There are a thousand new things a-borning Lab­oratories are working feverishly on petrvK'henucals, on electronics and plastics, on b.v-products of the split atom, and power from the »un. purified water from the sea. synthetic fibers, substitutes for milk, prob­lems of dust, .smoke, friction, weights and decay; stronger, lighter, cheater, and longer la.sting building materials; 50.00U molds or fungi which might produce resutts comparable to penicillin, to mention only a few Resistaru-e to them exists today as ever."

What, then, has oeen the cause of our unparalelled acceptance and u.i-e of so many things, despite all the resistance, and our attain­ment of living standards which are the envy of most of the rest of the world ' In Mr. Thorj>e’s view, the cause is found in a relatively small grtiup of (people—the salesmen. He writes. "The American salesman, wholly unlike hi‘ kind in other countries, is not a mere order taker. He IS a promoter He i> a merchant, not a storekeeper. He keeps goods in his store, but. thi.« is the important difference, he takes pains to pro­mote the sale of them .American .salesmanship has made one-time lux­uries. t o d a y i i n v e'*iences, yestei day's conveniences, toda.v's neces-, sities ■■

Ml Thorpe goes on at length to show how salesmanship has transformed this country, to the enormous benefit of everyone in it At the end he sav.-.. "The pla.n and simple fact is that the United States of .America is kept a going concern tlirough the indestructible spirit ot these Business ‘.mtassadors of the more .Abundant Life. We all hojic and pray fo; an espaiidii.g economy .American salesmanship has been, and IS toda.'. the answe: to that pra.ve;'."

A father always is responsible (or the support of his minor chil­dren. This IS true even though the father and mother are divorcevf, and either or both have married again.

For example, take the hypotheti­cal ca.se of a man named John Smith When he and his wife Su­san were divorced, the decree con­ta in «! an order requiring John to pay Susan SlOO each month for the support of their two minor chil­dren. both of whom were under 16 years of age.

John paid the money every month for a year. Then he heard that Susan had married again, so he discontinued the monthly pay- ncnt.-i. Six montns later he was jtiVed with an order citing him into court for failing to pay t;.e money. He also was arrested and

I charged vv ith family desertion, which i.N a telony and punishable by imprisonment.

John protested bitterly to fcis attorney that his former wife was married again, his children had a father, and that he no longer should be held responsible for the children. But John learned that his understanding of the law' was faul­ty.

The attorney explained that John still w'as the father of his children and was as responsible for their welfare as he had ever been. This would continue until the step-fath­er or some other person should adopt the children, or until the children became of age. But be­cause Susan's second husband had not adopted the children, John still was liable for the support money payments and could be punished by the court, even by im­prisonment if necessary, for his re­fusal to comply with the court order.

Elqually faulty in his conception of the law was another fictional father we shall call James Jones.

A Texas court aw'arded his di­vorced w ife $75 per month for sup­port of their minor child. Jones payed the support mone.v each month tor some lime.

Recently, however, Jones re-mar- ried, and. m the financial strain of establishing a new home, decided to cut down on the payments. In­stead of sending his former w'ifc $75 each month, he sent $10. He j thought he was staying within the. law because he was. after all. giv-1 ing something toward his child's' support. I

I Q— I have a 20-year GI h< me I loan and I've recently had to take I on some additional financial obli­gations. Now' I'm afraid I won't be able to meet my monthly payments Is there anything that can be done, so I won’t have to default on my loan?

A — Yes. It may be possible for the terms of repayment to be ex tended over a longer period of time, which would re.iult in lowci monthly payments. You should discuss the matter with your lend­er or your VA office.

Q— Through an oversight. I paid my GI insurance premium just be­fore th« 31-day grace period came to an end. But I'm afraid the pre­mium won't reach VA until after the grace period expires. Will my insurance lapse'

A —The postmark date cn the envelope is considered as the date on which the premium was paid. So long as the postmark date is w'ithin the grace period, you will be protected.

T t««» P '*** Auociatien^^.gTiN—Kfuding between the

I HO (actors of Texas Young Demo- (rtts risht out in the open, con-

I rttutes a sort of sneak prevue of .■arrmt; to come as the liberals and (onsercatives slug it out for party

I control.Meeting m Fort Worth Friday,

I the conservatives, headed by Max ynplett of Hillsboro, planned for I jUte convention and looked a- Ixad to the national convention

[ ir. St. Paul.CUinung official sanction, the 1 Triplett grnup had the endorse-

of Wallace Savage of Dallas, gate Democratic chairman, and Mn H H Weinert of Segum, na-

I con-.n'.itti-ewoman.Mrs. Weii.eit had a letter from

ISiephe!-. A. Mitchell, national! Democi'itic chairman, to the effect | that ret' gnition of a Texas Young DenccraUc organization mu s t ctwie through approval by senior |irty officials in the state.

A rival Young Demo organiza- I ticc of liberals was formed at a Ssn Antonio meeting, where Bill McKniitht of Dallas was elected IKiident and authorized the ex- scubvc committee to send dele-

I litas to St Paul.Official status also was claimed

1 t h e liberals, who said they had Re nod from the national young I Dmocratic organization.

—tpa—liberals and coniervativas are

laipsrently agreed on one thing:I Toas is in no danger of becoming I a republican state.

Covenor Allan Shivers told re- Jisrten that "Texas is an over*I «hclmingl.v Democratic State and.I in my opinion, will be that way for I a long time to come.”

S.hivers of course, is bitterly I opposed to the liberal Damocrats I who stuck with Adlai Stevenson I last year. The Governor led the I Texas Democrats in the successful jlijcnhnwer campaign.

liberal Texas Damocrats, viaw* led recent elections around the ■ country as a "trend back to hte ipirty fold.”

A typical comment was that of Con|re5srr.,in Homer Thornberry

■who said that while he didn’t con­

sider the Democratic victories a reflection on the president, he did see "a trend away from the Re- publicams and a feeling that they are not performing on their prom­ises."

—tpa—One point of contention between

the liberals and the con.servatives is the matter of states' rights.

Shivers established his viewpoint on the subject at a session of south­ern governors in Hot Spring.», V ir­ginia.

‘AVe have allowed ourselves to be bribed v\ith our own money,” the governor said, adding:

"The matching dollar w i t h strings attached has carried the federal government into nearly cver.v phase of state activit.v”

— tpa—Prospective candidates for the

governorship of Texas still are waiting for Shivers to make up his mind. Their places hinge on his de­cision. It presents the (leculiar ca.se of the political fortunes of many men hinging on the decision of one. He refuses to be counted in or out of the picture

Many who might run wonder vs'hether they would be respected more for making up their own minds, rather than waiting for the governor to decide for them.

At the Virginia meeting. Shivers was asked whether he might run for the U S. Senate again.st Lyndon Johnson.

Shivers responded that he hadn't any idea of running for anything right now, but "don't construe that as saying that I would not be a candidate fur the Senate."

Mayor Roy Hofheinz of Houston was one of the many who sat wait­ing for Shivers.

He told reporters that he does not intend to run for governor if Shivers is a candidate for re-elec­tion.

Did that mean that he would run for governor if Shivers is not a candidate?

Mayor Hofheinz did not say.Another man who had thoughts

of politics in his mind was Con­gressman Lloyd M. Bentsen Jr. Here is a newspaper's comment on the occasion of Bentsen's visit to Austin to address the junior chamber of commerce:

“ Bent.sen’s plans for next year have provided one of the state's best political guessing games. To date he has had nothing definite to say."

Our guess is that Bentsen will not say until he hears what Shiv­ers is going to do.

—tpa—Should Texas optometrists be |

permitted to advertise'’ jThe question is going to be

fought out in the courts. jRea.son: The State Board of Ex-|

aminers m Optometry has ordered i a new "standard of practice,” ban- ' nmg advertising other than a pro- ' fes.sional card not to exceed two by j four inches in size.

During the last session of the I.^gislature, the Texas Optométrie | Association tried to push through j a bill granting the state board I authority to enforce this same j code of ethics primarily designed to stop price advertising. Legisla­ture refused to pass the bill. So the board adopt.s it auyvvay.

Legislature creates board. Board thumbs noses at legi.slature. Sort of like David whipping Goliath, isn't it? I

Question to be decided now is: 'Is the Board more powerful than the legislature? |

Meanwhile the public will watch with interest for if the rule is al­lowed to .stand the price of eye- glas.ses will skyrocket as it has in other states where such non-adver- tising laws exist. |

— tpa— IAssociate Justice Will Wilson of

the Texas Supreme Court, writing , in the Texas Legion News, praised the veterans land program and [ suggested that it be extended to | include city and town real estate, j

" I f a veteran did not wish to j use his loan for a home,” wrote ! Wilson, "he should be given the | opportunity to make a conserva­tive investment in well-secured I rental property, such as an paie­ment or a small budding."

Under the present veterans land program, former service men can purchase farm or ranch land by making a modest down paynaent with the rest payable on a long- team basis at low interest.

Help is on the way for people in the drouth-stricken parts of Texas. *

They w ill get hay for their live­stock, free of shipping cost, through a program jointly worked out by the state and the federal govern­ment. Texas’ Commisaioner of Ag­riculture John White completed final arrangements with Washing­ton officials.

There were 86 counties still in th e emergency drouth-stricken parts of Texas.

Most Pedestrian j Accidents Needless

"Most pedestrian accidents are needless.”

Col. E. B. Tilley of Houston, President of the Texas Safety As­sociation, and Services Advisor for the Gulf Oil Corporation made that observation today in speaking in behalf of the November pedestrian safety program his group is spm- soring in cooperation with the De­partment of Public Safety.

"In most pedestrian trafic fa­talities." Col. Tilley s a i d , "the pedestrian is violating the law or the common sense rules of safety.

"Statistics on last year’s motor vehicle deaths,” he said, “ show that 3S per cent of pedestrians kill­ed in cities and towns were cross­ing streets between intersections, while another 10 per cent either were crossing at intersections a gainst th e signal or crossing diagonally.

"Another 25 per cent were cross­ing intersections where there was no signal," Col. T illey said. "Cer­tainly many of the.se accidents would not have occurred if the pedestrians had exerci.sed caution. They literally ‘walked themselves to death’ .’ ’

To be safe — and stay alive — in traffic, he listed 11 rules for pedestrians. They follow:

1. Cross streets at CORNERS only.

2. Never walk into the street from between parked cars.

3. Obey traffic signs and sig­nals — cross on GREEN or W ALK only.

4. Wait on sidewalk — not in street — for GREEN light <or walk» or for gap in traffic if corner has no traffic signal.

5. Cross streets in crosswalks — don't cross intersections diagon­ally.

6. Look LEFT and then RIGHT for traffic while crossing. Watch sharply for turning cars. <Be es­pecially careful at one-way streets to check the direction of approach­ing traffic.)

7. After getting o ff bus or streetcar, don’t go around it, front or rear. Wait until it leaves before crossing.

8. Don’t croas street when in unfit physical condition. Get glass-

Improvedînléias

by a widor margin than ovorA few weeks after the Japanese

sarreader ia World War II, tke Huas- ble Company introduced a vastly improved Esso Extra gasoline to Texas XMtorists.

At tkat time, tke Company prom- tsed a policy of condauons improvo- nsontt Humble told motorists tkat Esse Extra would never take second place in quality.

Tkat promise kas been kept. Im­provement of Esso Extra kas been centianous. Statewide, Esso Esrtre kas consistently led otker Texas gasolines ia qnniity. Statewide, Esso Extra kas boon No. 1 ia quality rs'ery year.

Asid new, because Texas motorists driving modern automobiles keve learned tkat Esso Extra gives tkem extra performance. Ease Extra is also No. 1 ia sales.

Tke improvoasont in tke quality of Esao Extra announced by tkis adver­tisement ia substaatiel — it is a nsajor improvomont. It places Esso Extra far akead of ockor gosoliaos in tke quali- tias tkat are relUcted by perfennance in yowr car.

Today, Esso Extra gasoline is No. 1 In Texas by « wider margin tbaa ever before.

Now the BEST gasoline in Texas IS even BETTER/

CssoCxfra gasoline, statewide»has consistently led all other Texas gasolines in quality; now, new improvements have widened the margin Iwtwccn Esso Extra and the rest: Humble Esso Extra has no equal throughout the state of Texas.

Tastfi pravt Csso&ctra's tvp tria r gvality!There are three qualities of a gaso­

line that are brought out in the per­formance of your car In all these three qualities. Esso Extra leads.

Extensive and continuous labora­tory testing of Esso Extra and other gasolines proves Esso Extra's su­perior qualities, and these laboratory tests have been confirmed by road testing in specially equipped automo­biles

Isao Ix tra loads in anti-knock pnrf ormoncn; In today's automo­bile engines, with their high compres­sion ratios, anti-knock performance is the most noticeable quality of a good gasoline. There is no substitute for this quality Only a gasoline with a high octane rating — that is, high anti-knock performance — bums so evenly and completely that it trans­fers all the usable energy from the gasoline to the pistons. When your car's engine pings or knocks, you’re losing power. Esso Extra has the highest anti-knock performance in Texas.

Isso Ix tro Inads in pewar: High anti-knock performance assures more power. Since Esso Extra has the highest anti-knock performance in Texas, it gives you more power than any other Texas gasoline. This

conclusion has been verified by spe­cial laboratory testing equipment which actually measures the power delivered by a gasoline burning in an automobile engine. Road tests by both Humble technicians and inde­pendent research facilities have con­firmed the laboratory tests Your car will develop extra power when you use Esso Extra.

Itso Ixtra Inods in quick start­ing: In comparative tests with other gasolines. Esso Extra's quick start­ing characteristics were rated "Excel­lent." while those of other popular gasolines ranked from "p oor" to merely “ adequate.” When you use Esso Extra your engine starts at almost the instant you press the starter button But quick starting is more than a convenience. It saves gasoline, and it prevents gasoline di­lution of the crankcase oil. If you use your car mostly for town driving, you will specially appreciate Esra Extra's quick starting qualities.

And for goad maatwra, Itta Ixtro contains a potontod sol­vent oil: This oil IS not a lubricant. Its purpose is to dissolve the gummy substances that collect carbon on top of pistons and under valves, and thus help to prevent carbon deposits in the upper parts of the engine.

Sa« fo r you rso lf — t« ft £sso Extra in yowr own cor

ssoA S O L I

Extra

21 miles of new freight carsadded by Santa Fe last year f

■ A m i l

Remember when you used to count freight cars as a kid?

How would you like to count and stencil the "atamp of newnesa" on 21 miles of them?

That’s what Santa Fe did last year added 21 miles o f new cars to its great fleet of modem freight cars.

And 80 it goes—year after year after year— untU today there are 84,898 freight cars serving shippers on the Santa Fe.

W ith this building new program, Santa Fe is meeting the ever-grow> in f need for moving vast tons of

wheat, livestock, perishable foods, minerals and merchandise to the markets of America.

And many of these cars are new and special types to serve shippers in new and better w ays— like the "M T C 3150” mechanical refriger* ator car that works like your home freezer.

I t costs Santa Fe millions of dollars—earned dollars— to acquirs this great fleet and maintain ita own "steel h i| ^ a y .”

But it doesn’t add a penny to tbB tazsa you pay.
