Warns Of Holiday
Traffic Hazards
Thanksgiving week end is a
good time for motorists to remem-
ber that driving is a privilege, not
a right, declares J. O. Musick, Gen-
eral Manager of the Texas Safety
Association.
"If we are really thankful for
this privilege, we will demon-
strate our atttiude behind the
wheel," he said.
"In holiday driving, let's show
fellow motorists that we care
about them as well as ourselves.
"Let's drive in a manner that
will make it pleasant for our pas-
to contribute to it as heavily as sengers to enjoy their trip," Mu-

! jor violations in these death-deal-
ing mishaps were: driving too fast
for conditions, d r iv i n g while
drinking, disregard for warning or
stop signs and driving on the
wrong side of the road.
"When these and other viola-
tions are committed in bad weath-
er and on slippery roads, danger
is increased for oneself and other
highway users," Musick claimed.
"When roads are rain-slickened,
or covered by snow and ice, ve-
hicle speed must be greatly re-
duced," he emphasized. "These

Deerhides Again
Being Used By
Hospital Patients
Deerhides to be tanned into
buckskin for state hospital pa-
tients' use began piling up at the
Austin Taxidermist Studio in the
first week of the hunting season.
Cooperation of locker plant oper-
ators is credited with the acceler-
ated collection.
Sponsored by the Volunteer Ser-
vices Council for Texas State Hos-
pitals and Special Schools, the an-
nual collection provides soft lea-
ther from which patients fashion
such items as purses, gloves, moc-
casins and billfolds. Previously
designated for tuberculosis pa-
tients, a sufficient supply is being
sought this year for all the hos-
pitals and special schools, accord-
ing to Mrs. Malcolm Gregory of
Austin, Volunteer Council Chair-
man.
"We're optimistic, too, that it
can be done," Mrs. Gregory said,
"because this year the Texas In-

surfaces also call for enlarging
the margin between moving cars,
because the distance required for
stopping is 3 to 12 times greater
than that needed on dry pave-
ment."
For North Texans, the safety ex-
pert recommended use of rein-
forced tire chains for severe snow
and ice conditions. He said mod-
ern snow tires are better than
regular treads and give their best
performance in soft snow when
it's not too deep, but chains have
been proved the best self-help for
getting started, keeping going, and
climbing grades when roads are
slick with ice, hard packed snow
or deep snow.
"Motorists who plan a long mo-
tor trip this holiday week end or
later this winter will do well to
have their cars thoroughly check-
ed and properly equipped to meet
any unusual changes in road and
weather conditions," Musick de-
clared.
"Even with the most modern
cars on the most modern roads,
we can't afford to dispense with
old-fashioned commonsense, which
dictates that we must be ready for
winter's worst, take care of o u r
vehicles properly and drive them
safely," he concluded.

THIS IS THE OHE FOR WAGONS! 1959 CHEVY
Chevrolet's five stunning new
station wagons for 959 are
shaped to the new American
taste with fresh, fine Slimline
design. And they're beautifully
practical — with roomier,
quieter Bodies by Fisher, an
even smoother ride, new ease
of handling!
Wagons were never more beautiful or duti-
ful. From low-set headlights to wing-shaped
tailgate, these '59 Chevrolets are as sweet
looking as anything on wheels. They're just
about the handiest things on wheels, too—
from their overhead-curving windshield to
their longer, wider load platform. Besides
additional cargo space (a full 10-foot span
with the tailgate down), you also get added
seating room (4 inches more in front, over
3 inches in back). And you'll find such other
practical advantages as new easy-ratio steer-
ing, Safety Plate Glass all around, tougher
Tyrex cord tires, bigger, safer brakes,
smoother-than-ever Full Coil suspension and
a roll-down rear window (electrically oper-
ated as standard equipment on the 9-passen-
ger Kingswood). Your dealer's waiting now
with all the details on why this year—more
than ever—Chevy's the one for wagons.
what America wants, America gets in a Chevy I
now—see the wider selection of models at your local authorized Chevrolet dealer's!
