I960 autos: Reports from De-
troit are that 4 small cars will
be introduced. They will not be
as tiny as some of the European
models: they will seat 6 passen-
gers, have 6 cylinders, produce
90 to 100 horse power. But they
will be lighter, shorter, use less
gas, and take less parking space.
One will mount the engine in the
rear. The trend for standard-
sie cars is also toward smallness
and simplicity. There will be less
trimming, smaller fins, and more
conservative colors.
Water is an important word in Texas. But unlike the weather
about which little can be done, the Rural Electric Cooperatives of
Texas have done a lot about our water. In times of drouth, pumps
powered with co-op electricity have tapped the subterranean table
to bring water to parched fields.
Electric cooperative have provided rvnning water, making tha
washing machine and indoor plumbing as familiar in rural areas
as in the cities.
Cooperative people are active too in water conservation pro-
grams for they know the value of an abundant water supply. But
most important they know the blessings that electricity has brought.
Every drop of water that flows through the pump is a reminder of
the new way of life the rural community enjoys as a result of rural
electrification.

of new levels of V8 compactness
