Then after you get all these
missiles in place, invent a spe-
cial radar firing device that’ll
set off all of them if just one
it them goes off.
With everybody in the world
then looking down the barred
of a guided missile, vvho’d be
interested in shooting first?
You have no idea how rea-
sonable people get when they're
blocked on all sides. Man is sup-
posed to be the only animal with
reasoning ability, blit I under-
stand when a forest fire breaks
out, the rabbits and foxes, the
antelopes and the mountain
lions, all begin reasoning that
the only way out of the mess is
to run together for awhile.
On the other hand, come to
think of it, this hundred per
cent guided missile idea might
not work after all. Sparrows
might build a nest in the firing
device of a missile down in Af-
ghanistan, trigger the thing, and
j send the world up in smoke. Or

its crisp looks, loo (with a hit of freshening here and
there). The changes we’ve made weren’t for change’s
sake, you see—but for yours. Just for a sample; the
brakes are self-adjusting. The new Delcotron generator
gives you more electrical reserve power and helps your
battery reach a vigorous old age. The Body by Fisher
beauty lasts longer, too; air pushes rain and wash
water down through the rocker panels (where most
rust begins!) in a clever new flush-and-dry system. The
ride is smoother and quieter because of a large number
of small improvements we've made. And things are a
lot pltishier inside. Now you’ve

Dunbar Defeats
McGregor 8-6
The Dunbar Dragons scored a
safety in the fourth quarter
here Wednesday night and those
two points provided the winning
margin as the Dragons defeated
Carver of McGregor, 8-6, in
their first District 2-A game.
West scored first in the first
quarter with halfback Joe Car-
roll going three yards for the
touchdown. McGregor tied it in
the third quarter on halfback
Frank Snead’s four-yard scoring
run. West got its winning mar-
gin in the fourth quarter when
the Dragons spilled a McGregor
back in the McGregor end zone.
