A brief statement of the nature
of this suit is as follows, to-wit:
After alleging jurisdiction,
plaintiff further alleges that she
and defendant were married on or
about December 20th, 1947, and
continued to live together as hus-
band and wife until on or about
August 15th, 1951, when by reason
of cruel, harsh and tyrannical
treatment on the part of the de-

out cause or provocation, was of
such a nature as to render their
further living together insupport-

The Women’s Society of Chris-

Card of Thanks
We are herewith expressing our
heartfelt gratitude to everyone
who in any way assisted and com-
forted us in our recent bereave-

The many expressions and deeds
of love and sympathy which were
extended by the people of this

We. wish to give special thanks
to Drs. Fish and Powers and the
nurses at the Electra Hospital

Picture of a Pair
who just waked up
T TERE in the driveway is a Buick. It has just
JLl arrived. It belongs to this proud young
couple. They’ve just “arrived” too.
They’ve arrived at a discovery-the discovery
that owning a Buick instead of a “low-priced
car ’ isn’t so much a matter of money.
It’s a matter of knowing the facts of life. Buick
prices are closer to the prices of smaller, less
powerful, less distinguished cars than most
people think.
Wiy don’t you check into this?
3fou’ll find you could pay $300 to $400 more —
and still not match the horsepower of this
nimble beauty.
i'Vou could pay hundreds of dollars more—and
still not get any more interior room, or richer
fabrics.
But that’s only part of the story.
The big thing about any car is the way it goes.
So you ought to find out how this car rides the
road—the freedom from bobble and sway that
cost a million real dollars to develop.
^ibu ought to sample the way Dynaflow Drive*
feeds the power-with a steady swoop and
unbroken smoothness in city traffic, on hills, or
out on the open road.
And you ought to know how it feels to touch
off that Fireball 8 Engine. With all its might,
this high-compression valve-in-head gets a lot
of miles from a gallon of gas.
^iVe’ll tell you this—because a lot of folks have
told us this: No matter what car you’re driving*
now—no matter what cars you’ve looked at—
they’ll never seem the same after you try this
one.
Just give us a chance to prove it-and you’ll
have a lot of fun.

Ths Mary Martha Sunday
School class had a business and
social meeting Monday night in the
home of Mrs. J. W. Brown. The
house was beautifully decorated in
the class colors of orchid and yel-
low. The party was called the
“Mary Martha Mayflower Party.”
Those on the decorating commit-
tee were Mesdames G. R. Morrow,
M. G. White, W. C. Davis, R. A.
McClung and Brown.
Mrs M. L Sanderson had cha.rge
of the business meeting The class
song “Bless be the Tie” was sung.
Reports were given by the group
captains. The business session was
dismissed in prayer.
Mrs. McClung had charge of the
program. Mrs. Forbes brought the
devotional on spring flowers. Mrs.
McClung gave a poem, and read-
ings were given by Mrs. Brown
and Mrs. Garner.
The group enjoyed a couple of
games, rose pedals and gathering
flowers.
The officers wore pansy bonnets
and sweet pea corsages.
A lovely refreshment plate was
served, the plate favors were bas-
kets with orchid and yellow flow-
ers.

Six seconds to live. Somebody

coming car. The red glow disssolv-

Five seconds to live. He planted
his heel on the floorboard, squirm-

Four seconds to live. At 60
miles an hour, a car covers 88 feet
of pavement every second. Four
seconds — 352 feet.
Three seconds to live. Something
looked wrong, through the blurry
windshield. A tentative dab at the
brake stiffened into desperate
pressure as he made out an old
unlighted, slow-moving truck
ahead.
Two seconds to live. Panic mov-

make it. Turn to the right.
One second to live. Horror
numbed everything into slow mo-
tion. He was floating right into the
near corner of the truck bed. He
opened his mouth to scream.
No seconds to live.
It’s happened to lots of people.
Oh, maybe not just that way, but
similar. Drive too long, eyes tired,
reactions slow down. Rain, dark-
ness, a windshield that’s hard to
see through. Driving too fast. A
car or truck ahead that you can’t
see. It's happened to lots of folks.
It could happen to you.

tering higher each day and then
gradually going lower. The tem-
perature chart will resemble
smooth waves or undulantions. The
appearance of the temperature
curve in typical cases has given
this disease the name undulant
fever,
Undulant fever is one of the in-
fectious diseases known to be
transmitted from animals to hu-
man beings. In hogs and cows, the
germ produces a great economic
loss because it causes contagious
abortion. When this same germ in-
vades the human body, the result-
ing disease is undulant fever. Pre-
vention is dependent upon eradica-
tion of the disease in farm animals,
careful pasteurization of dairy
products, and avoidance, in so far
as possible, of/direct contact with
infected animals.

Christian Science
Sunday Lesson
Complete peace and harmony in
our daily affairs is the natural and
normal result of acknowledging
God as the only creator. This point
is stressed in the Lesson-Sermon
titled “God the Only Cause and
Creator” to be read in all Chris-
tian Science Church on Sunday,
June 8. The Golden Text asks:
“Have we not all one father? hath
not one God created us?” (Mala-
chi 2: 10.)
Man’s relationship to his creator
is emphasized in the following
Psalm to be read from the King
James version of the Bible: ‘The
Lord is nigh unto all them that
call upon him, to all that call upon
him in truth” (Psalms 145: 18.)
Further explaining the allness of
God, good, are these words from
the Christian Science text book,
“Science and Heath with Key to
the Scriptures” by Mary Baker
Eddy: “There is but one primal
cause. Therefore there can be no
effect from any other cause, and
there can be no reality in ought
which does not proceed from this
great and only cause. Sin, sickness,
disease, and death belong not to
the Science of being. They are the
errors which presuppose the ab-
sence of Truth, Life or Love.”

Health Report
Austin, June 5— This is the sea-
son when an increase of undulant
fever may be expected, according
to Dr. Geo. W. Cox, State Health
Officer.
An undulant fever patient suf-
fers from chilly sensations, or
severe shaking chills, sweats, and
high fever. The patient loses
weight and becomes weak. If the
illness is of mild type, the patient
may find it hard to remain in bed,
but if he tries to ke£p on with his
work he finds he has not sufficient
energy.
Symptoms often continue for a
number of weeks before recovery
occurs. Fortunately undulant fever(
has a low death rate. Body temper-
ature may reach a higher mark
each day than the day before for
some time, and then gradually re-
