In Texas Draft
AUSTIN—Country boys and
city boy> get the same deal from 1
the draft in Texas, according to j
a study made by .state Selective
Set vice headquai ters.
Results show that 53 out of 1
every UK) draft registrants in
Texas live in predominantly ru-
ral areas. State cumulative draft
records under the present law
-how that 54 out of every 100 in-
ducted from Texas have come
from these areas.
Predominantly urban areas
have 47 out of every 100 state
draft registrants. Draft records
show that 46 out of every 100
Texas men inducted have come

the country and city are pulling
their share of the load," Briga-
dier General Paul L. Wakefield,
state draft director, commented.
“It’s just another indication that
democracy works in this coun-
try."

Uuick’s popular four-door Riviera sedan in the Super Series, incomparable in the medium-priced
field, is presented here in its new 1952 styling. Important new exterior styling changes and exquisite
new interior appointments lend a new note of elegance and beauty to the super. New for 1952 are the
sweepspear and rocker panel moldings, rear fender ornaments, and high luster stainless steel wheel
covert, offered as an option. A new high arc rear deck lid raises the silhouette of the rear section and
provides seven per cent more room in the luggage compartment. The Riviera sedau is mounted on a
12512 inch wheelbase—four inches longer than other models in the Super Series—which gives addi-
tional roominess and comfort. It is powered by the high performance F-263 Fireball engine which de-
velops 128 horsepower with Dyuatiow. New and bigger front wheel brakes, for greater safety, are
features on all 1952 Buicks.

Airy—Just two months ago, you
left me. Our home where we lived
together 4i years and reared our
children, is sad and lonely. Your
place is vacant in our home. A
vacant chair at the table, vacant
chair in the corner where you sat
and read the word of God. Your
voice is still, can’t hear you sing
any more. Your place is vacant in
the church. Your voice is still
in the B. T. C. and choir. Hope
your word atill remains in the
hearts of young people. Sooner or
later I will meet you in that man-
sion above.—Laura.
