Panhandle, Carson County, Texas, Friday, Sept. 12, 1958
You have a date
... to attend the big' 3rd Annual Carson
County Fair, Sept. 12-13 in Panhandle.
The months of preparation come to a
close during these two days with a well
planned and arranged program for every-
one.
Students over the county Ayill have a
holiday in order that they may participate
and this should make it easy for most fam-
ilies to visit during the two days.
Again this year the free barbecue will
be a big attraction and thanks are due
those who donated their money, and labor
and a special tribute to the Veterans of
DO YOU REMEMBER?
Samuel Clements, one of the first hum-
orists, wrote: To prevent dogs from going
jnad in August: Cut their heads off in
July.
When success turns a fellows head, it
usually wrings his neck.

TWO WISE RULES
Two rules we should always have ready
*—1. that there is nothing good or evil save
in the will; and 2. that we are not to lead
events, but to follow them.

Foreign Wars for cooking the feast.
President Jack Ramey and his hard
working board deserve the applause of
the entire county for their unelfish hard
work. Hundreds of houjrs of volunteer
labor is behind your fair and The Herald
is proud that such leadership is available
in Carson county.
Pioneers will recall early days and spe-
cial tribute will be paid to those who came
to this county 50 years ago.
Let’ make it a date—we’ll see you at the
Fair Friday and Saturday.
NEED REMODELING
Panhandle stores, including The Herald,
are in great need of remodeling. Particu-
larly our store fronts and fixtures are not
in keeping with 1958 shopping conditions.
If your automotive dealer was to offer
you a 1926 model car, you would scoff at
him. Yet, there are Panhandle stores that
have not changed a bit in front of fixtures
in 32 years.
We’re fighting for volume business with
old-fashioned equipment and we’re liable
to be second choice unless we act soon.
The little Juarez buildings scattered up
and down Main are a disgrace to anything
but a movie.set staged for the early 1890’s.
1959 CARS ARE COMING
The parade of 1959 models of automo-
biles will start next week, with a car that
is not sold locally leading the showing.
Practically all of the 1959 models will
be on display before the last of October—
before many of us are well acquainted
with the 58s.
Automobile changes and the spice add-
ed by the foreign car imports are creating
a lot of interest. Americans have always
been interested in cars; notice how they
talk cars and go to the opening displays.
Horsepower will be talked down for the
second consecutive year, however, all com-
panie have indicated a slight HP increase.
Here’s hoping we get those payments
behind us on the older models so that we
can buy the ’59.

TEXAS CHAMPIONS OF FREEDOM
MIBMIET WL H0UST0I
First Lady of Texas Independence
So much has been written of Sam Hous-
ton, the magnificent Texan, and so lit-
tle of the woman who comforted and
strengthened him.. his wife. Well
born, well mannered and charming,
Margaret Lea of Alabama was a typi-
cal magnolia blossom of the old South
when she met the hero of San Jacinto.
It was love at first sight, although she
was but 20 years old and he had lived
more than twice her lifetime in a harsh
and dangerous frontier world.
They were married shortly before Gen-
eral Houston became President of the
Republic of Texas for the second time.
A contemporary biographer says, "from
then on her life was writing poems and
love letters to her husband, playing the
harp and piano, managing an overflow-
ing household, bearing and raising
eight children. She also supervised two
large farms and loaned the surplus
profits, always seeking and finding
sound security.”
Today Texans still demand and get
their right to choose the way they want
to live. In this vigorous and freedom-
minded homeland .. "Beer Belongs”
and this is why the United States Brew-
ers Foundation works constantly, in
conjunction with brewers, wholesalers
and retailers to assure the sale of beer
and ale under pleasant, orderly condi-
tions. Believing that strict law enforce-
ment serves the best interests of Texans,
the Foundation stresses close co-opera-
tion with Armed Forces, law enforce-
ment and governing officials in its con-
tinuing Self-Regulation program.

Youll get the best buy on Americas best seller!
This new Chevrolet is attracting a bigger share of America’s passenger car buyers than ever before
... and for bigger-than-ever reasons. It’s the only honest-to-goodness new car in its field. New
throughout! Yet in many models it’s actually the lowest priced of the leading low-priced three.*
says
MR. RAY MAY,
1505 South Kentucky,
Roswell, New Mexico
*‘As an average, working couple, we didn’t realize
how easy it is to buy a freezer until we got ours,”
says Mr. May. The Mays grow food for their
freezer, too, and Mr. May adds, “We fill our freezer
from our small garden space every year.” How
wonderful to pick garden-fresh vegetables out of your
home freezer all year ’long. The delightful
experience can be yours just as soon as you get
your home freezer — whether you ‘grow your own*
or ‘buy ’em on special’ at the market.
