I want to tell you a strange
story that I heard in Leb-
anon two years ago while at-
tending the American University
of Beyruth. My uncle Saleh Da-
kour, a Druse who is magistrate
of a small village near Beyruth,
told me in Leb- {;s
anese this story.

taneously with a child’s birth.
A man of Beyruth, who was a
Druse, accompanied by his six-
year-old son, went to Damascus
to buy garments. While the boy
was trying on a turtleneck
sweater he began to scream that
he was choking! The sweater was
removed and the wild-eyed, pal-
lid boy w-as asked the reason for
his strange conduct.
“I had died in this manner in
the previous life,’’ the boy said.
Upon this statement, «0me
six years ago, a man and woman
were tried and imprisoned for
life. In court the boy was asked
to prove his previous existence.
The boy said that in his prev-
ious life he had been married to
a woman who had a lover and
the two had conspired to murder
him, for the Druse do not believe
in divorce. One night suspecting
something was afoot he played
asleep and saw his wife signal
with a lantern out the window.
Shortly afterward the two con-
spirators fell upon him and
choked him to death.
Pressed for further evidence,
the boy gave names of relatives
of his and related incidents of his
previous life. As a climax he took
officials 1o the house he had
lived in in a village outside Bey-
ruth. He pointed to the backyard
and said, “Here you will find my
body.”
They found the corpse of the
murdered man there. The wife
and lover, now married, were ar-
rested and convicted.
The trial revealed that the
murder had taken place—at the
very minute that this boy was
born!

I want to tell you about
Charlie Pietsch.
A construction engineer,
Charlie was sent by his govern-
ment to build Pearl Harbor and
twenty-five years later he saw
the world’s greatest navy and
the harbor blasted.
The first time I saw Charlie
was in Grand Rapids, the July
before that fatal December 7th.
, He felt some-
J thing was going
______ to happen and
he said so. He
ta>ked
For them, SlendaVogue!
Hold That
Houston's younger set is
definitely out to hold that
line—and we don't mean
football!
THE GRACE SYSTEM salon
*t 3825 Fannin is overflowing
with dashing, lithe young bodies
that plan to hold that line from
chin through hip during the fall
season of gay parties and dances.
For this is the season when
women, who have let themselves
go in the casual summer, must
pay for that mistake in loss of
attraction in the demanding fall.
A bulging evening gown is defi-
nitely anti-social today.
Those little bumps and bulges
become literally road-blocks on
the highway to social accept-
ance.
The thump and pat of Swedish
Massage resounds in the salon as
the matrons likewise try their
best to look their very best.
BUT for the young blondes and
brunettes and redheads, it’s the
famous “SlendaVogue” (Miracle
Spot Reducer) course, that molds
the figure to fit that exquisite
gown, vanishing the little bumps
and bulges that people notice far
more than you think!
And it’s all done in complete
privacy ... at a price that de-
lights. For example, 12 Slenda-
Vogue treatments cost only $24.
The gay fall is here! But before
you climb into your evening
gown, call JU-5591 or JU-5592,
where they can show you how to
make that gown fit!
They fiel You A •Job

“4 0,0 0 0 boys
docking in Pearl
soon” and said
III he wanted to
■f supply “each
Jflj one with a Tes-
tament.” The
chief chaplain of the Navy had
given Charlie permission.
CHARLIE distributed the Tes-
taments in September. What hap-
pened afterward is history. Some
of the stories of the boys who re-
ceived these Testaments are pow-
erful, for God’s word is “quick
and powerful and sharper than
any two-edged sword.”
Charlie made many trips to the
States during the war. He told
me of one trip he made on a
troop ship when the subs were
lurking in the waters, waiting for
their next victim. One torpedo
had barely missed the ship, and
nerves were on edge that night.
Charlie moved about and mingled
with the fellows. They noticed
how calm he was, so at ease and
confident. They could not seem
to understand him.
NEXT MORNING when he an-
swered a call, an officer told him
400 men who were assembled
below “wanted him to explain
something to them.”
Appearing before them, he was
asked how he could be so calm
during the night when the ship
might go down at any moment?
“If the ship goes down,” said
Charlie, “I go Up.”
Every Christian longs for this
when his physical life is over, to
be with Him forever.
A 500-foot lifetime-guar-
anteed Allied fence of stately
beauty and enormous
strength completely encloses the
property of Glenn G. Vaughn at
4210 Europa. Five feet high,
beautifully wrought of rustproof
steel, it is an impassable barrier
to stray dogs, trespassers, and
peddlers who take one look at it
and depart.
A reprseentative of ALLIED
PROFILE
Wallace H. Miller was li-
censed as an attorney in
May, 1950, and a few days
later found himself in the floor-
ing business, where no doubt his
income tax will rise more
quickly than in the practice of
law.
He immediately found himself
plunged into what, from any
angle, seemed the most competi-
tive field in Houston. Leyte and
Luzon were nothing like this,
thought the humorous 25-year-
old former Corps of Engineers
first lieutentant. He was com-
mander of an engineer heavy
equipment company in the Pa-
cific, building airstrips.
HANDLING 120 retail outlets
in the Houston area with his
DIXIE SPECIALTY CORPORA-
TION, Wallace rises at 6 a.m. at
4119 Swarthmore and leaves his
office at 6515 Alleghany at 6
p.m., after having consumed five
packs of cigarettes and too much
coffee. Probably his last thought
at night is whether the prices will
have changed by morning.
LOVER OF music and ballet
the blond-and-blue-eyed Hous-
tonian, a product of Allen Acad-
emy, Mississippi State and the
U. of Houston, finds little time
for either, or even for his pas-
sion football. He has thrown all
his energy and ambition into the
building of a business supplying
wholesale floor covering to retail
outlets within a radius of 100
miles at present. His three lead-
ers are the popular Versa-Tile,
Higgins hardwood blocks, and
Robbins rubber tile.
His retail outlets have learned
that they can depend upon hard-
working Wallace Miller to give
them every possible service he
can.
He drives home to 4119
Swarthmore, where wife Sally
and 2-year-old Michael, his son,
are waiting for him.
CHAIN LINK FENCE CO., 7100
Cavalcade, BL-5451, contacted
the Vaughns in June and imme-
diately aroused their interest by
explaining that an Allied fence
meant increased property evalu-
ation, protection for their three
children and their beautiful 105-
pound German shepherd dog,
Chris.
THE VAUGHNS were more
than co’nvinced when the repre-
sentative explained that Allied
fence corners are held by four
steel clamps and two steel bars,
the line posts of rustproof cast
aluminum, and the top very uni-
form and neat looking.
Here, Mrs. Vaughn has just
driven in the car, is holding
Charles Henry, one year old, and
being greeted by Linda Kath-
erine, 5. and Chris. Absent is
Garlin, 10, and Mr. Vaughn, for
which we apologize.

Mrs. Burleson and her beautiful Utility Wall Furnace
Garden Club Enthusiast
Says Utility Wall Furnace
Protects Indoor Pot Plants
Attractive potted plants
are safe in homes heated by
the famous Utility Wall
Furnace.
But plants cannot live in the
house heated by gas heaters, for
the gas fumes destroy plant life.
Mrs. John M. Burleson, a mem-
ber of the executive board of
Lindale Garden Club, interviewed
at her residence at 219 Lindale
this week, said that “vented heat
draws the gas fumes out of the
house and thlis saves the plants.’*
She highly praised the modern,
safe wall furnaces installed last
September by FRESH AIR CIR-
CULATOR CO., 3108 Navigation,
FA-1333. “I couldn’t keep plants
when I was using gas heaters,”
she said.
HER FURNACE is beautifully
fitted in a wall between two bed-
rooms and Mrs. Burleson said
that Fresh Air engineers did such
a beautiful and clean job “that
I wrote the company a letter
about it.”
What sold Mrs. Burleson on the
Utility Wall Furnace was the
fact “that it circulates the heat
and so it heats more territory,’*
she said.
Automatic thermostat conrtol
permits her to set a simple dial
and wake up in a warm house in
the morning.
Asked if she had looked at
other furnaces, she said, “Other
companies came out but I wasn’t
satisfied with their product.”

Sixty years total experi-
ence in placing people in the
right jobs is represented by
this group of crack placement
specialists at GULF EMPLOY-
MENT SERVICE, 808 Scanlan
Bldg., CH-6919, one of Houston’s
most competent and reliable em-
ployment services.
They are, left to right, Sue
Scholl, E. C. Kline, Nan Kline, B.
L. McGee and Mias Carroll. They
are in daily touch with the needs
of business firms throughout the
city.
McCray Koldflo Meat Case Pays For
Itself, Grocer Says
WHEN a job-hunter is referred
by Gulf to any firm, the employer
may rest assured that Gulf’s basic
“Screening” process has found
the right person for the job.
And the job-hunter actually
makes money by being employed
faster when he or she consults
with Gulf. This agency specializes
in calls for secretaries, typists,
stenographers, PBX operators,
administrative, accounts, engin-
eers, draftsmen, salesmen, ware-
housemen and general office
clerks.
Gulf invites employers to visit
their spacious offices in the Scan-
lan Building.
The McCray Koldflo dis-
play meat case is outstand-
ing in its field, says Grocer
Austin Ward whe operates the
popular Ward’s Grocery at 3002
Chenevert.
“It definitely pays for itself,”
said Mr. Ward. “This big 10-
footer gives you a nice display,
keeps the meat fresher and gives
it better color, and there’s very
little shrinkage.”
The McCray case is very easy
to clean, Mr. Ward pointed out.
SAID CUSTOMER Miss Tillie
Kamas, of 1915 Rosalie, “A good
display makes you want to buy
more. This one is good. And Mr.
Ward has the nicest cuts of meat
in the neighborhood!” Miss
Kamas selected a fine roast from
the appetizing display.
The complete McCray line, in-
cluding the popular Koldflo Self-
Service refrigerated display that
customers praise at every store
where it is installed, is handled
in Houston by THOMAS II. SUL-
LIVAN CO., 2626 Main, KE-4466.
