Texans set a bloody record for deaths on the
State's highways in 1955. Let's not try to break
Hie record in '56.
Proper hand signals for drivers are not only a
matter of courtesy . . . they can well be a matter
of life and death. Learn to signal properly, and
resolve to do it at all times.
If your car is equipped with directional sig-
nals, make sure that they're working properly
and then use them. If it's not, use your good left
arm and make the signals definite and un-
mistakable.
If your memory needs refreshing, study the
simple diagrams above. These are the signs of
life . . . and the life may be yours.
The Battle Against Polio...
. ..Is Still Going On
Once again, as they have for more than twenty
years, Americans are being called upon for fi-
nancial aid in the battle against Polio.
The victory celebration touched off early last
year by the announcement of the Salk vaccine
was somewhat premature . . . but victory is al-
most certainly in sight. The Salk vaccine has al-
ready proved itself remarkably effective . . . and

Buying at Home . . .
. . . Pays Many Dividends
The letter quoted below was written to The
Canyon News a few days ago, and was published
in that newspaper last week as "A reader's edi-
torial."
We think it speaks well for itself . . . and ap-
plies as well to Canadian as to Canyon. We hopé
Mrs. Parker will not object to our reprinting her
message here:
Dear Editor,
At last I have stuck to a New Year's resolution
throughout the year.
The resolution to do all my purchasing of our
family needs in Canyon.
This I have done, although in too many in-
stances I have had to pay for substitutes, how-
ever I expect I will have less of that in the
coming year as 1 expect the merchants I trade
with to anticipate my need.s.
Net Results:
$102.37 savings on fuel and parking car ex-
pense. (This does not include possible driving
violation fines).
My closets are free from clutter of things that
I might have bought at sales, that I did not need,
Hut I would "maybe" use some day.
All my personal bills paid up to date.
Have been able to devote more time to my
family and to civic affairs, AND gradually drop-
ping the two annoying words from my vocabu-
lary (Too Busy).
Sum Total—A happier family.
Sincerely,
Mrs. W. E. Parker.
constant efforts are being made in the labora-
tory to improve it.
This success is due, in a large measure, to the
annual March of Dimes drives through which
American citizens have channeled -millions of
dollars to finance the tedious and expensive re-
search programs which finally produced an ef-
fective vaccine.
The vaccine program itself may need little
further aid from public contributions. Having
been shown the way, American industry may be
expected to take care of its production and dis-
tribution effectively and adequately ... and as
its use becomes widespread, the scourge of polio
may disappear to a major extent from the Amer-
ican scene. A sharp reduction in the 1956 goal
for the March of Dimes is in recognition of this
fact.
But money is still needed . . . and will be
needed for some years to come ... to aid those
victims of polio for whom the Salk vaccine came
too late. Continued treatment . . . and research
to discover some effective treatment ... is need-
ed to aid thousands of victims of previous years.
The March of Dimes is still an important fac-
tor in American life. Dimes and dollars are still
needed . ... in a smaller but no less important
measure ... to oarry on the great work of the
National Foundation for Infantile Paralyaie.
The appeal for funds is being made now, as it
has been made every January for more than two
decades . . . and we are certain that the good
people of Canadian will join the good people of
the rest of the United States once again this
month in doing their share.
Give generously of your money to the volunteer
solicitors who are carrying on the campaign here
... as they are giving generously of their time.

Socialist Norman Thomas...
. . . States Democratic Principle
(From The Industrial News Review)
Organized la"bor has no stouter supporter than
Norman Thomas, the long-time Socialist Party
leader. For that reason, if no other, union heads
and the rank-and-file alike should ponder some-
thing Mr. Thomas said in a recent newspaper
column.
He endorsed the political activities of the great
unions, on the grounds that "so deeply do gov-
ernment actions affect all workers and their fam-
ilies that labor's own organizations in their in-
terests must speak out on social policies."
But then Mr. Thomas added an all-important
qualification: "Wh^t a labor union or federation
has not a right to do is to coerce its members by
ordering them to vote thus or so or face union
discipline. Neither has it a moral right to tax
individuals against their will to support this or
that candidate.
"Morally,* aside from any present legal pro-
vision, labor contributions to political campaigns
should be separately raised by voluntary gifts or
assessments which the dissenter from the union's
endorsement may refuse to pay."
It is equally important, on comparable moral
grounds, that every man should have the right to
work whether he chooses or does not choose to
join a union—and that he should be protected
from coercion by either the union or the em-
ployer.

Nineteen-fifty-six is also an
election year, which reminds us
that unless we leap to pay our
poll taxes before January 31,
we'll do no leaping at the polls
in July and November. Better
drop by the Sheriff's office and
pay your dues to the State of
Texas ahead of the deadline.
A poll tax receipt this year is
going to entitle the holder to
a reserved seat at a couple of
the biggest political shows in
years, from all indications. The
governor's race, which will be
settled at the Democratic pri-
mary in July ... or maybe at
a run-off in August ... is al-
ready shaping up as a real
free-for-all. Reuben Senterfitt
beat the New Year in with his
announcement last Saturday.

nounced officially but has

his defeat two years ago. Price

others are Jockeying for posi-

a field.

And of course the Democrats
and Republicans will hold their
camp meetings in late summer,
prpoaring for the main event in
November. The Presidential race
may be a repeat performance of
that one four years ago ... or it
may feature a complete new cast
of characters. EWTer way it ought
to be something to watch.

Anyhow, don't join the knot-
hole gang outside the fence.
Buy yourself a poll tax receipt
and get into the game.

Another increase in the price
of newsprint (the cost of the
stuff your newspaper is printed
on has more than tripled in re-
cent years) plus the steady
rise in all other costs which
has been going on unchecked
since the war is making a lot
of newspapermen take a sharp
look at their rates. The State
Line Tribune, published at Far-
well, has just announced an
increase in subscription rates,
effective January 1, from $2.50
per year to $4 in Parmer and
adjoining counties, and to $5
elsewhere.
We aren't leading up to an
announcement of an increase in
subscription rates . . . not yet.
For the time being, we intend to
hold subscription rates for The
Record to the present $2.50 and
$3.50 rate; but we wouldn't guar-
antee that we can hold that line
indefinitely. We've kept think-
ing, for several years now, that
there's got to be a ceiling on
these price increases . . . but ap-
parently we haven't reached it
yet.
• * •
We're not trying to scare
anybody into renewing sub-
scriptions for a long term,
either. For several years, we
have refused to accept sub-
scriptions for longer than a
two-year period. A subscription
is a contract to deliver a news-
paper for the period prescribed
. . . and we don't know of
many other businessmen who
would like to guarantee future
deliveries at today's prices for
as much as one year ahead.
• • •
Few newspapers, however, are
increasing subscription rates as
yet. Most editors feel, as we do,
that the nickel newspaper is an
institution which should survive
as long as possible . . . even
though a nickel won't pay for
the actual paper that goes into
most newspapers that you buy.

Our Fglth in Living Jesus
Powers Religion
Christmas is behind us for ®n-
otheriyear. From the light of the
blazing star of Bethlehem we are
soon to enter into the shadowed
places, the dark and terrible
ways which lead to the brightest
light of all—Easter morning and
the Resurrection.
It is this—the Resurrection—
the profound conviction of this
fact in the life of Jesus which
has 'been the motivating power
of Christianity. It is the faith
that Jesus lives, and that He is
leading us onward.
Consider the miracle of Chris-
tianity itself. What less than
conviction that Jesus had risen
and revealed Himself to them
could have arrested the disciples
in their hour of complete des-
pair? What else could have sent
them forth in a new-found faith,
prepared to serve, suffer and if
need be die for the glory of
spiritually carrying on the work
of their King?
Their faith, like their works,
was the evidence of the trans-
formation through which they
passed as they knew that Jesus
lived, and they understood the
words concerning His death and
Resurrection—the words that but
a few weeks before had seemed
so incomprehensible.
Would God that we, also, ex-
perience fully in the days of our
lives the risen Christ as. the
disciples knew Him. Would that
we find the power that these
humble men found through the
Resurrection.
