Fort Davis readers hear from Campbell Harker about Ford Model A updates. New body types feature higher hoods, longer fronts, arched headlamps, and slim steel spoke wheels. Dealers emphasize minor mechanical changes instead of new car launches, with emphasis on improved stability and safety.
A fragmented clipping notes shifts in car body types including Tudor sedans and coupes. It trails into odd remarks about a West Virginia girl flagging a train, hose fashion, and drugstores selling stock jingles, concluding with claims icemen offer colder ice based on production temperature.
A Texas town reflects on a year of growth with a major paving program of 100 blocks and the completion of a new $90,000 high school building. Residents praise unity, plan further progress, and urge continued effort to keep Alpine advancing rather than resting on past achievements.
The note critiques style in headlines and the aging practice of concise word usage. It cites the University of Kansas stance against gimmicky phrasing while acknowledging that journalists push brevity. It contrasts terms like probe blast collision and Journalese with cautious language.
The piece urges renewal of resolutions and consistent effort as a new year begins. It questions progress, contribution, and daily meaning, warning that without action a year slips by unused. It emphasizes choosing a goal, starting, and steady pursuit toward a definite attainment.
A fragmented timetable lists trains including 102 Limited 8.01 and 103 Argonens 02 aan, with notes of mail movements to San Antonio and beyond. Closures are given: mail closes 4 30 p m for some trains and 1 05 p m for local mail, 8 00 p m for ballast.
