Oil Quotas Sag
Lean days are ahead for Tex
as’ top industry — oil.
After three months on an all-
time low producing pattern of
13 days, the Railroad Commis-
sion cut the October production
to 12 days. Daily allowable will
be 2,964,062 barrels.
Major oil buyers at the Com-
mission hearing indicated that
any more production would re-
sult in an oversupply.
For a state heavily dependent
ands of people are abed.
Nearly three thousand cases,
with flu-like symptoms, have
been reported to the State
Health Department. Finding out
down the1 whether it’s Asian flu requires
! special tests. Health Depart-
ment offices are swamped with
specimens and requests for
tests.
Whatever i h e disease, it
meant that football games and
other school activities had to
be called off in a number of
areas.
So far, only a dribble of
Asian flu vaccine has come to
Texas.
Dr. Henry Holle, Health Com-
missioner urges these precau-
tions for the general public:
1. Stay away from crowds.
2. Drink plenty of liquids —
water and fruit juices.
3. Go to bed at the first sign
of symptoms. (Symptoms are
fever, chills, headache, sore
throat and aching back and
limbs.)

faced with fiscal problems, the
oil cut means tough times for
the state budgeters.
More Taxes, Says Board
Even before the oil slash, the
Legislative Budget Board had
some hard facts to share with
Texas taxpayers.
By 1958, says the Board the
average Texan will pay 6.4 cents
of each dollar he earns, in state
taxes. This is compared to 5.3
cents per dollar in ’57.
It’s the inveitable result of a
billion-dollar-a-year budget, says
Lt. F. M. Briggs of Washing- the fiscal experts. They attrib-

As to paying for it, the Board
says “All taxes ultimately come
from the individual. There’s no
one else to pay them.”

YEAR'S BIGGEST SAVINGS I

Previous prices topple to brand-new end-of-season lows.
A years-ahead Plymouth was never so inexpensive. And
remember, too—your present car will never again be
worth as much in trade as it is right at this foment,
during the Plymouth Deal-Away.
2 THE CAR THAT WILL STAY NEWI
You keep right on saving . . . because Plymouth is the
only new car that’s going to stay new. One look at that
years-ahead Flight-Sweep Styling: one test of satin-
smooth Torsion-Aire Ride is convincing proof. And that
means your new Plymouth is going to be worth more-
far more—when trade-in time finally rolls around.
ONLY PLYMOUTH GIVES YOU
ALL THESE FEATURES NOW I
• Flight-Sweep Styling... the new shape of motion
• Torsion-Aire Ride... tames the roughest road!
• Double-Header lights... increased safety
• Push-Button TorqueFlite... optional on all models
• Directional Stabilizer Fins... safer travel at all speeds
• Dozens more... see for yourself with a test drive!
You'll be proud of the deal...prouder still of the car!
