Personal identification, through numbers is becom-
ing a way of life. But that doesn't mean you should
be treated like one.
That’s the nice thing about doing business with a
bank that is owned and operated by people who
live in the community. As a friend and neighbor
you are regarded as a very real person, not just an
account number. You have a name and we'll use it.
You may be certain that your interests and those of
the community come first . . . always.

"It’s not the Birch people that

• Constitutional Revision
Recommendations . . .
While Texas Democrats are tak-
part of the recommendations to
the voters—or reject them entirely.
Aside from its recommendations
of minor controversial nature,

effort to tighten and streamline the
constitution and chop out long-
recognized dead wood.

Governor Connally reappointed

Lou Hassell of Houston, Leonel

Then the Governor named Dan

Lt. Gov. Preston Smith’s an-
nouncement that he would not go
to the National Democratic Con-
vention in Chicago because he
would rather use that time to get
better acquainted with delegates to

to be held in Austin, Sept. 17, came
as something of a surprise.
. But it’s not the first time Smith
instinctively has steered clear of
battles within the party — as the
Chicago scene was sure to be. He
has gained some widespread and
rather unexpected support, from
liberal Texas Democrats because
he refused to go with Gov. John
Connally, then Atty. Gen. Waggon-
er and Speaker Ben Barnes to
head off a migrant workers’ march
to Austin two years ago.
Smith, however, says he is ser-
ious about wanting to meet and
talk to state convention delegates
because he wants to command the
