The Livingston Mot Club, always interested In safe driving
' especially among younger drivers, swung its support behind the
r,, M fivtogston High School, there were an estimated 40r/- fewer
ears parked arotind the school after the announcement.
These, facts are proof that there were a large number of local
young people who have been drivtewithcyj a license. The facts
further prove that the young peopteand their parertt* cooperated
fully wifothis new polity .of enforcement as set out by the City.
It is good to see wflHng to faflow foe rifles of safe
and proper driving as set out by the statutes of the State. There
is no doubt in the minds of liw enforcement Officials who are
so familiar with death and destruction in connection wifb traffic
^accidents, that tilts ruling by the city and the oo-ofieratioh of the
drivers and parents wifi result in safer streets and highways in

We commend the City Of Livingston, the youngsters and their
parents for tills fine record of Oo-Ojjeration in a matter which is
vital fo us all.

STATE CAPTIOL

,■ it. By Vera Sanford, Texas Press Association
I*3nT
Chamber Of Cemmerce Pr&ress
The Pofit County Charrfoer of Commerce took a giant step for-
ward recently when it hired a fufi time manager. And, we believe,
the committee assigned the Job of hiring made a wise choice in
Mr. Meryl Harris. Mr. Harris's past experience in working with
non-profit organizations should make him well-qualified for the
job of managing our local Chamber of Commerce.
The Polk County Chamber of Commerce has been without a
full-time manager since 1*966. bitting the past three years, start-
ing fa 1962 under the presidency of Sidney Smith, a drive was
started to provide funds for a ftril-flme manager. This drive
"was maintained by Smith’s successor Moody Jackson, Jr., and has
been carried through the present president’s regime, B. C. Lively,
Jr.
Since 1955, Ingram Pace, has carried the burden of being a
part-time manager for the Chamber of Commerce. Pace has
given countless hours of Ms time and, no doubt, many of his own
dollars for the Chamber of Commerce. He is due a vote of sincere
appreciation from all the citizens /or his unselfish efforts.
We commend the board of directors fold membership Of the
Polk County Chamber of Commette for its foresight in seeing a
need for a full-time manager. We believe iach action deserves
-the fall support of the citizenry.

WATER — Water engineers
from 17 Western States discussed
and swapped ideas on how their
state! ate attacking foe coming
water crisis at the Association of
Western State Engineers conven-
tion >ere.
Marvin C. Nichols of Fort Worth
told the group that foe proposal
Of the U. S. Bureau of reclama-
tion for a canal along the Gull
Coast, to carry surplus waters
from the SaMiie and Nccbes to
water - shy Gulf Coat areas of
South Texas, Should be held up
until the state gets foe money
frqm .foe Legislature to investigate
alternatives. He feels that canals
or pipeline*, carrying surplus East
Texas water to upper points of
Central and South Texas streams,
would be far better. Thus the
water could be used more than
once..
■pis Hill d Amarillo, rejjppi
director of the Bureau of Recla-
mation, said that engineers.cun

refined into ’’people plans” before

tag carried to areas which need it
He believes such transfers of wat-
er should be made by arrange-
ments between river authoritte..,

J. E. Sturrock of Austin, mah-
ager of the Texas Water Conser-
vation Association, told tho\ dele-
gates that by the year 2010, popu-
lation growth may necessitate the
5100.000. 000.000 proposal to move
water from Alaska to supply foe
Southwest United States and
Northwestern Mexico. He warned

poaals to meet that crisis.
