AUSTIN, Tex. — The energy
crisis may bring lower auto
insurance premiums, and the
State Insurance Board has
put off its annual rate hear-
ing to see if that's possible.
The hearing won’t take
place until late September
this year.
By then, the Board hopes to
get statistics on acciden ts and
insurance claims for the first
quarter of 1974.
The 55 miles an hour speed
limit approved in special
legislative session last De-
cember did not take effect
until January 20. Driving
was also curtailed sharply
during early months of the
year because of gasoline shor-
tages.
If statistics for the first
three months show lower
rates are possible, the reduc-
tion would not go into effect
until a month or more after
the September hearing.
Texas Department of Pub-
lic Safety has been asked to
provide accident report de-
tails for the Insurance
Board’s 40 rating territories.
An average statewide re-
duction of 4.3 per cent was or-
dered last year, and many
companies have granted
further "deviation’^ reduc-
tions below the statewide
rates fixed by the regulatory
agency.
CONVENTION WINDING
UP — The Constitutional
Convention is racing toward
a conclusion, but critical de-
cisions — perhaps the tough-
est of the deliberations to
date — remain.
President Price Daniel Jr.
is hopeful of adjournment by
July 15. Before that time, 121
votes must be rallied for the
final document (and separate
referendum items) to be sub-
mitted to voters.
ACCIDENTS PREDICTED
— Col. Wilson E. Speir, direc-
tor of the Texas Department
of Public Safety, estimated 42
lives would be lost in July 4
holiday traffic accidents.
Speir, who declined to
make Christmas-New Year
period forecasts because of
changing traffic conditions
tied to the energy crisis, said
the situation has become
more stable. He said gasolihe
is available in most areas,
and guessed this will bring
additional auto movement on
the highways during the
mid-summer holiday.
Thirteen died in July 4
traffic last year, but the holi-
day period was only 30 hours
long then, compared to an
102-hour period this year
(with the fourth falling on
Thursday). Eighty died in
1972 holiday traffic over a
similar 102-hour period.
All available DPS troopers
and department facilities will
be used to curb unsafe and
reckless drivers, Speir said.
TRAINING CENTER ES-
TABLISHED — Gov. Dolph
Briscoe ordered establish-
ment July 1 of a new State
Employees Training Insti-
tute to upgrade the unskilled
and disadvantaged for jobs in
state government.
The center, to be housed in
The University of Texas, Au-
stin, Extension Service
facilities, will provide "inten-
sive, short-term remedial
education and skill training
-/or new state agency emp-
loyees and will have the
capability to expand training
for new responsibilities.”
Scotland Men
Win Horseshoe
Tournament
Jim Hoffman and Lloyd
Schreiber of Scotland took the
doubles championship trophies
at the Lindsay Homecoming
Picnic, during the festivities
Sunday.
Approximately 50 men were
entered in the tournament and
the locals came from behind to
win.
The final rounds the Scotland
men beat out second place
winners, Jerry Horn and Lenny
Berend of Windthorst. A
special Clysdale Tournament
was held and Schreiber and
partner, Vernon Baggett of
Lindsay, were winners of that
tournament. A trophy and a
pair of big shoes were awarded
to the winners.
Mrs. Schreiber and three
children also attended the
picnic.

If you receive Supplemental
Security Income payments from
the Social Security Administra-
tion there are certain events

curity office. You may report to
the Social Security Administra-
tion by phone if that is more
convenient for you.
