How to send
your baby to college
for $9§2 a week
A good college can cost as
much aa $65 a week now.
But, the zarne fine education
can be bought with much less
financial strain If you start
putting $0.60 a week into US.
Savings Bonds. In a month
you can buy a $37.50 Bond.
Keep it up until your baby
is ready for college and you’ll
have enough In Bonds to lend
him on hu way.
The beat part o< it is that
about one-fourth of your total
comes from the interest on
your money. It’s like getting
a year of college free.
Other advantages of U.S.
Savings Bonds
• You can save automatically
with the Payroll Savings
Plan. • You now get 3%%
interest to maturity (Now
every Savings Bond you own
— old or new — earns Vi%
more than ever before). • You
invest without risk under a
US. Government guarantee.
Your money can’t be lost or
stolen. • You can get your
money, with interest, any-
time you want it. • You save
more than money — you're
helping your Government
pay for peace.
Here's how you can reach your savings goal
with US. Savings Bonds

DPS Gets Ready For
‘Operation Motorcide’
Three times every year,
“Operation Motorcide,” the
official count of holiday traf-
fic deaths on Texas city
streets, country roads and
main highways, calls for un-
usual activity on the part of
the Texas Department of
Public Safety, the Texas
Highway Patrol and local law
enforcement agencies.
One of these special occa-
sions is the annual 72-hour
Labor Day holiday, the last
long holiday of the summer,
and the DPS has been the j
keystone of a State-wide spe-
cial-emphasis program to re-|
duce traffic crashes and hold|
down traffic deaths. It is
joined each Laboi Day by city
and county law enforcement
agencies throughout Texas.
Governor Price Daniel,
again this year, has asked
every city chief of police and
every county sheriff to put as
many men as possible on the
streets and highways in order
to get holiday traffic viola-
tors “off the highways and
Into the courts.” Col. Homer
Garrison, Jr„ director of the
DPS. has announced that 150
uniformed patrolmen from
other DPS services will join
the regular Highway Patrol
in its holiday safety cam-
paign.
“Operation Motorcide” re-
sults in special police atten-
tion to the two types of viola-
tions which result in most
Texas traffic fatalities—
speeding and driving while
intoxicated. During those 72
hours of the Labor Day holi-
day, from 12:01 A. M„ Satur-
day, Sept. 1, to 11:59 P. M.,
Monday, Sept. 3, more law
enforcement officers will be
on the highways and streets
than usual. They will give
close attention to the two
major types of violations, but
they will also work at places
where heavy traffic concen-
tration Is known or expected
to occur and at places where
accident-frequency has been
abnormally high.
"This special type of law
enforcement,” Daniel said,
“has produced excellent re-
sults In numerous holidays
during the past five years.
Last year, on Labor Day, It
helped reduce the traffic toll
from an expected loss of 30
lives to 21 throughout Texas.
And that was the first time
in years that we had been
able to reduce the Labor Day
collision violence. Good law
enforcement and widespread
public education have com-
bined to bring about excellent
understanding and coopera-
tion on the part of most of
our five million Texas driv-
ers.”
The Department of Public
Safety again this year esti-
mates that 30 persons will die
In Texas traffic during the
Labor Day holiday, but the
same massive public educa-
tion campaign is under way
throughout Texas and the
same effective law enforce-
ment program will be under-
taken again to try to hold
traffic deaths well below the
estimate.
Throughout the holiday
period, Texas radio and TV;
stations and newspapers will
frequently publicize official
DPS crash and fatality fig-
ures to maintain a high de-,
gree of public awareness of
traffic dangers. Scores of
Texas Junior Chamber of
Commerce chapters will offer
free coffee and cold drinks at
highway "rest stops”
throughout Texas. And Texas
motorists will be asked, al-
most continuously, by Texas
radio stations to drive with
headlights burning in day-
time as a signal that they are
driving safely and legally.
The "Drive Lighted and
Live!" campaign will also re-
mind other drivers of the
same thing.
Daniel says he has “high
' hopes that the coordination
I of this State effort and the
cooperation between Texas
drivers and Texas law en-
forcement officers will result
in one great achievement —
greater safety on our high-
ways and much less sorrow
in our homes.”
