THE MEXIA" WEEKLY Friday, SeptemEer 9, i9S2. CAMPAIGN FOR GOVERNORSHIP TOM MIX WEATHERFORD (UP)-Gcoi-gc Armstrong of Fort Worth who withdrew from the first Democratic primary race and is a candidate for governor on. the Good Government party ticket, here Saturday asserted that both sides were guilty of gross violation of the election law in the primary. He advocated increased inheritance taxes as the logical way to provide state revenue rather than diversion of gasoline tax. Discussing the Democratic primary, Armstrong said: "The recent election is reciting with corruption, fraud, and illegal voting, and there is no way to determine with any degree of cer- tainty who is in fact the Democratic nominee.

Both sides charge fraud in both elections, and both sides are guilty of it, and both sides have greatly violated th? election law limiting campaign e.x- penditures to $10,000. "I submit that no honest man is under any character of obligation to support any nominee who has obtained nomination by the illegal use of money, by fraud, or illegal voting. It is the citizen's duty to repudiate such an eleV'fon and to condone the crime. "We now have on hand a special session of the legislature that is costing- the people of Texas about $4000 a day and has been brought about solely as a result of political demagoguery of the late paign. Both Sterling and Ferguson advocated the state's assumption of raod bonds as vote-catching proposition.

Sterling took the' play away Jim by calling the special session to pass a bill that he had previously vetoed as being unwise and unconstitutional. Complete line of igniliop jjj for any car.

Werner on Groesbeck Road THOSE TIRE TESTERS put your old headline hunter on the spot. That car on Safety SUvertomu went around that sharp corner at 42 miles an hour.

But those tires clutched that wet. asphalt surface like they were running a groove. They didn't skid an inch tasked them whether they were testing Goodrtch or Cubans. ELLO EVERYBODY- Floyd Gibbons speaking. I've just seen a most wonderful demonstration of progress.

I think it is news, and I'll tell you why: 34,400 were killed in automobile accidents in this country last year. Almost a injured. These figures overwhelm me. What do you think? If a way has been found to make tires that will prevent some of these tragedics- isn't that BIG news? I leave it to you. stopped at the Goodrich in Akron.

I heard they were making a safer ru-n-the Eafest tire ever built. They call it the SAFETY Silvertown. They convinced me. They showed me a test that was a sock-dologer. These Goodrich tire testers put your old headline hunter on the spot.

That spot was right in the middle of a street intersection. And the street was wet. They drove a car with these new safety tares on it-drove it straight at me at the gpeed.of 42 miles an hour. Just before it reached me, going at that speed, the driver turned suddenly. Just missed me by inches.

They said it wouldn't skid. I had to believe them. It did not skid. But, boy, what a teat! I asked them if they were testing Goodrich or Gibbons. That car on Safety Silvcrtowns went around that sharp corner at 42 mileB an hour.

Not a sharp corner- sharper than a right angle. But those tirea ciutchcd that wet, asphalt surface like they were running in a groove. THEY DIDN'T SKID AN INCH. If they had skidded well, some other boy'd be writing this copy instead of me. When 1 got my breath back, I wanted to know how such a tire could be made.

I mean, I wanted to see the works. They showed me a plant so big I wore my legs only hit the high spots. One place, I stood in a shaft eight or ten. stories high, and watched them drop a heavy, wicked-looking metal prong-like a guillotine-on an inflated tire. Forty-fifty- sixty feet theyldropped it.

Then, at 75 feet, the tire gave way. It didn't air came out like a sigh. That's one way they find out whether their tires are safe against blow-outs. I saw them place a tire in chamber reinforced like a prison cell, and blow it up to 200 pressure before it burst. Test, test improve, improve! That's what it's all about.

They're at it 24 hours a day. Trying to find weak spots in tires that are already tougher than the Gas House Gang. That's how they prove it's the safest tire ever built! They told me these Safety Silverlowns sell for the price of any standard tire. Not a cent more. With thousands smashed up or killed in skidding accidents every year, I'm willing to pay something extra to save my neck.

Maybe they're making it too easy for us. I'M FOR THIS LEAGUE, TOO! Here's something: The SUvertown Safety League. It (Uves me drlvlnft rules to follow safety. It Slves me an emblem for my car. I Joined up! Any Goodrich dealer will enroll you, they tell me.
