A fabulously wealthy old skin-
flint was reaching the end of
the line and he knew it. His last
request was that all his posses-
sions be converted into cash
and wheeled in to his bedside.
"What's the good of that?” pro-
tested his lawyer. “You know

This stone may grow larger and
larger until it affects the proper
functioning of the entire gland.
Frequently the stone can be re-
moved under local anesthesia.
By means of X-ray and the in-
jection of a dye into the tiny
duels, the exact position of the
obstructing stone can be found
for easier removal.

Famous Sayings on Peace
Are Recalled by Colunmist
By BOB CONSIDINE
What measures can be taken
to prevent serious injuries in
the elderly?
The elderly, the infirm, and
those who are recovering from
recent illness are often sur-
rounded by all kinds of physical
hazards right in the safety of
their own home. I am always
astonished how frequently bro-
ken hips and backs occur fol-
lowing simple falls on slippery
floors and loose rugs.
The home that houses such
people should be carefully in
spcted to remove apparent and
hidden dangers. A broken piece
of linoleum, a carpet loosened
at the edge, a waxed floor, a
projecting edge of furniture, a
poorly lit room are only a frac-
tion of the dangers that can be
rectified and thus spare many
months of invalidism following
a fractured hip.

weeks ago in Orange County
and two years ago in the City
of Orange.
I watched a man transport a
voter from the voting box di-
rectly to a liquor store during
the hours of voting in.the re-
cent primary.
Far be it from me to say that
a man cannot take his "friend"
to the liquor store after voting.
However, when this goes on all
day, one begins to wonder about
his “friends.”
Other men were seen walking
in and out of local taverns they
will not be seen in for at least

Two years ago, the same
thing happened in the city elec-

a little more subtle because liq-

ANOTHER REQUEST - The
liquor store interests also have
another request. They want to
be open on the day of the city
election.
By ordinance, the sale of al-
cholic beverages is prohibited
during voting hours. Until this
year, it also was a state law for
general elections.
However, sometime this year,
without anyone knowing much
about it, the state law was re-
pealed.
It is true, as one person told
me, that this law was written
many years ago when vote buy-
ing and selling was common,
and liquor played an important
part.
Unfortunately, t h a t “many
years ago” was about two

What causes a stone to form
in one of the glands that pro-
duces saliva?
There are three sets of sali-
vary glands which produce sa-
liva contain-
ing substances
absolutely es-
sential to the
proper begin-
ning of the di-
g e s t i o n of
foods. Besides
lubricating the
mouth, saliva
De CalawaD starts diges-
tion which then continues in the
stomach and in the intestines.
The largest of these salivary
glands on either side of the face
just in front of the ear, are the
parotids which are the ones af-
fected during an attack of
mumps. Another set of glands
just under the jaw are called
the submaxillary glands and a
third set, the submentals, lie in
front just below the chin.
Through tiny ducts or canals,
saliva pours steadily and
smoothly into the mouth. Every-
one has noted the remarkable
phenomenon that takes place
when one watches- somebody
else chew on a lemon. Through
one of the most complex and
intricate connections, in a mil-
lionth of a second, a signal is
sent from the eyes to the brain
and back to the salivary glands
causing an increased production
of saliva.

or drugs or infection, a tiny de-

YOUR HOROSCOPE . . .
The Stars Say
FOR TODAY
Excellent planetary influences will make today
a fine day on the personal score. Stars continue to
favor romance; also travel and group activities gen-
erally. If work is on your agenda, best stick to
routine. New ventures started at this time don’t
seem to show much promise.
FOR THE BIRTHDAY
If today is your birthday, your horoscope Indi-
cates that it would be advisable to take advantage
of all opportunities to advance now—especially on
the financial score. Stars promise gratifying gains
between now and the end of December, provided
that you operate conservatively and eschew all ex-
travagance and speculation—especially during the
first two weeks of August and throughout Novem-
ber and December. During January and February,
consolidate the assets you’ve accumulated and be
prepared to expand fiscal interests at the begin-
ning of March, when you will enter another splendid
tmonth cycle for increasing assets. Best periods
for job interests: September, November, December
and next March.
Stimulating social activities and travel should en-
liven the next four months: also, December, Jan-
uary and next April. Best periods for romance:
The next four months, late October and April. Do-
mestis interests should prosper for most of the year
ahead but do try to avoid friction in close circles
during the early part of November.

Commencement bouquets are tossed to-
day to the hundreds of Sabine Area seniors
graduating during the next few weeks.
In addition to the numerous area students
graduating from high school 47 persons de-
serve special congratulations upon their
graduation from Lamar Tech. These college
students will be receiving bachelor a or
• master's degrees Saturday.
Bouquets also are tossed to the honor
graduates announced this week in the Buna
and Kirbyville high schools.
The top honor students in the 1968 Kirby-
ville senior class are Jerry Lynn Swanzy,
valedictorian; Alexia Ann Wright, salutato-___
rian; and Dalton Craig Brackin, top-ranking
bo'v. •
The Buna High School highest honor
students are David Lewis Bond, valedicto-
rian; and Dianne Moore, salutatorian.
An Orange resident deserving special
mention is Harry Stephens, honored by the i
Orange City Council last week for his assist-
ance to the city police department. '
Stephens was presented a plaque in ap-
preciation for his volunteer assistance in ap-
prehending three men whom the police •
charged with burglary.
Bouquets are extended to the Orange
Evening Optimist and Orange Optimist clubs
for hosting the 20th annual Southeast Texas
District Convention this weekend at the Jack
Tar Hotel. The convention was expected to i
be the largest ever held in the city. Douglas
M. Ardoin is serving as convention chairman.

servants would start packing
his duds a week in advance,
and then have them carted to
the railroad station in 10 or 11
trunks. Tarkington himself
would usually make a grand en-
trance just as his train was
chugging in.
One year, however, Mr. Tark-
ington, purplo with rage, drove
up an hour before train time,
and stayed in his limousine
while the servants opened one
of his trunks after another. It
seems that they had inadver-
tently packed up every single
pair of his pants, and until they
retrieved the one that matched
The admitted purpose was to
forestall any chance of keeping
Henke’s Family Center from
getting a permit to sell liqura
because it might sell cheaper
and threaten the prices at other
stores.
No one knew if Henke’s was
going to apply for a permit, as
they had about two years ago, or
if the store was within 1,500
feet of the nearest liquor store.
But everyone knew that
Henke’s has some large and
long outside walls.
The new revision provided for
measurement to be from front
door to front door and measured
at right angles across intersec-
■ tions.
At Tuesday’s meeting the
original revision was turned
down and the new one substi-
tuted.
How many feet apart liquor
stores are is really of no great
concern. It's a technical prob-
lem.
Even if all restrictions were
removed there are not that
many vacant locations in CI
commercial zones in Orange to
house an overflow number of
stores.
The concern is that one small
group has successfully
influenced the city’s business
for its own benefit. This same
group was the one that origin-
ally obtained the 1,500-foot pro-
vision.
If business cannot stand com-
petition, that is its own prob-
lem. There are plenty of drug
stores that probably don’t like
Henke’s competition either, but
they manage somehow.

Step Number One, after you
buy a car, is to buy insurance.
But it might take the insur-
ance company several days—or
even several weeks — to con--
sider your application. In the
meantime, the company may
give you a “binder” for tem-
porary protection.
How good is a binder? Does it
really protect you in case of an
accident?
Generally speaking, a court
will indeed enforce a binder
— even an oral one (although ,
that kind is harder for you to
prove). While a binder lacks
most of the details to be found
in a formal insurance policy,
the courts are willing to read
in what is missing — provided
that can be done with reason-
able accuracy.
Consider this case:
A motorist was involved in an
accident shortly after taking out
a binder for “10-10” liability
coverage. In a court test, this
was held to mean that the man
had coverage of $10,000 for
each injury — because that is
how such a phrase would ordi-
narily be understood in the in-
surance business.
On the other hand, your binder
probably will not stand up in
court if it leaves some essential
fact in real doubt. Omitting
the amount of coverage, or
the type, or the term, could
mean that a court would have to
use guesswork to figure out
what the parties had in mind.
Then, the binder would lack
that “meeting of the minds"
necessary to constitute a legal
contract.
Furthermore, a binder, just
like a formal insurance policy,
may be cancelled in most
states if it was obtained by
false representations.
In one case a motorist, ap-
plying for a binder, was asked
if he had had any traffic viola-
tions in the preceding three
years. His answer was “No."
But after he had a collision,
the insurance company found
out that his answer should have
been “Yes.” In fact, his record
showed no less than five mov-
ing violations in the three-year
period.
Result: no Insurance protec-
tion. As the judge put.it, his de-
ception was “material to the
risk"—that is, important enough
for the insurance company to
have turned down his applica-
Un If it had known Um trutli.
Everyone has his own sacred
cow. For the Orange City Coun-
cil, or at least a portion of it,
that cow is the liquor stores.
After this week's display of
concern for the liquor store
owners, one wonders if the sale
of liquor is the No. 1 business,
employer and industry in this
town.
City Atty. Larry Sinclair says
it is his opinion that many sec-
tions of the city’s liquor ordi-
nance are not conforming with
state regulations.
However, no one is too in-
terested in changing it, and that
is where the problem began sev-
eral months ago.
Just to go into a little back-
ground, the council got itself
into a bind by allowing the open-
ing of a liquor store not 1,500
feet from another liquor store,
as required by city ordinance.
The blame did not belong en-
tirely on the store’s owner, be-
cause his surveyor’s measure-
ment was declared invalid after
he measured across intersec-
tions at right angles, Instead of
diagonally.
That may be some indication
of chow technical the problem
was, s
To meet the requirement of
measurement from front door to
front door, the door was placed
on the side of the building.
However, after the needed per-
mit was obtained, a door was
cut into the front and opened.
Then the councilmen were
faced with the question of
whether they would close the
store down, let it operate in vio-
lation of the law or change the
law so that it would-conform.
They chose to change the law,
which was a logical approach,
and also thay have helped in
future-problems.
Sinclair drew up a proposal
that would retain the same man-
ner of measurement, but would
let the line be drawn from the

NEW YORK-With the stormy
peace talks under way in Paris,
let us take a look at what was
sald of peace in the past:
“Pesce in our time . . . peace
with honor,” Neville Chamber-
lain cried, waving his umbrella
to the British crowd that wel-
comed him home from Munich.
» The man who was soon to suc-
ceed him as His Majesty's first
minister, Winston Churchill, took
a more realistic view;
“The human tragedy reaches
its clinax in the fact that after
all the exertions and sacrifices
of hundreds of millions of peo-
ple and of the victories of the
righteous cause, we have still
not found peace or security,
and that we lie in the grip of
even worse perils than those we
have surmounted."
Gen. Omar Bradley put mus-
cle in his peace message:
“Our pleas for peace are
measured not by the sincerity
with which they are spoken but
by the strength We can array
to enforce them.” t—
Averell Harriman’s mission
might be cheered if he took
along the selected works of
Justice William O. Douglas,
among which is this thought:
“America is fitted by tradi-
tion for directing and guiding
revolutions. We won our free-
dom by revolution and set the
example which today inspired
the peasants of Asia. We can-
not remake the world in our
image: but we can help those
who are seeking an escape from
squalor to find alternatives to
communism.”
Mr. Harriman would find no
cheer in two sombre comments
by his late great friends FDR
and Gen. George C. Marshall.
"The American Unknown Sol-
dier who lies here did not give
his life on the fields of France
merely to defend his American
home for the moment that was
passing," the President said one
May day at Arlington National
There are two things, says
Chicago's Sydney Harris, about
which every man is unshakeably
convinced: one, that somehow
he is desirable to women, and
two, that in some deep and
mystic way,-he really has a
quite nice singing vaice,

bye.”
Cemetery. “He gave It that his
family, his neighbors and all
his fellow Americans might live
in peace in days to come. His
hope was not fulfilled.”
Gen. Marshall took a dour
view, too:
“If man does find the solution
for world peace it will be the
most revolutionary reversal of
his record we hare ever known.’’
Petrarch <1304-74) dropped a
little reminder for those con-
vened at Parish today:
“Five great enemies to peace
inhabit with us: viz, avarice,
. ambition, envy, anger and
pride. If those enemies were to
be banished, we should infal-
libly enjoy perpetual peace.’’
Polybius set the tone of .the
American attitude at the Paris
peace table two centuries be-
fore Christ:
“For peace, with justice and
honor, is the fairest and most
profitable possession, but with
disgrace and shamefol coward-
ice it is the most infamous and
harmful of all.”
Gen. Douglas MacArthur al-
ways was sure who had the
most at stake during any peace
conference:
“No man desires peace as
much as the soldier for he must
pay the greatest penalty in
war."
It was on a much less com-
plicated day than today, when
Thomas Jefferson proposed:
“Peace and friendship with
all mankind is our wisest pol-
icy, and I wish we may be per-
mitted to pursue it.”
Frank Knox, the Republican
publisher who served FDR as
secretary of Navy, saw peace
as a venture in compromise:
“The currency with which you
pay for peace is made up of
manly courage, fearless virility,
readiness to serve justice and
honor at any cost, and a mind
and a heart attuned to sacri-
fice.”

Dear Daughter:
Tomorrow you will turn another page in the
program of your life.
‛ But as that page becomes history with the AC-
ceptance of your high school diploma, it will be
well to remember its number, for certainly there
will bo times when reference to H must be made
hot only to determine where you have been, but
also the direction in which you must go.
The direction you now take will depend on you.
The training by your mother and me for the
18 years, 3 months and 9 days that you have been
in this world has been for one purpose: to pre-
pare you for the decisions that must be yours be-
yond this milepost.
. Maybe our training in some areas hasn’t been
as meaningful nor as impressive as it should have
been. Nevertheless, in those particular areas the
training was for a purpose, which may not come
to the forefront until years hence.
Also, at times we made mistakes. Thst is a
fallacy in the makeup of the human being: he
or she is not perfect, but whenever we make our
mistakes and admit them as such, they can be-
come an aid to our betterment.
You and other graduates might look on this
milestone as a mark of your education: that .
would be a mistake.
Certainly, you began the development of your
mind and talents in the past years of public
schooling.
However, education is a never • ending process,
the brsin developing as far as the person desires
it to develop. It is the modest person, who, as he
or she goes through life, continues to remind him-
self or herself that "I am still a student."
* ♦ *
The world you and your contemporaries are
looking out upon is moving at a fast rate, not
according to the second hand of the clock but in
technological and sociological developments.
It is easy for you to see these developments.
In your lifetime has evolved the space age, with
men looking to the future among the stars, and
the social reform age. with man looking toward
the betterment of man.
Also as part of the social-reform age have come
problems that will be more on the shoulders of
you and others like you rather than your elders.
But don’t, without thinking through the problem
for a just and logical solution, leap to the conclu-
sion that your elders have failed in their duties.
Let me remind you to refer back to that page
which was turned on the day of graduation from
highschool. .
♦ * *
A few paragraphs above it was mentioned thst
this is a changing world.
But let me reimind you that before you initiate
or join in a change, yg must have something to
take the place of that which is being changed. A
void is as bad as that which has been removed.
* * *
And less I forget: education has a purpose other
than the development of yourself.
The other purpose is passing on to others that
which you have learned.
The person is selfish and self-centered who bot-
tles his knowledge for his own benefit. He is as
useful as a wart on the end of your nose.
* * *
Maybe I have rambled much in trying to get
a message across to you. If I have it’s only be-
cause there is difficulty in communicating about
intangibles.
Nevertheless, remember this message is written
to aid you as you take another step on the lad-
der of life.
I want that step to be upward rather than
downward.
