Duke Gets His Tractor
Duke Thomas bought a farm with
the money he’d saved in the Serv-
ice, but he couldn’t get a tractor.
He needed it badly, but was tenth
on the local dealer’s list.
“Tell you what,” old man Peters
says. “If those nine fellows ahead
of you agree, you’ll get the next
one I get in.” “No, thanks,” says
Duke, “I’ll just take my turn.”
But old Peters mails out nine
postcards. And the other day he
tells Duke his tractor will be in
next week. “ I simply wrote the
facts to the fellows ahead of you.
They decided it.”
From where I sit, it’s that spirit
of understanding that helps make
our democracy so great. Under-
standing for the other fellow’s
problems and respect for the other
fellow’s rights — whether it’s his
right to earn a living, his right to
cast his vote against your candi-
date, or even, his right to enjoy a
moderate, friendly glass of beer os-
ale—if and when he chooses. Let’s
always keep it that way!

BASIC SCIENCE
MEDICAL BILL
IS OPPOSED
Dr. L. George Grupe of San An-
gelo, vice-president of the Interna-
tional Chiropractors Association,
charged here today that enactment
of a basic science bill now pending
in the Texas Legislature would give
the State Medical Association a
“life and death” grip on all forms
of treatment used by practitioners
of the healing arts.
“The Basic Science Bill is still
just as unsatisfactory to the people
of Texas now as it was two years
ago, four years ago, or six years
ago,” Dr. Grupe said.
“The State Medical Association
is desperate this year to establish
a medical monopoly—so desperate

that it has cloaked its usual legis-
lation in a new name in an effort
to deceive the people.”
He pointed' out that the legisla-
tion the medical association is seek-
ing is called a minimum standards
ict this year.
“It is the sameYlasic Science bill
;he people of Texas through their
representatives in the Legislature
lave rejected time and time again.
“The State Medical Association
is still demanding that practitioners
if all healing arts approach the
question of disease, causation and
correction from the same point of
view—that all should be masters of
certain medical subjects from all
allopathic point of view.
“The chiropractor does not, and
never has, claimed to be a general
practitioner of medicine. He is a
specialist, who believes that many
ailments originate in the nervous
system of the spine and can be cor-
rected by adjustments.
“Requiring chiropractors to be
proficient in certain allopath(medi-
cal subjects, many of them in no
wise related to ailments originating
in the spine—such as the basic sci-
ence bill proposes—is like requir-
ing a newspaperman to appear'be-
fore a board of radio announcers
and pass a voice test before he be-
comes qualified to write a news
story or an editorial.
“Members of the State Medical
Association claim they are interest-
ed in passage of a basic science bill
because many inefficient practition-
ers would be eliminated.
“The sincerity of the Medical As-
sociation’s interest in health stand-
ards can be judged by the fact that
chiropractors of Texas have pre-
sented the chiropractic minimum
standards bill each session for a
number of years to set up high edu-
cational standards for their profes-
sion, but that their efforts to pro-
tect the public have been thwarted
on each occasion by the selfish op-
position of the State Medical As-
sociation.
“Make no mistake about it, these
leaders of allopathic medicine want
to rule the roost and tell every
Texan—’We know what’s best for
you. You go to the doctor we tell
you to go to or remain sick.’ ”
Dr. Grupe said the chiropractors
have the highest educational stand-
ards for their limited field of prac-
tice of any professional group and
again this year are attempting to
pass a chiropractic minimum stand-
ards bill to compel all chiropractors
to meet high standards of educa-
tional qualifications.
“On the other hand, if there are
any incompetent allopath medical
practitioners—and the State Allo-
pathic Medical Association in its
latest propaganda admits there are
—then the obvious step is for all
the allopaths to take corrective ac-
tion in their own field, like the
chiropractors are attempting to do
in theirs.
“The State Allopathic Medical
Association, however, is apparent-
ly not interested in cleaning its
own house. For the basic science
bill specifically exempts its mem-
bers from provisions of the bill.”

DODGE DEALER
ATTENDS SHOW
OF DODGE CARS
Henry Balusek, of Balusek Mo-
tors in Refugio, has returned from
Galveston where he attended a deal-
er preview of the completely new-
styled Dodge cars, the first models
of which will be publicly displayed
in his dealership on Friday, Feb-
ruary 25. Mr. Balusek was ac-
companied by Louis Balusek and
Verhon Young. Mr. Balusek said
that although detailed information
of the new Dodge could not be re-
vealed prior to the public showing,
there are certain general facts con-
cerning the comfort-engineering
story behind the new Dodge styling
that can be disclosed at this time.
“The primary considerations that
influenced the design of the new
Dodge were Army statistics which
showed that the G.I.’s of World
War II were taller, bigger, and
more active than their predecessors
of World War I,” Mr. Balusek said.
“As a result, it was apparent that
more passenger room, not less, was
required in the modern automobile
to comfortably accommodate our
physically larger generation.”
Mr. Balusek pointed out that the
challenge to Dodge engineers was
to design a car with more interior
space and still reduce exterior di-
mensions to eliminate difficulties
of handling in traffic, parking, and
garaging.
To learn how Dodge succeeded
in meeting this challenge and at the
same time produced a car with an
entirely new and distinctive styling,
Mr.,Balusek cordially invites every-
body to his gala open house on Feb,
ruary 25.
