Shade Screens Built
To Protect Motorists
Kaiser aluminum shade screens
^for cars, designed to protect mo-
torists from the hot rays of West
Texas sun, are being built by Airo-
lite Venetian Blind Company of
Sweetwater, according to Amon
Watson, owner.
The shade screens are being
made in two standard sizes for 2-
door and 4-door curs and other
sizes may be custom built to lit
the car, according to Watson. The
shades are now on sale at ga-
rages, services stations and other
^retail stores.

zontal louvers tilted at a slight
downward angle the shade screen
blocks out the strongest, hottest
rays of sun. By stopping the heat
rays outside the car, motorists are
much more comfortable and inside
of the car is even cooler.
The tiny louvers of the shade
screen permits excellent vision al-
though it cuts down the view from
outside the car. The driver has a
clear view of his entire surround-
ings and at the same time is com-
fortably protected from the blister-
ing sun rays.
The shade screens are designed
to fit on the car door by two small
hooks at the top and may be
stretched tight by an elastic tape
that is clipped beneath the lower
window rail. It can be easily in-
stalled or removed in a matter of
seconds.
Watson is now designing a shade
screen for installation on the back
car window to protect motorists
when driving away from the sun.
When the sun is well up into the
sky from 92 percent to 100 percent
of the sun rays are deflected. In
early morning or late evening when
the sun is low on the horizon from
45 to 86 percent of the rays are
deflected.
Watson used the Kaiser sunshade
material for deflecting sun rays on
his own car some three years
ago. He only recently became in-
terested in building the units for
commercial sale after friends be-
gan asking him to build the units
for their cars. Another builder of
the shades has also had a few
on the market in recent months.
The Airolite Venetian Blind plant
is handling the construction work
and sales are being handled
through garages, servcie station
and other retail outlets. Demand
for the shades is increasing contin-
uously and Watson plans to ex-
pand operations on production as
the need develops.
The car shade screens are light
in weight and are made available
to the customer at a very nominal
cost.

BACK ON THE JOB—Open again for business after being closed down for a week in order to give
employees a vacation, Globe Cleaners, 304 East Th ird street, is back in full swing today serving
customers. The plant was closed for a week in order to give all workers a vacation at the same time.
Globe Cleaners Open After
Week Vacation Close-Down
Globe Cleaners, 304 East Third
Street, is open again for business
after having been closed down for
a full week in order to give em-
ployees a vacation.
As the plant doors opened for bus-
iness customers began bringing in
clothes bundles to be cleaned and
the wheels oi the big efficient plant
began to hum as usual.
Moye Smith and Mrs. Jewel Wat-
son, owners, decided to close the
plant down for the week in order
to give their employees a vacation
period. Due to the highly skilled
workmen in many of the important
positions in the plant, it is virtually
impossible to have one or two men
out at a time over a long snap dur-
ing the summer months. It was de-
cided to close the whole plant
down and permit all employees to
Oilseed Short Course
Held At Texas A&M
COLLEGE STATION — Approxi-
| mately 100 cottonseed oil mill oper-
j ators from Texas and a dozen other
southern states attended the 282nd
annual short course this week con-
ducted by the Institute of Oilseed
Technology at Texas A&M College.
They heard reports on the latest
| developments in the technique of
j seed and lint cleaning, expeller
j and screw press operations, plant
j safety and foreman training. Dr.
• J. D. Lindsay, head of the Chemi-
cal Engineering department of the
} college, presided as chairman.
The oil millers also heard Dr.
j David II. Morgan, president of the
| college, outline in his welcome ad-
dress the role A&M plays in the
fields of education, research and
j military training. He said the
school is proud to play host to many
such meetings each year, which
altogether attract about 6,000 visi-
i tors to the campus.
Some of the operators, it was
| revealed, have attended the short
I course year after year. One of
! Ihem, Charles W. Rankin of Bren-
ham, has missed only one of the
annual meetings . . . last year
when he was in a hospital.

have their vacations at the same
time. "This does not impair qual-
ity of work that is turned out and
customers are served better in the
long run," they state.
The plant was closed down on
Saturday night, July 10 and re-
mained closed until Monday morn-
ing of this week. This gave the
employees two weekends and a
whole week in which to rest or
spend as they desired. Various
members of the organization spend
the vacation in a number of dif-
ferent ways. Some spent the time
with family and friends in distant
points, while others traveled to the
mountains or sea shore for rests
and still others just plain stayed at
home.
US Will Pledge
To Observe Truce
In Indo-China War
WASHINGTON, July 17 —UP—
—The United States is prepared to
pledge formally not to use force
or threats which would upset any
truce reached in the lndo - China
war, administration officials said
Saturday.
However, the United States will
not sign the main political docu-
ments of the Geneva conference
which would partition Viet Nam if
a cease-fire agreement is reached.
These two points constitute fun-
damental American policy at this
stage of the showdown talks on
lndo - China at Geneva, informants
said.
Officials said the formula-
respecting but not underwriting an
lndo - China settlement — would
permit the United States to main-
tain its policy of refusing to ap-
prove Communist domination of
free or captive peoples.
If a cease-fire is arranged, the
United States plans to issue a uni-
lateral declaration that would take
"note" of the truce and pledge not
to upset it by force or threat of
i force.
If the Geneva talks fail, the Unit-
! ed States wants immediate action
! in linking non-Communist powers
j to defend southeast Asia against
! further Communist aggression.
Action on a Southeast Asian
j Treaty Organization, (SEATO) be-
ing pushed by Secretary of State
John Foster Dulles, has been slow-
ed by the Geneva talks.
Officials said much valuable time
had been consumed by planners in
figuring out war-peace alternatives
while awaiting the outcome at Ge-
neva.
Nevertheless diplomats reported
the United States and Britain are
holding "draft talks" on the long-
range treaty for southeast Asia. A
group of British experts on the Far
East were at the State Department
early Saturday conferring with
their American counterparts. The
party also has worked on the forth-
coming American declaration.
Consultations also are underway
with France, Thailand, the Philip-
pines, Australia, New Zealand, and
other nations which might be in-
terested in joining a coilectve de-
fense system.
