Lake Texoma draws a crowd
on almost any given weekend
around this time ot year, out
Memorial Day weekend visi-
tors were scarce as hen’s
teeth. Not many old-timers a-
round these parts can remem-
ber the type of weather trial
prevailed over *he past week-
end, occurring this late in the
year.
A lot of gasoline went up
in smoke during the three-day
holiday, but instead of oeing
burned in boat engines towing
happy-go-lucky skiers over the
lake, it was burned in automo-
biles by would-be lake visitors
who found the weather a bit
too nippy to stick it out over
the three day period. Several
left Saturday during the cold
rain; some returned later in
the afternoon after indications
of clearing, and on informa-
tion from the weather man,
who indicated it would clear
Saturday night. It didn't. Sun-
day morning some of Tne die-
hards loaded up and left the
camping areas in a inunder-
storm.
Haskell Willacy over at die
money-factory said he even
tried to ski a little during the
weekend, but got wet in the
rain and gave it up. That’s
the trouble with skiing in the
rain — you’re bound to get
, wet!
Anyway, those lucky enough
to get a Friday or Monday
holiday were luckier than a
lot of us — our union contract
didn’t call for the holiday.

The notoriety of the Amer-
ican. automobile for planned
obsolescence is almost equall-
ed by its notoriety for unplan-
ned fragility, as anyone who
has ever been shocked by a
' repair bill knows.
Safety crusades have promp-
ted congressional sanctions and
decisions in Detroit have add-
ed numerous devices to the
newer cars to protect driver
and passengers against harm.
But little if any thing has been
done to protect the family
chariot itself from the wrink-
les, guoges, dents, and more
serious inflictions sustained on
the nation’s highways and by-
ways.
Last year’s cars, despite
their galloping horsepower,
were as brittle as motorists
have grudgingly accepted them
to be. Studies showed that Die
automobile sustained heavy
damage in collisions even at
the seeming snail’s pace of
five miles per Hour.
The automotive industry and
perhaps even more so, the in-
surance industry, should be
bothered. But a forthcoming
study of 1971 model cars by
the Insurance Institute for
Highway Safety will show that
this year’s cars are just as
delicate as last year’s.
If this vulnerability were
translated into needless costs,
which are reflected in higher
and higher insurance premi-
ums, throughout the country,
