BOX SCORE OF DURABILITY
STAMINA AND PERFORMANCE
AT DAYTONA, FEB.24,1963
all the other things that go into Ford's
concept of total performance.
These were the same '63% Super
Torque Fords that made styling history
at their preview at Monaco, and
which were recently announced at
your Ford Dealer's. They're yours now;
get behind the wheel and find out for
yourself what total performance means!

Daytona is no "private" test arranged by a manufacturer to favor his car's strong
points. It is open competition — anyone can enter—and the one thing that is
proved by its searing 500 miles is just exactly how well a car hangs together. At
Daytona, Florida, on February 24, five brand-new 1963% Fords showed the world
what durability means by sweeping the first five places. And that has never been
equaled in Daytona history!
The box score at the left tells the true
story...car endurance that takes brutal
punishment and comes back for more.
No proving ground can equal this
kind of torture. Daytona was a chal-
lenge we welcomed, a chance to
prove in open competition the essen-
tial durability that makes possible the
silence, the solid road-grip, the ease of
control, the balanced braking . . . and

No matter how wretched the weather, you
can keep right on using your telephone.
Some years ago, bad weather might have
affected your telephone service.
Today, things are different.
Most telephone cables are now filled with
pressurized dry air. If a cable springs a leak,
the force of the escaping dry air holds out
moisture and keeps phones working. An alarm
automatically tells repairmen the location of
the break. Usually, the trouble is fixed and
you never know anything was wrong.
So go ahead and use your phone when the
sky opens up and the rain comes down. Pres-
surizing telephone cables to give you storm-
proof dependability is another improvement
made with you in mind. Our never-ending
goal is to improve your telephone service and
make it more valuable to you.

9tb TEXAS DISTRICT
March 14, 1963
Dear Neighbors:
The week after you read this
letter will be National Rice
Week. It is a salute to a Great
Industry and one of particular
interest to us. Ten of the four-
teen principal rice producing
counties of Texas are in our
District. Proceeds of the Indus-
try play a major role in our
economy. For many years I
headed the Rice Subcommittee
in the House of Representatives
and worked with the greatest
of pleasure and satisfaction
with the men who operate the
various phases of that great op-
eration. Even yet, I am proud
and happy to say the Industry
looks to me to take care of their
legislative problems here in
Washington.
Two measures of mine are
now in the legislative hopper:
One clearing up the succession
of interest law and providing
that a farmer who has been
producing rice on his own land
need not sell that land if he
goes out of the rice business.
The other would help to clear
up the questions which arose
incident to the well remember-
ed irregularities of last year.
It is my pleasure to pay tri-
bute to this Great Industry. If
all other phases of agriculture
would do as well, it would be
much easier for all concerned,
particularly those of us here in
Washington.
The rice people took a hard
blow when the great and im-
portant Cuban market was de-
stroyed by Communist Castro.
With remarkable determina-
tion and ingenuity the Rice In-
dustry went out into the world
markets and found customers
for the rice previously sent to
Cuba. At the moment there are
no surplus problems which
would cause us serious concern.
Please pass the rice and some
of that gravy!

The Peach Creek Philosopher
on his Johnson grass farm on
Rt. 3, Shiner gets his mind off
the international situation this
week, for a change.
Dear editar:
You hear so much about Cuba
these days you’d think it was
the only problem facing this
country, but I read about a
problem last night that will get
your mind off international af-
fairs.
According to it, a bunch of
fox hunters in the
try in Virginia
are up in arms
over the plans
of a utility
company to rdh
transmis-
sion lines across
their fox hunt-
i n g territory.
The utility
company says it’s the
nomical route to run
and the fox hunters
aren’t interested in
they don’t want the light poles
ruining the scenery.
I don’t know anything about
the particulars, I’m in the same
shape about the fox hunting
country as I am about whether
there are any missiles in caves
in Cuba, the same as the mili-
tary experts, but I am interest-
ed in the theory that an electric
light pole mars the scenery.
Understand, I’m in favor of
country scenery, got more of it
out here than I have crops;
there’s nothing prettier than the
sun coming up across an ex-
panse of open territory on a
crisp, crystal clear spring
morning, especially if you can
see it through a window while
you’re under a warm blanket,
but it’s not a bit prettier than
a string of electric light poles

me by reading my columns and
by listening to my radio pro-
grams was impressed by my re-
port of long hours and constant
hearings in the Ways and
Means Committee. He wrote a
most interested letter to me,
asking how members of the
Committee could attend hear-
ings all day long and still at-
tend to the multitude of other
duties which confront a Member
of Congress. The answer is a
simple one: We just work long-
er hours and in my own case
trust to an unusually competent
staff. If it is necessary for me
to be somewhere other than in
the Committee, I take advant-
age- of the transcript of the
testimony. Every word spoken
in the Committee, whether by
a witness or by Committee
members, is taken down in
shorthand and is available later
that same day or earlier the
next morning. It can be read
and studied at leisure, more or
less.
In the early weeks of any
congressional session the major
portion of the work is done in
the various committees. Legis-
lation is prepared for later sub-
mission to the full membership.
When it is ready there will be
more sessions and a greater de-
mand for our presence on the
floor. When that time comes
the Ways and Means Commit-
tee meets in a special hearing
room adjacent to the House
Chamber. It is the only legisla-
tive committee authorized to
continue its hearings when
general debate is going on.
Sincerely yours,

Me, I’m all in favor of elec-

Spring Is
Cleanup Time
College Station. — “A n d
spring cannot be far behind.”
Mother Nature has started her
green-up and a rough winter
will soon be history. Why not,
asks the Texas Farm and Ranch
Safety Council, set aside what-
ever time is needed for the
spring cleanup job?
Farm people everywhere can
make their farms and homes
safer and more pleasant by
cleaning up and disposing of
the winter’s collection of trash
and debris, points out the Coun-
cil, and the time to do it is be-
fore the spring rush of farm
work begins.
Spring Cleanup Week is a
nationally promoted safety ef-
fort. Its purpose, according to
the Council, is to encourage
community action for the re-
moval of hazards which endan-
ger life, property and health.
Farm families lose about 800
lives and $163 million worth of
property annually through fires.
About 11,300 farm residents are
killed in accidents and another
950,000 injured. A general
cleanup of homes and farms
will remove many fire and ac-
cident hazards, emphasizes the
safety group.
More than 22 percent of all
farm accidents occur in the
home; 19.5 percent in barns and
other buildings; 19.2 percent in
traffic and 18 percent in fields,
and even though the farm pop-
ulation is declining, the rate c/
fatal accidents per 100,000 per-
sons is increasing, points out

their belief that accidents can
be prevented and that good
housekeeping around the farm-
stead and in the home and the
practicing of good safety habits
at work and in traffic can re-
duce the number of deaths and
crippling injuries.

District News
® Clifton DuBose, a coopera-
tor with the district in the Ham-
mon Community, has completed
grubbing the mesquite on about
25 acres. This land was in cul-
tivation years ago. The native
grasses such as Texas winter-
grass and buffalo will be rested
and permitted to cover the
field. By managing these two
grasses properly, he will soon
have Texas wintergrass for use
in the winter months and buf-
falograss for the summer.
• Edward Reese, a cooperator
with the district on his ranch
near Stieren, has built a diver-
sion terrace to eliminate a spill-
way problem on a farm pond.
• Ray Gescheidle, a coopera-
tor with the district on his farm
south of Gonzales, is putting in
a Coastal Bermuda waterway.
This waterway will take care of
the runoff water from 30 acres
of cultivated land.
• Robert Breitschopf has
completed planting 31 acres of
Coastal Bermudagrass. This
land was heavily infested with
mesquite brush. The brush was
dozed, staked and burned. The
land was then rootplowed, rak-
ed and disked. Coastal was
planted and fertilized according
to a soil analysis.
• Clair Wright, a cooperator
with the district, has completed
planting 38 acres of Coastal
Bermudagrass. He had a well
prepared seedbed and this is
very, important in planting
Coastal. A lot of poor stands
can be caused by the land not
being prepared properly before
planting.
