THE COTULLA RECORD
FRIDAY, OCTOBER ’0, 1947
He bends iron bars like hairpins. He makes confetti
out of telephone books. He tosses bar-bells around
like paper-weights. He’s terrific! He's colossal! He’s
the strongest man in the world!
But not even the Mighty Moko—with all that
fabulous strength—can do as much work in a day as
4c worth of electricity!
Truly, giants leap to your bidding every time you
flip a switch—willing electric giants ready to take
the burden of hard work from you. Ready to help
you sew and cook and clean—to guard your food—
to make life easier, healthier, more comfortable for
all your family.
And these giants work for the lowest wages in
history! Never has electricity done so many tasks—
for so little cost—as it does for you today.

PNEUMONIA DEATHS
TOO HIGH REPORTS
STATE HEARTH OFFICER
Austin, (Jet. 8 According to Dr
Geo. W. Cox, State Health Officer,
pneumonia caused approximately
2,460 deaths during the past yeai in
Texas, a total which is entirely too
h gh. This disease is most prev 1
ent during the winter and spring
seasons.
Pneumonia is'caused hy a germ call-
ed pneumococcus, which many of us
have lurking in our throats ready
to start touble, when our resistence
to it is lowered. We c- n keep up our
resistance hy avoiding undue fatigue
and unnecessary exposure to extreme
weather conditions. When we go
outside in cold weather sufficient
wraps should he worn to protect us.
Keeping the temperature of our homes
as low as is consistent with comfort
will greatly lessen the difficult e
encountered in adjusting ourselves to
the cold when we leave the house.
Another method of prevention in
pneumonia is not to neglect a cold,
fur the common cold often results in
' pneumoflia when neglected. A person
with a severe cold should stay ai
home, and call his physician for ad-
vice if temperature persists or the
cold lingers on. He should follow
his physician's advice until the cold
has disappeared. A patient may real-
ly have beginning pneumonia when he
thinks it is only a cold. If the phy-
sician’s advice is sought, he will have
an opportunity to start treatment
early in pneumonia is present, or de-
velops in such cases.

Russian Opinion
The following excerpts from a
Russian radio broadcast made on
August 9, 1947. furnish an elegant,
eloquent sample of the spurious and
vituperative kind of thinking which
Communists are nurturing. This lec-
ture was entitled “The American
Film.”
“Only very seldom does the
American filn^ represent the true
condition of the American people ...
Films representing real life are get-
ting increasingly rare in America.
The reactionaries are oppressing ev-
erybody and everything . . .
“The American film world is ruled
by people who should really be sent
to the electric chair as criminals.
The film “Wander My Way” is noth-
ing but a trap. A young priest is
fishing for souls with lyrics and re-
ligious song . . The film idealizes
a boarding-house keeper who lets
his rooms cheaply. In reality this
man is a blood sucker.
“Class distinctions and the
class struggle could be repre-
sented in films, but this is not
done. Hollywood educates the
Americans to be dishonest, self-
ish and hard-hearted.
“The Stone Age and its ideas are
! reigning in the American film. Ev-
| erything free, genuine and progres-
sive is immediately liquidated . .
The aims of the American film in-
dustry are scoundrelly and crimi-
1 nal.”
FOOD:
Still Had
Herbert Hoover, who has had as
much experience in administering
! food to a starving world as anyone,
announced his own four-point plan
i for relieving the food shortage
which he predicted will be as bad
; next year as it was in 1945.
In an era of four-point plans,
i Hoover’s program sounded pretty
| much like what Americans have
been hearing from any number of
experts for the past several months.
1 He urged American farmers to
1. give preference to feeding hu-j
mans, not animals.
He advocated a voluntary re-
• duction of food consumption,
j "5 He stressed the need for full co-
i "O' operation by surplus countries
i and elimination of black markets in
deficit countries.
I He urged that U. S exports be
( •• handled in such a way as to
keep prices down and halt specula-
| tion.
In the meantime, President Tru-
man was awaiting a report from his
special cabinet food study commit-
tee which was trying to figure out
how the U. S. could step up its ex-
ports without giving prices at home
another shot in the arm. The ques-
tion of whether or not a special ses-
sion of congress would be called
was hanging in the balance.
ODD LOTS
AT LAST: A ship sailed sheep-
ishly from Baltimore harbor carry-
ing 8,565 tons of coal to Newcastle.
HIGH STRUNG: Mrs. Regina
Wright, 21, was granted a divorce
from her husband, Russell Wright

LOW GAL ON A TOTEM POLE . . . This should be quite a shock to a
lot ot he-men who like to expand their muscles. The girl on the
bottom, supporting the stack of human poundage without ap;i.ircnt
effort, is Beverly Jocher of Santa Monica, Calif. Product of Santa
Monica's renowned "Muscle Beach,” she is only 10 years old.
Advert errs
From where I sit .. A// Jos Marsh
Doc Walters gave me this for-
mula: It’s a sure-fire sign you're
getting old when you resent other
people having a good time.
And the Doc means it hasn’t
much to do with age. There are old
folks in our town who get a big
kick out of seeing other people en-
joy themselves — seems to keep
them young in spirit, with a
twinkle in their eyes!’
And there are some others who
resent the young folks going fish-
ing: who feel that community
games and dances are just a waste
of time; or who criticize temperate
people for enjoying a mellow giass
of beer with friends.
They’re often well-intentioned
folks, too. But from where I sit. the
minute we criticize our neighbors
for enjoying wholesome pleasures
— like a game of horseshoes, a
glass of beer, or an afternoon’s
fishing—it’s a sure sign we’re
growing old (in spirit anyway) no
matter what our age is.

How to Tell
You're Getting Old
; of West Allis, Wis., on grounds of
I cruelty when she testified that he
; arose* at 5 a. m. to iron and scrub
| the floors and her nerves just
j wouldn’t stand it.
DEBUNK: Sick and tired of being
accused of instigating so many
nightmares, the National Pickle as-
sociation righteously quoted the Na-
tional Dairy council to the effect
that the old theory about pickles and
ice cream not mixing is “a product
of lurid imagination.”
400,000 JOBS:
Everyone ff orks
Full employment remained a real-
ity in August.
The department of labor reported
that the nation’s economic machine
picked up 400.000 new jobs n August
“right on schedule” to keep employ-
ment in the U. S. at a peak level
Actually, the number of non-farm
employes hit a new 1947 high in
August Weekly earnings stayed
around a record $49.25 average, un-
employment dropped and strike*
were reduced in number.
It vas still ponderable how long
this favorable situation could or
would last, but most recent predic-
tions failed to foresee any kind of
depression in 1947.
Cooking Enriches Food
Dc .otees of raw vegetables and
other “rabbit” food took a blow in
the mid-section from the Amencan
Chemical society, which announced
that recent experiments hav*
proved that cooking, instead of de-
vttalizin.fi foods, actually increase*
vit.imin content of some of them.
The society stated that “nothing
in modern nutrition justifies our
being condemned to the grass eating
fate of Nebuchadnezzar ”
ihk day is clear and fresh and
spiced with autumn’s tang.
Somewhere there’s a friendly little
road where Nature has done her
gorgeous best with scarlets and
golds of her own special blending.
It’s a moment to be prized — to be
seized — to be implanted forever
in memory’s book; so slip into this
one and make the most of it.
Reach forward and touch the con-
trol that swings hack the top — on a
day like this, you’ll want to be one
with 4he air and the sky and the
sparkling sunshine.
For a windscreen, lift the handy
button that rolls up the door win-
dow — to adjust the front seat to
your liking, touch a third automatic
control, and you’re all set.
Gun the motor. Eight Fireball
cylinders answer that they’re ready
for anything you are.
Swing the wheel. Light and sure as
your finger, it lets you know that
a hand’s weight is enough on this
firm but feathery helm.
Steal a glance at your reflection
in a passing store window. You’ll •
find you look as you feel, bright and
gay as this wonderful day.
Seek out a rough spot, just for test
purposes. Your soft coil springs
are alert on the job, soaking up the
rough spots; ample inches and
abundant roadweight are here to
keep your going level and true.
You’ve got everything you need for
a wonderful time, so go ahead. Let
your cares slip away in the breeze
you stir up. Drink in refreshment
for soul and spirit, for mind and
nerves.
For that’s why we build this
Convertible.
For the fun it can bring you through
the seasons. For sunny days and
bright blue weather — for gorgeous
days to come, when all outdoors
beckons you to enjoy the pleasures
of the open road.
Why don’t you plan now to have
one for your own?
It may take a little waiting,
but just as surely as autumn
follows summer, and winter ^
blossoms into spring, this
car of cars can be yours,
if you place an order now
— with or without a car
to trade.
