43 PER CENT
OF CARS NEED
SOME REPAIR
Getting early automobile safety
t inspections may u.ean the dif-
ference between t'ife and death.
accordingtoG. C.Morris, execu-
tive secretary of the Highway
Safety Council.
) During the first month of the
j current inspection period, which
will run through April 15, only 4
] per cent of the registered vehicles
} in Texas had been inspected.
"The importance of inspections
has been proven by Department of
Public Safety statistics," Morris
said. "In 195!, before the in-
spection law went into effect,
mechanical defects were a causa-
tive factor in 19 per cent of the
fatal accidents in Texas. Last
year, that figure had been re-
duced to 5 per cent.
"These figures show beyond a
doubt that a person whose car is
in good mechanical condition is
much less l!ikely to be involved in
a fatal accident," Morris said. "A
person who waits until the last
minute to get his car inspected is
taking a dangerous gamble writh
his own life."
Last year. 43 per cent of the
vehicles inspected in Texas need-
ed some adjustments or repair,
and the average cost for such
services was only eighty-eight
cents, according to the Depart-
ment of Public Safety.

Cherokee County
Predicted To Be For
Eisenho wer-N ixon
W. D. Baglcy, Cherokee Coun-
ty Republican Chairman, in an
interview with this paper today,
predicted that the majority of the
Cherokee County votes would be
cast for the Eisenhower-Nixon
ticket. Bagley said that, white
supporters of the Eisenhower
ticket were apprehensive early in
the campaign, the tide had turned
definitely in favor of Eisenhower-
} Nixon. The peak of the Democrat
power was reached some four
weeks ago, according to Bagley.
and the injection of the H-Bomb
and the "end the draft" issues
into the campaign only hastened
j the decline. Said Baglcy, "Ap-
t parently the voters think that
President Eisenhower knows more
about bombs than Adlai."
Referring to a recent statement
attributed to Speaker of the
House, Mr. Sam Rayburn. and
Senate Majority Leader, Lyndon
Johnson, in which they expressed
the view that Texas was safety
j in the Democrat camp, and that
! the presence of Mr. Stevenson for
' a Texas speet-h was not needed,
Baglcy said: "It is my opinion
) that Mr. Sam and Senator John-
son wore taking the on!y way
they could to prevent Mr. Steven-
son from commg to Texas. Astute
politicians both, they knew that a
major speech in Texas by Mr.
Stevenson coutd only revive
memories of the tidelands, about
which Mr. Stevenson does not
seem to be very direct in his
answers. He niiitht aiso be h:ird
pressed to explain why all of the
five senators who came to Texas
to tell us to vote for Adiai-
Kefauver. Gon. Kennedy, Mans-
field, and Monroncy—signed the
petition presented to Attorney
General BrowncH asking him to
jfile suit against Texas to take
back the the tidelands which arc
past the three mite limit."
j WANTED—Nice clean soft rags
. No overalls, jeans or jumpers
! No woolens. Will pay 5c a
j pound at the Herald office.

The foHowmg artictc was dip-
ped from the Jet Gazette, a news-
jtapcrpublisttedatW^liamsAir
Force Base, Arizona, in its issue
of Se))t. 2H. It will be of interest
to Atto people as it concerns one
of our tocal boys. Kenneth Fox, !
son of Mr. and Mrs. S. P. Fox of
this city:
Saturday, September 22 was
rcatty a "day for the kids" at
WtHiams Air Force Base where
more than 2.300 chitdren from
neighboring communities joined
forces with WAFB's youngsters
and "took over."
i'he young "invaders" didn't!
catch the base unprepared though,
thanks to weeks of preparations
spearheaded by local project of- j
ficers and members of the Valley
Ktwanis organizations who work- '
d together in preparing for this
sixth annual observance of "Kids
Day."
On the fiight line, the juniors
were treated to a ground and
aerial show that was definitely
man size. Wittie's Fire Depart-
ment opened the curtain with a
roaring fire which they rapidly
extinguished. Then there were
displays of many of the aircraft
designed to the base.
From 10 untit II a. m.. the
young visitors witnessed an hour-
tong aerial show. The show, or-
ganized and directed by Don H.
Payne featured an aerial dog-
fight between a T-33 and a F-86,
formation flying with four F-86's
and acrobatic ilying by a single
'86'.
The group of four F-86's were
piloted by Captain Payne. Cap-
tain Harry J. Peterson, Captain
Wayne N. Hungerford and 1st Lt.
John H. Ludwig. They demonstra-
ted precision fiying, dive bomb-
