Manufacturers of gas clothes
dryers report public interest here
in this comparatively new mem-
ber of the gas appliance “fam-
ily” which eliminates the clo-
thesline routine and saves laun-
dry damage from frost, dust and
wind-lashing. Non-farm rural
homes also have taken kindly
to the high-speed gas incinera-
tor as an answer to garbage and
trash disposal problems.
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
“I was in your little town
on March 28, 1954. I was stand-
ing on the front porch of my
uncle’s home when the most
terrible thing happened that I
have ever seen.
“One of your so called friends,
with a star over his left, where
his heart should be, came up to
the corner in the middle of the
street and coaxed a harmless
dog to his car, pulled his high
power rifle out and shot him
between the eyes.
“Now friends, this thing Is
awful. He did not stop to see
if the dog had a tag, for the
dog had too much hair around
his neck to see from the car.
The owner wasn’t asked by the
star carrier to have his dog
tagged, like most people with
a heart would do. This dog
wan’t hurting anyone as he
had just gotten out of the yard.
“And furthermore, the gun
was shot from a car and in the
city which is an unlawful thing.
This gun, my friends, was a
high powered one, for I saw
this with my two eyes. It could
of easily glanced and hit any
child in a distance of about 100
feet away, playing in their yard.
“If this thing is to go on,
YOU or YOUR CHILD may be
shot.
“And this isn’t all. He ties
the dog on the back of his car
and drug it through the town
on main street for every child
to see. Two of my girls saw this
also. They were as close as
your front door is to you now.
There were about a dozen more
that saw this, also.
“Here is hoping the people of
Paducah, Texas will do some-
thing now, about this thing.
A friend of friends and rel-
atives of Paducah,
An eye witness to this wrong
doing,
Juanitha Kissel.”
Mr. Star Carrier without a heart.
We know who you are and I
don’t care if you are appointed

RECORD BREAKER
New records are established
nearly every day in the pro-
gressive oil industry. Several new
drilling records recently were
set in Louisiana: More than
17,000 feet of hole drilled in 90
days; more than 1,000 feet of
hole below 14,000 feet cut in
30 days; and installation of one
of the longest strings of tubing
—a 17,212 foot string comprising
562 lengths.

by the appointers. You could
say no to this thing or have a
pound to keep the dogs for a
limited time, and then put them
to sleep behind closed doors
so the children won’t be hurt.
They have enough to face when
they come into this world, with-
out seeing things like this.
If you don’t do something to
right this wrong, God will deal
with you. And I do mean this.
God does every thing, and he
can deal with you.
You had better get down on
your knees, and get forgiveness
for this thing. If you know how, I
that is. God will teach you how i
if you will give him a chance.1

GAS IMPROVES
COTTLE HOMES
Liquefied petroleum, some-
times called bottled gas, has
been a big factor in the mod-
ernization of a majority of Cot-
tle county’s 2,000 homes in the
past five years.
A study of the Gas Appliance
Manufacturers Association shows
that the high-heat fuel has
pushed many wood-burning cook-
stoves and kerosene heaters in-
to obscurity and has helped
homemakers here take advant-
age of modern automatic equip-
ment for kitchens, laundries and
comfort heating.
In fact, GMA says, 52 $er cent
of the homes in this county do
not receive utility gas and most
of them rely on bottled gas for
appliance operation.
Since 1949 domestic use of
this fuel has risen more than
40 per cent, and during the
same period, GAMA points out,
“the farm kitchen revolution has
been at its height with the re-
sult that rural homes generally
are more completely equipped
with modern work-saving ap-
pliances than city dwellings.”
County appliance dealers say
sales in recent years indicate a
local tendency to buy top-qual-
ity appliances incorporating up-
to-date controls, modern insula-
tion, easy-to-clean parts and
other improvements that elim-
inate chores and help convert the
kitchen and basement into liv-
ing area as well as improved
work space.
Specially favored by local
householders, the trade group
says, are new gas ranges with
single-point ignition for both
oven and top burners, more ac-

Rom where I sit... 6y Joe Marsh
If you want to hear a real
hassle, listen to Cob James and
Whitey Baker on trout fishing
sometime. You’d think it was
more important than anything.
Cob favors dry flies. Whitey
pooh-poohs anything but wet
j flies. Cob swears by a Fan-Wing
Royal Coachman; Whitey won’t
; hear of anything but Silver Doc-
tor. And so it goes—they can’t
even get together on steel rods
versus bamboo rods.
But on Saturday, each got back
from Fox Creek with a catch that
eouldn’t have differed by more
than a couple of ounces! Then
over a friendly glass of beer, they
allowed as how maybe they were
both right . . . which is how so
many arguments should end.
From where I sit, life would be
a whole lot pleasanter if we all
respected one another’s opinions
— whether about trout flies, or
having a glass of beer, or voting.
After all, a person has a right to
follow his own line of thinking.

are part and parcel of every 1954
Buick.
T TNLESS you’ve tried it yourself,
you’re going to find it hard to
believe.
But when you press the pedal of a 1954
Buick with Twin-Turbine Dynaflow,*
joy reigns —and so do you.
You feel the joyous thrill of command-
ing instant response, the solid “take
hold/’ the firm authority of your
acceleration.
You feel a joyous exhilaration at the
utter smoothness of the forward carry
— a completely infinite smoothness
that is there every inch of the way.
And you feel a deep and abiding joy
at the simplicity of it all, the ease with
which you drive, the blessed restful-
ness of travel'with a truly automatic
transmission working its wonders.
As we said, you’ll find this hard to
believe —until you try it yourself.
Until you try TT Dynaflow with the
stepped-up V8 horsepowers of the
1954 Buicks. Until you try it with the
new buoyancy and the new handling
sureness of the improved Million
Dollar Ride. Until you try it with the
new visibility, the new luxury, the
new “look of tomorrow” styling that
So, we want you to be our guest at
the wheel of a 1954 Buick with
Twin-Turbine Dynaflow this week.
During April, 1,500,000 people will
guest-drive the 1954 Buicks, and join
the Thrill Of The Month Club by
doing so. We cordially invite you to
join them, for a real thrill. Gall us
