Bellville which is a member of

a On Maneuvers
On the streetcar one night I
noticed a pretty blonde being an-
noyed by a drunken soldier. An-
other GI came to her rescue,
dressing down the offender in no
uncertain terms. The hero then
sat down by the blonde, chatted
gaily and eventually escorted her
from the car.
A few weeks later I was rid-
ing the same streetcar when
again a young soldier, also ap-
parently tipsy, began to annoy
a pretty girl—a brunette this
time. As before, another soldier
stepped up, got rid of the drunk
and in a few minutes was deep
in conversation with the girl.
It was then I realized that two
smart GIs had found a unique
way of providing themselves
with plenty of dates. For the
"protector" of the second adven-
ture was clearly the "drunk" of
the first performance, and vice
versa.

without them, but make them
available at extra cost if desired.
Other manufacturers are expect-
ed to adopt similar merchandis-
ing programs.
The extras often cost up to $250
or more. So the dealer will win
some advantage, at least in theo-
ry, because he can start his sales
effort at a list price just that
much lower.
Probably this isn’t all the car
makers have had in mind when
they started putting a lot of ex-
tra equipment back on the whol-
ly optional list. There still are
many thousands of car owners
who think automatic transmis-
sions cost too much.
When these transmissions were
talked about early in the post-
war period some manufacturers
without them remarked that they
"would be willing to shift a lot
of gears for $175 to $200." Of
course, many motorists whose
cars now cost from 80 to 100
per cent more than they did be-
fore the war still feel that way.
Whether the auto makers lost
any business to competitors be-
cause automobiles were not
available without $250 and more
worth of extras can only be
guessed at. Certainly they heard
plenty of protests from their own
retail organizations about having
to sell cars so equipped.
The auto manufacturers gen-
erally are predicting a continued
heavy demand for new cars
through most of the year ahead.
However, many dealers will say
that if they are to make the most
of a more highly competitive
market, they will have to be able
to give the car buyers exactly
what he wants.
independent Indians of Sealy
drop a heartbreaker to the red
shirted outlaws to the tune of
50 to 45 after leading Bellville
until the final 3 and a half min-
utes of the game. It was a very
rough game, although typical of
a grudge game between these
two clubs. A total of 42 personal
fouls were called throughout the
game which saw two Sealy men
and one Bellville player leave
the game with five personals.
Lee and Konescheck were the
players ejected for Sealy and
their loss was keenly felt as
they departed with four minutes
left to play. Bell of Bellville led
all point makers with 17, while
W. Nastoupil and W. Props of
Sealy had 12 and 10 respectively.
These games just about con-
clude practice games for the Sea-
ly Clubs with the possible excep-
tion of perhaps a game or so as
district competition for the High
Schoolers starts early in January.
The independents begin league
play on January 9. A full sched-
ule for both clubs should be
available by the time next weeks

Is There Room in
The Poorhouse for
149 Million People?
In 1932 Franklin D. Roosevelt,
then a Presidential candidate,
had this to say about government
spending:
"Any government, like any
family, can for a year spend a
little more than it earns. But you
and I know that a continuance of
that habit means the poorhouse."
Those words, important 17 years
ago, have even greater signifi-
cance today. Why? Because in
every year since 1932 (with the
exception of the two fiscal years
immediately following the war)
our federal government has spent
more than it has collected!
In 1932 our federal government
spent 412 million dollars. For the
fiscal year of 1950, it is estimat-
ed that our federal government
will spend ten times that amount
... 45 billion dollars.
To give you an idea of just
how much money this is, consider
these facts:
1. If everyone in the United
States cashed in all his life-in-
surance policies, the total would
amount to 44 billion dollars. This
would not be enough money to
run the Government for one
year.
2. If every urban home owner
in this country sold his home,
the total would amount to 30
billion dollars. That’s just enough
to run the Government for eight
months.
3. If every farmer in this coun-
try sold his farm, farm equip-
ment and livestock, the total
would amount to 25 billion dol-
lars. The Government could not
run for seven months on that
amount of money.
These facts put a new light on
the staggering size of our feder-
al government’s planned 45-bil-
lion-dollar expenditure for the
fiscal year of 1950. And remem-
ber, this excessive spending is in
the face of a national debt of
more than 250 billion dollars!
Isn’t it as true today as it was
in 1932 that "a continuance of
that habit means the poorhouse"?
Just what are you doing to end
excessive spending by our fed-
eral government? Have you writ-
ten your Congressmen? Have you
discussed the problem with your
business associates, your friends,
your employes?
Lets’ make sure our represen-
tatives in government know how
we at home feel about the contin-
uance of a habit that "means the
poorhouse."
The time for action is NOW!

My son
Bo b by
Jean, 4,
had been
suffering
from vom-
iting spells.
Each a t -
tack sent
him to bed
with fever
for 2 or 3
days. We
tried all Bobby Jean
kinds of medicines but he con-
tinued to lose weight and grow
pale and weak. We started giv-
ing him HADACOL and since
the first dose he has never had
a vomiting spell or fever. He
gained 4 pounds in 2 weeks
and is full of pep and energy.
It is really remarkable how
HADACOL has helped my
child.
Mrs. Joseph Prejean
RFD No. 3, Box 231D
Beaumont, Texas
IS HADACOL A MIRACLE
FORMULA?
No, there is nothing miraculous
or mysterious about HADA-
COL. The potent health-giving
benefits of HADACOL are
based on a proven scientific
fact: Lack of sufficient vita-
mins and minerals in most diets
leaves the door WIDE OPEN
to diseases and weaknesses of
all kinds. HADACOL, the sci-
entifically balanced dietary
supplement, helps to CLOSE
that door and KEEP it closed.
BOBBY JEAN JUST ONE
OF THOUSANDS!
Had is not been for HADACOL,
the story of Mrs. Prejean’s lit-
tle boy, as told in her letter
above, might have had a tragic
ending. His system was run
down to the danger point. Med-
icines and treatments didn’t
help. What he really needed
was a supply of "building ma-
terials" for his poor little
wasted body—and that’s what
he got from HADACOL. To-
day, like thousands of others,
he is healthy again!
WHO SHOULD
TAKE HADACOL?
HADACOL is not a medicine.
It is a concentrated FOOD
formula containing all the im-
portant vitamins in the B Com-
plex group as well as these
vital minerals: iron, calcium,
phosphorus and manganese. If
you are not getting your full
daily quota of these essential
dietary components, you may
be heading straight into dan-
ger—weakness, loss of appetite,
and then disease!
Let HADACOL help you stay
on the High-
way of Health! _
The car-buying public is be-
coming increasingly price-cons-
cious—and the auto industry ap-
parently knows it.
Such is the interpretation
placed in many industry quarters
on what appears to be a new post-
war trend in car-merchandising
policies.
From the time the industry re-
sumed production after the war
until quite recently the impatient
motorist had to take what he
could get. Not infrequently this
included a lot of extra equip-
ment like deluxe steering wheels
and chrome wheel rings, radio,
and heater, white-sidewall tires
—and even an automatic trans-
mission.
The car makers quite generally
expect an increasing demand for
automatic transmissions. Chevro-
let, bringing one out with its new
models next month, and Ford,
planning one for midsummer, be-
lieve there will be a substantial
demand for them in the lower
price field.
But regardless of the assured
demand, more car builders are
getting back to the idea that the
buyer is going to buy only what
he wants. So more auto manu-
facturers may be expected to of-
fer their cars again with a mini-
mum of special equipment.
At the same time they are go-
ing to offer—perhaps in package
form—any and all the special
equipment a car buyer may
choose.
From the merchandising stand-
point the new policy has a dis-
tinct advantage for the car re-
tailer. He will be able to adver-
tise list prices considerably un-
der those that prevailed since
the war.
Several model cars that have
included automatic transmissions,
electric clocks, de luxe wheel
trim and other items as standard
equipment, now are being offered
If you must dry-clean clothes
at home, use only a non-flam-
mable fluid—one that will nev-
er explode nor burn. And do
the work outside, where the va-
pors will be quickly carried
away by the wind.
