Sunday school and church was
well attended. Brother Burton
brought a wonderful message. We
hope that every one that possibly
can will be there next Sunday.

Who's A Foreigner?
While I'm waiting for a hair-
rot the other day, Slim Hartman
ets slip with a crack about those
"•foreigners" who live by the depot.
"Now wait a minute, Slim,"
snaps Doc Sherman. "Don't forget
we're all 'foreigners' more or less.
Some of our families have simply
been here longer than others. But
even if they came over on the May-
Bower, they were foreigners to the
Indians."
Slim gets a little red and yon
could see that Doc had him. "And
the reason they came here," he goes
on, "was to find freedom to do and
think as they wanted to so long as
they didn't tramp on the rights of
the other fellow."
From where I sit, America became
the great land it is today through
our being tolerant of different peo-
ple and different tastes — whether
it's a taste for square dancing or
waltzing, radio or movies, goat's
milk or a temperate glass of spar-
kling beer.

Old man winter forgot us last
week but he has sent another mes
sage that he will be here tonight

Some oil excitement has arrived

We may have that oil field yet

That
man
in your life
We're speaking of the considerate
one who shares your party line!
He always listens for a moment
to see whether the line is busy be-
fore placing a call. He never jiggles
the receiver or bangs it when you
are talking.
He allows plenty of time between
calls and gives up the line promptly
in an emergency.
He may or may not be "tall,
dark, and handsome," but we'll bet
you're glad to have him on your
party line.

They make a regular habit of extra
care, such as dropping a spot of
graphite on the carburetor heat-
control shaft, or using a special,
non-sleeve-soiling lubricating stick

could list a dozen more.
The point is, these mechanics are
Buick specialists of long and pa-
tient experience— they know your
Buick and its needs better than
anyone else — and they take pains
to keep you happy with it.
Yet you don't pay a penny more.
