Driver Asks Police
For Traffic Ticket
Dallas, Texas.—A truck driver
came to a stop alongside the po-
lice car of Officer E. H. Hicks and
O. H. Pender, and asked to be
given a traffic ticket. The amazed
officers wanted to know why. The
trucker explained:
“I’ve tried every way in the
world to get my boss to fix this
truck—put license places on and
repair the front and tail lights.
But he absolutely refuses. I be-
lieve I can convince him this
way.”

House of David
To Play Sinton
Sinton, Texas. — When the
bearded beauties of the House of
David tangle with the Rialto All-
Stars in Sinton next Monday
night, cage fans will be treated to
all sorts of basket ball. There
will be enough good basket shoot-
ing and floor work to please the
most critical one who is looking
for technique, and for those who
want comedy there will be side-
splitting moments.
Recent press clippings from the
deep south, where the fans go for
their basket ball seriously, show
that the Davids are asking no
quarter. In a game in Wilson, N.
C., the bewhiskered fellows nosed
out the Atlantic Christian College
55-52 and was acclaimed the best
exhibition of basket ball and
clowning ever witnessed in that
town. In Spartanburg, S. C., Bill
Steinecke and Ham Hamilton,
with the assistance of the other
members of the Davids, came
through with a 33-32 win. Ham
Hamilton looped 27 points on the
previous night.
The boys with the flowing
whiskers are real entertainers and
play the floor, the ball, the fans,
and the clock. They are quick to
sense the temper of the audience
and play to them, but they take
care of the basket ball game at
the same time.
They will be facing one of the
best cage combinations in South
Texas when they meet the Rialto
team, and one that has shown
flashes of great basket ball on
several occasions this season and
have played on even terms with
such teams as Humble Oilers, A.
& I. Javelinas and other fast in-
dependents of this section.
Leading the attack for the Sin-
ton team will be Woodrow Petty
and John Rogers. As buter is to
bread, so does Rogers and Petty
complemen each other. Petty
specializes on a fast break, while
Rogers tips them in from under
the basket.
The game is called for 8 p. m. in
the Sinton gym.

New Disney Film
Acclaimed as Best
New York, N. Y.—Disney has
done it again. That is possibly
as brief and accurate a way as
any to sumimarize the volumes of
acclaim which will most certinly
gret “Pinocchio.” The film real-
izes a marked technical advance
over “Snow White and the Seven
Dwarfs” and by that token is the
most beautiful animated color car-
toon yet produced. It occupied
1,200 workers for two years and
is the combined result of 500,000
paintings. Already translated
into more than 200 languages and
dialects, the nineteenth-century
tale of Carlo Collodi now emerges
in a language of eloquence and
universality. And Walt Disney’s
is the rosetta stone with which
the translation has been made.
Quintana News

Mrs. A. W. Ludtke of Humble
visited in the home of her daugh-
ter, Mrs. L. W. Wilpitz, the past

Enos of Richmond, Texas, and was
formerly of Quintana.

the position of sewing instructor
in the Refugio County PWA sew-
ing room.

ill with pneumonia in the new
hospital since Monday, February
12, is imroving.
Mrs. C. B. Appling of Luling,
Texas, arrived last Wednesday to
be near their mother, Mrs. F. J.
Hare, who is ill.
We are glad to know that little
Patty Sue Lemley and her moth-
er are rapidly improving from
their recent illnesses.
Mr. and Mrs. Jack Enos of
Richmond were back in camp last

Lead-Pencil Speaks
On Film Tracks
In Miami, Fla., a small group
of motion picture engineers gath-
ered to hear the first successful
attempt to manufacture speech
for motion picture sound tracks
by hand and without any aid
from the human voice. The dis-
covery, upon which patents have
been obtained, came when tech-
nicians noted that many of the
markings on the normal motion
picture sound track were alike.
Some of these were duplicated
by free-hand drawings, which
were then photographed and pro-
jected. They gave sounds which
could not be distinguished from
the human voice. According to
Dave Fleischer, in whose studio
experiments are being conducted,
this means that distinctive voices
can be built up by artists for ani-
mated cartoon heroes and hero-
ines in keeping with their screen
characters, and it will also be pos-
sible to form musical compositions
outside the range of the human
voice.

sincerest sympathy to Mrs. von

Firemen of Neenah, Wis., turn-
ed out in sub-zero weather to an-
swer a distress call and found they
had been called to rescue a cat
marooned on a roof where its
yoling was distrurbing the neigh-
borhood.
OU don’t have to look farther
than the nearest parking lot
to see how the public has taken
to this 1940 Buick.
Although it is not the largest seller,
polls of public opinion mark it
clearly as the car “first in the
hearts of its countrymen.”
On general appearance, for in-
stance, Buick gets
better than a 19%
vote as best look-
ing, to 11% for
the Number
Two car.
Its thrifty Dynaflash power plant,
now balanced after assembly, gives
it twice as many Best-of-the-Bunch
votes as any other, as does its
chassis construction.
With soft and easy coil springs all
around it’s only natural that some
two and a half times as many peo-
ple pick Buick as best for ride.
And a two to one vote on room is
understandable in view of the
SUPER’S close-to-five-feet front seat.
But the really satisfying thing to
us is the way people size up
Buick’s value.
Half again as many people pick
The model illustrated is the Buick Super model
51 four-door touring sedan $1109 delivered at
Flint, Mich. White sidevjall tires additional.*
Buick as best buy as pick any
other. And three out of five who
rate Buick No. 1 say it’s the value
that gives it the edge.
So it’s not surprising when polls
show more people wanting Buick
than want any other car — and
when Buick’s midwinter sales
hit new peaks.
And shouldn’t that, in turn, logi-
cally suggest: better get yours
now — and be sure of having it?
