Progress in science has not been without opposition.
Ignorance, superstition, and reluctance to accept the
new frequently have impeded advance. Use of an
anesthetic to ease the pain of childbirth was once
decried by a clergyman, who called it a decoy of Satan.
An eminent physician rejected the explanation of
childbed fever when it was revealed that unclean hands
of attendants spread the disease. Jenner, Lister, and
others endured crushing ridicule and criticism. The vast
assortment of life-giving drugs available today repre-
sents the contributions of the world’s great medical
scientists, past and present—enduring monuments to
their courage, conviction, and intellect.

The La Grange Journal
La Grange, Texas
Attention: Mr. L. A. Duewall
Dear Sir:
In the past years I have often
been prompted to express my
opinion on some of the material
in th La Grange Journal but as
we humans so often do, we pro-
mise ourselves we will do it to-
morrow and tomorrow we are
too busy to remember yester-
day’s promise; this time I am
keeping my promise even
though it is ten tomorrows la-
ter. /
First, I’ve always read the La
Grange Journal; sometimes it
was second-handed and a great
many times months old when I
was moving about in the South-
west Pacific during World War
H. During the last 10 years,
however, I’ve only been three
days or so behind in the news
from Fayette County.
Secondly, I’ve always enjoye^l
keeping abreast with the news
back home and moreso in recent
years. I feel the Journal has
come up to a level it heretofore
never achieved and one enviable
of many metropolitan dallies.
The service your paper has
rendered Fayette County is in-
estimable and I know all too of-
ten It is a thankless service.
Perhaps It is easier for the per-
son who sits on the sideline, so
to speak, to see more vividly
what is going on in the arena
whereas the Individuals in the
arena are too busy with what-
ever occupies their immediate
attention to be aware of the
overall situation-
I do not know how many sub-
scribers you have outside of the
Fayette County area but to this
one such articles as the one en-
titled “Voice at the Crossroads’’
are partidularly interesting; the ’
"Editorial Column’’ and the
news from all the small com-
munities In Fayette County is
wonderful.
Since 1942, this subscriber has
been in Fayette County a total
of about two months but I spent
21 years of my youth there; it

I’m very proud of it.
a necessity as well as interest-
aunt,

away and it was impossible _for
me to attend personally-
message of her departure
tardy and it was necessary
act promptly. Several issues of
the Journal were still arotind
and we found the advertisement
for Koenig’s Funeral Home.
Thinking my aunt’s body might
be there, we called the funeral
home. The funeral home order-
ed the flowrs for me in La
Grange thereby saving me the
expense of a telegram to a flor-
ist which would not have gotten
the flowers there in time for the
funeral. Living in a city the size
of Louiseville, you learn not to
expect such favors; therefore
my wife and I were deeply
greateful to Koenig’s for the
service they renderd us and to
Muellers Flower Shop for hand-
ling the order- In the busy
world we live in, it is gratifying
to know that there are still
those among us who can stop
long enough to do a favor for
his fellow man.
This letter Is written to let
you know that your newspaper
Is appreciated by me and by my
family here. My mother, Mrs.
Eleanora Manske of Oldenburg,
Texas is an avid reader of the
Journal and has always seen
that I received every issue
your paper.
Yours very truly,

We have no way of knowing, of course, how many
different makes of motor cars this gentleman has
owned through the years.
But we’re willing to bet that he has now made
his lasl switch in motor carsl
For this time it’s a Cadillac! And it is historically
true that once a motorist makes the move to the
“car of cars”, he is usually a Cadillac owner for life.
What are the reasons for this great devotion
and loyalty? Well, let us count them off.
First of all, there are the things which everyone
recognizes in Cadillac. There is its great beauty
.. . its matchleks luxury . . . and the unquestioned
respect which the car commands the world over.
Then there are those qualities with which any-
one who has ever driven a Cadillac is familiar.
There is its marvelous comfort and ease of han-
dling ... its magnificent power and performance
. . . and its wonderful balance and agility.
And, finally, there are those things which only
Cadillac owners themselves can fully appreciate.
There is the car’s remarkable economy of oper-
ation and upkeep—its incredible longevity—and
its marvelous resale value.
♦ ♦ •
Indidentally, you will find that we have recently
made two additions to this list of things you get
when you make your decision for Cadillac.
We’re talking about prompt delivery and
generous trade-in allowance!
Better come in while the circumstances are so
favorable—and make your last switch in motor carsl
