J. G'. WALKER, Clerk
Court Matagorda County, Texas.
By LORAINE THOMPSON,
Deputy. 50-4t
and Management Consultant of
the LCRA.
After over 17 years of service
as operating and general manager
of the LCRA, Starcke will assume
his new position on January 1.
The new general manager of the
LCRA will be announced follow-
ing a meeting of the board of di-
rectors on December 16, Seymour
said.
"We are happy that Starcke
will be our director and manage-
ment consultant," Seymour said.
"Under his direction as its general
manager, the Authority has grown
from a small, struggling organi-
zation into one of the outstanding
river developments both of Texas
and of the nation.
"He has not only given to the
LCRA, but also to Texas, out-
standing service in the field of
water conservation," Seymour
stated.
Since its creation, the LCRA has
brought about the construction of
six major dams on the Colorado
River which are capable of im-
pounding sufficient water to take
care of a city of a million people
for more than 29 years.
These dams are capable also of
controlling floods equal to the
greatest on r e c io r d originating
above Austin, floods of the type
which caused many tens of mil-
lions of dollars of damage during
the years prior to their construc-
tion.
As an electric utility, the LCRA
has grown fi-om an organization
without any customei-s in 1938 in-
to one which today has more than
one and a half million people de-
pending on it for electricity. All,
or parts, of 41 Central Texas
counties are in its electric service
area, and electricity also is sent
into adjoining areas.
More than 120,000 acres of land
are irrigated each year with the
impounded flood waters captured
behind the six dams and stored by
LCRA for future use.
Starcke came to LCRA as oper-
ating manager in 1938, and two
years later was promoted to gen-
eral manager. Previously, in ad-
dition to extensive business in-
terests, he had been mayor of
Seguin for many years. As may-
or, he built modern water sewer-
age plants, a modern hydro-elec-
tric plant and provided parks,
playgrounds and paved streets for
his fellow citizens.

Two things that make for SAFER driving ]
f
The first and most important thing
is you — the' driver. The courtesy,
care, and common sense you show
count more than anything else.
The second thing is the car itself.
All cars are safer today. That's
shown by the number of accidents
in relation to the number of miles
passenger cars are driven. The fig-
ure's down sharply.
Chevrolet has always made safety
a major consideration, introducing
many such features as the all-steel
top. into its field. And this '56 Chev-
rolet is the safest one ever built.
Its lively new power means safer
passing. Its special Ball-Race steer-
ing—oversize brakes with Anti-Dive
control—bring easier, surer driving.
The Unisteel construction and safety
door latches of its Fisher Body-
the nailed-to-the-road stability that
comes from advanced suspension
and better balance — the sweeping
panoramic windshield — all these
things add to your safety.
Seat belts with or without shoul-
der harness? Instrument panel pad-
ding? Of course, they're available
at extra cost. As your Chevrolet
dealer, we'll be glad to show you the
many safety features of the '56
Chevrolet.
