Everyone who has a bank account, a life insur-
ance policy, a U. S. Savings Bond or a share of
stock is a capitalist—a stockholder in the free
enterprise system that makes America’s living
standard the highest in the world. Our enter-
prise system is the fairest method of rewarding
initiative. It’s the American way of doing things.
When someone calls you a capitalist, stick out
your chest. He’s saying you are an American.

Cancer Society must continue un-
abated,” the cancer control lead-
er said. “We cannot conduct our
fight against cancer in this state
without the funds contributed by
the people of Texas. We are still
$100,000 short of our minimum
fund-raising goal of $450,000.”
Mr. Neff urged all Texans to
send contributions to the Texas
cancer control fight. Address
your donations to: Cancer, Care
of Postmaster, to your local post
office. Postmasters are instruct-
ed to forward such contributions
to the American Cancer Society
for its fight against the disease.

Humble Introduces
New Motor Oil Here
At more than 2,000 retail sta-
tions in Texas, Humble Oil and
Refining Company this week is
introducing new Esso Extra Mo-
tor oil, companion product to
premium Esso Extra gasoline.
The motoring public is hear-
ing about this new detergent-type
motor oil through one of the most
aggressive advertising campaigns
ever placed behind a product by
Humble. Advertising is being
carried in more than 400 Texas
newspapers, and this effort is be-
ing supplemented by radio, pos-
ter board, point of sale, and di-
rect mail programs.
Service stations in cities, towns,
July 9th will mark the 44th an-
niversary of one of the most
famous train rides in history—
Death Valley Scotty’s special run
from Los Angles to Chicago on a
schedule that cropped 13 hours
and 2 minutes from the previous
record.
On July 8, 1905, this legendary
Californian strode into the San-
ta Fe’s offices at Los Angeles and
said he wanted to make a trip
to Chicago faster than any hu-
man had ever made the trip be-
fore. Without batting an eye the
passenger agent said it could be
done, but that the 2,265-mile
trip would be a bit expensive.
“How much?” snapped Scotty.
“Five thousand, five hundred
dollars,” he was told.
Good enough, said Scotty, and
at 1 p.m. the next day—it was
Sunday—his “Coyote Special”
rolled out of Santa Fe’s Los An-
geles station, onto the main line,
and the history-making run was
underway. Just 44 hours and 54
minutes later the special steamed
into Chicago’s Dearborn station,
having crossed mountain, desert
and plain to set a record. It took
real railroading to push the “Coy-
ote Special” that distance in that
time back in 1905, and real team-
work to do it without a hitch.
James Marshall, in his book,
“Santa Fe, The Railroad that
Built an Empire,” notes that
(pick up number of engine
changes, passengers aboard be-
sides Scotty, number of cars, etc.)
Scotty’s run may well have
demonstrated that regular pas-
sented by Hildegarde. For the
sports fans, championship wres-
tling matches are staged every
Friday, and Texas league baseball
is played at Buff stadium. For the
sightseer, Houston offers many at-
tractions, including scenic drives
through beautiful residential sec-
tions, trips to 'San Jacinto Battle-
.ground, visits to Museum of Fine
Arts and other civic buildings.
For the children, the big Her-
mann park zoo and Houston’s
many amusement parks are cen-
ters, of attraction. For the ladies,
Houston’s air - conditioned stores
are always inviting ,and the gour-
met may relax in cool comfort
while enjoying tasty meals in
glamorous restaurants.
“These are only a few of the
many pleasures to be found in
the air-conditioned city,” Mr.
Mickelson said, “and whatever
the budget, the week-end visitor
will find plenty of diversion in
Houston.”

In Texas, as in every other
state, cancer’s death toll is
mounting, while that of most ot-
her diseases is falling off, J. Lou-
is Neff, Executive Director, said
today.
“Last year 6,913 Texans died
of cancer,” Mr. Neff said. “This
was 413 more than in 1947. --------
“Several reasons have been
given for this rise. Statisticians
point out that, with improved
health conditions generally, more
people are living longer. They
are living to the peripd in life
when cancer takes its heaviest
toll.
“However, it may be that this
increase reflects simply the in-
crease in the number of cases
discovered and reported on death
certificates.
“Whatever the new statistics
imply, they do clearly joint out
that the educational, service, and
research work of the American

This summer Houston is at-
tracting the largest tourist trade
in its history. People who have
read about “fabulous Houston” in
the big national magazines are
flocking to the city by the hun-
dreds. On the other hand, peo-
ple who live near Houston have
been under the impression that
hotel rooms would be hard to
find in an over-crowded city.
“The exact opposite, however, is
the case, as there are plenty of
hotel rooms available in Houston
every Friday, Saturday and Sun-
day"Mr.Mickelson“id.

Houston Is Air
Conditioned City
In his day, Mark Twain may
have been right when he said,
“Everybody talks about the
weather, but nobody does any-
thing about it.” But the old adage
doesn’t hold true today, for the
Houston Hotel Men’s association
is really doing something about
the weather.
J. S. Mickelson, president of
the association, has announced
that his group will spearhead a
campaign to advertise Houston as
“the air-conditioned city,” back-
ing up his statement with statis-
tics which prove that Houston has
more air-conditioning than any
city in the entire world.
“In Houston, Mickelson said,
“we are doing something about
the weather, and we want folks
throughout the Gulf coast area to
share it with us.” He pointed out
that Houston has 3275 air-condi-
tioned hotel rooms. “And for
those who shy away from manu-
factured cool air,” the hotel man
said, “we have plenty of "other ac-
commodations cooled by nature’s
own cooling system—fresh breezes
from the Gulf.”
