county reports 1.48 inches for
the week at the weather station.
Total for the year is 8.95.

to be safer on the highway as
the faster it goes the closer it

The car has been test run at

equipped with roll bars over and
around it.
It has a TV set, ice box,

dream. Mr. Hines was nice
enough to take my family and
me riding in it and let me take
the first pictures as it is still
being tested.
He is testing the car by
driving across the U.S.A. and
visiting relatives.
He has also designed and built
a steam engine that may be
used in automobiles of
tomorrow.
Mr. Hines' father was from
Rotan and his mother was
formerly of Aspermont, so I
guess we can claim him as a
Stonewall County product.
