THANK YOU
for waiting for delivery of your
NEW CHEVROLET
We are doing our best to see that you
get your new car as quickly as possible
I We want to thank our customers and pro-
spective customers for your friendly
patience while awaiting your new
Chevrolets.

We know it is a hardship to/wait for
needed transportation; but we believe
you will understand that we, and
Chevrolet, are as eager to deliver cars as
you are to obtain them. Unfortunately,
production so far this year is far under
expectations. Chevrolet Motor Division
sums up the situation thus:
“Even though our rate of production
normally exceeds that of any other
manufacturer, we have been able to
build, up to July 1, only 12.4 per cent
as many cars as we had built up to
that date in 1941. Production is still
far below normal, because of fre-
quent shortages of essential mate-
rials and parts. Strike after strike at the
plants of our suppliers has seriously
impeded our progress toward full
production, and the cumulative
effect severely hampers every manu-
facturing and assembly plant. In
June we were able to build only
29.2 per cent as many cars as we
produced in the same month in
1941.”

Remember—Oor CAR-SERVICE is your best CAR-SAVER. Keep your present
car "alive” until you get delivery of your new Chevrolet by bringing it to
us for skilled service now and at regular intervals.
While production is restricted, so—in
proportion—are shipments of cars to us.
As production increases, we are assured
of getting our proportionate share of the
total—and as quickly as cars are received,
we will speed deliveries to our customers.

STATE HEALTH OFFICER’S
WEEKLY NEWS LETTER
Austin — In discussing ’the
possible danger of inflation to
the American way of life. Dr.
George W. Cox, State Health
Officer, has declared that he be-
lieves one phase of this , menace
which should not he overlooked
is the danger of inflation in tlie
incidence of disease.
“Just because we have won a
war is no reason why we should,
allow the disease and death rates
in the country to become, higher
than in recent peacetimes,” Dr.
Cox said. “Indeed, it is an ur-
gent/ reason why we should
sharply reduce these rates am-
ong our pep pie and use every ef-
fort to keep the health levels am-
ong our civilian and military
population at their highest pos-
sible peak.”
The State Health Officer em-
phasized once again, as he has
often done in the past, the ne-
cessity for using the more eas-
ily accessible, common-sense
safeguards of health. Immun-
ization against several of the
more killing diseases is avail-
able to all, at little or no cost.
Such protection should not be
neglected and the person who
allows himself or his family to
suffer from a preventable illness
is, whether he realizes it or not,
actually handicapping the na-
tion’s reconversion effort. An-
other health precaution which
can and should be practiced in
every home and (community is
careful sanitation; clean clothes,
a clean body and a clean home
environments do much to pre-
vent the appearences of illness
in the home and the same sani-
tation practiced throughout the
community will help to insure

the good health of that commun-
ity.
“Good, wholesome, nourishing
foods, home and community san-
itation. and the protection af-
forded by immunization can do

asserted.

A Political
Rumor
Casey’s opponent, in an effort to divert the peoples’ attention from his
failure to give his official record of law enforcement since he has been
Constable, is circulating a rumor that the Constable does not have 'the
same authority to enforce all criminal laws that the Sheriff has.
Article 6889, Revised Civil Statutes of Texas, provides;
“EVERY CONSTABLE MAY EXECUTE ANY PROCESS, CIVIL OR
CRIMINAL, THROUGHOUT HIS COUNTY
The oath of office taken by the Sheriff and "the Constable are exactly the r-
same, word for word, and they both swear to uphold, all the laws of the
United States and of the State.
The REAL ISSUE IN THIS CAMPAIGN is simply which candidate is mak-
ing the best peace officer.
Why doesn’t Casey’s opponent give the voters his record? Can it be that
it will not bear inspection?
