Case Dreaded Polio
Paducah and Cottle county
marked the third case of polio
for the year, this week, as the
illness of Lorene Cunningham,
age 9, and D. N. Gregory, age
7, was pronounced polio.
Lorene’s illness was diagnosed
as polio by a local doctor Mon-
day, and she was taken to
Wichita Falls General Hospital
by a Norris ambulance. Lorena
shows weakness in both legs,
but no evidence of the bulbar
type polio at last report, her
consulting doctor said.
Lorene is the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Hayden Cunningham of
this city. Mr. Cunningham, with
the Air Corps, is stationed in
Korea. Mrs. Cunningham is stay-
ing at the D. W. Wiley home in
Wichita Falls in order to be near
her daughter during her illness.
D. N. Gregory, Jr., age 8, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Deward Gregory of
Buck Creek, entered the Plain-
view Hospital and Clinic Foun-
dation Tuesday afternoon for
treatment of polio.
Young Gregory’s illness was
diagnosed as polio by a local
doctor and confirmed by a Plain-
view doctor, Tuesday afternoon,
and the child entered the Plain-
view Hospital shortly afterwards.
D. N., upon entering the hos-
pital was reported to have the
bulbar type polio but was resting
well at last report with condi-
tion good, a check with the head
nurse, polio ward Plainview hos-
pital, revealed.
DAVIS IMPROVED
Alfred W. Davis was dismissed
from the Wichita General Hos-
pital Polio Ward, Friday of last
week and continues to improve.
He is at the home of his parents,
Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Davis, Wich-
ita Falls, and will probably be
able to return to his home here
soon.
In conversation, by telephone,
Mrs. Davis told the Post Editor
her husband still had some dif-
ficulty swallowing and talking,
but “was up and around the
house,” and is ‘raring’ to return
to his home in Paducah.
COOPERATION NEEDED
Residents are again reminded
to adhere to the sanitation pro-
gram and see to it their own
premises are sprayed — as the
spraying by the city is not going
to be enough—it is going to take
the cooperation of everyone.
City Manager Gene Gordon,
states that present plans call for
the purchase of a new spraying
machine, in order that stepped-
up action on spraying may be
carried out.
State Health advisers do not
recommend fogging since spray-
ing has proven to be more effec-
tive, Mr. Gordon said.
DRY WEATHER
DIMS COTTON
CROP HERE
Ten days or two weeks ago,
Cottle county stood a good
chance of making a fine cotton
crop, but due to the continued
lack of rain, that possibility has
been greatly reduced.
Such is the opinion of Kirby
Clayton, county agent. He stat-
ed that the county has one of
the best dry-land cotton crops
in West Texas, though. To real-
ize this, he said, one only has
to drive through Jones, Taylor,
Stonewall, Fisher and Nolan
counties.
Most cotton in this area will
hold up another 10 days, however
much of the tight land is com-
mencing to burn and some is al-
ready beginning to shed its fruit.
New Building For
Studebaker Under
Construction Here
A new home for Studebaker
car sales and service is being
constructed adjacent to the Food
Store by Hanks Brothers. Work
on the new building began Sat-
urday.
Dimensions of the construction
are 50 by 70 feet. This should al-
low 1,000 square feet for a show-
room and another 2,500 feet for
the service department, accord-
ing to Buster Hanks.
DEADLINE NEAR
FOR VEHICLE
INSPECTION
Some “stepped-up” action is
needed if Cottle county motor-
ists get their vehicles inspected
by' September 6 deadline, which
is only about three weeks away.
Of the 2,337 vehicles register-
ed in the county to date, only
1329 have been inspected, ac-
cording to a survey made by
the Paducah Post.
The law provides a fine of not
to exceed $200.00 for any per-
sons guilty of operating a ve-
hicle after September 7, when
such vehicle has not been in-
spected and approved. Motorists
are urged to get their vehicles
inspected NOW in order to avoid
the last minute scramble and
the inconvenience of having to
wait in line.
Inspection stations in Paducah
include Paducdh Motor Co.;
Hanks & Fleming Motor Co.;
Reid Farm Supply; Wood-O’Neil
Chevrolet Co.; Tom Smith Mo-
tor Co.
It’s later than you think—and
one test station owner in an in-
terview with a Post reporter
said: “It appears it is going to
be almost impossible to take
care of everyone before the Sep-
tember 6 deadline, due to the
fact so many persons have put
the matter off.”
The inspection fee is $1 and
the motorist is under no obliga-
tion to have any recommended
repairs to his vehicle done at the
place of inspection. The inspect-
ors said that a car owner could
do the repair work himself if he
so desired and take the car back
for reinspection at no additional
charge. ,
CARS DAMAGED
IN WEEK-END
ACCIDENTS
Although there were no serious
injuries to occupants, two of
three cars involved in traffic ac-
cidents over the week-end were
badly damaged.
An Oldsmobile driven by Air-
man R. B. Crisp, Jr., Sheppard
Air Base, struck a cow belong
ing to Woodrow Martin on high
way 70, four miles east of Pa
ducah, Saturday at 8:30 p. m
About $400 damage was sustain
ed by the car in killing the ani
mal.
The hood, front fenders, radia-
tor and grill of the Olds were
bent and mashed. Other occu-
pants of the car were Carl W.
Lacy and Donald E. Perry, also
Air Force members.
Adrian Defoar’s ’51 Plymouth
needed repairs totaling $200 af-
ter ramming into the back of
the ’39 Chevrolet belonging to
James Peter Detry, Colorado, at
1:30 a. m. Sunday.
Both cars were coming to-
ward Paducah a mile north of
town when the accident occurred.
Detry, whose cdr sustained some
damage in the rear, was en
route to Wichita Falls.

SESSION HELD
IN SLAYING
OF HIS WIFE
Florzell Session, 51, colored, is
being held by authorities here
in connection with the Saturday
night slaying of his wife, Ber-
tha Session, 36.
The Negro woman’s body lay
just off the porch of Session’s
house on the Walter Biddy farm,
eight miles south of Paducah
when officers arrived. A .22 cal.
slug had pierced her left tem-
ple.
Session accompanied Biddy in-
to town to report the killing and
give himself up. The colored
man said the incident had been
an attempt to scare his wife ra-
ther than shoot her.
One of three witnesses, Jessie
Earl, testified that Session had
also fired the rifle at him after
killing the woman.
In a struggle which followed
an argument between man and
wife, Session held the rifle in
one hand and a pocket knife in
the other which he tried to open
with his teeth, witnesses report-
ed to officers.
Mrs. Session relaxed her grip
on the rifle and stepped off the
porch preceding the fatal shot,
according to accounts.
Mrs. Session, before her mar-
riage, was Bertha Reed of
Henderson, Texas, where her
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jim Reed,
still reside. Other survivors are
five sisters and two brothers.
Funeral services were held in
the Norris Funeral Chapel, Wed-
nesday at 4:00 p. m., with Rev.
Samuel North officiating. Inter-
ment was in the Garden of
Memories Cemetery.

What the little city of Menard,
Texas, did not too long ago re-
veals that towns with live-wire,
active Chamber of Commerce or-
ganizations will be those that
thrive, prosper and continue to
grow.
The Menard County Chamber
of Commerce, under reorganiza-
tion plans, has taken the place
of the Menard City Chamber of
Commerce. Six of the directors
are from the rural area and five
from the town.
An editorial which appeared in
the San Angelo Times had this
to say: “We don’t know how ac-
curately this reflects the popu-
lation split between city and
county in Menard county. It
doesn’t matter much. What the
change to a County Chamber of
Commerce shows is that there
are those in Menard who visual-
ize a city and its trade territory
as an inseparable economic unit.
City and surrounding country-
are mutually dependent and nei-
ther can expect to prosper for
long at the expense of the oth-
er.”
Lions clubs and other organi-
zations of that type, try as they
may, can not serve in the capa-
city of a Chamber of Commerce,
and A good Paducahian told Prat-
Stinson Again To
Head March Dimes
Fund Campaign
Cecil Carr, Chairman of the
Cottle-King Chapter ^nfantile
Paralysis, announced this week
that T. C. Stinson has again
been named Fund Raising Chair-
man for the ’53 March of Dimes
Drive.
Campaign period, as has been
the custom in the past, will be
held during the month of Janu-
ary.
Stinson made an enviable rec-
ord as head of the fund cam-
paign during the Dimes Drive in
January of this year, with more,
than $4,000 raised by the Cottle*
King Chapter.
Hanks Bros. Food
Has Remodeling
Hanks Brothers Food Store has
been doing some summer remod-
eling during these dry August
days.
Together with repainting the
walls in pastel shades, a new
ceiling was installed. A new
checking counter, several new
stock counters and new carts
were added.
County H. D.
Agent Nelda Tyler
Resigns Position
Nelda Tyler, Cottle County
Home Demonstration Agent, for
the past 2% years has resigned
that position effective as of Sep-
tember 1, according to a state-
ment released today.
The Commissioners’ Court has
accepted the resignation. The va-
cancy, which will be left by Mrs.
Tyler’s resignation, has not been
filled.
Mrs. Tyler states she will de-
vote her full time to “house-
wife” duties.
Only Slight Damage
From Friday’s Blaze
Firemen answered a call to
the Billy J. Elliott home on
South Eighth Street a little after
5:00 p. m., Friday.
Mrs. Elliott was removing
paint spots from the bathroom
floor when the flame from the
hot water heater ignited vapor
from the cleaning fluid. Damage,
which was light, consisted of on-
tler recently he had quit going
to Lion meetings because he was
placed on too many committees,
and did not have much time left
to devote to his business.
Towns which reach out to
serve the most people will be
the ones that thrive most and
that can be accomplished
through an “up-and-at-’em”
Chamber.
——o—
In conversing with several lo-
cal merchants we find “credit”
is becoming more and more of
a problem. Credit is fine if it is
used with wisdom — but we
should remember the easy road
often turns out to be the rough-
est road in the end!
And according to Sales Credit
News that’s something to re-
member when it comes to buy-
ing the family needs, now that
the government no longer re-
stricts the length of time to pay
for purchases.
We should not succumb to the
idea that the easiest possible in-
stallment terms we can get will
be the easiest in the long run.
They won’t be. Organizations that
make a business of handling the
financing of purchases will tell
you that.
Those organizations are in-
forming the public that the eas-
iest road for them is to set up
the shortest credit terms they
can afford. According to the
American Finance Conference,
whose members have had many
years of experience in handling
credit, the longer you take to
pay, the more it costs you be-
cause you are paying, too, for
the privilege of extending your
time.
Certainly the installment cred-
it system makes it possible for
many of us to have things we
could not otherwise have, but
that is no reason to use it un-
wisely.
, Experienced groups such as
AFC advise budgeting of pay-
ments according to the strictest
limits of your' income instead of
bowing to the temptation to ex-
tend the time further than you
really need to. If you make an
installment purchase, pay as
much down as you can, make
your payments in as short a
time as possible and then you
will get the full enjoyment from
your purchase, for it will not
have depreciated in value faster
than you paid for it. That’s not
taking the easy road, but it's
taking the road that is traveled
the easiest in the long run.
Another “mighty purty” pipe
was laid to rest in peace among
our growing collection. We are
indebted to J. D. Hutchison for
the gift, which came from fam-
ous Boot Hill, Dodge City, Kan-
sas. To each pipe in our collec-
tion is attached sentiment and a
story. The thing we cherish most
of all, however, is the statement
made by those who present us
the pipes—“I thought of you,
Al.” We now have pipes from
practically every state in the un-
ion and from jnany foreign coun-
tries.
