“What is the origin of the Ca-
duceus, emblem of the medical
profession?”
The staff topped by two wings
and entwined with two snakes
evolved from the staff of Aesculapi-
us, the Greek god of healing. It is
also identified with the messenger
of the gods, Hermes in Greek myth-
ology, Mercury in the Roman.

Calling a car a hot performer is one thing. Proving it is an]
Torino GT performance speaks for itself. Just how loud if
you—with six V-8 choices, from a standard 302 V-8 up to the!
Cobra Jet Ram-Air. (When this one talks, others listen.)
Torino GT shows it’s heir apparent to the 1968 NASCAR1
champ. Special handling suspension. Wide-oval tires. Comp*
style wheels. Stripes. The works. In SportsRoof, 2-door hardta
convertible models. And then there’s Cobra. All muscle atI
low I AW
In all, you have 16 different ways to go in Ford’s intermedia!
from the hissing-hot Cobra to the handsome new Fairlanesl ||
one a winner. Visit your Ford Deal-
er’s Performance Corner soon. -rr>rYiKiO

THE GREATEST BOOK the world.MM
has ever known is the Bible. This fact is demonstraS
sales--it is the world’s best seller. There are 3 basM
why the Bible is the world’s greatest book. (1) The Bflj
world’s greatest book because of its ORIGIN — it js J
“All scripture is inspired of God” (2 Tim. 3:16), (2) The!
the greatest book ever written becauseof its content - -I
the origin, purpose and destiny of man, and the Savi
Christ. (3). Finally, the Bible is the greatest book ev<
because of its unity - having been written by some 4(
men in different parts of the world, over a period of i
years, and without contradiction. But, can we understand!
God has written the Bible to be understood. “The entrar
words giveth light; it giveth UNDERSTANDING unto thi
(Ps. 119:130). “Whereby, when ye read, ye may UNDERS
knowledge in the mystery of Christ” (Eph. 3:4). “Where!
not unwise, but UNDERSTANDING what the will of the
(Eph. 5:17). Yes, we CAN understand the Bible. Can we u
the Bible ALIKE? I suggest to you that if we UNDERST
BIBLE, we WILL understand it ALIKE. “Now I beseech
thren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye a
THE SAME THING, and that there be no divisions amon
that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind a
same judgment” (1 Cor. 1:10). “God is NOT the authoi
fusion” (1 Cor. 14:33). “Behold, how good and how pie:
for brethren to dwell together in UNITY” (Ps. 133:1).
word produces unity — not confusion. When we disagree,
origin of man, it is because one or both of us do not uh®
the Bible. When we disagree on man’s purpose herfyg
place of eternal life, it is for the same reason. When we di
on the plan of salvation, or on what the church is, it is|
same reason - - one or both of us do NOT understand ml
The word of God is the ONLY basis for unity and comm!
DERSTANDING. This article is the first in a series onB
Study them and keep them for future reference. Godl
plan for unity, which is revealed in His Word, which, we fl
derstand. We will have several more articles base®

are always welcome!____________________

us a start to see the
boats from Red China
their pictures of Mao on
mast. We were only about
30 minute drive from Red
China.
One day we devoted to sight-
seeing. We went to the top of
Victoria Peak and looked out
over the city. We saw the re-
fugee shacks along the sides
of the mountains. This is sup-
posedly the “World of Suzie
Wong” where her baby was
killed in the landside. We ate
in a floating restaurant a
Aberdeen, the fishing section
of Hong Kong and had Canton-
ese prepared seafood. You
should try foo yung sometime.
It’s delicious! You can pick your
own lobster and they are huge!
For our nightlife we tried
some of Hong Kong’s fabulous
restaurants. We ate in the
Chinese Madarin Theater res-
taurant. It was elaborately de-
corated in the Mandarin style
and we had a six course
Chinese dinner. We had every
thing from shark fin soup
(which is delicious) to cream-
ed sweetened peanut. During
the ritual we were entertained
by a little Chinese opera. This
type of opera is interesting
and colorful but a little hard
on the ears. The other nights
we went to the San Francisco
Steak House and had genuine
Iowa corn fed steak. We miss
this in Bangkok.
Hong Kong currency is also
called dollars and cents. One
HK dollar is about 17? US.
This was hard to grasp at first.

Bob Hope was back again
and our Christmas holidays
were spent running about the
country with this grand gentle-
man. It was an experience that
we will probably cherish the
rest of our lives.
Mr. Hope wasin Bangkok
for eight days this year and
played shows in Thailand and
Vitenam during this time.
Diane‘traveled with them again
as wardrobe mistress and
consequently has many “wild
tales” about the backstage life
of the “stars.”
Mr. Hope’s main attraction
this year was Ann Margret, a
red haired actress that made
it big in “Bye Bye Birdie”
several years ago. She is a
beautiful woman with the
personality to match. One of
the highlights of my job this
year was escorting her to the
bridge over the river Kwai.She
was excited over the trip to
the bridge and was genuinely
moved at the site where so
many soldiers lost their lives
years ago. Her husband, Roger
Smith, was also along. You
may remember him as “Mr.
Roberts” on TV or in
Sunset Strip.” He is a
pleasant fellow. Ann Margret’s
performance drove the troops
wild! She sang, danced and
did a comedy routine with Hope, paganda literature and
They loved her! (So did I).
Rosie Grier, former pfo-
fessional football player
turned rock singer, was on
the tour. He is a big fellow,
6’7” and 300 pounds! He was
with Bobby Kennedy when he
was assasinated. He
“hard rock” and was
well received.
Penelope Plummer,
World, was along. She is
lovely Australian girl that did
not sing or dance. But, who
cared? Linda Bennett, a very
beautiful singer, and
Honey LTD, a Detroit
rock group, added to the show.
In addition, twelve girl dancers
and singers called the Gold-
diggers added to the troop
appeal of the show.
A former Olympic champion
trampoline artist named Dick
Albers was also on the show.
He has a comic trampoline act
that he presents in nightclubs
in the States. He was
standing.
Diane-and I made
good friends again this year
and were glad to welcome back
the ones from the year before.
The technicians, production
staff and band are all a
fantastically devoted group
of people. Many of them have
been with Mr. Hope as long as
16 years!
I hope all of you in Paducah
saw his show on the 16th of
January. They were all grand
and he certainly left thousands
of GI’s saying, “Thanks for the
Memories!”
Portions of this city are
straight out of an Oriental
spy thriller and parts are like
San Francisco. Tall sky-
scrapers and modern hotels
spill down the sides of the
mountains ending at the bay. It
is a split city; Hong Kong on
the island and Klwloon on the
mainland. Diane and I return-
ed from a five day visit to this
fabulous city in November and
thoroughly enjoyed every
moment.
What makes Hong Kong
fabulous?
First, the shopping. Hong
Kong is a duty free port, thus
causing all prices to be very
low. Diane spent a large portion
of her time shopping and taking
advantage of all the bargains.
Wigs, linens, beaded cashmere
sweathers and pearls compris-
ed a large portion of her
shopping list. A long hand tied
human hair wig runs about$23.
Cashmere sweaters are about
$7. I had a suit made for $60.
This gives a pretty good in-
dication of the prices. On
most items you buy you have
to get a certificate of origin
stating that it was not manu-
factured in Communist China.
There were many communist
Chinese stores where you
could buy busts of Mao, pro-
his
little “red book.” It would give
little

Local Ladies
Attend Plainview
Cancer Meet
Mrs. L. L. Goodwin, Mrs.
Jessie Thomas and Mrs. John
representing the Cottle County
Unit of the American Cancer
Society in the Jan. 29 district
crusade meeting held in Plain
view, attended group sessions
which outlined ways to reach
more people during the April
educational and fund raising
crusade. Forty five workers
were present.
E. A. Sanders of Childress
and Mrs. Louis Cummings of
Plainview directed the training
for the crusade and publicity
chairmen. The house to house
session was chaired by Mrs.
Donald Moore, Plainview and
Royce Kelly, Lubbock, in-
structed the special gifts
and business workers.
Dr. Donald Moore, Plainview
said, “The Society’s research
investment in Texas is over
$1,154,000.” He explained that
13 per cent more money is
actually being spent on re-
search, education and service
than was raised in Texas last
year. The extra money spent in
Texas is due to large sums al-
located by the ACS national
program of research to Texas
institutions.
The delegates were told by
Dr. Irvin Gaynor, Plainview,
“The ACS is beginning to win-
the 1,500,000 Americans alive
today, who once had cancer
and are cured, these are
measure of how far we 1
come in the battle
cancer.”
Presiding at the morning
session was Cass Wheeler of
Dallas.
Accomplishments during
1968 were reviewed were:
Some 7,546 cancer patients
were served by volunteer
transportation, dressings, sick
room equipment and gift items.
More than 1,250,000 people
were reached in the public
education programs' of film
showings and physician
speakers. An additional 3,
970,000 viewed educational ex-
hibits. Educational messages
and programs carried by the
media numbered 7,319,000.
Nineteen tumor clinics with
a total of 94,427 cases
supported as of Sept. 1.
Clinical fellowships
awarded to 15 physicians and
dentists to promote interest
and research in the cancer
field.
In the medical and allied
health profession programs, an
audience of 34,124 were reach-
ed.
