THE BARTLETT TRIBUNE
Bartlett Texas
Final Filing
Deadline Nears For
County Officials
"With the final filing deadline
of February 7th not" to far
away the election fever has
not yet hit Williamson County.
Five county officials complete
Iheir turms in 1972 - or must
stand for election because of
circumstances of their holding
office nt present.
Kirby Vance judge of the
26th District Court completes
a four-year term and must de-
termine whether he will run
again for the office. County At-
torney Norman Manning and
Sheriff Henry Matysek also
reach the end of four-year
terms and must chart their
course.
William Buck was appointed
tax collector and assessor to re-
place Jack Gillum when the lat-
ter resigned. Gillum's term
would have expired this year
bo Buck will probably be seek-
ing a full four-year term when
election time arrives on May 6.
J. R. Owen appointed in
1971 to the newly created of-
fice of District Attorney must
make a decision about running
for the office which becomes
elective at the "time of the next
regular election."
County Commissioners Wes-
ley Johnson of Georgetown and
Itobert Rozacky of Granger will
also complete terms with voters
in their respective precincts on-
ly to vote on those offices.
On a more local level is the
office of constable in this pre-
cinct held by Rudy Sherek
who was appointed to fill out
the term of Nelson Hall at his
death. H. T. Ward has announ-
ced for the position.
City and school elections
will pre-date the primaries.
On the city scene with elec-
tion to be held in April the term
of Mayor George Fowler .will
expire this year.
Aldermen elected for two
year terms who complete their
terms this year are Frank Wil-
liams David Wolf who was
elected in 1971 to fill out the
unexpired term of D. F. Sher-
"wood and Jerry Rabel whose
term remains open at the pre-
sent time due to his resignation
when he moved out of the city
limits.
Holdovers on the council with
another year to serve are E. R.
Goodnight and Franklin Lange.
On the school board Alvis
Bailey and Bob Burns complete
their three-year terms this
year.
The terms of Clarence Fisch-
er and Mrs. Ren Sladovnik will
expire in 1973.
Trustees with two more years
to serve are Leroy Janke Billy

Liberty Mutual
Develops New
Car Bumper
Automotive "engineers 'at Li-
berty Mutual Insurance Co.
haVe developed a unique two-
stage hybrid car bumper" sys-
tem which prevents all but mi-
nor damage in car-to-car colli-
sions at speeds up to 10 mph.
Because this bumper pre-
vents any costly damage to the
car in front impacts of 10 mph
it goes beyond Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard No.
215 effective for 1974 which
only requires that safety-related
equipment remain opera-
tional. The result of more than a year
of testing bumpers the two-
stntre nrototvne uses rubber
vehicle snrinsra and crushable cylinders
at coun- 0f aluminum honeycomb to ab-
ty Mutual's project director for
automotive safety.
Also with this type of bumper
there is much less vehicle
"bounceback" than with spring
bumpers because the honey-
comb absorbs energy. Reducing
"bounceback" means less likli-
hood of whiplash injuries to oc-
cupants of a car struck from the
rear.-'
Lifierty Mutual will not man
ufacture or market its bumper.
The insurer's automotive engi
neers will mako their research
results public by submitting de-
tailed scientific papers to pro-
fessional journals.
By so doing Liberty Engi-
neers hope to contribute to the
effort of reducing the billion
dollar ficure American motor
ists pay iri repair bills every
year jor low speed accidents.
SUPT. R. E. DWIGHT
ATTENDS STATE MEET
Supt. R. E. Dwight attended
the annual School Administra-
tors State Meeting held in Aus-
tin Wednesday.
Tho meeting is conducted! by

for tho purpose of reviewing tho
current problems and also ' to
presdnt future information. '

However vehicle owners the shock of low speed collisions
may go ahead and order theiri below 6 mph without crushing
to
license plates by mail imme
diately.
All that is required is
send the entire renewal ap-
plication the registration fee
and $1 for each vehicle to be
registered to the local county
tax office. License plates will
be returned by mail after re-
gistration begins formally on
February 1.
Vehicle owners should al-
low at least 30 days for pro-
cessing and delivery. The ap-
plication should be sent to the
local county tax office not
to the Texas Highway depart-
ment. License plates can bo ob-
the aluminum honeycomb.
Higher speed impacts cause
mealmetal shear pins to break
allowing the honeycomb to ab-
sorb greater impact energy by
crushing.
The honeycomb if crushed
must bo replaced. The rubber
springs can be used repeatedly.
To replace the honeycomb af-
ter a collision the bumper face
plate must be removed. Tho
repair cost should be about $15
depending on local labor rates.
That represents a considerable
savings over the average re-
pair costs for a 5 mile per hour
collision which is usually more
than $200.
