Chrysler uses hydraulic power, always in effect, to
do two things. First, it does 4/5 the steering work
as you turn the wheel. Second, we’ve cut the
amount of wheel turn needed by over 1/3.
Parking or cruising, you get more and easier
control than ever before. In sand, snow, or ruts,
the hydraulic'power is always there to keep the
front wheels from “steering back” at you. You get
the same amount and feel of control all the time .. .
full-time ease and full-time safety.
Actually, the differences, both in engine
performance and in steering safety and ease are
impossible to put in words... but just as impossible
not to feel the moment you get into a Chrysler
and drive it! Why not see your Chrysler dealer and
do that, soon?

B:BB: : B
tast year Chrysler introduced its new FirePower
JLj V-8 engine, and America’s first passenger-car
full-time power steering. Both new ideas “took
hold” in a big way.
Today, others are announcing “new engines”
and “power steering” . . . but with some basic
differences worth keeping in mind if you’re buying
a new car.
First: about “new engines.” The fact is, a
really new engine design happens only once in a
great while. It did happen in the FirePower V-8.
Its 180 h.p. was only incidental to its basic new
design. Its key idea is a hemispherical combustion
chamber, which makes even non-premium gasoline
develop more usable power than other designs can
get from premium fuel.
Only Chrysler engineering has so far mastered
this design. Several cars do have some power
increase, in terms of previous designs. The im-
portant fact is that FirePower is not a “warmed-
over” engine, but brand new in performance,
construction, and efficiency.
In power steering, too, there are basic differences.

1952 Texas Highway Maps
Show 854 Park Locations
The shortest distance between
two points is established by an old
axiom, but from the standpoint of
motorists, the shortest distance be-
tween two points can only be es-
tablished by the Official Highway
Travel Map.
Mr. D. C. Greer, State Highway
Engineer, announced today that the
Department’s new 1952 Official
Highway Travel Map is now avail-
able free to the general public.
The Official Highway* Map is re-
vised and published annually. It
is used by all state agencies as
the basis for computing official
car mileage. The new map is 28”
by 36” and is chock-full of travel
guidance and information on Texas.
The material is illustrated and in
color for easy comprehension and
appearance. Several important
changes have been made in this
year’s map which include a topo-
graphical relief drawing along with
the addition of symbols which show
the locations of the 854 roadside
parks and turnouts. Special em-
phasis has been placed on indicat-
ing various recreational, scenic,
and historical spots. All U.S. and
State highways are shown. The
more important Farm and Ranch
to Market roads which serve the
cross-country motorists are also
shown. The travel information re-
flected on the map is designed to
supply' motorists with guidance
needed for safety, comfort, and
pleasure while traveling Texas
highways.
The back side of the map is jam-
packed with factual and pictorial
Texas history. The story of Texas

Reason
told when he got home from Eng-
land.
“Over in England, doctors in
the National Health Service asked
Parliament for a law requiring
their patients to obey their orders.”
“How can they do that?” the
Little Woman demanded. “I thought
every Englishman’s home was his
castle, where nobody could order
him around.”
“Nowadays an Englishman’s cas-
tle is a museum, and he sells
tickets at the door to raise money
for taxes,” said George, grinning.
“And his home’s a flat built some-
where by the government.
“Since the Health Service works
under the government, it’s quite
proper that they shouldn’t waste
tax funds on prescriptions for peo-
ple who don’t take their medicine.
So they proposed to fine anyone
who asked for a doctor and then
didn’t do as the doctor ordered.”
“Maybe the medicine wouldn’t be
what you needed,” the Mrs. ob-
jected.
“When you start Socialism, you
have to accept the theory that the
planners know best,” George ex-
plained. “You got to believe offi-
cials know what prices are fair,
what needs to be grown or manu-
factured, and what to ship abroad.
And the doctors know best too.”
“Did Parliament pass that bill?”
“I dunno,” said George, sleepily.
“I do know, though, that you’re
more apt to take your medicine
when you have to pay for the pre-
scription and then pay for getting
it filled. That’s why I took my
pills without any law to threaten
me.”
POPULAR—"SPARKLE” for festive parties. Miss Repass
and Howard Hartman, popular singer, include
Pilsenized Southern Select in their party. Men like
the true, dry beer flavor of Southern Select-
women like it because it's light and smooth.

is unfolded with the map. Many
famous milestones and landmarks
are described and portrayed pic-
torially. There are 26 pictures in
full color of the more popular his-
• torical points of interest in the
State with a full caption explain-
ing each scene. A panorama is
used to introduce some of the more
popular historical characters in a
“passing parade” of Texas history.
Included also for the first time
is a map of Mexico, incorporated
with the small U.S. map, showing
the principal highways and cities,
however, it is primarily for geo-
graphical purposes.
This new map can be obtained
by mailing the map card distributed
by the Tax Assessor-Collector’s of-
fice with the sale of license plates,
or by writing directly to the Texas
Highway Department, Austin 14,
Texas. Copies are also available in
any Highway District Office or the
Highway Travel Information Bu-
reau.
POPULAR— LIGHT and SMOOTH—yes, here is the beer
brewed the way you like it. In bottles, in cans, 6 paks
or cartons, any way you buy Southern Select you will
agree with the popular people who say, "I've joined
the Select Set"—for life!

Amateur Radio Operators of the
South Texas Emergency Net are
to hold their seventh annual con-
vention at Kerrville, Texas, May
9th, 10th and 11th.
All Amateur Radio Operators,
Civil Defense Organizations and
those interested in communication
activities are invited to attend.
Get-together Friday afternoon.
Registration at Blue Bonnet Hotel
Saturday at 9:00 a.m. Lectures,
Transmitter hunts, events, contests
and fun programs will be continu-
ous, up to the final banquet. There
will be prizes a-plenty. Pre-regis-
ter with Cedrig Toler, Blue Bonnet
1 Hotel, Kerrville. Hotel or Court
(reservations can be arranged. Fee,
$2.50, includes a worthwhile prize
drawing.
S.T.E.N. now has 150 active mem-
bers, comprehensively covering all
of South Texas. While there has
been no major communication
emergencies during the past year,
they answer roll-call and drill
weekly and are ready to take over
Emergency Communications as they
did during the ice storm in 1951
when they handled Weather Bu-
reau reports, wire and pole damage
reports for Western Union, Tele-
phone and Power Companies, train
dispatching for the railroads, ur-
gent and death telegrams and hun-
dreds of important personal mes-
sages throughout the stricken area
where all wires were down. The
Net is closely tied in with Civil
Defense Organizations, Sheriff and
Police Departments, The National
Guard, the Naval Reserve and the
Military Amateur Radio System.
S.T.E.N. is alerted whenever ' a
storm approaches the coast and ties
in with adjacent States whenever
disaster strikes beyond its area.
Like a Volunteer Fire Department,
the members receive no pay, they
furnish their own equipment and
devote their time willingly in the
interest of Service to the Com-
munity. There are no dues nor re-
quirements beyond regular attend-
ance at roll call and a pledge to
serve whenever needed.
The suppression of Television
Interference will be the main prob-
lem under discussion. STEN mem-
bers have clean signals and will
cooperate with their neighbors who

George Rimer, turned a wary
head on his pillow as his wife
marched into the bedroom with a
bottle of pills and a large glass of
water.
“Time for your medicine,” she
announced.
“I don’t think I’ll take any more
of that stuff,” he grumbled. “I’ve
had four of those pills, and my
cold’s no better.”
“You can’t expect to get over a
cold in half a day,” Mrs. R. told
him firmly. “Why pay the doctor
and the, druggist for medicine if
you don’t take it ?

George agreed. “Reminds me of a

Campfire
Program
GivenP-TA
Refugio.—The Tanda Campfire
group, under the leadership of
Mrs. Gonzalo Capestran, was in
charge of the program, when the
Parent-Teacher’s Association met
Wednesday afternoon in the school
cafeteria. Martha Perales gave the
history of the group, which was
organized July 18, 1951, and Eva
Rivera told of their activities. Mrs.
Henry Contreras is assistant lead-
er.
Gerald T. Bissetf was speaker
for the afternoon, his subject,
“What makes good schools”. He
reminded the group that a school
is no better than the community
in which it exists, and that there
must be harmony between the com-
munity, staff and students, balance
in the school program, and co-
operation between parents and
teachers.
Mrs. Edward. Schultz, president,
was in charge of business.
Principal Burke Hill reported
for the nominating committee a
slate of officers for the coming
year as follows: President, Mrs. C.
L. Rainey; First Vice-President,
Mrs. T. C. Meitzen; Second Vice-
President, Mrs. L. K. Millhollon;
Third Vice-President, Mrs. Leslie
Jeter; Treasurer, Mrs. W. D. Mac-
Keen; Secretary, Miss Elsie Pea-
cock; and Parliamentarian, Mrs.
L. A. Weiss, Jr. These were elected
by the group and were named dele-
gates to the spring convention to
be held in Victoria March 25 and
26.
Father’s night will be held on
April 10.
Hostesses for the social period
were Mrs. Gonzalo Capestran, Mrs.
Henry Contreras, Ramiro Rocha,
Mrs. Jose Cantu, Mrs. Edward
Trevino, Mrs. Paulo Trevino, and
Mrs. Candaliro Capestran.
