PUPPY LOVE WINS
you can believe that “Every dog has his day”,
least this ancient proverb, acquired by our colonial an-
from their British forebears — who borrowed it from

safe, effective immunization against distemper —
m’s greatest killer — is finally available. In the new
ied live-virus vaccine known as Tissuvax D-H, man’s
friend has what might well be considered the canine
alent of Salk polio vaccine!
least it is produced by the same technique — the tissue-
re method — and includes modified live-virus of canine
tious hepatitis to provide double protection in a single
. R. V. Johnston, head of the Pitman-Moore veterinary
cine department, assures dog-lovers that a much small-
ot of the new vaccine provides on the average 50 times
immunity-producing antibodies of the earlier egg-pro-
d vaccines. The smaller dose is a result of eliminatin;:.

seen how brave their little friend is, they will be as-
ed to even squeak when they have to face the needle
selves! In these times, every youngster has his day, too.
SONIC BOOM
>st Americans will be astonished and many may feel
;rated to learn that as of now’ in this land-of-the-free
home-of-the-brave one person in six (actually slightly
» than that) plavs some musical instrument regularly!
a result, the sale of musical instruments has soared
$81 million in 1939 to $220 million in 1949 and more than
led in the next decade to reach $502 million, over half
lion, in 1959!
y this has happened, perhaps no one knows. But we
d expect as shrewd a guess as any from Fred Gretsch,
third generation head of the musical instrument firm
ied by his immigrant grandfather in 1883 and who be-
ibsorbing news and views of the music trade with what-
it was they used for pablum in those days. At ten. young
began working in the family factory on Saturdays,
ng phonograph needles, and has since taken time out
to Cornell and to fight World War II, from which he
ged with a commander's stripes and a distinguished
;e citation from Admiral Nimitz.
> general do-it-yourself “cultural explosion” that has
taking place in all the arts, and which Mr. Gretsch
as a logical result of the shorter work week that has
ded the leisure needed for creative expression, has sim-
een set to music. This is reflected, he points out, in the
symphony orchestras composed of community neighbors
were reported last year — one third of them in cities
ss than 50.000 and nearly ten percent in cities of less
10,000.
e greatest single factor, however, in leading America
ird and upward, if you ask Fred Gretsch. is the school
_ of w’hich there are presently 47,000 with 26,000
>1 orchestras besides! Our youngsters, he says, arc being
duced to music earlier in life — both at home and in
)1_ and are getting better instruction. Of our 31 mil-
ameteur musicians (65 percent more than in 1950), nine
on are still in grade school! Thus, if you think this up-
; in welkin-ringing is a passing phase, you might as
take to the woods now.
better idea, we think .and doubtless Mr. Gretsch would
?, would be to get the beat and start to work — whether
he harmonica, like Ike: the French horn, like Debbie
lolds or the drums a la Bill Holden. A player is an or-
tra, we are told, doesn't hear the others.
SMOKE SIGNALS
insumers being rugged individuals when it comes to
anal preferences, it perhaps is no wonder that the cig-
,e market has undergone vast changes to cater to
rer’s taste.
tong the forty or so brands on store shelves last year,
i U. S. smokers consumed a record-breaking 453 bil- ;
ugarettes, there were at least half a dozen basic types
r&riotics*
ter brands, which accounted for slightly more than half
ver-all total sales, come in medium and high filtration
i with either paper or vegetable fibre filters, or a corn-
ion of the two. Menthols now are available with or
jut filters and with medium or light amounts of that
f embellishment. Straight cigarettes sell in both reg-
and king size.
rious types of packages help provide an additional area
lection. Included is a unique new type slide-type case
being test marketed in many areas.

You will perhaps have some ar-
ticle in your newspaper about
the annual Kerbow family get-
together at the American Legion
hall in Cooper this week.
As a Pecan Gap ex-student un-
der A. M. Sprinkle, chairman of
the Kerbow clan reunion, it
was my pleasure to visit him and
others of the Kerbow families
at this meeting. Thirty-eight
eight years makes a lot of dif-
ference in seeing former friends
fc-r the first time since high
school!
This letter may be used any
way you desire, and it is meant
to be a kind of honoring gesture
or tribute to Mr. Albert Sprink-
le from one like myself no doubt
Representing a lot of his ex-stu-
dents at various schools and lo-
calities. We saw him struggle to
attain the higher education
needed to do what his mission
in life is — teach with and for
the respect of fellow teachers,
students and parents. He did that
in the grandest way. His human
understanding in our day when
the head of the school system
had to be everything, coach,
counselor; teach and take part
in whatever was doing in the
community. His is the kind who
"went down town” if necessary
to straighten out some little mis-
understanding that might have
threatened our activities.
Pointing back to Mr. Sprink-
le’s accomplishments in his field,
as with others of his and our
day, lots of times families grew
up where it was 15 or 20 miles
to the nearest high schcol with
something like Sulphur River
with no bridge in between. It
is much easier now for any aver-
age child to gain a college de-
gree than it was then to finish
high school!
I am not of the Kerbow Clan.
In a family of 10 I was born on
the County Line near Pecan Gap.
This bunch of kids lived from the
Gay Nineties to the Roaring
Twenties, and as our offspring
say now. we reckon we are in the
aging sixties. It is a real pleas-
ure to return among friends af-
ter so many years.
If not making this too long,
and still writing about A. M.
Sprinkle's strength in determina-
tion. at the Reunion wfe heard
about his late start in life start-
ing to got what he wanted out of
higher education and degrees. He
saw how the late Murry Fly of
Odessa got his sheepskin and re-
marked "... I can do that too.”
As in everything he did. we
can look back now and see how
he would take the nucleus of an
athletic team and say we are go-
ing to do so and so . . . and just
do it. These are the things we
like to point to in appreciation
of a man who helped do some-
thing. It is written because no
doubt many men and women
who were boys and girls in his
day might notice this and heart-
The Woman’s Society of Chris-
tian Service of the Ben Fanklin
Methodist Church met in the
home of Mrs. J. W. White on
August 1.
The meeting was opened with
the hymn "What A Friend", fol-
lowed with prayer by Mrs D
Moore Jr. Mrs. M. C. Hays di-
rected the program on “ Walk-
ing In The Light, The Christian
Use of Leisure." The call to wor-
ship. scripture readings from
Isaiah 30:15. 26:3-4. and the med-
itation on “Listen To The Moun-
tains” was given by Mrs Hays.
Those assisting on the program
were Mrs. G. N. Lay, Mrs. W W.
Marsh and Mrs. Moore. The
meeting was closed with the
hymn "Walk In The Light” and
the benediction.
The hostess served refresh-
ments to eight members.

Corvair’s engineering came in for the first raves when the editors
of Motor Trend magazine unanimously selected it Car of the

Institute awarded Corvair (through General

excellence. But even these honors, impressive
as they are, can’t compare with the enthusi-
