dent. The secretary, Mrs. A. J.

bute $10 to the United Kuiul drive.
Mrs. Bob Dickson was elected into
the club
Mrs. Custer Knox, program
chairman, introdced the guest ar-
tist for the day, Mrs Bob Dickson
She reviewed the book, "That Cer-
tain Something, The Magic of
Charm." By Arlene Francis.
Mrs DicKson descrilwd the book
as a witty book that is also thought-
provoking and exhilirating She
vent on to describe just what is
this thing called charm. "Charm
might be described as enlightened
s«-lf - interest a development of
one's best self.'* she said. She
quoted the author as saying that
she thinks genuine charm is an un-
motivated interest in others.
The speaker pointed out that
everyone, as a person, has charm
They may not be aware ot it It i>
tueir own very special charm, am.
i no one else can duplicate* it. li i-
as personnal as a dream is person-
, al, she slated, and it can be obtain-
ed only by releasing oneself from
the tentacles of prejudice, fear,
i bias, unjustified guilt, self-pity, sell
I centeredness and a dozen other nui-
: sances. Charm is the bringing ol
the best in every human being to
the surface. Charm in one person
often creates charm in others
! There are many individual things
| that contribute to charm, "your
mind, your appearance, your feel-
ings and your spirit." she said.
Mrs Dickson went on to ex-
plain further — "What are ue a-
Iraid of? Psychologists tell us that
we are born with only two basic
fears, the fear of falling and the
fear of loud noises. The rest of the
fears are piled on us as a result
of our environment and condition-
ing If we recognize this and try
Ui shake them of intelligently, we
will be on our way toward uncov-
ering our own special charm, and
a more relaxed and vital life."
At the end of the book review.
Mrs. Dickson passed out to mem-
bers printed copies of a Charmo-
meter by which each member can
gauge approximately how charm-
ing they are or just what they might
need to do to improve their charm
Members present enjoyed Mrs.
Dickson's review very much..

DEMO. MYTH:
The lr. S. has become a second late military power,
especially in missiles.
THE TRUTH IS:
Since 195^, the most powerful defense forces in history
have been developed under the G.O.P. Our missile-air-
land-sea forces rule out any defense gap such as existed
at the time of Pearl Harbor and Korea, in the missile
field the G.O.P.'s have devoted to times as much money
as the Demos spent in each year. We now have the
greatest nuclear bomber fleet in the world—-1 to 5 times
as many as I'.S.S.Ii. Even Kennedy conceded at an
interview Aug. 26, "We are still the strongest power
in the world today!"
pol. adv. paid for by Stephens County Republicans
KENNEDY SAYS:
No state, no region, no nation in the world today can
be economically strong without an adequate water sup-
ply . . . But already the water is nationwide and the
American people have a 'right to hear our goals, and
how we are going to reach them, not only our principles,
but how we intend to apply them, not only our rhetoric,
but the needs we plan to match our words. (Speech in
Billings, Mont. Sept. 22, 1960)
BUT THE TRUTH IS:
On Apt I), 1955, lie "paired" himself AGAINST THE
UPPER COLORADO RIVER STORAGE PROJECT,
the largest reclamation project ever enacted in a single
piece of legislation.

^ EASIER GOING FOR THE DRIVER AND
THE LOAD. LONGER LIFE FOR THE TRUCK!
ulUil ui mlftf yniLviivLlIu
If you don't think scrapping the front a«le has mad" a world of difference, yo j
haven't driven a Chevy in a while. A few minutes behind the wheel and you can
♦eel why drivers are happier and breakable loads are better protected. But fha
biggest advantage of all, you'll realize, is that the truck itself (sheet metal, fires,
chassis components, everything) takes less abuse. With independent front sus-
pension soaking up road shock and vibration, the truck lasts longer, goes e tra
thousands of miles before trade-in time. Add that to what everybody's always
known about Chevy dependability and you find yourself looking
at th soundest truck investment you could bet your business on.
