Delta Kappa Sigma
Chapter Meets
Beta Sigma chapter of the Del-
ta Kappa Gamma society met in
the homemaking department of
Olney High School for their an-
nual back-to-school workshop and
covered dish supper last week.
After enjoying the food and
fellowship the meeting was called
to order by Mrs. Dorothy Hefner.
Reports were given on work ac-
complished and planned at the
two summer meetings held in
Graham
Following the business meeting,
the chairman of the various com-
mittee called their groups togeth-
er to discuss ways to improve
their work for the year.
The regional meeting will be
held in Wichita Falls on Oct. 24
at the Woman's Forum. '
Members present were from
Jacksboro, Graham, New Castle,
Olney and Archer City.
Taxpayers writing to the Inter-
nal Revenue Service or calling
the Internal Revenue Service are
advised to be very careful to use
the same name that appears on
their tax return, by Clarence B.
Dixon, Administrative Officer of
the Wichita Falls office.
The Dallas District office deals
with more than two million tax
payers in the northern half of
Texas. Mr. Dixon explained,
“There are more than 2000 J.
Jo^es alone who filed an income
tax return in the Dallas District
during the past year.
The chances are good that
there are several people with ex-
actly the same name as yours who
have filed a tax return. Thous-
ands of taxpayers move each year
so the Internal Revenue Service
cannot rely upon the address as
a method of identification.
When taxpayers use an initial,
a nickname, or only part of their
name, this complicates matters
and our problem of identifying
the taxpayer becomes greater.”
The Dallas District writes thous
ands of letters each year to tax-
payers to determine whether he
is the J. Jones who used to live
on Main Street in Dallas or the
J. Jones in East Texas or possibly
West Texas.
If the tax people write you for
information they would appreci-
ate your returning a copy of their
letter with your reply. The IRS
letter helps determine which tax-
payer the tax problem belongs to.

THE SUPERLATIVE ’60 CHEVY 1
" Wm'' v m
This is the one that says '60 like no other car. From its clean-thrusting grille to its dapper rear =
deck, there's so much that is new and different about this superlative Chevrolet it stands out C5
from the rest like a fresh-minted coin. And you’ll be just as wide-eyed over what’s inside-the
relaxing roominess, tasteful trim, hushed elegance, all comfortably cradled by Full Coil springs “
at all four wheels. Yet, sumptuous as this new Chevy is, you’ll find new economy of operation, new “
dependability, new longer life. Here, then, we’re confident both you and your budget will joyously
agree, is the nearest to perfection a low-priced car ever came!
—
CO
Here’s the car that introduces
a whole new decade of design
—with so much that’s new
and different the other ones
can only hope to come close.
It’s the superlative ’60 Chev-
rolet—with new space in-
side, new spirit under the
hood, new splendor in
every clean-etched line.
Freshly shaped contours rake
back from the unified new
grille to the jaunty rear deck,
fitted with craftsmanship
you’d expect only on the
most expensive makes. In-
side, there’s room to sprawl
in, room to sit tall in—
generously provided by
Chevy’s sofa-wide seats and
extra margin of hat space.
And there’s even more leg
room for the man in the
middle—thanks to the way
Chevrolet engineers have
shaved down the trans-
mission tunnel.
Out on the road, as Chevy’s
Full Coil ride will persuade
you most gently, there’s not
a car near the price that
comes dose to tne hushed
comfort of this one. And,
adding to your sense of
ailence and solidity are
thicker, newly designed
rubber body mounts that
do an even more efficient job
of filtering out road shock,
tire hum and vibration.
Quiet, quick-responding
power is provided by a
choice of two standard en-
gines—Chevy’s famed Hi-
Thrift 6 and a new Econ-
omy Turbo-Fire V8 that
gets up to 10% more miles
out of a gallon of regular
while delivering greater en-
gine torque at normal speeds.
Chevy’s accent on comfort
and convenience even ex-
tends back to its easier-to-
load (and tremendous)
luggage compartment.
You'll also find a convenient
new parking brake that auto-
matically returns to normal
height after application, a
new clutch linkage that filters
out even the smallest engine
impulses more effectively
than ever and a trim new
two-toning motif that’s avail-
able on all 16 fresh-minted
models.
But, impressive as all this
look in print, there’s
TO
c/>
may
reallj
ly only one way to tell
how near to perfection this
superlative ’60 Chevrolet
actually comes... and that’s
to drop in on your dealer
and dnve one!
