GETTING THE
MESSAGE
Motor Carriers Want
Stronger DWl Laws
The leadership of the
Texas truck and bus indus-
try has gone on record in
support of legislation to
strengthen laws relating to
driving while intoxicated.
Meeting in August in
Kerrville, the board of
directors of the Texas
Motor Transportation As-
sociation (TMTA) voted
to back efforts in the 68th
session of the Texas Legis-
lature for tougher motor
traffic laws relating to the
arrest, prosecution and
conviction of drunk
drivers.
“As a major highway
user, the Texas truck and
bus industry is deeply con-
cerned with the DWI pro-
blem on our highways and
the increasing threat it
poses to all drivers and
their families," said Robert
Floyd, TMTA vice presi-
dent of public affairs.
“The Department of
Public Safety has deter-
mined that nearly one-
quarter of the state’s traf-
fic fatalities last year were
directly attributable to
drunk driving”, Floyd con-
tinued, “and the DPS fur-
ther estimates that the
proportion would be 50
percent if state law requir-
ed alcohol measurements
from all drivers in fatal
accidents. *
“Motor carriers are ex-
tremely safety conscious
and have long supported
law enforcement agencies
in their efforts to keep
Texas highways safe.

presses the truck and bus
industry’s commitment to
join in the fight against the
increasingly serious pro-
blem of drunk drivers.”
In another motor carrier
effort to combat drunk
driving, four veteran dri-
vers have organized
Truckers Against Drunk
Drivers (TADD). The
group plans a nationwide
campaign to enlist the aid
of all truck drivers. The
four drivers own and oper-
ate their own rigs, which
are leased to Melton Truck
Lines, Inc. of Shreveport,
Louisiana. Duncan McRae
Jr., executive vice presi-
dent of Melton, is a mem-
ber of the TMTA board of
directors.
TMTA represents 900
trucklines, intercity bus
companies and allied in-
dustries operating in
Texas.
Turfgrass
Field Day
Sept. 22
COLLEGE STATION:
New grass varieties, pest
management, water con-
servation and nitrogen ef-.
ficient fertilizers will get
the lion’s share of attention
at the annual Texas Turf-
grass Field Day Septem-
ber 22 at Texas A&M Uni-
versity.
The annual field day is
especially designed for pro-
fessional turfmen respon-
sible for establishing and
maintaining turfs related
to athletic fields, cemeter-
ies, golf courses, institu-
tional grounds, military
grounds, parks, recreation
areas and roadsides and for
those in the lawn care
industry.
Tours of turfgrass re-
search plots will be con-
ducted from 10:15 a.m. to 1
p.m. beginning at the Turf-
grass Field Research Lab-
oratory, said Dr. James
Beard, Texas A&M profes-
sor of turfgrass science and
researcher with the Texas
Agricultural Experiment
Station. Registration will
begin at 9:45 a.m. The lab
is located on Agronomy
Road north of University
Drive at the northwest
corner of the A&M
campus.
The tours will feature
discussions on a host of
topics, including growth
regulators and antitrans-
pirants to conserve water,
new approaches to brown
patch disease control, the
southern mole cricket as a
potential pest, winter in-
jury prevention, growth
regulators for chemical
trimming, slow release ni-
trogen fertilizers and
water use of different
warm-season grasses.
Numerous discussions
also will deal with new
turfgrass varieties, includ-
ing new types of buffalo-
grass, bahiagrass, zoysia-
grass, St. Augustinegrass,
bermudagrass and tall fes-
cue.
A question - and - an-
swer session and problem
diagnosis clinic will begin
at 3 p.m., said Beard.
Texas Agricultural Experi-
ment Station and Texas
Agricultural Extension
Service staff will be on
hand to answer questtons
and to identify specific
grass, weed, disease and
insect problems.

LADIES SOMETIMES
GAMBLE, AND WEAR
THE BREECHES.
We see by an exchange
paper, that a story has
been published in New
York about a certain lady
who was in the habit of
frequenting a Hell in the
lower part of the city, in
disguise,-and who was
said to have lost $1,500 or
$2,000 there. The truth of
the matter was doubted at
the time, but an adven-
ture recently occurred that
tends to confirm the belief
that the fair sex do occa-
sionally, and on the sly,
indulge in the beautiful
passion of gambling. For
some weeks past, a man of
youthful appearance, wear-
ing mustachoes, was to be
seen as an occasional visi-
tor, to a well known house
in Park Row, where he
played with various suc-
cess, but for moderate
stakes. At length, on a
night, a week or two ago,
he tendered a check for
$200 to the banker, and in
an undertone requested
counters. It had been re-
marked that he scarcely
ever spoke but in the same
subdued manner. As he
was recognized a frequent
visitor, and appeared re-
spectable, his request was
at once complied with, and
for a time, fortune seemed
to crown his speculations.
At last, however, luck
turned, and he lost all. His
agitation had been con-
tinually increasing, and on
losing his last counter, he
dropped senseless on the
floor. He was immediately
carried into a private
apartment, where every
humane attention was paid
to him, and proper restor-
atives applied, but he re-
lapsed from one ” fit to
another, and, at last, on un-
bottoning his vest, the man
turned out to be a Woman!
A medical man was sent"
for; and at last the young
woman was restored to
comparative self posses-
sion. Consciousness, how-
ever, only increased her
agitation, for strange to
say, she recognized in the
medical gentleman a friend
both of herself and hus-
band - for she was a
married woman! An ex-
planation took place, and it
was due to state that the
owners of the establish-
ment at once commiserat-
ed the situation of the
unhappy woman, and
without a moment’s hesita-
tion, returned the check,
which was subsequently
admitted to have been
signed with the name of
her husband.

USE OF SUNSCREEN
BEFORE EXERCISING
NOT RECOMMENDED
COLLEGE STATION -
Sunscreens, although they
seem to present no problems
for most people, may do more
to the body than prevent
sunburn, says a Texas A&M
University researcher who
has been testing the effects of
sunscreens on thermal regula-
tion of the body during exer-
cise.
Dr. George Jessup, associ-
ate professor of health and
physical education and chair-
man of the Human Perform-
ance Laboratory, says that
persons choosing to apply sun-
screens before exercising in
hot, dry or hot, humid climates
run the risk of significantly
«■ f **.. •
elevating their skin tempera-
ture.,
Ibis increase in skin tem-
perature causes an early onset
of sweating and as a result
important losses of body fluids
occur that can lead to dehy-
dration.

Properly whipped, whip-
ping cream will double in
volume. The secret is to have
a cold bowl and beaters, cold
whipping cream, and to whip
the cream before adding su-
gar and flavoring.
