THE COMING TRAFFIC DELUGE
Texas is about to be "snowed!
under’- with traffic and thia
t’’OUgfif is stifling any urge to
celebrate, among the State s high-
way officials, as Texas observed!
National Highway Week, May 21-27.
See sponsore ad
Instead, Highway Week is occa-
sion for apprehension rather than
elation among those in the highway
held. Texas has been undergoing
a fantastic growth in motor vehi-
cles and if the statistics continue
the trend established in the past,
the State may suddenly be faced,
with the most terrific tarffic jam in
history
Texas reached the ono million
mark in motor vehicles in 192(3. It
took 21 years to reach the second,
million, in 1947. During the next
decade the number jumped to four
million and from 1957 to date Tex-
as added alomst another million.
The statistical growth rate re-
veals the chilling fact that instead
of needing 21 years to gain a mil-
lion vehicles, fast-expanding Tex- ■
as can now do it in three years.
Translated into population terms,
if the Texas population had. groxvn.
nt the same rate as motor vehicle
groxvth, the State would now have
about 20 million people—or more1
than twice its present population.
Under present financing, the Tex-
as highway network ‘ < annot begin
to keep pace with the "motor vehi-
cle explosion.” More than one-third
of the total State-maintained high-
xvay mileage in Texas is already
Obsolete—or about to become so—
by modern traffic standards.
The dilema faced by highway of-
fields caused State Highway Engi-
neer D. C. Greer to term Highway
week “not. en oc-asion ' to brag
on what we have done, but to focus
attention on the tremendous
we must face in the future.”

I WAS TELLIN- THE fellers at
the S & S bench the sad news
about President Kennedy arid the
piano md it was agrer d by ail that
the Congress ought to order that
piano took out of the White House
and put in. Speaker Sam'Rayburn’s
tarn. And one filler popped up
and allowed as how a little piano
music might help ole Sam's cows
give that Grade-A milk you're
supposed to got from contented
cows. And another feller inter-
rupted the session at ;hat point to
claim there ain’t nothin’ to this
contented cow business. Said cows
is cows and milk is milk and the
main thing is to keep the fellers
rn’lkin' 'em contented. But even
this feller admitted the country
vould be a heap safer with that
White House piano in Sam's barn.

BUT SPEAKING OF ole Mr.
Sam, President Kennedy, T and
stuff though, this "Youth Corps"
the President’s workin’ up is in
reality a re-run version of the
late President Roosevelt’s PWA
There was a reason for the latter,
tack in the depression '30s when
the country was on its knees and
expected FDR to do something,
but now this country's earnings Is
the highest in the history of Amer-
ica; however, its true there is
some unemployment, hut we al-
ways have some fellers that don’t
like work, if they can get an un-
< mployment check. But anyway,
four years from now, when K runs
f'.r re election, them tellers xvill be
< iigitile to vote. And eight years
from now, if here is anything to
tile report that Brother Bobby
wants to go to the White House,
