Have you ever noticed how
just about everybody seems to
be of the opinion that laws are
made for someone else—not for
themselves?
Bad as we hate to admit it,
most of us feel that way. We ov-
erstay our nickle’s worth on a
meter and get a ticket and right
away we scream to high heaven,
blaming the police department.
We, most of us anyway, take
advantage of every opportunity
to cheat the law by speeding,
slipping past stop signs, creep-
ing up on changing traffic sig-
nals or charging into an intersec-
tion while the caution light is
still showing and, if we happen
to get caught, it’s everybody’s
fault but our own. Have you
ever stationed your young son
or daughter in the back seat of
the car while driving on the
highway with instructions to be
on the lookout for the cops? If
your face is red as you read this,
you can be assured that ours is
too.

We do all these things, yet We
wonder sometimes why our
children never seem to' realize
that traffic laws are meant for
them—the same as for grown
ups. And that’s the point we’re
trying to make.
Have you noticed how few
boys and girls on bicycles or
motor scooters pay any attention
whatsoever to stop signs? Ac-
tually, it’s a miracle that more
aren't seriously hurt or killed

A 1963 cotton crop averaging
better than one half bale per acre
is in prospect for Collin County
provided present estimates of
total ginnings prove accurate, ac-
cording to C. D. Green of the
McKinney office of the Texas
Employment Commission.
Mr. Green said Wednesday
that the current crop, which is
more than 82 per cent gathered,
is expected to total 46,000 bales.
80,970 acres of cotton will be
harvested in the county this year,
he added, giving Collin farmers
an average production of more
than half a bale per acre.
Total ginnings, through last
Saturday, were reported at 38,-
055 bales
With only 80,970 acres of a to-
tal allotment of 90,286 acres
planted to cotton this year, the
county is losing cotton acreage
history and next year’s allot-
ment will likely be reduced be-
cause of the nearly 10,000 acres
allotted but not planted, Green
said.

day with totals for Celina, Jose-

Miss Mary Jo Gilbert, 16-year-
old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joe
W. Gilbert of Melissa, who died
in a one-car traffic accident in
Just recently we saw a small boy
ride his bicycle out of a side
street and across the express-
way in the south part of town
and never once look one way or
the other for oncoming cars or
trucks. One afternoon this week
a boy of perhaps 10 or 11 rode
his bike through a stop sign in
the west part of town and would
have crashed head-on into our
car if we hadn’t seen him in time
to dodge out of the way—and
you should have seen the look he
gave us as he whizzed past. It
was one of those “why don’t you
look where you’re going”? looks.
Again, we had to drive all the
way over on the left side of a
street the other afternoon to
avoid being hit by two boys on
bikes who insisted on taking up
practically all of the side of the
street they were on—and it was
the wrong side, too, by the way.
Stop signs and other traffic
laws are for boys and girls on
bicycles as well as for grown-
ups in automobiles and the soon-
er they are made to realize it the
better off they will be. And one
of the best ways in which we
grown-ups can bring this fact to
the attention of our youngsters
is to begin by setting the right
example. It is just barely pos-
sible that one of the reasons our
boys and girls aren’t too particu-
lar about stop signs and such is
that they’ve grown up believing
that things like that, aren’t im-

L I MAN D. KUBINSON
Lyman D. Robinson has tend-
ered his resignation as a mem-
ber of the McKinney City Coun-
cil. The resignation was effec-
tive on October 1.
A member of the council since
the establishment of the council-
manager type of city government
in 1960 following adoption of the
new city charter in December,
1959, Robinson has served as
mayor pro-tem during all this
time.
Mr. Robinson, who is now Di-
rector of Curriculum in the Mc-
Kinney Public Schools, stated
that his request that his resigna-
tion be accepted by the council
was on account of his feeling that
he should devote full time and
interest to his present assign-
ment.
“This request is made with
considerable reluctance but I
feel that the nature of my pres-
ent work, Director of Curricu-
lum of the McKinney Public
Schools, will require my full
time and my full interest,” Rob-
inson said in his letter of resig-
nation to Mayor Louis C. Miller.
“I feel that it is appropriate for
me to tell you that I hold each
of you in high esteem and I feel
that I have had a high privilege
in working with you and know-
ing you better”, he continued.

We’ve had a rash of rummage

all serve a good purpose. Sales
give the wives a wonderful op-

of course the husbands fuss, fuss,
fuss when even one tie is re-
Ammoved ... it is amazing how
GMne item can be missed by said

an opportunity to buy at a bar-
gain some good clothing which
one family has outgrown and an-
other family has grown into.
