In County Areas
^ Measles, ippearing in scatter-
ed areas in Nolan county, is al-
ways a dangerous disease, ac-
cording to Or. George A. Cray,
director of the city-county health
unit.
Not considered serious, often
improper care is taken of the
patient, he said. At this time of
year if children expose them-
selves to cold weather before
the eruption appears and before
0h(>y have fully recovered, a re-
lapse might occur.
Many children recover with-
out definite treatment or care,
but others develop pneumonia,
he warned.

Michigan Senator
Enters Wisconsin
Primary Campaign
Ohioan Stays Out, Hoping
Vandenberg Can Defeat
New York Prosecutor
WASHINGTON — (UP) —
Sens. Arthur H. Vandenberg, R.,
Mich., and Robert A. Taft, R., O.,
both candidates for the republi-
can presidential nomination,
have united in a "stop Dewey"
movement in the Wisconsin pri-
mary. April 2, reliable congres-
sional sources said Wednesday.
Vandenberg and Taft, it was
said, seek to prevent Thomas E.
Dewey. 37-year-old New York
district attorney, from getting
off to a victorious start in Wis-
consin where one of the first
major primaries will be held.
Taft Stays Out
Vandenberg and Dewey have
entered the Wisconsin republi-
can primary. Taft has announc-
ed that he will not enter.
The congressional sources that
revealed the Taft-Vandenberg
combine against Dewey said
Taft realized he could not ex-
pect support of the progressive
faction in Wisconsin, and stood
aside because he believed Van-
denberg had a better chance of
winning the primary.
Vandenberg undoubtedly will
have the support of Sen. Robert
M. LaFollette, Prog., Wis., and
other Wisconsin leaders, and
should he win, Dewey's cam-
paign would suffer a severe and
early setback.
Meanwhile, word was awaited
from Vice President John N.
Garner on whether he would
enter the Ohio primary, May 13,
from which Sen. Vic Donahey,
veteran democrat, retired after
he had been designated as a
"stalking horse" for President
Roosevelt. Simultaneously two
western democrats began a new
drive to "smoke out" the presi-
dent on his third term plans.
'Silcncc Is Terrible*
Senator Edwin C. Johnson. I).,
Colo., a supporter of Senator
Burton K. Wheeler, I)., A^ont.,
for the democratic nomination,
said that if Mr. Roosevelt has no
intentions of accepting the nom-
ination, "his continued silence is
terrible and he must accept full
responsibility for demoralizing
anti disrupting the democratic
party."
Senator Edward R. Burke, D.,
Neb, a Garner supporter, said
that agitation among new deal-
ers for a third term for Mr.
Roosevelt was "unfair" to Mr.
Roosevelt, but that it has placed
the president in a position
"where he now must speak out."

i SS,
IN its own way, Mercury 8 has done again, at
a lower price, what Lincoln-Zephyr did a
few years ago. It has gathered together the
good things its price would normally buy...
then topped them off with still more good
things its price never bought before! It flashed
to instant, brilliant success by being a brilliant
new kind of car!
Drive it and you soon see how truly new it
is! You find it big... big to look at, big to ride
in. You find it marvelously comfortable. You
find it superbly powered .. with a 95 horse-
power V-8 engine that stands already as one
of the country's most respected performers.
You find it faultlessly fitted...with fingertip
gearshift on the steering post, interior luxury
peculiarly its own. sleek lines, rich colors . . .
safe with steel and Safety Glass throughout.
And then you hear owners tell of mileage
up to 20 per gallon ... and your wife exclaims
that, for all its size, it's the easiest car she ever
drove and you know that another new Ford-
built car has opened another new world of
motoring satisfaction!
