THE ALTO HERALD, ALTO. TEXAS, JANUARY 21, 1960
JOHN DOWDY'S
NEWSLETTER
From Washington, D. C.
Dear Friends:
< As the new year got under way,
iwe returned to Washington for the
second session of the 86th Con-
gress. As this session unfolds. f
hvili attempt in these iettets. as in
the past, to bring to your attention
the happenings in Congress
stripped of the "political"
trappings in which they often ate
enrobed.
Because of last year's tengthy
(session, I did not get to sec as
tmany of you as I wo'.ild [iked, hut
I was abic to visit in each of our
thirteen counties. As aiways, I
invite your counsci on iegisiative
matters, as your advice enables
me to better serve as your Con-
gressman and to give you the kind
of representation you want and de-
serve.
At the beginning of a New Year,
we always wonder what it wiH
have in store for us. President
Eisenhower, in his State of the
Union Message, has given us some-
thing of the forecast he and hig
advisors are making. His message
indicates that he and the Russian}
Premier,Khrushchev, seem to b«
committed to substituting "good-
wiii" tours for sword-rattiing. In-
ternationa] matters, for some time
to come, wiii be determined by
the success or faiiure of th '<
undertaking.
The New Year shouid bring us:
new hope and new confidence ir
the principles which guarantee
American liberties. Those princi-
pies are embedded in the Bible and
the United States Constitution.
When our forefathers rebeited.
against the British Crown and won
freedom for themseives and for
us, they a trendy had the Bibte, but'
they fe!t a need for a protection
against power-hungry men, so the
Constitution was devised aivl
dopted to furnish that protection,
against any person who wouid de <
stroy the freedoms thus won.

heritage bequeathed to us as con-
tained in the Bibie and in the
Constitution, and as long as we
teach our children the great prin-
ciples set forth in both, just that

have confidence that our freedom
will be successfuliy defended.

are proud of them for it.

vour many kindnesses to us, and
to extend to you and yours our
very best wishes for a Happy and
'most Prosperous New Year.

BECAUSE THEY
WORK MORE
Chevy's new torsion springs and Sturdi-Bitt design
are changing everybody's ideas about how much
work a truck can do. Last year's scheduies are
out—Chevrotet trucks ride faster over the rough
runs to get in more trips a day! Big repair bi!!s
are no tonger a probiem—Chevrotet trucks soak
up punishment that means downtime to other
makes! And trade-in time's put off for extra
thousands of mites—'60 Chevrotet trucks stay
new tike never before!
Hew Do!!ar-Saving Prices
Step-Vans, 4-Wheel Drives, many
light-duty models with automatic
transmissions — aU are lower
priced. Prices have also been
reduced on all optional V8'a.
Mew Torsion-Spring Suspension
Eliminates I-beam shimmy and
wheet fight! With torsion
springs up front there's a
brand-new, smoother, easier
handling fee! behind the wheel.
New rear suspensions include
wide-based coil springs in most
tight-duty modets; tougher
variable-rate leaf springs in
medium- and heavy-duty modets.
Etectronicatty Baianced Wheets
Front wheets and tires are bal-
anced at the factory. Helps make
that new ride revolutionary!
New Cabs—Wider, Safer,
More Comfortabte
Many models are a whole 7
inches tower (without sacrificing
road clearance), so it's easier to
hop in and out of cabs. StiU
there's more space inside: more
room for hats and hips, more
foot room with suspended pedats.
Cabs are safer, too; new build
makes them 67 % more rigid.
P!us improvements
A!! Through the Line
A new steering linkage system
that cuts vibration, means better
control. There's new V8 effi-
ciency. Sixes tong famous for
saving. New key-turn starting.
Higher, wider visibility. Tatk to

To the Hounds!
"There were five great white
dogs silhouetted against the set-
ting sun watching me intently. I
was worried...until their owner
rode into sight. He was using the
Russian wolf-
hounds to chase
coyotes that
had been at-
tacking his
sheep."
When a
friend told me
this incident, it
reminded me
that one of man's earliest uses of
his canine friends was coursing,
or chasing wild animals, says
Tex Fawcett of the Purina Dog
Care Center, in St. Louis.
Missouri.
Coursing with greyhounds is
probably the oldest competitive
sport in which dogs are used. An-
cient paintings and other arche-
ological finds give abundant
proof that men who had little
need to catch their own food were
extremely fond of the sport.
Today there are 21 breeds of
hounds recognized by the Ameri-
can Kennel Club that owe their
development to the chase. They
range from the improbable little
Dachshund with his short legs
and long body to the distin-
guished Saluki of Egypt, once
the companion of pharaohs.
The stately Bloodhound is said
to have descended from the
Hounds of St. Hubert, patron
saint of hunters Before the
Christian era, ancient chroniclers
noted the exceptional tracking
ability of the hounds, referring
to them as sleuth-hounds
There are a lot of othet
hounds: Foxhounds, Coonhounds,
Basset hounds, Elkhounds, Wolf-
hounds and Afghan hounds—ex-
amples all of the selective breed-
ing of dogs to fulfill their ancient
role as man's faithful hunting
companion.
