For years inventors have been working hard on the de-
velopment of a flying automooile, The idea is to have a
dual purpose vehicle containing all the advantages of
both the air and land conveyance, but there are also dis-
advantages, The big oostacle, for instance, is the wings
which keep the airplane in the air, If you could make the
wings disappear, press a switch transferring the power
from propeller shaft to axle, you’d have transformed your
flying machine into an automooile, but here a factor com-
es into play wnich makes the transformation difficult, The
wings just won’t disappear, Some designers have them
put into a trailer to be towed by the car, This is the only
answer to the proolem, so far, But just wait for further
developments , , , , ,
For the BEST CARE for yourAUTOMOBILE, take it to

TEXTBOOKS PUBLICIZ-
ED — State Commissioner
of Education J. W. Edgar
sent a list of 203 textbooks,
offered for adoption by Tex-
as schools, to all county
and independent school dis-
trict superintendents, and
recommended that the list
be publicized so the public
will know it’s available,
Textbooks are those
which the State Textbook
Committee is studying for
the 1963-64 school year.

“I wash all these dishes-and more,
says Mrs. A. W. Lott, Lorenzo, Texas
Mrs. Lott reports that she washes as many as 10
services in her electric dishwasher, and proof
that the dishes are washed clean is her statement
that “we have had fewer colds in our family
since we’ve been washing dishes electrically.”
You, too, can enjoy the benefits of electric

Last fall, there were plenty
of protests.
Major complaint was that
the objectors didn’t know
which books were being con-
sidered in time to examine
them fully.
STRONG VOICE SILENT
— When the Texas Railroad
Commission held its month-
ly hearing to determine the
August oil allowable, repre-
sentatives from the major
companies and independents
were heard, but the strong
voice of Commissioner Gen.
Ernest O. Thompson was
missing.
As one oilman after the
other went up to urge a low
eight-day allowable, no
member of the Railroad Com-
mission challenged them,
If “the General” had been
there, he might have done
so, but he was seriously ill
in his home in Amarillo.
PROPERTY TAX STILL
LOW — The State’s Auto-
matic Tax Board kept to the
lowest legal minimum when
it set the State ad valorem
tax rate for next year at 42
cents on each $100 valua-
tion.
Tax boards have kept the
State’s property “tax take”
down to the minimum for sev-
eral years now. It was up to
77 cents per $100 valuation
before a 30-cent general
revenue tax was abolished
in 1951.
Coke and Tom Green Coun-
ties and the Dallas County
Flood Control District are
the only exceptions to the
new rate, Rate is 30 cents
in these three areas.
The 42-cent tax rate will
provide 35 cents for free
public school purposes; two
cents for Confederate and
Texas Ranger pensions and
