New Map of Texas Completed, It's Free

AUSTIN—It’s new! It’s free!
Hie Texas Highway Department
this week released the big new
1958 Official Highway Travel
Map. Maps may be obtained by
writing the Texas Highway De-
partment, Austin 14, Texas, or
at the Highway District Offices
and Travel Information Bu-
reaus. County tax offices have
map cards available for request-
ing copies of the map.
The Official Highway Travel
Map is used by all state and
governmental agencies in Texas
for determining highway dis-
tances, mileages, zones, and like
information. The same map is
used by Texas tourists seeking
roads to recreational and histor-
ical attractions throughout the
state. The reverse side of the
map reflects in full color some
of the outstanding scenic and
recreational facilities in Texas.
Texas’ new 1958 travel map
is the answer to today’s demand
for more and more travel infor-
mation. The steady growth of
Texas from a state with a pop-
ulation of slightly over seven
million ten years ago to its pres-
ent estimated population of
more than nine million is re-
flected by the information
shown.
The number of cities and
towns indicated on the 1948 map

was 567. Today, there are 1,812
—an increase of 1,245. State j
and U. S. highways have been
increased by 2,026 miles, and:
farm-to-market roads from 620 j
miles to 17,126 miles—a 16,506- ;
mile increase. The map reflects j
a total of 43,292 miles of high- i
ways.
Roadside parks, long cherish-
ed by Texas highway users,
were not shown on the 1958
map. Today, 1,026 roadside
parks are pinpointed as pleas-
ant stopping places. Divided
highways also show a startling
jump in the ten-year period. In
1948 there were 110 miles of
divided roads shown. Now there
are 1,007 miles marked on the
map with the black bands and
red center indicating divided
highway miles.

to assist in dragging of Lake
Kickapoo in search of bodies of
two Jacksboro residents. The

May Fellowship Day
Luncheon Planned
Jacksboro United Church
Women will observe May Fel-
lowship Day with a luncheon on
Thursday, May 1 12 noon in
the Memorial Christian Church,
according to Mrs. Bryon Rose,
program chairman.
The program committee met
April 20 in the home of Mrs.
Rose with Mrs. Allen Brown,
Mrs. J. P. Simpson, and Mrs.
Thos. Cherryhomes present. The
principle speaker for the lunch-
eon will be Mrs. Granville Walk-
er, wife of the pastor of Univer-
sity Christian Church at TCU
who during his student days
served the local Christian
Church for two years. Mrs.
Walker is an outstanding speak-

the Congress also would lose
most of its authority and con-
trol of the Defense Budget and
expenditures.
There is no question but what
there is a real need for reorgan-
ization and consolidation of de-
fense efforts. This is particular-
ly true in the purchasing and
procurement of supplies.
In 1952 Congress passed the
Defense Procurement Act which
was meant to bring about bet-
ter control and standardization
of procurement procedure. This
Law, however, has not accom-
plished the desired result.
For instance, Congressional
investigations in the past have
turned up many wasteful prac-
tices such as the Navy paying
