Because Chevrolet’s sleek good
looks, its advanced features, are
only part of the story. The big
bonus is its remarkable roada-
bility, the crisp precision handling
that has posted an entirely new
standard for cars in every price
class. There are reasons for this,
of course: Chevrolet’s balanced
weight distribution that takes
excessive loads off the front wheels,
the wide stance of outrigger rear
springs, Ball-Race steering, spher-
ical-joint front suspension. Sure,
you can admire the sculptured
lines in the showroom. But Chevy’s
a car specifically designed for
beautiful motion—you have to
travel in this one to know just how
terrific it is. Try it, this week!

WILL YOU SHARE SAFETY?
That’s the question that only you can
answer. Safety experts, from experience over
the years, tel! us that 10 will die and another
245 will he seriously injured over the Fourth.
You can keep from being one of the 10 or
245 by following that age old rule, Do Unto
Others As You Would Have Them Do Unto
You.
This old rule applies to driving, shooting
fireworks, being neighbors and such a simple
thing as walking to the post office.
Your share of safety will get a tremen-
dous boost if you apply a BIG, healthy helping
of common sense.
Gordon Stevens
Wins MM Award
Gordon Ralph Stevens, recent
graduate of White Deer-Skellytown
high school and a resident of Skel-
lytown, has been awarded a four-
year opportunity award scholar-
ship at Texas A & M College,
according to Dean W. W. Armi-
stead.
Winners of the Opportunity
Awards were chosen by the Facul-
ty Committee on Scholarships for
college following statewide com-
petitive examinations given t o
more than 600 candidates.
Awards are valued from $800 to
$1,200. The plan was started at
A & M 11 years ago and is sup-
ported by former students, clubs,
businesses, foundations and indivi-
duals. More than 900 students have
received assistance from Oppor-
tunity Awards.
Stevens was one of 85 top high
school students in Texas.
Harold (Hayseed) Stephens,
quarterback on the 1956 state
football champion Abilene Eagles,
joined a galaxy of area grid stars
signing football scholarship ag-
reements at Hardin-Simmons
University, Sammy Baugh, head
coach reported.
TOO MANY SCHOOL EXPERTS
Dr. Walton Manning says that
school systems are getting loaded
down with too many so-called ex-
perts. These officials got much
higher salaries than the teachers
and in turn affect the possible sal-
aries that the classroom teachers
may obtain.
These experts have programs
that they feel must be put into
effect. These programs add to the
duties of teachers and make their
■classroom work harder.
Dr. Manning also holds that a
more realistic merit program must
be followed. Teachers must receive
pay in keeping with their abilities,
not merely on a seniority basis.
The outstanding teachers should be
recognized. If they are not, they
will move to other schools or quit
teaching entirely.
TEXAS PRESS MEETS
The Texas Press Association
held its 78th annual convention in
San Antonio Friday and Saturday,
June 28 and 29. This area was
greatly honored with the election
of Jimmy Gillentine, publisher of
the Hereford Brand, as president.
He had been vice-president during
the past year.
The editors visited Kelly Field at
noon the first day and heard Sen-
ator Lyndon Johnson speak. He
spoke of the high cost of training
air force mechanics and of the
need for longer enlistments in or-
der for the government to receive
value for the money invested.
A feature Saturday morning was
the address of the new junior sen-
ator, Ralph W. Yarborough, who
spoke vigorously against Washing-
ton officials having the power to
declare much information "classi-
fied.” Such a policy would enable
too much secrecy in governmental
affairs, Yarborough declared.
The 1958 convention will be held
in Dallas. There is talk that
Brownsville will seek the 1959 con-
vention.
San Antonio was plenty warm
during the convention days. The
season’s high of 95 degrees was
reached. With the humidity it was
most uncomfortable. Especially
was that true in making the trip to
Kelly Field and a tour of the
grounds immediately after lunch.
47 DWI Arrests
Made During May
A report of Highway Patrol
activities for May reveal that
"driving while intoxicated” has
accounted for 47 arrests and.
speeding 308 arrests of the 767
arrests counted.
One person was killed during
the period, 65 persons were in-
jured and property loss was set
at $71,182.00.
Five persons were killed, dur-
ing May last year. The report
covers the Amarillo rural dis-
trict and does not include acci->
dents in cities of more than 2,500
population, or accidents investi-
gated by other agencies.
Speed is still the main cause
of accidents, followed by DWI,
following too closely and impro-
per passing.
Patrolmen worked more than
8,000 hours and traveled more
than 93,247 miles.
