NEW TEXAS BRAKE LAW:
Changes in the Brake Law,
beginning January 1, 1972,
h,ave caused much confusion
in the minds of farmers, ran-
chers, sportsmen and truckers
during tt»e last few months.
Many citizens want to “up-
date" their vehicles' and it has
been most difficult to deter-
mine exactly what modifica-
tions are necessary to comply
with the law.
I have asked Colonel Wilson
E. Speir, Director of the Texas
Department of Public Safety,
to send an official from ihis
Department to the South Texas
To live in an atmosphere of tranquility among congenial
neighbors would bestow gratification. Neighborhood peace
collectively should be a fundamental principle of ’ife. People
themselves are better equipped to know the needs and solve
the problems of a neighborhood.
Neighborhoods witr opposing views are basically respons-
ible for many of our conflicts. I think the best hope to attain
social stability ts uniformity otf harmonious human environ-
ment emphasizing noise abatement, like barking dogs. Noise
that disturbs the peace and quiet of a neighborhood shou'd be
suppressed. Quietnccs would promote neighborly friendliness.
The cause of peace could be expanded if good people
would establish one peace base in each county or village
around the globe. The bases would be universally true to com-
mand total trust and respect to achieve lasting peace through
mutual effort. There wou d be no such thing as hostile factions
on any base. There is no need for speculative money. The
world peace bases in keeping with moral traditions of the
fatherland could be part of a quiet farm, ranch or estate in
any country where good people can think, meditate and com-
municate with peace-loving people for a better life throughout
the world. The purpoe is widespread exchange of lofty ideas to
help mankind understand one another. The plan also Is a
moral force of responsib e neighbors to help honest representa-
tives of the people to lessen tensions and fear to alleviate our
problems.
It is important to decide the kind of residents preferred
for a particular neighborhood. For example, the younger set
may prefer schools, playgrounds, entertainment facilities, thus
necessitating some noise, while the older set and the con-
valescents may prefer tranquility. Concerned citizens should
unite to protect the integrity of their neighborhoods. You
might ca l it consolidated families for permanent protection.
We urge communication and exchange of opinions with
people in foreign nations who want peace to promote inter-
national political goodwill. The purpose of spreading Straight-
line Neighborhoods around the globe within the law is to
establish a recip-ocal connection t0 benefit mankind. It would
be difficult to overturn universally peaceable neighborhoods
unitel as mutua’ friends throughout the world. We need to
give people a chance to participiate in search for an unbreak-
able bond of trust strong enough to bind true friendship and
avert war.
We believe that many of our nation’s and ou- world’s ills
would be cured by the widestread acceptance of the moral
principles that we advance. These should be cultivated on a
neighborhood basis that can play an important part in our lives.

If you’re an average Texan,
you eat about two dozen eggs
a month, or 290 per year,
which is close but not close
enough to an egg a day. The
egg industry is a $90 million
business: more than two and
a half billion eggs were pro-
duced by Texas’ 13 million
layers last year.
Eggs, besides tasting good,
are good for you. They con-
tain high quality, easily digest-
