That's a 6301 medium-duty Chev-
rolet powered by a 2H3-eu -in. VS
But there's sure nothing medium-
duty about the load Mr. j l.
Blankinship, Arkansas lopcing
contractor, says both of his
torsion-spring 6301's “move along
at 40 to 50 miles per hour with
55.000 pounds gross weight and
maintain a 5-trip-a-day schedule
with no trouble at all ’’ Figure the
money you save when you’ve got
a medium-duty truck that can
cover 30,000 Ihu k-eountry miles a
year u ith a high-tonnage load!
We’ve never seen anything like the
amount of praise truck owners are
heaping on Chevy’s new torsion
.spring suspension. Owners like the
fact the truck handles a whole lot
easier, can move faster off the road
without treating the driver to death
and shaking loose all the sheet metal
They like the idea of extra thousands
of miles before trade-in! . . . Drive
a '60 Chevy iust once. It’s a whole
new experience.

mal statement regarding his cand-
idacy
“I was born at Embeerson, in
Lamar County, Texas, in 1920,
tne sort of a school teacher who
has just recently been retired by
the State after serving over thirty
years as Prole .or of Mathema-
tic .11 Texas A&M College. My
parent*, Mr and Mrs T R. Nel-
son, still live in Br.van, Texas.
After graduating from Bryan,
Texas, high choul. I enrolled in
Baylor t.’mver it., Waco, Texas,
and received two degrees from
that I'niver ity, one of which, my
law degree, v.. awarded me with
honors
' Although (Inferred from the
drift, I enlisted m the Navy
hortly after Pearl Harbor was
bombed, and served until honor-
ably discharged after the conclus-
ion of the war 7 .vo .ears of this
service was in the Pacific Combat
/one engaging in the amphibious
assault landing.- on Japanese held

"My wife and I. with our three
sons, live in Cameron. I am a

“In 1954 the people of Milam
county elected me their County
Attorney, and four years ago vot-
ed me a .second tVrm in that office
over two opponents without a run-
off I have tried to show my
ippreciation to them by faithfully
sons, regardless of their
! or financial standing. My active

ticing out of the offices occupied
by the late Mr J W; Garner be-
fore his retirement from law* prac-
tice, and my trial experience as a
I prosecutor before several judges
