To Confer About &ijs
and Truck Regulation
Longview, Texas, December, 31.—
The regulation of motor trucks will
’be the subject of five ^district confer-
ences in January called by the East
’’’exas Chamber of Commerce. A
iail ^referendum is now being con-
ducted by the regional chamber to as-
certain the views of its members and
'’affiliated local chambers of commerce
'bn this important subject. The move-
ment of cotton by motor truck along
*East Texas highways during the past
“three months has aroused considerable
’comment, according to Guy A. Blount,
president of the East Texas Chamber.
The referendum was mailed on Decem-
ber 19 and many replies have already
T)een received. Balloting on the ref-
‘erenidum will close January 5. Ex-
pressions of sentiment on this refer-
endum will be used as a basis for the
East Texas organization’s action on
’legislative matters when the Legisla-
ture meets early next month.
Dates and plans for district confer-
ences are as follows:—District No. 1,
■Greenville, Monday, January 5, Vice-
Tresident John D. Middleton of Green-
ville presiding, composed of the coun-
ties of Grayson, Fannin, Lamar, Col-
lin, Hunt, Dolta, Hopkins, Rains, Van
Zandt, Rockwall, Kaufman and Dallas.
County councillors and local cham-
bers of commerce are asked to ex-
press themselves on the fallowing
propositions: (A) Truck and bus op-
erators’ license which represents com-
pensation for their wear and tear on
highways; (B) The establishment of
such operatnig requirements as will
'further limit: 1. the length of vehic-
les; 2. the weight of vthicles; 3. the
width of vehicles; 4, the speed of ve-
hicles; 5. the use of trailers; (C) The
establishment of such regulation as
will require the licensing of drivers
with provisions permittnig cancella-
tion of license on evidence of unrelia-
bility or physical deficiency; (D) The
establishment of such regulations as
will provide for sworn returns of ra-
tes and revenues received, with penal-
ties equivalent to those applicable to
violations by railways of tariffs; (E)
y The establishment of such regulatinos
' as will require physical examination
of employees responsible for driving
on highways; (F) Require the Rail-
road Commission to give consideration
to the adequacy of rail transportation
in determining the public necessity for
motor truck or bus lines.
Better.Times Ahead
Originating in U. S.
New York, Dec. 28.—Economic re-
covery wiil begin in the United Statts,
Sir Josiah Stamp, prominent British
financier, predicted Sunday in a speech
broadcast from London.
“On the signs of the present,” he
said, “I think that substantial recov-
erey will come from your side first.
What we need, of course, is to keep
our fundamental conditions rightly
framed so that recovery will find us
ready for action as it gains momcn
turn”
Sir Josiah, who is chairman of the
London, Midland & Scottish Railway,
said he expected recovery to be grad-
ual
Sir Josiah stressed America’s im-
portance in the economic affairs of the
world. America, as a greater creditor
Nation, he said, can no longer look
lightly upon her responsibility for
world solidarity. She may judge her
financial affairs, he said, primarily by
their internal effects but she will not
4 do this properly unless she considers
her effect upon the world.
“First of all,” the speaker declared
“we ought to maintain cheap money
as long as possible, not merely cheap
money on a short character, but also
money lent for considerable periods.”

New President Named
For Austin College
Sherman, Texas, Dec. 30.—Dr. E,
B. Tucker, president of Arkansas Col-
lege, BatesVille, Ark., has been named
to the presidency of Austin College,
Sherman, Judge W. A. Vinson, Hous-
ton, chairman of the board of trustees,
. announced Tuesday. Dr. Tucker’s res-
ignation has been accepted by the
Arkansas college and he will take of-
fice Feb. 1, immediately after the
opening of the second semester.
Dr. Tucker brings an experience of
more than thirty years as a practical
educator, his vocation since he was
18 years old. His latest work, for
seven years, has been in the Batseville
college, which is a Presbyterian col-
lege of the same type as Austin Col-
lege. He was cofounder of the Peo-
ple’s Tucker School, Springfield, Tenn.
Tt* was bora forty-nine years ago.
Dr. Tuccker attended and was grad-
ated from Vanderbilt University at
Nashville. He has also had graduate
work in the George Peabody College
for Teachers at Nashville. In addi-
tion, he holds the degree LL. D. con-
ferred upon him by Arkansas College
in 1925.
The new president immediately suc-
ceeds the Rev. Thomas Stone Clyce,
D. D. LL. Dr., who took office in June,
1900, and whose administration has ex-
tended over a period fo thirty years.
Dr. Clyce resigned last June, after
notice given more than a year before
of his intention to give up his office
if consolidatoin of the Pres-
byterian colleges should be effected.
The new board of trustees took over
the administration in June, 1930, and
elected Dr. Clyce presdient emeritus.
Dr. Clyce’s administration has been
characterized as the period of expan-
sion of Austin College. He has seen
its departments expand from five to
fifteen; its enrollment grow from 100
to 500; its assets mount from $150,000
to $750,000; buildings increase from
one to six, and he has personally hand-
ed out approximately 700 diplomas to
as many graduates.
Dr. Tucker takes over the direction
of the college at the peak of its de-
velopment to date, officials point out.
Following consolidation, augmented
by a plan of co-operation with Kidd-
Key College and Conservatory, Meth-
odist institution in Sherman, the col-
lege opened this year with an enroll-
ment 40 per cent greater than that of
last year, despite econdmic conditions
which effected a decrease in attend-,
nace at some colleges.
During the fall announcement has
come from the board of trustees that a
financial policy and plans for both
immediate maintenance the future
strengthening have been put into ef-
fect, a survey of the academic situa-
tion made and the needs provided for,
and other activities undertaken cn be-
half of the consolidated college.
This Being the first of the new
year, the Record is issuing only four
pages in order to have a little time
to clean house. However, due to the
small amount of advertising, there is
about as much news in the paper as
usual.

vertising cheap rates in this paper.
Until Jan. 19 the fare for round-trip
will be the regular one-way fare.
Always feel free to come in and talk t6 us about your car. A
minor repair today may forestall serious difficulty in the future.
Observe these four, simple precautions and you will Pdd many
miles to the life of your car.
1. Have you car oiled and greased regularly. Lubrication is
only 2 percent of your upkeep expense, but the lack of it is respon-
sible 90 percent of the repairs oh a car.
2. Have your car inspected regularly. Simple,, inexpensive ad-
justments often save expensive repairs later on.
3. Have your motor tuned and adjusted regularly. All motors
need this attention and you will not only get more smoothness and
power but greater economy as well.
4 Have your car serviced exclusively, by an Authorized Chev-
rolet Dealer.
