this date, the new Safety Responsibility Law, as passed by
the Legislature, goes into effect. This law was designed to protect you against financially irresponsible drivers and
owner* of motor vehicles involved in accidents. It affects all drivers and motor vehicle owners (except Federal,
State, County and City-owned cars).
WHAT MI 'ST YOU HO AFTER AS ACCIDENT? I'nder existing laws, you mast file a written report to the
Depart ment of Public Safety if your car is involved in an accident where there is a death, an injnry or property
damage in excess of $25. tfeder the new law, a written report must be filed within ten days if your ear is in an
accident resulting in death, injury or property damage in excess of $1M.
YOl" DON'T HA\ E TO CARRY LIABILITY INSURANCE* BITT ... If you are not insured against bodily injnry
and property damage liability, you must be able to deposit with the Department of Public Safety security equal to
ihe estimated damage, not exceeding $15,000.M, to cover all claims growing out of an accident anywhere in
Texas in which you or yowr motor vehiclo were involved. If you cannot establish financial responsibility for the
future; your driver's license and your motor vehicle license pistes are automatically suspended.
IT'S EASY TO ESTABLISH FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY with a motor vehicle liability insurance .policy. If
you do not'now have such a policy, call your local insurance agent today. He is a qualified insurance counselor
who will be happy to advise you concerning your needs.
W HAT IS THE MINIMUM OP YOt'R LIABILITY? The law permits each driver to establish the following mini-
mum limits of liability: up to $5 000.®0 for injuries sustained by one person; up to S1M0M0 for all personal
injuries resulting from one accident, and up to $5,000.00 For property damage. Yen do not hare to establish such
liability but M is the easiest way.
SELECT AN ESTABLISHED INSURANCE AGENT. The agents listed below know the insurance business and
represent well known dspeudaUc capital stock insurance companies. These agents are not of the kind that are
here today and gone tomorrow. They support all worthy projects for the betterment of your community. Their
names are listed in the telephone directory. A telephone call will find them ready to serve yon—not only NOW—
but YEARS from now—Call the one of your choice.
