Hardin County Automobile Insurance '
Cost Changes Announced By Board"
The State Board of Insur- percent of the drivers who are
ance recently arihounced some
increases in automobile insur-
ance rates effective Aug. 1,
1901. This is the first increase
in public liability and collision
rates since Aug. 1, 1958. In
1959 the automobile rates were
decreased by an average in ex-
cess of 10 percent according to
the state board.
The rates announced recently
were an overall average in-
crease of about 15 percent of
the present rates. However, in
many instances this did not
raise the cost of insurance as
high as it was in August, 1958.
Generally speaking, using an
all-state overall average, basic
limits liability coverage on pri-
vate passenger automobiles,
combining bodily injury and
property damage, will be about
3.3 percent higher this Aug. 1
than on Aug. 1, 1958, but 75
in Sub-class I will have a to-
tal premium of 7.4 percent less
for this coverage this August
than in the same month in 1958.
On collision coverage on all
types of automobiles and all
deductibles, averaged over the
state, the rate effective Aug. 1,
1981, will be 6.1 percent less
than it was in 1958, and for the
75 percent of the drivers in
Sub-class 0 their premiums
will be 24.8 percent less than
they would have been for this
coverage in 1958.
On medical payments cover-
age, the all-state average will
be 2.7 percent higher rates this
August than in 1958, but again
the Safe driving plan will bring
the Sub-class 0 motorist a re-
duction of 17.8 percent of the
August, 1958 rate. On all types
of cgrs, statewide, comprehen-
sive rates will average this

This is further illustrated in
Hardin County, by the follow-
ing comparisons in reference to
one ol the higher priced models
of the Ford, Chevrolet or Ply-
mouth lines, less than six
months old; using a coverage
of basic limits public liability,
liability, full coverage compre-
hensive, and $50.00 deductible

$132.00.

$118.00.
Percentage of change from

Significantly the average loss
cost (one car insured for one
year) in your county for pri-
vate passenger automobile li-
ability in the 1958 rates was
$17.54, while the average loss
cost in the 1961 rates is $25.69,
an increase of $8.15 per auto-
mobile.
Comparisons of the cost of
the automobile with automobile
insurance rates in Texas over
the past years is particularly
revealing. In Travis County,
which is a representative coun-
ty. on a Chevrolet 4-door sedan
from 1938 to 1961, insurance
coverages for non-business pri-
vate passenger automobiles,
without a male operator under
25 years of age, have increased
a total of 69 percent while the
list price of the automobile has
inceased 179 percent.
Increased costs in the field
of hospitalization, medical ex-
pense, repair costs and other
items for which automobile in-
surance pays have also con-
tributed to increase in cost.

Trail Riders Plan
Rodeo August 25-2G
The Silsbee Trail Riders met
July 14 in the arena with 18
members present, where plans
were discussed for a rodeo to
be sponsored by this group at
the arena on Aug. 25 and 26.
There will be bronc riding,
steer riding, calf roping and
wild cow milking. For the
youngsters participating there
will be calf riding and barrell
racing.
The group will meet Friday
night at 7:30 at the usual meet-
ing place to make plans and
discuss the rodeo.
Increases 100 Times
Largely because logs are
round and lumber squared,
there are always scraps and
bits of wood left by the saws
after lumber manufacture.
Once, these “leftovers” had
no value except for fuel.
Last year, however, they
were converted into 2,877,000
cords of pulp chips by the
Southern Pine lumber industry.
The chips were provided to
paper companies and represen-
ted 15 percent of the raw ma-
terial used by the South in pa-
per manufacture during 1960.
An even better idea of the size
of the contribution is gained
from the fact that Southern
Pine provides more than half
of the nation's total material
lor paper production.
Figures revealed that the
volume of pulp chips turned
out by the Southern Pine lum-
ber mills had increased more
than 100 times in only eight
years.
The activity did not exist
prior to 1952. That year, the
first installation of debarking
and chipping equipment oc-
curred at a lumber company in
the South. This constituted a
major “breakthrough” in the
technology of wood. Previously,
slabs, edgings and other “left-
overs” from the saws were un-
lit for pulpwood because of
the presence of bark. This dif-
ficulty was eliminated by the
advent of the "debarker.”
Beginning in 1953, lumber
mills of the South initiated the
mass installation of mechani
cal and hydraulic debarkers to
render logs barkfree at the
outset of lumber manufacture.
As the saws did their work,
conveyor belts gathered the
flotsam and jetsam of wood
for transfer to chippers at the
end of the line. There, the pulp
chips were made.
In 1953, the lumber industry’s
pulp chip volume was a com-
paratively modest 25,700 cords.
In 1956, the figure was 488,900.
For the first time, in 1957, the
total exceeded one million
cords. In 1958, it was over 1,-
500,000 dords, and in 1959, up
to 2,177,990; culminating in the
record total of 2,877,000 last
year.

Vandalism
Crificized
In Magazine
Fortunately for those of us
who respect clean highways,
attractive parks and recreation
areas, and the rights of others,
the percentage of people who
keep cleanup crews busy is
small. What an ugly appear-
ance our great state would
have il all its citizens were as
thoughtless and irresponsible
as the few who dirty up our
roads and recreation areas.
These are the sentiments of
Howard D. Dodgen, executive
secretary of the Game and Fish
Commission, in his editorial in
the July issue of “Texas Game
and Fish.”
“There are too many imma-
ture, irresponsible people who
wilfully and maliciously set
about to destroy,” wrote Dod-
gen. “Some seem to do- it for
the mere thrill. Others perhaps
think it smart. A few may do
it for personal benefit. What-
ever the motivation, there is no
place for ruthless and need-
less vandalism anywhere.”

Game Violators
Pay High Price
In June Arrests
Fishing without a license
brought 235 arrests in the
month of June, according to
Capt. E. M. Sprott, director of
law enforcement of the Game
and Fish Commission.
In all, there were 331 arrests
during the month, with $6,-
054.18 collected in fines and
court costs. Hunting in a closed
season brought 11 arrests, and
hunting at night the same num-
ber. Another man was arrested
for “telephoning” fish.
It was pointed out that a
1960-61 fishing license still is
required for persons between
the ages of 17 and 65, fishing
with a winding device or fish-
ing outside their home county.
The • 1981->63--lioeiwiMK will be-
come available late in August,
to be effective Sept. 1.
One violation that received
widespread pulicity last month
was the arrest of three men at
Cleveland, who paid a total of
$380 for shooting a 10-pound
fawn with a shotgun.

NOAH SMHTHWIICIK
the "Peaceful” Ranger
"With the courage of his convictions . . ”
In 1827, a peace-loving blacksmith of 19 years drifted into Texas Me soon found any-
thing but peace. As a skilled gunsmith and armorer, Noah was on hand to prepare the
fighting hardware for the Texas revolutionary battle of Concepcion, and to participate
with enthusiasm. Later he was one of the San Jacinto combatants who pursued the
retreating Mexicans far south of the Rio Grande. After that he joined the Texas Rangers
for a very active two years of frontier duty, leaving the service in 1838 when the force
was disbanded temporarily. Then, as a justice of the peace at Webber’s Prairie, a Lieu-
tenant of Texas Militia, armorer at Fort Croghan, life continued in a fairly unpeacefu!
wjy —until 1861. Because he opposed secession so strongly, Smith wick shook the dust of
Texas for California. History docs not record his later years, but he found time to record
a great deal of history his highly colorful reminiscences of early days in the Lone
Star State.
Texas never could have become a great state without the courage and
devotion to dury of her lawmen—-nor without the commerce and
industry that have provided prosperity and th* good life. The brewing
industry, too, has had a part in this development. Providing payrolls and
the pleasure of moderate beverages, revenue and relaxation — “beer
d belongs.'’ The United States Brewers Association is constantly at work
with brewers, wholesalers, retailers and local authorities to assure the sale
of beer and ale under pleasant, orderly and law-abiding conditions.
