Conventions Promise Big Show
With Surprise Ending in Store
The political scrambling is on in
earnest and from now on in through the
national conventions it is a battle of the
wits if not even a dog eat dog proposition.
It will be interesting to watch the re-
sults. but even as preparations are being
made definite patterns are beginning to
take form.
For one thing, in the Republican camp,
the stop Goldwater campaign that started
so vigorously has sputtered, faltered, and
petered out. True, the fight is technically
still going on and an effort is being made
to get a platform that will not be palat-
able to the senator from Arizona.
Bui even as this light continues, one
can see the hedging going on behind the
scenes. The announcement that Senator
Everett Dirkson will nominate Gold-
vvate could mean more than the bare
statement itself. It could mean a Gold-
vvater-Dirkscn ticket.
Scranton is making a last ditch fight
on the campaign issues and the platform.
Ike’s brother will nominate Scranton and
while the former president himself lias
not come out with an endorsement, the
implication is there. It ts doubtful that
the Scranton forces can succeed.
Moving of Nixon’s talk to a later date
when he could “introduce the nominee”
is another indication oi what is expected.
As for the Democrats, it can’t be any-
one but LBJ for the presidency, of course,
hut his running mate poses a problem,
and here again it will he interesting to
watch developments. Bobby Kennedy has
let it be known he would accept the vice-
presidential nomination. What he really
means, of course, is that he wants the
nomination.
We do not believe he will get it. Hum-
phrey seems the most likely choice, par-
ticularly if the Democrats believe thev
are going to have to mix it with Gold-
water and Dirksen.

Most of the experts will still tell you
that the Democrats are bound to win
with Johnson If you are a betting man
on politics, however, go easy. You could
wind up broke if you follow this line of
reasoning.
U may not he our liking but our
prediction is Goldwater on the first roll
call and aftei that watch the fur fly be-
tween then and November. Goldwater
could scuttle Johnson’s ship like he did
Rockefeller’s.
Church Growth
Meadow brook Baptist Church is cele-
brating its tenth anniversary this Sun-
Jay It is time to extend congratulations
and it is a good time to think of the pro-
gress that has been made by all the
churches of Rockdale in the past ten
n twelve years.
Ten years ago there was only one Bap-
tist church in Rockdale, the First Bap-
tist As industry moved in and Rock-
dale began to grow, church population
increased, too. The Meadowbrook Bap-
tist Church was horn ten years ago and
today both Meadowbrook and First Bap-
tist are bigger and better churches than
the one church was hack in 1954.
In addition there are several smaller
Baptist churches.
What has happened in this denomina-
tion has happened in others. There has
been growth. A new Presbyterian
Church has come into being during this
period. Most other churches have built
new church plants or have plants in pro-
gress.
Truly Rockdale churches have made
great progress in the past ten years and
as we pause to pay trihutf to Meadow-
brook on its tenth anniversary, let us
also pay tribute to all the other fine
churches of Rockdale
What's Wrong?
What is wrong with the way 1 do it?
What is wrong with bumping a curb in
parking? It makes the wheelbase shorter
on one side and throws the front wheels
out of line, making control of the car
difficult.
What is wrong with pushing a car in
second or low gear? High gear will throw
less strain on the transmission
What is wrong with parking on a hill
crest? Drivers approaching from the op-
posite directions cannot sec each other
There are dozens of ways to do a bettei
job of driving Keep asking yourself
“Wha! ; v. To! will th< wa\- j d< it'.*"
And while you are in a whole piece while
away a little time finding out why the
way you do it, is wrong -Floyd Tippitt,
Highway Patrolman, Department Public
Safety.

Leave the dog alone during

alarmed. The pet isn't “mad”
and it won't bile.
Should the dog recover,
prognosis is apt to be poor.
The animal may be paralized.
retarded or develop a perma-
nent muscle twitch.
tor preventative protection
your dog should be immuniz-
ed while it is still young. Dis-
temper is most prevalent and
seven in puppies. Most vets
prefer to vaccinate dogs at the*
age of six to eight weeks.
Although it is not as wide-
spread and common as dis-
temper, infectious hepatitis is
just as deadly Usually this
disease strikes young dogs, so
»arl.v immunization is impor-
tant Vaccinations are perma-
nent.
Some apparent symptoms of
infectious hepatitis are a sev-
ere lassitude or drowsiness,
lack of appetite, high tempera-
ture and tenderness in the
abdomen in the region of the
last rib.
Infectious hepatitis is most
prevalent, in dogs from six
weeks old to a year, it is
highly contagious.
