New Slate Highway
Map Now Ready
The new 1659 Official High-
way Travel Map is now available
for distribution by the Texas
Highway Department.
Copies of the “travel encyclo-
pedia” of Texas, as it has been
called, may be obtained by writ-
ing the Texas Highway Depart-
ment Austin 14, or at the high-
way district offices and travel
information bureaus. County tax
offices have map cards available
far requesting copies of the map.
The new map is the answer to
today’s demand for more and
more travel information. The
Steady growth of Texas from a
state with a population of slight-
ly over seven mUlion Just ten
years ago to its present estimat-
ed population of more than nine
million is reflected by the infor-
mation appearing on the 1956
map.
Nine more cities and towns are
shown than on last year’s map,
making a total of 1,821. The in-
creased mUeage in U. S., state,
and farm-to-market roads is
much in evidence. The map re-
flects some 1,600 mUes of mul-
tilane divided highway now
completed in Texas, including
the completed sections of the Na-
tional System of Interstate and
Defense highways located in the
state.
The map now shows approxi-
mately 61 major lakes and re-
servoirs, and Includes countless
livers, creeks, and streams.
Roadside parks, long cherished
as rest stops and picnic areas by
Texans and tourists alike, now
number 1,046 as compared to the,
1,026 shown on last year’s map.!
City route maps are provided
of the state’s 12 largest cities—
Amarillo, Austin, Beaumont,
Corpus Christ!, Dallas, El Paso,
Fort Worth, Houston, Lubbock,
San Antonio, Waco, and Wichita
Falls.
The reverse side of the map,
with a theme of “Texas, Land of
Contrasts,” reflects, in 20 full-
color pictures, some of the out-
THIS INVADER BOAT, built in Giddings, has been delivered to the Bellville Quarterback
along with a Mark 35 Mercury motor and boat trailer and will be exhibited at barbecues and festivi-
ties throughout the Central Texas area during the summer months. The boat was delivered by Wade
Stevenson and son Bob (at center and left, respectively, in the photo) of Giddings, dealers in this
area for Invader boats and Mercury motors. Also pictured is Walter Helwig, president of the Invader
Boat Co. of Giddings, a newly-established industry in that city. —Photo by D. Li

nesday. Officiating at the funeral

as. A section entitled “Facts A-
bout Texas” gives facts and fig-
ures on Texas’ natural resources,

and ranching, terrain features,

The Official Highway Travel

ernmental agencies in the state

tances, mileages, zones, and like
information. The same map is
equally #s useful to tourists
seeking roads leading to good
times in Texas, >

fic safety campaign under the

ters, Mrs. Henry Supak of East

and will end with Labor
This period has been select
the campaign, because it is
ing these months that vacat
travel reaches its peak.
J. O. Murick, TSA’s general
manager, points out, the theme,
“Can YOU Stop in Time,” em-
phasis four basic causes of every
accident.
“A mechanically unsafe vehi-
cle, a roadway hazardous in de-
sign or size, a driver inadequate-
ly equipped for his task or a dri-
ver whose mental and emotional
attitude (often caused by tnpK
fic jams, drinking, fatigue, etc.)
is such that it causes him to AlK
get his normal safe driving ha-
bits.”
In Texas, last year, there ware
2,342 parsons killed and 126<f42
injured in 72,362 traffic acci-
dents. Moat of these occurred be-
cause Someone Could NOT Stop
in Time.
