Statewide Traffic Team
Goes Into Action On 4th
The same Statewide traffic
safety team that' brought the Tex-
as traffic mileage death rate to
its lowest level in history during
1961 will be back in action for the
Fourth oS^July one-day holiday in
an effort to hold the toll below
the eight deaths predicted.
Governor Price Daniel said
Monday that the estimate of eight
traffic deaths for the Fourth, is-
sued Sunday by the Texas Depart-
ment of Public Safety, was the
lowest on record. "I hope every-
body in Texas will do his best to
see that the Fourth of July toll
is also the lowest on record," the
Governor said, "and I believe this
can be done if as many Texans
give as much attention to safe,
sober and legal driving as they
did last year."
The 1960 one-day Fourth of July
toll of six lives lost represented a
reduction of nearly 50 percent
over the estimate that 11 lives
would be lost.
The Governor added: "The fact
that estimates of traffic deaths for
the one-day Fourth of July holi-
days have been coming down in
recent years is an indication of
the cooperation and understand-
ing given the safety program by a
great majority of Texas motorists.
I have, therefore, asked the De-
partment of, Public Safety and all
of the sheriffs, chiefs of police
and other law enforcement of-
ficers to keep a close check on
those comparative few who will
not obey the law. I have urged
the officers to maintain steady
pressure on the two violations
which contribute most to Texas
fatalities—speeding and driving
while drinking."
Both the Fourth of July and La-
bor Day Traffic Safety campaigns
will tie in closely with the na-
tion-wide "Slow Down and Live!"
campaign, which opened Memorial
Day and closes Labor Day. This
special summer-time traffic safety
project is coordinated in Texas by
J. O. Musick, general manager of
Texas Safety Association.
On the Fourth and over Labor
Day, Texas Association of Broad
casters will again promote its
"Drive Lighted and Live!" cam-
paign, in which motorists will be
asked to burn their headlights
during daylight hours as a sig-
nal that they are driving safely
and legally.
Texas Council of Safety Super-
visors and the Texas trucking inn-
dustry announced that some 750,-
000 trucks will join in this phase
| of the holiday observance. Gover-
| nor Daniel said the "Drive Light-
! edr and Live!" idea, originated by
Victoria Businessman R, B, Roos
in 1959, had attracted such wide
attention thai he was glad it was
being continued.
The'Governor's Office has mail-
I ed many thousands of pieces of
traffic safety material to several
chousand Texas • raffic safety sup-
porters, newspapers, radio and TV
stations in preparation for. the
holiday campaign Texas radio sta-
tions will broadcast special Fourth
| cf July messages from the Gover-
nor.
One-day Fourth of July death
' tolls since 1946 include seven in
1946, seven in 1950, eight in 1951,
12 in 1956, 15 in 1957 and six in
1951.
"I'm anxious that every Texas
motorist will drive in such a way
that the 1962 Fourth of July will
be the safest and happiest in
Texas history," the Governor con-
cluded.
DON'T PANIC—If you think
that those winged pests flying
around your head are ter-
mites trying to demolish your
home, take a closer look; they
may be only ants According
yermiic to the Department of Agri-
culture, there are two ways
to tell them apart. First, ants
are pinched in" at the waist,
while termites have thick
waistlines. Second, an ant's
rear pair of wings are con-
siderably smaller than its
front pair; a termite has lit-
*NI tie difference in wing size.

THE NATIONAL D' BT AND
THE FARM BILL
From childhood all ol us have
j been taught that we have to pay
our jusc debts. Recently I voted
tor a temporary extension of the
j national debt ceiling so that the
government could pay its debts
acquired long before I became a
Member of Congress. The moiuy
i ha\ already been spent — the debts
! arc there, and the bills must be
paid Without this authorization.
| the Treasury Department would
! have to use "back-door'" and more
! expensive ways to pay bills Low-
ering she national debt limit is
no way to cut spending Suppose
: your wife goes shopping and
writes a basketful of checks. Are
you going to refuse payment? Tile
1 way to limit your debts is to con-
j vince your wife to take it easy
i on spending As your Congress-
man. I feel it is nn duty to se •
that we pay our honest debts and
at the same time do what I can
tc rut wasteful spending — This
is the wav to lower the national
debt
j ECONOMY IN THE
FARM PROGRAM
A new Farm Bill is badly need-
ed lo cut the wasteful spending
| and surplus practices of the old
I Benson Farm Bill, hut the Find
| and Agriculture Act of 1962 has
been killed by a vote of 215 - 205.
j This bill was an excellent exam-
ple of a bill that undergoes a com-
plete fae-clifting in th ? amendment
process In the original form —
the form you read about in the
papers and magazines — the Bill
attempted <o reduce spending, but
it simply did not takt care >1 our
farmers' In the new, or amended,
lorm the Bill was quite accept-
able, Most of my objections had
been eliminated, and I voted
against returning the Bill to the
ccmmittec The concerned peopl.'
who write to me urging me io
vole for or against a given meas-
ure can see that it is absolutely
impossible to say whether a Bill
will be acceptable until the last
amendment has been added.
Now that the bili^ has failed, wc
are in the same situation as be-
orc. Unless a new Farm Bill can
be passed, the old Benson Farm
Bill will be the law of the land
and surpluses and the cost of stor-
ing them will continue to mount.
It is interesting to note that the
Republicans, who piously voter* to
limit our debt-paying ability, won
the battle to pour still more mon-
ey down the maw of unproductive
buying and spending They called
for economy vet voted a blank
check — not for our farmers but
for the mid west grain producers
and grain storage concerns.
I sincerely hope for a new farm
bill which will have a minimum
of Federal interference and rea-
sonable supports Such a bill would
benefit farmers and cattlemen and
still reduce the wasteful surplus
grain storage program
