There’s no use being a pessimist, but our business is to see
that families are prepared to take up the shock of unforeseen
loss and damage ... to make sure that insurance dollars are
spent wisely. Our companies stand back of us with a reputa-
tion for prompt, just dealings. We think of insurance in terms
of protection and peace-of-mind. We have been able to help
many families weather a crisis and avoid financial tragedy.
We would like to help you. Will you let us?
The man was being interviewed

“I’m sure our readers would like to

A hypochondriac told his doctor in
great alarm that he was sure he had
a fatal liver disease.
“Nonsense!” protested the doctor..
“You would never know if you had
the disease or not. With that ail-

kind.”
“I know,” gasped the patient. “My
symptoms exactly!”
No one ever turned in a fire alarm and said to himself:
knew this was going to happen to me.” That’s the strange
thing about fires and robberies and accidents—you think of
them as things that happen to somebody else.

The young executive had just re-
turned to his office, looking tanned
and rested. When his secretary
asked him about his vacation, he an-
swered, “Well, a friend of mine in-
vited me up to his lodge—a quiet, se-
cluded place away from everything—
no night life, no parties, no wom-
en. . . .”
“Did you enjoy yourself?” she then
asked.
“Who went?”

COLLEGE STATION. — Wheat
producers will determine whether or
not wheat marketing quotas will be
in effect on the 1961 wheat crop on
August 24.
“The decision farmers make is ex-
tremely important to them and to the
rest of the nation not only for 1962
but also for many years to come,”
said Secretary of Agriculture Orville
L. Freeman when he announced the
referendum date. “The program
available with quotas in effect would
be far different from that which
could be operated without quotas,”
he added.
If two-thirds of the referendum
voters favor quotas, cooperators will
be eligible for full 1962 wheat price
support. Although the level of sup-
port has not definitely been de-
termined, it will be higher than the
present level of $1.79 per bushel if
proposed legislation now before Con-
gress becomes law. At a recent press
conference, Secretary Freeman said
that the national average support
for wheat would likely be in the
neighborhood of $2.00 per bushel.
If farmers - decide in the referen-
dum against quotas, there will be no
limit on marketings, price support
would be at 50 percent of parity
(wheat parity is now $2.37 per bush-
el) and would be available to those
farmers who plant within their acre-
age allotments.
On May 12, Secretary Freeman
proclaimed marketing quotas and a
national acreage allotment of 55
million acres for the 1962 wheat crop
on the basis of estimated supplies
and utilization of wheat. At that
time he deferred setting the date for
the referendum pending action to
provide an improved wheat program
for next year’s crop.
“Though action has not been com-
pleted on a new program,” the Sec-
retary explained, “it seems desirable
to now set a date for the referendum
on 1962 marketing quotas in order
that all producers may be appraised
of the voting time. Under legisla-
tion now being considered, stocks of
wheat would probably be reduced
by 100 million bushels rather than
increased by that amount if changes
are not made. This would result in
savings to the Government on this
crop of $50 million in the first crop
year, and in the period before new
stocks could be disposed of at pres-
ent rates the savings on this one crop
would amount to $258 million.”
A country parson was preaching
fervently against all sins, ranging
from murder to crap shooting. A
devout old lady rocked and swayed
in her pew, murmuring: “Amen,
amen,” at each prohibition. When
the parson started on the subject of
snuff dipping, the old lady sat bolt
upright and muttered to herself,
“Now he’s stopped preaching and
took to meddling.”

privilege to have met you. I won-
der if you would answer a question
for me. Why is it that every time I
bend down, I get a cramp in my left
leg?”
The doctor smiled and gently in-
formed her, “I’m sorry, but I’m not
that kind of a doctor. I happen to be
a doctor of economics.”
The lady nodded understandingly.
“In that case,” she said, “Doctor, in
view of the Supreme Court decision
in the DuPont action should I sell my
General Motors stock?”
AUSTIN.—Atty. Gen. Will Wilson
says that baseball and football games
are not subject to the state’s admis-
sion tax, but that tickets to horse
races are.
Comptroller Robert S. Calvert re-
quested the opinion.
An admission tax is levied on
tickets to certain types of events and
places by the state. Included are
motion pictures, operas, horse racing,
dog racing, motorcycle racing, auto-
mobile racing, dance halls, night
clubs, skating rinks, “and any and all
other like places of amusements,
contests and exhibitions.”
The statute, the attorney general
said, had to be strictly construed, and
the clause “like places” meant those
of the same nature.
Horse racing, since it is specified,
is subject, but none of the other
things mentioned in the comptrol-
ler’s request is.
Admission asked about by the
comptroller included Longhorn Cav-
erns, athletic events not part of
school programs, rodeos, private
swimming pools or bathing beaches,
fishing piers, green fees
courses, horse races and
shows.
“Grand Coulee,” yelled the devout

DETROIT, Mich.—Do you know
how much it costs you to own and
operate a car?
For some people it may be their
largest single expense. For many
others it is second only to food and
housing.
America’s 60 million car owners
spend more than 60 billion dollars
annually buying cars, paying taxes
on them, buying the gas, parts and
accessories it takes to run them and
the insurance.
The American Automobile Asso-
ciation has put together some facts
and figures to help figure just what
that car costs you.
First of all there are two types of
costs—running costs and fixed costs.
The running costs vary with how
many miles you drive and they in-
clude gas and oil, tires and mainte-
nance. Fixed costs are fairly stand-
ard even if you leave your car in the
garage for days at a time. They in-
clude insurance, licenses, taxes and
depreciation.
Depreciation is the biggest single
cost and the hardest to figure, espe-
cially for owners of new or recent
model cars.
Following is a breakdown of the
national average cost figures
puted by Runzheimer & Co. for a
1960 Chevrolet, 8-cylinder Bel Air
4-door sedan:
Variable Costs Average Per Mile
Gas and Oil __________________________2.62c
Maintenance ___________________________ .79c
Tires _____________________________________ .49c
Total __________________________________3.90c
Fixed Costs Annually
Fire and Theft Insurance
Property and Damage and
Liability ($25,000 and $50,000)
____________________________________ $109.76
License and Registration _______ 22.40
Depreciation ______________________ 646.00
Total __________________________________ 808.54
(or $2.21 per day)
Thus, the company says, for an
average motorist driving 10,000 miles
a year the variable costs figure to
$390, the fixed costs to $808.54 and
the total costs to $1,198.54, or 12c
per mile.
Runzheimer says that for mileage
in excess of 18,000 annually, an ad-
ditional depreciation allowance of
$14.50 per thousand should be added
to the fixed costs. This would mean
that a car driven twice as much as
average, or 20,000 miles, would cost
$1,617.54 a year or 8.1c a mile.
You may obtain a copy from your
local registrar, county clerk, or from
the Section on Records and Statis-
tics, Texas State Department of
Health, 410 East 5th Street, Austin.
Send one dollar with the name of
the child, his or her date of birth,
place of birth, father’s name, and
mother’s maiden name.
It would be a good idea to get a
copy of your youngster’s birth record
as soon as possible to avoid the last
minute rush.

Big Bill.”
“Well, why not?”
“College nicknames usually stick

AUSTIN.—It may seem early, but
school is just around the corner and
parents with children entering for
the first time should begin preparing
right now.
The right preparation for those
first school days is vital to the fu-
ture satisfaction and adjustment of
your child to his new environment.
If he has an older brother or sis-
ter, the task will be easier. But
there are many steps for getting
ready for school which should be
taken before September.
Some effort should be made to
make it clear to the child that he will
be on his own—without Mom or Dad
there to watch over him all the time
—a good while before that first day
of school.
Clothing should be given much
thought. Check the habits of your
local school and find out what is the
predominant mode of dress. If all
the boys wear long pants, by all
means make sure your youngster has
them, too.
Make sure everything is large
enough, but not baggy or his class-
mates will make fun of him.
Proper nutrition is very impor-
tant. When school starts, allow
enough time in the morning for a
wholesome breakfast. A good break-
fast includes citrus fruit or juice,
milk, whole grain cereal or bread,
eggs or bacon or both.
Lunch and dinner should be leis-
urely and pleasant, too. The new
adventure of school is pretty fast
paced, but mealtime offers an op-
portunity for the family to pause and
enjoy being together.
Now is the time to check your
school’s requirements regarding'vac-
cinations or other health measures
and take care of them well in ad-
vance.
Also, many Texas school districts
require proof of age for first year
students in the form of a
birth certificate.
Some Yolk
Bob was visiting a friend who’
wanted Bob to meet an Indian with,
a remarkable memory. Bob asked,
the Indian what he had for breakfast
July 12, 1949.
“Eggs,” replied the Indian.”
“Bah!” said Bob. “Everybody has-
eggs for breakfast.”
Two years later, Bob saw the
same Indian. Bob raised his hand,
and said, “How.”
“Scrambled,” replied the Indian.
