Tiresome Topic Once again I received word from an irate home owner in this vicinity concerning man's so-called best friend. It seems this resident has been having a terrible time with dogs running loose. This is a most tiresome topic as I have written about it time and time again, but I quess some people just don't heed the advice about keeping their dogs home. As this resident stated, people who disturb the peace and destroy property are liable to arrest but dogs seem to have an immunity. So please dog owners let's not cause anymore problems for our neighbors and keep your canine pets in their own yards.

Installation and Initiation The juvenile members of the W.C.O.F. will meet in the Community club next Sunday, April 7, from 5 to 7:30 p.m. by i Emerson It was ^espeare who in reference to the human body spoke in part of "too, too solid flesh." Actually, a good part of our earthly body is made up of nothing more solid than water. In fact, the organism of an adult being consists of 70 per cent water; and a loss of, say, 15 per cent of this vital fluid would be fatal. Water is not a simple chemical compound due to a wide range of hydrogen and oxygen atoms. Ordinary water, for example, is a mixture of 18 different kinds of water, ranging from the lightest known to the heavier waters which may prove in time to have noteworthy effect on the rate of aging or mankind's scourge-- cancer. It might be noteworthy to add that efficient filling of prescriptions, using the finest drugs on the market, is a specialty at MILLSTREAM DRUGS, INC., 8720 West Elm -- Jewel Shopping Plaza. Try us.

Dramatic changes have been made in Ford, too. Big change in comfort--new 1t million dollar ride. The wheels of ordinary cars move only up and down as they hit bumps. But ride improvements, including a new suspension system (development cost: $10,000,000), allow Ford wheels to move backwards, too. Result: Ford smothers road shock far more effectively. You'll find Ford hugs the road better--even at high speeds, in strong winds or over rough roads--giving you a remarkably stable, comfortable ride. k special quality program at our Chicago assembly plant fiat made today s Fords the most solid and durable ever built. Typical ot the new durability of our Fords is the way they are protected against rust. Vital steel underbody areas are galvanized--making them twice as resistant to corrosive salts and road splash as ordinary steel. Underbody areas are also protected with a coating of zinc-rich primer. And the entire body--inside and out --is coated with zinc phosphate-- further protection against rust! There's less fuss," more fun to driving with new Ford features. Entering a Ford is easier--with our exclusive Swing-Away steering wheel.* Taking care of a Ford la easier--thanks to our twice-a-year (or every 6,000-mile) maintenance schedule. Exclusive vinyl upholstery is specially treated to resist soiling. Opening and shutting doors or windows is easier--with Ford's new "bear-hug" door latches and crankvent windows. • You can see and feel Ford's now quality for yourself,, Sit in a '63 Ford and press your hand up on the ceiling. You'll feel thick insulation--one third moreinsulatiotf than on America's other best-selling car.
