Submits Views Reached
At Mass Meeting Here
The American Legion Edwin Har-
dy Post No. 9 held a mass meeting
Friday night to discuss the Truman-
MacArthur question.
After considerable discussion, the
following views were submitted and
wired to Bill Elkins, Department
Commander at Austin;
“The United States should not con-
tinue a delaying war confined to Ko-
rea only, we should blockade the Chi-
na Coast with our Navy. Yes, we
should furnish equipment to Chiang
Kai-Shek for an invasion on the main-
land of China. Yes, we should bomb
Manchurian bases. We believe in
the Foreign Policy as outlined by
General MacArthur. Post No. 9 goes
on record—That we lack confidence
in our leadership in Washington.
Signed

good share of the honors.
The slide rule team consisting of

Sunday Drill Checks
Total $2,130.00
By LLOYD ALBERTSON
Approximately twelve hundred dol-
lars in checks, representing pay for
week-end drills, was received by mem-
bers of Battery C, 649th Anti-Air-
craft Artillery Battalion, the local
National Guard Unit, during the past
few days.
This amount was for Sunday after-
noon drills only, and was in addit-
ion to the $2,130.00 in regular arm-
ory drill pay which the Guards-
men received three weeks ago.
Another payment for week-end
drills will be made next month, Capt.
Rudolph Michalka, Battery comman-
der, said. It is expected that this
will be a larger payroll, since it will
reflect increases in pay due to the
twenty or more promotions of en-
listed men made in the unit recent-
ly-
Capt. Michalka also stated that
Battery C's gun crews are scheduled
for one more period of tracking and
aiming practice at the Cameron air-
port on Sunday afternoon, April 22nd.
The planes used as tracking targets
will be flown by pilots of the Civil
Air Patrol from Marlin.

Dr. Swift Moves
Miss Pauline Gunnels Dies Of Sudden
Heart Attack Her Home At Liberty
Dr. C. G. Swift announces the open-
ing of “Swift Clinic" located in the
300 block on North Central.
The Swift Clinic is one of the most
modernistic of its kind and will fea-
ture all the modern facilities availa-
ble which will include modern X-ray,
physical therapy treatment and all
other modern equipment used in the
up-to-date clinics in larger cities.
Construction was begun on this mo-
dern building in February with Stan-
ley Hughes, well known contractor in
charge of the construction. Materials
were purchased from the Wm. P.
Carey Lumber Co. The clinic will have
complete accomodations and facili-
ties for two doctors.
The front of the building is made
of modern transite material and Ro-
man stone. Transite is being used in
many of the most modern construc-
tions of the present day as front de-
coration.
Dr. Swift has been a resident of
this City for the past 16 years, com-
ing to Cameron from Waco. He is
well known here and throughout the
county and central Texas as an out-
standing physician and friends here
are congratulating him upon his pro-
gress and success in his profession.
He is also president of the Cameron
School hoard as well as a member of
a number of civic organizations.
Dr. Swift has always been interes-
ted in municipal affuirs and progress
in the City, and has made outstanding
achievements in his profession since
coming to this city. He is now in op-
eration at his new location.
The Defense Department called
for the draft of 1,202 doctrs dur-
ed because there have not been enough
ing July, August and September.
Officials said the draft call is need-
ed because there have not been enoug
volunteers to fill medical needs. If
enough doctors volunteer, the present
requisition will not be necessary, the
department said.
The call is for priority one doctors—
men who received medical education
at Government expense or were de-
ferred from service during World
War II to attend medical school, and
who have served less than 90 days
in the armed forces.
Only one previous call for the draft
of doctors under the draft law amend-
ment of Sept. 5, 1950, has been is-
sued. That call was made Oct. 10. At
that time the department asked for
1,522 doctors, dentists and veterinar-
ians. No one, however, was actually
inducted under that call. Sufficient
men volunteered before the induct-
ions took place.
Miss Pauline Gunnels, 12 year old
school girl of the Liberty community

the field in a wagon when the team
attempted to run away but was later
calmed. Miss Gunnels stepped from
the wagon and collapsed and died in-
stantly.

“Ivan of Hollywood” winner of the
Grand National Gold trophy for hair-
styling says “Nutri-Tonic Home Per-
manent is the best. Ivan says Nutri-
Tonic Home Permanent has been us-
ed in commercial beauty shops for
the past 18 years and is the only pat-
ented oil base lotion which recondit-
ions as it waves, and it can wave
some hair in just 5 minutes. It is
now available at New Cameron Drug
Co. in Cameron.
“Ivan of Hollywood,” a former as-
sociate with Perc Westmore, stylist
for Twentieth Century Fox Studios.
He has styled the coiffures of such
well known screen personalities as
Lana Turner, Greta Garbo, Kathryn
Grayson, Joan Leslie and Arlene
Dahl.
Ivan believes that comfort, as well
as style-consciousness will cause most
women to continue favoring the me-
dium short hair length, and this
style has proved to be more becom-
ing to the great majority of women.
Ladies with long necks, however,
should wear their hair a bit longer
than this because they require the
extra fullness and softness at the
neckline.
When using home waving methods,
Ivan suggests rubbing the ends of
the hair with a special cholesteral lo-
tion before using the chemical wav-
ing lotion. This will prevent splitting
ends. For the smart “middy” length
wave, Ivan advises that the crown of
the head be left smooth and that the
curls start just below <t.
Ivan is also the author of two best
selling books on hair styling. One
for which he has the most complete
records, he pointed out.
