Salute To Bee . .
Our neighbor, Bee County, celebrates her centennial
next week with parades, pageants, beards and all the
hoopdedo necessary to close the first 100 years and
start the second.
Mathis’ salute to Bee so far has been an advertisement
in the Centennial book, purchased by the Mathis Cham-
ber of Commerce. We are also sending our school band
over to march in the parade. And many of Mathis resi-
dents — the folks who school and trade in Mathis, but
live across the county border — are taking part in the
festivities.
It behooves Mathis to salute its neighbor next week
with our presence at the various affairs of the Centenni-
al. Both cities are closely linked in serving the ranchers
and farmers of San Patricio, Live Oak and Bee counties.
With the acquiring of a Navy base, chain grocery
stores and other pace - setting downtown renovations.
Beeville has become Mathis’ big sister over the years.
We salute her first 100 years! Her accomplishments
are a challenge.
Public Relations . .
The Chamber of Commerce and the Credit Bureau are
combining forces with the University of Texas Distri-
butive Education Department for a four-day course in
public relations.
The course costs $2 a head and is open to every Math-
is business man, woman — employer and employee.
Whether you admit it or not, you just can’t do busi-
ness (except maybe write a novel or sweep a street)
without public relations.
Yours may be good or they may be bad. Here’s the
best chance you ever had of finding out, starting Nov. 3.

AND
AUSTIN — More dust is being
stirred up over issues than over
candidates, in the build-up to the
General Election, Nov. 4.
Texans will vote on nine propos-
ed amendments to the Constitution.
.One of them, providing for annual
sessions and salaries in the Legisla-
ture, is the subject of hot debate.
A condensed outline of the amend-
ments and arguments being pre-
sented for and against follows:
(Numbers correspond to the order
in which amendments will appear
on the ballot.)
1. Would provide for annual ses-
sions of the Legislature. Odd-year
sessions would be devoted to all
matters, as before, and even-year
sessions would attend to budgeting
and emergency matters. Legisla-
tors would receive an annual salary
of $7,500 (instead of $25 a day for
a 120-day session) and an unspeci-
fied amount for “expenses of office.
PRO: Supporters say annual ses-
sions will allow more time for con-
sideration of important matters.
State financial planning could be
done for one year at a time. No
more having to “guesstimate” fin-
ancial needs for two years ahead.
Better pay would be a step toward
attracting the best qualified persons
to lawmaking. Such influential and
bu Venn Sanford
TEXAS PRESS ASSOCIATION
hard-working groups as the Texas
Junior Chamber of Commerce are i
pushing this amendment.
CON: Equally outspoken are the]
opponents who say it would cause]
needless expense when money is j
already short. More time in ses
sion means more chances to spenc
money. Proposed salary still is not!
enough to attract top-notch talent,]
but “expenses of office” could oper
the door to “fat-cutting” with ’fut
lie funds. Sen. Dorsey Hardenic
of San Angelo is the recognized]
spokesman for the “antis” which]
include some other lawmakers and|
other groups.
2. Would allow counties to ex-|
tend participation in their retire-
ment, disability and death compen-l
sation plans to elective officials of"
the county and precinct. Present^
arrangement covers only appointive!
officials and employes of the coun-|
ty.
PRO: It is a permissive law. Nc|
county has to do it unless the!
voters say so. It would give elect
tive officials the same privilege a:l
appointees, be an attraction to of]
fice.
CON: It sets no requirement
length of service. An official mlghj

These Fords you’ve got to try! Far left is the new
Thunderbird . , . center, the new Custom 300
Tudor Sedan . . . and above, the 9-passenger
Country Sedan.
AWARDED THE GOLD MEDAL
for boautiful proportiont—
by thm Co milt Frangaii do F Eloganca
at tha Brunolt World' < Fair
Styled, powered and priced for today’s driving!
There never was a Ford like this before! Its
classic new design was awarded the Gold Medal
of the Comite Fran^ais de l’Elegance at the
Brussels World’s Fair! With new Thunderbird
flavor in each lively line and tastefully new
interiors, these 59 Fords are beautifully pro-
portioned for elegant driving.
Power, performance and economy are served
up in new proportions, too. All standard Ford
engines — Six or Thunderbird V-8 — thrive on
regular gasoline at regular prices. You save up
to 5 cents on each gallon! There’s a new alumi-
nized muffler that normally will last twice as
long as conventional mufflers used on other
cars . . . full-flow oil filtration that lets you
change oil at 4000 miles instead of the 1000
often recommended . . . new Tyrex cord tires
for greater economy and safety ... a brilliant
new Diamond Lustre Baked Enamel Finish
that’s so durable you won’t have to wax it ever
. . . and two new economy power-transmission
teams that will bring you savings automatically.
That s why we say, for ’59, Ford is truly a
masterpiece of underpricing!
NEW economy team Number One! Get all
the high performance of a completely new
Fordomatic Drive teamed with a Six or Thun-
derbird V-8—at a price that puts automatic

NEW economy team Number Two! Take
Ford’s versatile new Cruise-O-Matic Drive, add
the responsiveness of Thunderbird Special V-8
power and you have the last word in automatic
driving plus the “built-in” overdrive savings
of an economy-geared axle.
Altogether NEW in everything you can see feel or touch!
