Oh, Doctor
It was a wet and bitterly cold
night when Dr. Lucas was called to
the home of Farmer Smithers. The
head of the household was down with
a severe cold which threatened to
turn into pneumonia.

It all started with the new “Inner Ford.” When
Ford engineers planned this baby, they didn’t just think
in terms of new springs, new brakes, new axles. They
thought in terms of a car through-and-through new.
The wheels got smaller. Yes, this new Ford is so new
in every detail that even the wheels have changed. Now
smaller and broader for a better grip on the road, they
help you take off quickly ... give you a better ride.
The wheelbase got longer ... so now you can choose
between a Ford that’s over 16 ft. long—or one that’s over
17 ft. long!
The frame got wider. Side rails bow out to give a more
stable riding platform ... a lower, sleeker silhouette.
The ride got smoother. With new suspension, new
springing front and rear, the ride this new Ford gives
you is the closest you’ll ever come to coasting on velvet-
covered clouds. And that holds true on back roads, too!
The handling got easier. Poised and balanced like a
panther, this car has new swept-back front suspension
that works its magic when you need it most.
& The power got hotter. This new kind of Ford is

Modern Opera
“Farmer Brown’s whole family is
very operatic, you know?”
“Why goodness no. I wouldn’t
think they knew a note of music.”
“Yeah, this TV age has made opera
lovers of them all—their daughter
likes grand; their son, horse; Farmer
Brown, comic, and his wife, soap.”
The roof got lower. And it’s designed to let you make
the easy entries and graceful exits you’ve always known.
The body got quieter. It’s the strongest body ever built
for a low-priced car. And no car in Ford’s field has such
generous sound-proofing.
The room got bigger. There’s head room to spare for
a tycoon-type hat. There’s real stretch-out leg room, too.
The lines got sweeter. Ford gives you the longest,
lowest, low-priced car ever. Each graceful contour of its
sculptured-in-steel body-says, “Let’s go!”
The style got smarter. With this new-look Ford you
have a car that belongs anywhere! Example: all Fairlane
models, including sedans, have the look of a hardtop.
The value got greater ... and the price is still Ford-low.
The result—even more promise of buying a car that will
keep its value high ... a car that will stay worth more,

Friends were commiserating with
the widow of a tugboat skipper who
had fallen overboard and drowned.
“You poor dear,” said one, “I hope
you were left something.”
“Oh, I was!” assured the widow.
“He left me $20,000.”
“Twenty thousand dollars! imag-
ine that! And him that couldn’t
read or write.”
The widow nodded her head ear-
nestly. “Or swim,” she added.

The fact that the independent
newspapers which ignore party lab-
els have become preponderant in
number is to be considered with still
another fact: party labels have be-
come meaningless. Political opinion
is divided between the two opposing
economic idealogies: Private Enter-
prise, and Socialism.
The ranks of both major political
parties are divided along this line of
demarcation between Free Enter-
prise and Socialism. Since the So-
cialists are bent on policies that ulti-
mately lead to merger with the Union
of Soviet Socialist Republics, they
usually like to avoid the name and to
operate within the framework of
either the Republican or Democratic
party. They have gained such strong
influence in the ranks of both parties
the time has come when a patriotic
editor has no alternative but to
choose the lesser evil of the moment.

The preacher at the wedding 'cer-
emony was an ardent fisherman. He
asked the groom: “Do you promise to
love, honor and cherish this wom-
an?”
“I do,” said the groom, meekly.
“&• K.,” said the preacher turning
to the bride: “Reel him in.”

sure yourself of having

Who Has the Right of Way?
Possibly the most mystifying of all
traffic rules to the average driver
are those relating to right of way . at
an intersection. In reality, however,
these rules are quite simple.
In trying to understand the laws
regulating intersecting traffic, it is
best to start off with the premise that
all streets are of equal dignity, legal-
ly speaking. Traffic ,sigps and sig-
nals may vary this rule somewhat,
but when in doubt it is safest to as-
sume that all drivers crossing your
path have a claim to the .right of way
equal to your own.
Obviously, however, in many cases
one driver or the other will be legally
entitled to the right of way. When
it becomes necessary to determine
right of way in a particular situation,
the driver who reaches the intersec-
tion first, or who is going to get there
first, is ordinarily favored.
But when two automobiles are an
equal distance from the intersection,
that one approaching from the other
■driver’s right normally has the right
of way.
Some intersections are known as
“courtesy corners,” having a stop
sign or a flashing red signal facing
each direction of aproach. The first
driver reaching the corner and com-
ing to a complete stop will normally
have the right of way over other ve-
hicles not already in the intersection.
However, don’t depend too much on
the other fellow’s courtesy, and be
sure to keep a “proper look-out” and
your car under “proper control,” as
explained in a previous column.
At intersections involvine one
through street and another street
having a stop sign, a driver ap-
proaching the stop sign and coming
to a full stop is ordinarily said to
have the right of way over vehicles
approaching on the through street
but not already in the intersection.
However, this rule must be quali-
fied by saying that you should not
proceed, cross or turn onto the
through street until you can do so
without interfering with oncoming
traffic. In other words, if an ap-
proaching car will arrive within the
intersection before you are complete-
ly clear, wait just a little longer. The
same rules apply to entering a high-
way from a side road containing a
stop sign.
Many drivers violate the rules of
right of way covering left-hand turns
at intersections. When turning left,
you should always be on the inside
(or center) lane, displaying the prop-
er hand signal. You must allow all
cars coming from the opposite direc-
tion, already in the intersection, to
pass through before completing your
turn. Even when the intersection is
cleared, do not proceed unless other
oncoming traffic is far enough away
to be able to see your signal and slow
down to allow you to turn with safe-
ty to all concerned.
Stay in the inside lane until your
left-hand turn is entirely completed,
and only then move gradually over
to the right-hand lane if you wish.
When turning right, stay in the right-
hand lane at all times. Do not swing
wide into the center laiie,1 as. to do so
is unnecessary, unlawful and dan-
gerous.
Many detailed rules and sugges-
tions for safe driving are included in
the official “Texas Driving Hand-
book ’ which is available to any per-
son requesting same from the Texas
Department of Public Safety, Driv-
ers License Division, Austin, Texas.
What Is The Issue?
True, Too-Too True
“Now, Buster,” yelled the sergeant.
“If we were civilians would you come
to me with such a silly problem?”
“No,” retorted the private. “I’d
send for you.”
A called meeting for Den 2 was
held in the homemaking department
at the high school on Oct. 25 to make
a recording of a typical Den meeting
to be played over the Sherman ra-
dio station to help in the United Fund
drive.
The regular Cub meeting was held
Friday afternoon in the Cub Scout
room at the high school. Denner
John led the Cubs in the Den yell
and dues were collected. Books were
checked and Cubs were urged to
keep working in their books for their
pens and arrow points.
Games were played and Mrs.
James Bryant served refreshments to
John Gary Holloway, Del Sears, Jer-
Alexander, Terry Edwards,
Bill White, Murry Bryant and Joe
Hennig.
To dismiss, the denner led the
Cubs in the pledge of allegiance to
the Flag- and Happy Birthday was I
sung to Gary Holloway.

school for a short meeting,

Dues were collected. Each boy
painted a Halloween facb on a round
balloon to be given away at the PTA
carnival.
Next month’s theme was discussed
and refreshments were served before
the denner dismissed with forming
the living circle and saying the Cub
Scout promise. The Cubs were dis-
little while Mrs. Smithers
into the bedroom, bearing a
large bowl of smoking punch. The
doctor examined it, then drank it
down.
“Yes, that’s just right,” he agreed,
smacking his lips. “Now go back
and make him one exactly like it—
but only half as much.”
Quite a Difference
When Winston Churchill
asked to compare politics with
he explained: “Politics is almost as
exciting as war, and quite as danger-
ous. In war you can be killed only
once, but in politics many times.”
