JOHN LEE SMITH of Lubbock,
was in Shamrock Tuesday in be-
lt Uf of his candidacy for election
to the office of Lt. Governor of
Texas. Air. Smith was born in Wise ,
County and moved with his family
to Throckmorton County in 1’’00.
He taught school for ^veral rears
atnl served in France as a private j
Greer **ur'nK World War I. In 1940, he
was elected to the State Senate, !
and was permanent chairman of
the Democratic State Convention
that year. In 1942, he was elected
Lt. Governor and was re-elected
in 1944. Air. S.n1?h has been a
practicing attorney in Lubbock,
since 1947.
We're speaking of the heat,
of course, and if you're weary
over fighting the thermometer,
fry this BETTER wall: Jump
into your car tonight and
every night .....- for a wonder-
ful cooling off.
No outlay comparably small
as tlie price of a fill of our
good gasoline, will deliver as
much pure pleasure and cool
comfort. And if you fill up the
car with family and friends,
the per person cost will be al-
most nil.
If you want to learn to live
jgnsibly with the temperature,
drive dowiOto the Tower and
tell th« willing attendant:
“Fill ’er up!”
