Why?
How would you like to hold a job where
almost every customer you had was dissatis-
fied?
Would you like it any better if the job re-
quired your attention on occasion 24 hours a
day and oftimes seven days a week?
It doesn't sound like a very attractive em-
ployment opportunity, does it?
There is such a job filled by highly cap-
able young men at pay scales not too much
better than those of a 40-hour a week clerk or
a common laborer.
The job we refer to requires that those
who hold it give up their Christmas, New
Years, Easter, Fourth of July. Labor Day and
Thanksgiving holidays. That's their busiest
time.
They are highway patrolmen.
It isn't often that they can take the time
to see a football or baseball game, or any other
big event because their jobs require their at-
tention.
These people have to drive faster than
they would like to, and sometimes have a brush
with a drunk, a burglar, or a robber. Theirs is
often a hazardous occupation.
While most folks sleep, these employees
are called from bed at all hours of the night
to race to the scene of a wreck, check the gory
details of it, and fix the blame.
They file reports by the dozens and show
up in courts where their work is questioned
severely by lawyers.
Why does a man become a Texas Highway
Patrolman?
Surely not for the money in it.
Duty? Probably.
There were 3,006 persons killed in motor
vehicle traffic accidents in Texas last year.
There wasn't a single deathless day in Texas
during 1964.
On the average, one person was killed
every 2 hours and 55 minutes. A person was
injured every 2 minutes and 54 seconds, and
there was an accident every 69 seconds.
Isn't it a good thing that we have some
young men who are willing to work long and
hard hours in a thankless job trying to keep
accident statistics from being even worse.

SAGE OF SULPHUR BOTTOM
Doubts radio broadcasts
from higher civilization
(Editor's note: The Sage of
Sulphur Bottom on his John-
son grass farm reacts to the
latest claim out of Russia in
his letter this week.)
Dear editar:
You never can tell about
something that comes out of
Russia, they have their own
brands of truth over there and
they switch brands twice a
week, but a< cording to an ar-
ticle I read in a newspaper
day before esterday, a couple
of Russian scientists believe
that they have heard radio
signals from a planet millions
of miles away indicating there
is a form of "higher civiliza-
tion" out there, and while the
scientists later said it was too
early to be sure about these
signals, still they're picking up
something.
I don't know whether there's
a higher form of civilized life
somewhere out in space or not
and if it's left up to me to go
see, man will never find out,
but what interests me is the
Russians guess that the radio
signals indicated a higher form
of civilization.
What I mean is, turn it
around. If there are people
out in space and they are pick-
ing up radio broadcasts from
our planets, you reckon they'd

interpret what they hear as a
higher form of civilization?
You really think such peo-
ple out there would spend bil-
lions of dollars building rocket
ships to come down here to
earth to find out what's mak-
ing all that noise on radio?
It's my theory that there are
intelligent people millions of
miles out in space, that they
have heard our radio broad-
casts, and they're exploring
space in the opposite direc-
tion. What is there about elec-
tric guitar music every fifteen
minutes and world wars every
fifteen years that'd make a
higher form of civilized life
want to come down here and
get acquainted?
Or, what is there about this
Johnson grass farm that'd at-
tract a man who had to travel
a billion miles to see it? I
know lots of people who
wouldn't travel 10 miles to see
it.
My general theory about
space is that if there aren't
any intelligent creatures out
there, we may reach the point
where there's no sense in ex-
ploring one barren planet aft-
er another, and if there are
intelligent creatures out there,
let them look me up, provided
we haven't ruined the chance
by broadcasting to the uni-
verse what we're up to down
here.
Yours faithfully,
J. A.

Chevrolet Impala Super Sport Coupe—one of two buckct-scated beauties for '65. sr-fy \A • \
People who buy other big expensive-looking cars
get one thing you won't (big expensive-looking payments)
It looks like a big car. And is—by almost any
standard you want to apply.
Width? Nobody builds a car as much as one
inch wider. Length? It grew three inches this
year. Roominess? Every closed model's got
three inches more shoulder room, front and
rear, and more leg and foot room up front too.
Luxury? Nice little touches like the look of
mellow walnut across the Impala's instru-
ment panel. And big touches. Like the fine-
ness of the same Body by Fisher workman-
ship that makes some of America's most
expensive cars look so expensive. How about
the ride? Chevrolet engineers took the Jet-
smooth one and smoothed it out even more
this year. Also made it more stable by widen-
ing the wheel stance. Price? That's where
Chevrolets fall way short of the other big
expensive-looking cars. But we wouldn't have
it any other way. Would you?
One last question: How soon can you make
a good spring buy on a Chevrolet? One last
answer: Just as soon as you can get down to
your Chevrolet dealer's.
