Praises Chevrolet 6
After 2200-mile Trip
/
<\
Brooklyn, N. Y., May 24, 1932
Bay Chevrolet Co.,
Palaeios, Texas.
^Kntlemen:
Just want to write you a line to let
you know how well pleased I am with
the performance of the 1932 Coach I
purchaased from you last March 1st.
The trip covered about 2200 miles
and we used about 140 gallons of gas
and 12 quarts of Gulfpride Oil, averag-
ing around 17 miles per gallon. Not a
bad average for the car was pressed
for time as we left Palaeios Saturday
a. m. and had to make Washington, 1).
C., by Monday noon, arriving in Brook-
lyn Monday night, covering the 2200
miles in 45 driving hours and averag-
ing 48 miles an hour. In order to do
this , driving at 65 and sometimes up
to 75 almost continuously was neces-
sary, consequently I cannot praise the
performance too highly for with noth-
ing to worry about so far as motor,
performance and capacity are con-
cerned, you can tell the world she's
a car.
Hoping to see you soon I am, with
best regards to all.
(Signed) L. S. Appleton.

Staff Sergeant Richard Henry Car-
michael, State Staff corps, Texas Na-
tional Guard, son of Lieutenant Colo-
nel H. H. Carmichael, assistant adju-
tant general, has been signally hon-
to the United States Militai'y academy
at West Point. Young Carmichael
has received official notice that he
passed the recent competitive exami-
nation for admission to the academy,
and has been authorized to report at
West Point, N. Y., on July 1 for ad-
mission as a cadet.
ThiE appointment comes after a se-
ries of competitive examinations, start-
ing last year at the Texas National
Guard summer training camps, in each
of which young Carmichael made high
grade.
Under existing regulations, the gov-
ernor of each state is allowed to nom-
inate two candidates from the na-
tional guard. Conforming to these
regulations, Governor R. S. Sterling
named a board of officers, who con-
ducted an examination at the summer
training camps, to which all members
of the national guard between the
ages of 19 and 22 were eligible. The
12 highest of these competitors were
then sent to the West Point prepara-
tory school at Fort Sam Houston,
where further examinations were
again held in November, The two
making the highest grades there were
then designed as the governor's ap-
pointed candidates, and were Sergeant
Carmichael and Corporal Cecil Combs
of Dallas.
The two fortunate candidates then
entered another competitive examina-
tion in March, in which more than 100
boys were entered from the national
guards of every state in the union, the
highest 20 to be finally chosen for ap-
pointment to West Point. Young Car-
michael and Combs again made high
grades, and in receiving notice of their
appointment, Texas has, for the first
time, the distinction of acquiring two
of the coveted honors at one time.
Sergeant Carmichael was born* at
Ilillsboro, April 11, 1913. He grad-
uated from Main Avenue High school,
San Antonio, in June, 1930, after which
he attended West Point preparatory
school at Fort Sam Houston and the
University of Texas.
Upon receipt of his notice that he
had passed and would be admitted to
the acedemy, Governor R. S. Sterling
communicated his commendation to
Cadet Carmichael by letter. Gover-
nor Sterling said, "I am particularly
proud of the high rating you have
made before the examining board in
Washington, and with your record as
staff sergeant in tha Texas National
Guard as basic training you should
make as equally an enviable record at
the United States Military academy,
where many famous Texas soldiers
have received their schooling."
The subject of this sketch is, in a
way, considered a Palaeios boy. He
was with his father a great deal while
Col. Carmichael was in charge of
Camp Hulen, and has spent most ox
the summers here the past several
years, during which time he has en-
deared himself to all who have come
in contact with him, and his many
friends here join with those through-
out the state in extending him con-
gratulations and best wishes.
