“BE PREPARED”
HOWE today is face to face with a new era of growth —
brought about by several factor’s, none the least of which is
major industry moving into the Grayson County area, plus the
ever increasing “population explosion.”
As a relatively newcomer to the area, we have heard esti-
mates of population, estimated population, anticipated population
etc. until it becomes confusing.
Richardson, just north of Dallas, grew from a “small town”
of around 1300 in 1950, to a present population of more than
40,000 people.
When people are moving into an area at this rate, a city
faces the challenge of providing services and other necessities
to accommodate the growth. Howe, with its new water system
and new school, plus the progress in providing additional sewer-
age facilities, is way out front at present, and will be prepared
for the increases that are proposed.
With; the beginning of the proposed $1,000,000 commercial
and housing project announced here, Howe is in for a major
period of immediate growth. This growth will also mean more
taxpayers to carry the load, more property values, more busi-
ness for all business people, and'more jobs.
Let’s continue to stay ahead of our anticipated growth.
TRAFFIC SAFETY FOR . STUDENTS
Annual warning to motorists', that they must shoulder a |\ig
share of responsibility for the safety of children of all ages’who
are or soon will be going to school, is extended this year to
include the teen-age group, -by officials from every level of ed-
ucation as well as by police authorities.
The extension of the warning to encompass the younger
group of drivers is inspired by the- considerable increase in the
number of teen-agers who are now driving cars to high schools
and colleges.
A marked increase also has been recorded in the number
of younger folk who are using scooters and motorcycles as well
as bicycles, as their personal means of transportation.
There is a special urgency this year in advice to all of these
as well as to the adult drivers and the truckmen who are pilot-
ing their heavy vehicles over the highways and the byways, to
take their vehicles into the service stations for safety check-ups
often. Make sure they are perfectly responsive to operation under
any emergency condition.

Civil Service Exams
Slated At Perrin Field
Brakes, tires, motor, steering and windshied operation, all
should be checked. Worn parts should be replaced.
Determination of servicing needs should be left to the ex-
perts, the officials say.
Importance of the responsiveness of the automobile or truck
to emergency situations is needed basically because of the un-
derstandable irresponsibility of the very young, despite the care-
ful school they are given in school safety classes. Those in the
lower grades of elementary school do sometimes dart out be-
tween parked cars in the middle of the block.
Driver training for teenagers has helped their traffic safety
record also; yet they are hardly beyond the experience of occa-
sional lapses. Parental observation can help here.
Watch for and obey all “Schools Open — Drive Carefully”
posters which are placed at strategic points in most school areas.

Rural Electric People
Serve Their Neighbors
| MdjLike It
Thai Way
JAural electrics are small in an era of bigness.
They serve only about 10 per cent of the Amer-
ican people with electricity.
But bigness is not the same as greatness.
In their own way, rural electrics try to achieve
a special kind of greatness . . . the kind that
comes from providing a necessary service, and
providing it continuously, economically, and
dependably—but with very little fanfare.
With the help of Rural Electrification
Administration loanc ural people created the
rural electrics to s themselves and their
newhbors, and this is what they will continue
to do.
They like it that way.
