JUDGE TIREY
(Continued from page 1)
in law at the University of Texas,
and entered the practice in 1914
at Waco, where I continued until
appointed to my present position
in 1939. I have maintained inter-
est in civic affairs as a member
of the Chamber of Commerce and
the Lions Club and am an active
member of the Baptist Church.
I married Elizabeth Culver, a
daughter of the Methodist min-
ister, and we have two children,
Elizabeth, whose husband lost his
life in the late war, and she and
her baby make their home with us;
and Nancy, whose husband was
shot down in an air raid over
Vienna and made a German pris-
oner, and who is now a physician
serving his internship in the
United States Naval Hospital at
Bromerton, Washington.
In World War 1, I volunteered
for the Infantry was transferred
to the Field Artillery and was dis-
charged at Camp Taylor, Kentu-
cky. I did not have combat ex-
perience.
I was appointed to the Tenth
Court of Civil Appeals in 1939,
succeeding the lamented Ballard
W. George, and returned, with-
out opposition, at the 1944 elec-
tion. It has been my privilege and
pleasure to serve with some of
the distinguished lawyers of this i
court, such as J. N. Gallagher,
Chief Justice; James P. Alexan-
der of the Supreme Court; Ben
H. Rice, Jr., who is now serving
as United States District Judge;
and my present associates on the
Court, Chief Justice Lester and
Associate Justice Hale. The labor
of these and others that might
be mentioned, have raised the
standard of the Tenth Court on
a level with that of any appel-
late court of the State. And in
a spirit of humility, I believe I
have done my part, and if re-
turned, it will be my purpose to
maintain that standing. When I
came to the court it was two
years behind with its docket. It

C. B. COPELAND BACK
FROM FAR EAST TOUR
After an eight-month tour of
duty in the Far East during which
time he traveled 26,000 miles and
visited 13 foreign ports, G. B.
Copeland, seaman apprentice, US-
N, son of Mr. and Mrs. G. B.
Copeland of Route 3, Meridian,
Texas, recently returned to the
United States aboard the heavy
cruiser USS Toledo, which will
operate in Southern California
water this summer.
During the first part of the ex-
tended Pacific cruise, the Toledo
visited Japan, with scheduled stops
at Yokosuka, Hiroshima, Nagasa-
ki, Tokyo, Kamakura, Kyoto and
Nagoya. At these Nipponese ports,
the crew of the warship was
granted liberty and viewed the
numerous sights on scheduled
tour and personal excursions.
The second phase of the trip
took the Toledo to the Phillip-
pine Islands where the ship was
employed as flagship for the
commander of the Seventh Fleet.
Also visited on the cruise were
Hong Kong, and the battle-famous
island of Corregidor.
Good luck was experienced by
three out-of-town fisherman at
Meridian Lake last week. Mr. Har-
vey, of the Sun Oil Company,
Dallas, snagged 27 bream one
day. Messers Rogers and Bailey,
of Dallas, caught 41 bream. Shep
Cannon, of Waco, caught 19
bream the same day.

is now current and has been for
three years, notwithstanding trans-
fer of cases from other courts.
I love the work of the court.
In performing my duties as a
judge I have always strived to
cultivate the judical temperament
and further qualify myself as an
upright and just judge. Futher-
more, have always tried to treat
the attorneys in attendance on the
court with respect and fairness.
I would like to continue my serv-
ice and, if you see fit to help
me, it will be greatly appreciated
by me and mine.

dikes it easy all the time!
Prestomatic Fluid Drive Transmission consists of three
compact units . . . gyrol Fluid Drive, the Safety Clutch and
Prestomatic Transmission. Each unit is designed with a minimum
of moving parts, and each unit is ruggedly built to give
trouble-free service for the lifetime of the car.
Make no mistake! Although most cars use the Fluid Drive principle that
Chrysler first introduced 12 years ago—there’s an all-important
difference in automatic gear shifting today! Chrysler and only Chrysler
gives you full control of your car. While others shift you up and
down—even when you don’t want to shift—Chrysler’s simple, cool-
running transmission takes its orders from you. Even at 12
miles an hour, in slow moving traffic, you’re in high while others shift down to
lower gears. How much quieter your engine runs! How much more smoothly! What a
difference in high-gear economy! Come see what Fluid Drive does for
you! Examine Chrysler workmanship . . . compare the quality of materials ...
discover the benefits of Chrysler engineering! You’ll find built-in value all the way through
that has no equal! Extra money’s worth, we’re sure, that will make
_ you a Chrysler buyer for life!
