Veterans Officer
Urges Support Of
Amendment No. 5
J. E.Hamittun. Veterans Coun-
ty Scrvicc Officer, urges support
of Amendment No. 3 Concerning
the amendment Mr. Hamilton has
the following to say:
"Tile proposed Constitutional
Amendment to the Veteran? Land
Board should, in our opinion, re-
ceive the whole-hearted support
of every veteran as well as every
other citizen in Texas.
We would like to point out that
16,960 veterans have purchased
land under the Veterans Land
Board; that 784 have paid their
accounts in full and in spite of
the money that was stolen by a
previous administration. the Land
Board now shows a profit of
S2.3f)7,872.!5 as of August 31. 1956.
By the end of the paying period
the profit is calculated to exceed
S25.000.000.00.
For the purpose of acquainting
the people of your communities
with the advantage^ of the Vet-
eran'' Land Board, all veterans
should contact as many as possible
and urge them to read carefully
the Constitutional Amendment
; which will be No 5 on the ballot.
Toll your friends what is good
about the Veteran's Land Board
o they wtll be in position to vote
intelligently on this matter at the
November ejection.
Earl Rudder, Chairman of the
Veteran'n Land Board, states "that
unles- the Constitutional Amend-
ment relative to the Veteran's
Land Board funds is passed in the
Xovember election of this year, it
!s not likely that a large number
of our waiting list of veterans will
be able to participtae in this pro-
gram."

Tex Says Hie s Expert
But He 3e!ieve^ 5ke !s
The other night a bunch of us
were sitting around in the drug
store after the font! all game,
drinkirg coffee and talking. You
know how it is after a game in a
smalltown, especially i-.fter the
home team los s. Nearly every
man in the crowd had a theory as
to why we didn't win the game.
Most of them, of course, blamed
the coach. I couldn't help remem-
bering that before we consolidated
the county schools we didn't even
have enough boys to make up a
football team. And these same
football experts who were saying
what Rockne or Bud Wilkinson
would have done, up until a few
years ago they didn't know a foot-
ball from a watermelon.
But that's the way it is in a
smalt town (and in big ones, too,
! understand). 1 guess there's no
real harm done, although some-
times it's pretty rough on the
coach.
I guess we have a right, in this
free country, to be self-appointed
experts in any line we want to
pick out. It seems to me that most
people choose either football or
politics.
Take this presidential election
coming up next Tue-Jay: Buring
the last few weeks I have heard
so many stories and theories from
so many different political experts
that I nearly get confused some-
times. I have to stop and think
that the fellow who is talking
probably doesn't know any more
about it than I do, and that helps
me keep straightened out.
In fact. I guess I have had my
mind made up all along. To make
no bones about it, I like Ike.
He's a man you can always look
up to and respect—the kind of
I man you'd be proud to point out
to any person, from any country
jonthefaccofthegiohe, andsay:
"That's our President!".
About Adlai, now, I'm not so
sure. Of course, if he was elected,
he would be my President, too,
and I would hope he'd do a lot
better than most people around
here seem to think he would.
This is something I don't think
we need to worry about, because
from all I can hear and read, Ike
is going to win it again.
It seems to me that if Adlai
ever had a chance around here, he
threw it away when he came out
with that H-bomb business. Now,
the folks in our town don't know-
much about H-bombs, except that
they don't want any personal
dealings with them. Our scientific
knowledge of H-bombs is about
on a par with our football knowl-
edge, I reckon. But we do know
one thing: We don't want some
mtsguided, inexperienced fellow
fooling around with our national
defense. When it comes to trust-
ing what Bulganin savs or what
Ktsenhower says, I'll take Ike. So
wtll the rest of the country, if I
don't miss my guess.
Just before we broke up the
other night Doc Brown came into
the drug store, and somebody
asked him: "Hey, Doc. how's Ike
doin'?" (Doc's a big Eisenhower
man.) Doc said: "Well, it's a
busy campaign for the medical
profession. Last week Ike went
and got his heart examined; and
I understand that this week Adlai
ts going to get his head exam-
ined."

FALL MEANS
HAPPY TIMES FOR
MOST TEXANS
Austin.—"The falling !eaves of
red and brown" mean happy times
for most Texans. Football, !
Thanksgiving, deer season and j
relief from hot summer days are
on the Texas scene.
But fall also means shorter day-
and longer hours of darkness. The
sun sets earlier and twilight be-
gins between five and six o'clock
Motorists beware.
Reports made to the Depart-
ment of Health's Vital St.-Ustic-
Division show over h.. :
traffic deaths occur from tug!''
accidents, even though less dnv-
) ing is done at nigh: '..tan during
I daylight hours. About one-thh 'i
'of pedestrian traffic deat - o;cu:
! between 3 and 8 p. m.
Dusk is considered the most
[hazardous time of day :<othfu
: motorists and for pedestrians
There is too m'-ch daylight for
automobile and trt-t lights to be
effective, and the:<. is not enough
j daylight to see e early.
The early rr..rning hours of
j winter present .e same hazard,
^but the fatigue t..ctor is much
higher for evening driving.
! Everyone is fresh and wide a ;.k<-
in the mornings, but may be ttred
and not so careful at the end of a
iong day.
For the next six mot.thsv' t)
have a greater chance than eve-r
'of being forced to drive af'ei
dark. In addition, rain and other
[poor road conditions increase dur-
ing those months.
Pedestrians ate mainly respon-
sible for their own safety whon
darkness fails, because drivers
cannot see them esaily. They
-itould wear light colored clothing
and always walk facing oncoming
traffic.
F .rmotonsts, the first traffic
satety measure should be to re-
duce your speed at dusk. In Tex-
. a.-, the night speed limit is 55
miles per hour as compared to 60
tm the daylight hours. Darkness
presents a new set of conditions
demanding that you drive more
! slowly.
The cardinal rule for night
driving is never drive so fast that
you cannot stop within the area
illuminated by your headlights.
Always be alert for pedestrians or
animals which might dart out in-
to traffic at any time.
Turn your driving—not parking
ligi.ts on at the first hint of dark-
ness. You may be able to see. but
the other fellow may need your
lights to identify you before you
actually need themto sec the road.
Dim your lights when ap-
proaching a car from behind as
well as for oncoming traffic. In
the eily. do not use bright lights
