You can take turns, or one claim it

Now is the time to consult with the

SALESMANSHIP IN OUR EVERY DAY LIFE
In our modern day world with its tremendous produc-
tivity we are geared to salesmanship and accept it in our
every day life without really noticing it. Yet, I wonder
how many of us realize how essential it is to our way of
life and how it helps us to live better and more securely.
Ron Faison, energetic young Chamber of Commerce
President, dropped by the office the other day and really
illustrated to me the value of salesmanship. Ron went
over my insurance program and gave me a complete and
frank appraisal of my insurance needs. He seemed sin-
cerely interested in rendering a service to me by pin-
pointing deficiencies of my present insurance program.
For the first time in months I began to really analyze my
insurance position and to plan constructively for the pro-
vision of my family in any eventuality. Whether I bought
additional insurance or not isn’t particularly important.
The important thing to me was the fact that I am now’bet-
ter informed on insurance and more keenly aware of the
necessity for adequate coverage. I have these benefits
because Mr. Faison took the time to call on me and to
practice salesmanship—truly the main motivating force
of our economic way of life. I would like to sincerely
thank Ronald Faison for his earnest, efficient sales ap-
proach that gave me additional confidence in his fine
company and in its salesmen in general. The next time a
salesman calls on me perhaps I will welcome him a little
more enthusiastically because now I am a little more
aware of just how much our salesmen mean to all of us.

Hagen introduced his bill in the

House Education Committee.
“I’m not so naive as to believe we
could put this over without some sort
of mass support from over the coun-
try,” he said.
Widespread Support
He said he has received a flood of
letters about the idea, most favor-
able.
Support has come,
from newspaper publishers,
tors, and others who said it would
simplify the process of reading and
ease the difficulties of teaching.
Hagen doesn’t have any children
and said he doesn’t know how much
time the average school child spends
on spelling lessons. “But if you could
shorten that time, they could devote
it to other studies,” he said.

Got a telephone for your bedroom, yet?
Nothing tops a bedroom telephone for real luxury liv-
ing. When I’m home using ours, I like to stretch out on
the bed with the phone cradled between my shoulder and
my ear. I can relax and really talk that way.
There are plenty of good, practical reasons for having
a bedroom phone, too. Privacy, for example. And wom-
en often say how reassuring it is to have a phone at their
bedside when they’re alone in the house at night. It’s
much nicer to be able to “reach” to answer instead of hav-
ing to dash to another room.
Here in Whitewright, a bedroom extension costs only
$1.00 a month plus installation. And for a one-time
charge of only $10, you can have your choice of any of the
nine beautiful color telephones. They’re especially smart
for bedrooms.

Questions and Answers About Your_ Indi-

Presented By the Texas Press Association.
Do you contribute to the support of
a dependent, but do not furnish over
one-half of his (or her) support?
Maybe you can claim the depend-
ency credit anyway.
If your dependent can qualify in
all other\ways except that you do not

favorite in the automobile industry’s I then perhaps this will help you.
In cases where two or more per-
sons contribute together more than
50% of the support of an individual
and each could claim the individual
as a dependent except for the fact
that he did not contribute more than
50% of the support, the law permits
one of the contributors to claim the
individual as a dependent provided:
the taxpayer claiming the in-
dividual contributed over
10% of the support, and
each person other than the
taxpayer who contributed
over 10% of the support of
the individual agrees not to
claim the individual as a de-
pendent for any taxable year
beginning in the calender
year 1958.
Many property owners carelessly GAMBLE on an

gladly pay a few dollars more for COMPLETE in-

. AUSTIN.—Sweeping revisions in
criminal proceedings in Texas were
recommended Monday by a state-
wide study group which chastised
the public for taking “monstrous
evils for granted.”
“We are not as sensitive to wrong
or as devoted to the cause of right as
we ought to be,” concluded the Texas
Law Enforcement Study Commission
in its detailed 27-page report.
Steps to allow 16-year-olds to be
tried for felonies, increases in sen-
tences for various crimes and fixing
of sentences by judges instead of
juries in certain cases were a few of
the more than two-dozen recommen-
dations.
Discretionary powers should be
given juvenile courts to refer young-
sters 16 years . old to the district
courts for trial of major crimes, the
report said. The proposal would not
flatly lower the juvenile court age,
now defined as over 10 and under 18
for girls and under 17 for boys.
“Complaint is often heard from
judges, attorneys and the public
alike against the reversal of criminal
cases because of mere legal techni-
calities. A slight mistake in spell-
ing in the indictment or some other
equally trivial discrepancy has been
too frequently the cause for sending
a case back for another trial,” the
commission said in obvious reference
to the State of Criminal Appeals.
The commission proposed that
technical reversals be eliminated un-
less the error was calculated to in-
jure the rights of the defendant.
Also outlined were steps designed
to eliminate up to three chances for
an accused to plead insanity. The
commission questioned whether un-
der present law a defendant may be
I acquitted by. virtue of a jury’s findr-
ing him insane at the time of the
crime and yet not be committed to a
mental hospital.
The commission said if the defend-
ant does not offer competent medical
testimony necessary to commit him
“then none is likely to be offered,
since the state will be presenting tes-
timony designed to prove him sane.
Therefore, in the absence of such tes-
timony can the court legally commit
the defendant to a mental institution
even though the jury finds him in-
sane at the time of the act?”
In the preliminary hearing before
the trial, the law should be changed
to require the jury to determine if
the defendant is sane or insane at
present, not when the act was com-
mitted.
The Shorn Lamb
That mass bleating to be heard this
spring will come from the millions’
of income tax “lambs” to be shorn as
usual. The operation is conducted
by the Internal Revenue Service,
which has just issued its figures on
the clipping of the old year.
The preliminary figures by the IRS
show that 59,817,000 individual in-
come tax returns were filed in 1958
covering $279,231,275,000 in ad-
justed income for 1957, the previous
year. These returns reported a total
liability of- $33,936,888,000. In a
year’s time there were more income
earners making more money than in
the previous year.
The more than 59 million income
tax return makers will undergo the
annual shearing again this spring. If
united, they would make a powerful
pressure group in favor of reduced
federal spending, a balanced budget
and a halt to deficits that impose an
additional penalty of inflation on all
the American people.—Fort Worth

As a formal welcome to a new-
comer in the 1959 line of Chevrolets,
Edwards Chevrolet Co. will hold an
“Open House” in its showroom here,
January 22-24.
The debutant is a Bel Air Sport
Sedan, whose rakish design and rich
appointments promise to make it a |
£ 1■»4- r-x’Uvi 1 /-» i nrli 1 ctrxr’c !
most distinctive series of new pas-I
senger cars.
Although the Bel Air Sport Sedan
has been selected as the star of the
special exhibit, Carl Edwards finds
still another reason for showroom
decorations and ceremonies. The
fact that Chevrolet has only recently
been able to build up a sufficient
stock of display models, he said, gives
the “Open House” a double meaning.
“Because of circumstances beyond
our control, we did not have a nor-
mal variety of body types at the time
of the official announcement of 1959
models last Fall,” he explained. “Now'
we are able to show and demonstrate
models that production delays pre-
viously restricted.”
Introduction of the Bel Air Sport
Sedan, or “four-door hardtop” as it
is more widely known, was prompted
by the enthusiastic public reception
of the 1959 sport sedan in the Impala
series. Dut to the immediate popu-
larity of this styling, the company
decided to make a sport sedan avail-
able at a lower price. The car has a
flat roof with rear window over-
hang. It is two inches lower than the
two Bel Air sedans which originally
comprised the series.
The Edwards Chevrolet Co. “Open
House” will serve to review the fea-
tures of the latest Chevrolets, hailed
as the most excitingly different of
the new model season.
To complement a smart, new ex-
terior design, Chevrolet has incorpo-
rated body and chassis refinements
that assure safer, more comfortable
motoring.
Passenger room has been appre-
ciably increased and visibility height-
ened by the expansion of glass areas.
Appearance has. as well behefitted by
new Acrylic body lacquers, which do
not require polishing for as long as
three years in normal climates.
Brakes, spring suspensions, steer-
ing, automatic transmissions and en-
gines have likewise been advanced.
New in power ranks is a Hi-Thrift
six cylinder that gives up to 10 per-
cent more mileage and usable horse-
power in normal driving ranges.

WASHINGTON. — It will be less
troublesome to spell things right if
Rep. Harlan Hagen (Dem.) of Cali-
fornia has his way.
Hagen has introduced a bill to es-
tablish a National Grammar Com-
mission to reform the spelling of
English words and to publish an of-
ficial U. S. dictionary.
“Our language is in a constant
state of change anyway and we
might as well do it scientifically,” he
said in an interview.
It isn’t that Hagen himself is
poor speller.
“I used to win spelling contests
back in North Dakota where I grew
up,” he said.
It’s just that the “inconsistencies,
vagaries, and vacillations” of spell-
ing are so frustrating, he said.
The idea he is plugging was de-
veloped by Homer W. Wood, publish-
er of The Porterville Daily Reporter
in Hagen’s California district.
Details Lacking
Hagen has no specific recommen-
dations for spelling1 revision. He’d
leave that up to the Grammar Com-
mission. He mentioned such things
as “fotograf” and “thru”—spellings
which he noted are now used by
some newspapers.
“A complete phonetic spelling
looks ridiculous—that isn’t my idea,”
he said. “I contemplate adoption of
a phoneticism that would be com-
