American Motors
'Breakthrough'
Shown In Profits
American Motors Corporation
recently reported a net profit of
$26,085,134 ($4.65 a share) for tho
fiscal year ended September 30,
1958.
Net sales for the corporation
and its consolidated subsidiaries
rose 28.4 per cent to $470,349,420
during the year, as compared with
adjusted net sales of $366,391,830
in 1957, it said.
"The financial results in the
1958 fiscal year are a forceful in-
dication that Rambler has achiev-
ed a major breakthrough in the
automobile market," spokesmen
said. "The progress is accelerating
daily and expansion steps are un-
der consideration."
"We elected to pay a stock divi-
dend at this time to stockholders
because we felt they should share
in the company's progress at the
earliest moment, while at the
same time capital should be main-
tained and increased to meet ex-
pansion and other needs as Ramb-
ler automobile and Kelvinator ap-
pliance demand rises."
It was noted that Rambler's sus-
tained sales rise, which was made
in the face of adverse national
economic conditions and a decline
in automobile sales generally, was
continuing on an upward trend as
the year closed. Sales in the first
quarter of the new fiscal year are
well beyond expectations and are
continuing to outstrip forecasts.
Total sales of Rambler and Me-
tropolitan cars to dealers amount-
ed to 189,807 units in the fiscal
year 1958, compared with 119,586
total sales in the prior year. The
108" wheelbase Rambler Six con-
tinued as the top sales performer
in the American Motors line. How-
ever, the 100" wheelbase Rambler
American, which was not intro-
duced until late in January, 1958,
accounted for about one-fifth of
all Rambler 1958 fiscal year sales.
The fiscal year was also marked
by a strong improvement in the
quality, breadth and strength of
the Rambler distribution organiza-
tion. As of September 30, there
were more than 2,636 Rambler
dealers, which is a net gain oJI
425 new Rambler outlets during;
the year.

Wins Mystery Men
Contest Of Week
Berniee Kennard of Rusk is
alone in identifying last week's
Mystery Men — Albert Kojack
and Pope Guinn—and has been,
declared the winner of the $5
cash award.
This week's Mystery men are
figured to be somewhat easier to
identify with a corresponding in-
crease in competition, so emphasis
should be placed on sentence com-
pletion.
You are invited to enter the
contest and perhaps win yourself
$5, at a time of year when every-
body can use an extra $5.
Entries should be in the Chero-
keean office not later than Tues-
day noon following the week ofi
publication.

About Your
-HEALTH-
Henry A. Hollé, M. D.
Commissioner of Health
About this time last year, Texas
and most of the United States was
swamped with the so-called Asiatic
flu.
In fact the inroads of the Asian
strains of influenza were so wide-
spread that its effects were felt
all over the world with varying
intensity.
There is no doubt that influenaa
was a contributing factor in the
slight rise of death rates during
the winter months. Influenza may
weaken an individual's resistance
so that he is subject to more seri-
ous illness such as pneumonia
which may result in death.
The two most studied outbreaks
were the highly fatal pandemics
of 1889 and 1918 when hundreds
of thousands were killed as a re-
sult of the disease. Since then at-
tention has been directed to the
epidemic of mild disease that have
been yearly occurences with vary
ing intensity.
Fortunately, although there was
a large number of cases, the se-
verity of the Asian influenza epi-
demic was not great. The epidem
ic as measured by excess influen-
za pneumonia mortality was only
slightly more severe than the in-
fluenza "A prime" epidemic of
1953.
Although there are no indica-
tions at the present time of an
other epidemic of the Asian strain
of influenza, there undoubtedly
will be some influenza.
For this reason the U. S. Publio
Health Service and the Texas State
Department of Health recommend
consideration of vaccination ag
ainst influenza for certain groups
and individuals
Influenza vaccine is indicated
for groups wishing to guard ag-
ainst absenteeism in their profes
sions or occupations, and among;
those to whom the disease might
be an added health risk.
There are now ample supplies
of influenza vaccine of the poly-
valent type, containing immuniz-
ing material against the import-
ant strains of influenza, including
the Asian strains.
Groups which should be consid
ered for vaccination include hos-
pital staffs whose services are
necessary to the care of the sick;
groups subject to exposure and
quick spread such as in institu
tions; and individual patients who
have a special risk because of¡
chronic illness, pregnancy and age.
Practicing physicians should be
the judges of whether or not ttx
vaccinate individuals. (A weekly
feature of the Public Health Edu-
cation Division of the Texas State
Departmeut of Health)
