liam B. Harbour and Walter M.
Manly, were honored by fellow
church members Sunday, Feb-
ruary 27, at the conclusion of
the morning worship service.
Neither ot the honorees could
lie present, and relatives
epled engraved plaques
them.
Barbour is a patient in
Antonio s Metropolitan Hospital
where he is gaining strength
alter several strokes, and Mr.
Manly is a resident ot a Houston
retirement home.
James C. Bartxmr. also a
church elder, accepted on behalf
oi ius father. Miss Mildred
Manly, accepting tor her uncle,
said she would be going to
Houston in the near future and
she wui present the plaque per-
sonally.
Martin Schulze. senior
elder and church treasurer,
made the presentations which
had been voted by the Session
Presbyterian church governing
body. He was introduced by the
Rev. Patricia s Pabst, pastor.
Schulze, outlining the honor-
ees lives, said that when Manly
relumed from World War I
service, he went into partner-
ship with his brother m pub-
lishing the Cotulla Record and
lhai he was involved in its pub-
lication with his niece and
nephew (after his brothers
death) until the nephew died in
1963 and the newspaper was
sold.
Throughout those years
and until he moved to Houston,
Manly devoted much of his time
l<> cattle ranching. He also ser-
ved on the Cotulla City Council
tor many years.
He was married to Mary
Sue Holman and they had two
sons. Waller Marion HI and
Dixon Holman, both of whom
are deceased. His wife died in
1974, about a year after they
moved to Houston, Manly
continued to live with his daugh-
ler-in-law Betty, until he entered
lhe nursing home several years
later. Manly, 87, has
grandchildren and four
grandchildren.
We saw so many
that he did tor our community,"
Schulze said. He always sup-
pined our church: he does so
even now.
In Presbyterian Church gov-
ernment. the Session (or body
ot ruling eiders) is equivalent to

(board of deacons) compares

tives. particularly in relation

The Department of Public Safety f«»r» additional
carnage on Texas highways if a bill is passed to abolish
annual car inspections
DPS Sgt K. W Thompson ssid thst the department
is against the bill.
"We’re very concerned thst. if this should pass we
almost immediately would experience an increase in
defective vehicles and accidents,” »•><* Thom peon,
supervisor for the vehicle inspection program in the
fifteen county area surrounding San Antonio. .
He aaid he feared additional carnage on the state s
highways if the Legislature passes the bill. ,
The bill, which would strike down Texas car in-
spection law, was re-introduced in Austin this week by
state Rep. Jim Horn, R-Lewisville.
Under Horn's proposal, the DPS would make spot
checks for safety violations, but the inspection stacker
requirement would be dropped.
Thompson stated that spot checks for defective
equipment would be ineffective as an alternative to
annual inspections because of manpower limitations.
“We now have over 20,000 certified inspectors checking
over 11 million vehicles annually,” ’**d Thompson. It
would be impossible for our troopers to check this
many vehicles without neglecting our other respon-
sibilities,” he continued.
Thompson said the proposal is coming at a bad time
because of problems brought on by the nation s recent
economic woes.
‘‘The vehicle inspection program is more important
right now than it has ever been.” Thompson said.
“For one thing, people are driving their cars longer
than they once did.” Thompson ssid that, according to
a recent study by the Federal Highway Ad-
ministration, the average car on the road is now 6.9
years old. He said the comparable figure in 1970 was 5
one-half years. It is generally accepted that, the older a
car is, the more likely it is to have defects.
In the FHA study, they referred to it as the 'Drive it
‘til it stops” syndrome, Thompson said. Heck, people
can’t afford to buy new cars anymore.
“A second thing is that more people are now using
self-service stations and their cars in many instances
probably aren’t getting the regular attention they once
did.”
Thompson said DPS feele it has an effective in-
spection program and therefore sees no need to
change it.
He said that, in 1981, only 2 percent of those killed in
highway accidents in Texas -88 out of 4,701 - were in
wrecks involving a defective vehicle.
