Practical Side Of Welfare
40 Years Ago
July 16, 1025 —
Willys-Overland indicate that
the four-cylinder Willys-Knight
is enjoying even more popularity
now than it did a year ago or
three years ago and that a
steady demand for these models
has enabled the company to
standardize these models in pro-
duction that it directly meets
competition both in and out of
its own class.
Last week while Mrs. L. A.
Pflughaupt was in the act of ad-
ministering to the wound on the
foot of her yard dog she was bit-
ten by the creature. Since the
animal was in great pain no
particular attention was given
to the ‘Incident--until the next
morning when the dog .was
found dead in the yard. Mr.
Pflughaupt cautiously severed
the dog's head from the body,
packed it in ice and forwarded
same to the Paseur institute at
Austin. A telegram forwarded
by the authorities stated that the
dog's brain indicated unmistake-
able signs of hydrophobia. Mrs.
Pflughaupt left for the institute
immediately. We hope she will
soon be released

AUSTIN — A grouchy copper-
head snake, protecting its an-
cestral residential rights, twice
bit an intruding camper on the,
foot. But the man visited a local
physician and hurried back.
Later when the limb bothered
him again, he went home to
sehis family physician, but
left his trailer to protect his
precious camping spot.
That happened the other day
in a state park-Huntsville State
Park-and while the reptile in-
cident is a rarity the insistence
of the camper in continuing his
vacation tour is typical d the
enormous patronage of stale
parks this summer.

True amber is a fossil
resin of an extinct tree '
which flourished along the
Baltic coast 70,000,000
years ago. According to
Greek myth, amber was
the congealed tears of
Phaethon’s filters, who
were turned to trees white
weeping for his death.
Since about 9000 B.C. am-
ber has been used not only
for making ornaments but
for curing such illnesses as

amber amulets as protec-,

the signs are that many New Yorkers are managing the
same alchemy with Rep John Lindsay, the Republican can-
didate for mayor 0 .L -
After nearly 12 years of the perhaps underrated but never-
theless plodding leadership of Democratic Mayor Robert
Wagner, New Yorkers are finding it easy to say “It’s time
for a change.” The cheerful vision they have of Lindsay
makes the notion immensely plausible.
Favored at the outset by his “star quality,” the handsome
Lindsay,has gained further practical benefit—in terms of
both drama and substance — from virtually every major
event that has occurred in New York City since he jumped
into the campaign two months ago.
Wagner’s pull-out, the Liberal party’s endorsement of
I indsay, Franklin D. Roosevelt Jr.’s decision not to try, and
the proliferation of other Democratic prospects all served
as propellants for Lindsay............................—--------
There cannot be any surprise, therefore, in hearing that
key Democrats as well as Republicans think Lindsay today
would beat any of the five announced Democrats.

Construction workers building

nesting in a hole in a cement

They trowled a triangular

BUCHAREST (UPI)—Slowly,
the Romanians are removing
the last remnants of Russian
Slavic- Communist country.
Nothing strikes a visitor who
has not been here since 1961
more than the disappearance of
Russian language signs at the
airport, the changes of Russian
names, of streets into Romanian
ones the absence of Russian
book stores and the scarcity of
Soviet plays and films
Striking out for cultural as
well as economic and political
independence from the Soviet
bloc the Communist authorities
are encouraging a strong form
of Romanian nationalism remi-
.niscent of that of Russia at the
height of the Stalin era.
The latest manifestation of
this form of cultural national-
fism is the attempted restora-
tion to glory of the once dis-
credited poet Octavian Goga.
Goga was a distinguished
poet and writer but as prime
minister in 1937 of a govern-
ment supported by the Fascist
"Iron Guard" he was taboo to
Communists and Socialists.
