Bauxite Vessel Stuck In Channel, Boys

Tho "Avedat", an Israeli vessel
carrying bauxite from Parinam,
was sailing up the Matagorda Ship
Channel under her own power when
she became stuck in the channel
near where the Intracoastal Canal
crosses it, about two miles off Port
O'Connor. A floating ci-ane from
Alcoa's Port Aransas trans-ship-

to lighten her and set her afloat
again.—Port Lavaca Wave.

BUYING POWER
Rep. Prentiss Walker (R.-Miss.)
says, "The buying power of the
American dollar has dropped to
about 47 cents and of every dollar
we get today, 37 cents goes back
to either the state, local of federal
government in the form of taxes
of one kind or another. After taxes,
our dollar will buy less than 40
cents worth of goods. This is what
I call economic irresponsibility."

twists across the map to the east
so that the Gulf of Mexico lies
due north of the Pacific Ocean.

You're a year odder now than
you were this time last year, but
are you a year wiser?
Chances are, if you are a year
wiser, your immunizations are up-
to-date. You will have checked with
your doctor, and followed his ad-
vice about an immunization sched-
ule.
The first nip of cold weather is
your cue to check on flu im-
munization. Influenza is a com-
municable disease, easily spread
from one person to another through
sneezes, coughs, common use of
drinking glasses and other objects.
Statistics show that the majority
of flu cases—influenza epidemics
—are more prone to occur during
cold weather.
Protection is particuarly recom
mended for the chronically ill, older
persons or others with health
problems.
We have the blessings of mi-
nimizations today through the dedi-
cated efforts of a number of cur
ious doctors and scientists during
the last 250 years. A country phy
sician in England by the name of
Edward Jenner first experimented
in the* late 1700's with the possibil-
ity of immunization.
Taking some fluid from the
pustule of a milk-maid named
Sarah Nelmes, who had a disease
very similar to smallpox—called
cowpox, Dr. Jenner scratched the
material on the arm of a boy
named Jimmy Phelps.
Sura enough, the immunization
took, much in crude imitation of
our vacillations today. Jimmy had
mild symptoms—slight fever, head-
ache and the one pustule on hisi
arm.
Since that time, a succession of
physicians and scientists have add-
ed to the knowledge which pro-
tects modern man from a number
of dread diseases.
Today, our children can be im
munized against many diseases for
which they have no natural protec
tion—diphtheria, whooping cough,
lock-jaw, polio and smallpox.
Adults sometimes neglect their
own immunization. But they,
too, need protection, particularly
against tetanus (alias lcck-jaw),
polio and others such as influenza.
Don't be like the lady who said,
"I'd better not have these shots,
I just might be allergic to them."
40 YEARS AGO
The Curtis-Sisson Grocery intro-
duced a cash and carry department.
Mrs. John Beard died at her
home northwest of Palacios.

Sartwelle attended the Intracoastal
