THE BOERNE STAR
Thursday, Ma rch 27, 1958
During the early days of
penicillin, a small vial
cost an astronomical
sum. Today, the price
has been reduced to
the point that it now
amounts to less than
1/90 of the price what
first released ... an ex-
cellent example of med-
ical science’s devoted
effort to bring lifesaving
drugs within the reach
of everyone.
The average family
spends only $66 a year
for doctor bills ... only
$38 for prescriptions.
One pack of cigarettes
daily, costs about $90
a year.

NO CHANCE TO WEIGH YOUR THUMB HERE!
Drop by the corner super
market for a pound of ground
beef or a choice sirloin and the
man behind the counter weighs
the package on a small scale
that is probably geared to weigh
up to 25 pounds. But when that
beef was on the hoof chances
are he and a number of other
steers like him were herded
down the chutes at Union
Stockyards in San Antonio and
weighed on giant scales that
can accommodate loads up to
25,000 pounds. The amazing part
of the story is that these mas-
sive scales at Union Stockyards
are as dependable and accurate
in weighing tons of livestock
as the corner grocery is with
its small packages. Regular in-
spection and testing by weight
and measure specialists of both
the state and federal govern-
ment assures the livestock pro-
ducer of completely honest
weights and accurate results.
When his cattle are placed on
the scale platform the ticket is
electrically imprinted with the
weight — the date — the draft
number and the identity of the
seller. Then the buyer’s name,
the owner’s name, the number
of head and the kind of live-
stock are added to the ticket
and the bonded, certified deputy
public weigher on duty at all
times signs the ticket attesting
to the correctness of the infor-
mation. By this foolproof sys-
tem of weighing it is impossible
to change or alter any vital fig-
ures or data on any transaction.
Nine giant scales are located
at strategic points throughout
the 42 acre Stockyards layout
and the men who operate them
regularly switch from one set
of scales to another. At inter-
vals throughout the day the
scale is balanced for complete
accuracy. The balancing of the
scales is made necessary be-
cause of the dirt and debris that
are tracked onto the scale plat-
form by the thousands of ani-
mals who cross it. A buyer or
a seller may request that the
scale be balanced at any time.
But whether it is requested or
not the scales are balanced at
regular intervals to insure com-
pletely accurate weights.
An old gentleman was riding
in an airplane for the first time.
At Phoenix, Arizona, the plane
made a beautiful landing and im
meadiately a little red wagon
rushed up to refuel it. The next
stop was Fort Worth, Texas and
again a little red wagon rush-
ed up. The same thing occurred
in Nashville, Tenn.
A fellow passenger said to the
gentleman, “These planees cer-
tainly make wonderful time.”
The old man replied, “That
little red wagon ain’t doing so
bad either.”
A fellow has to be somewhat
of a contortionist to get by thie
day and time. First of all, he’s
got to have his eye on the ball,
his back to the wall, and his ear
to the ground. Then he’s ex-
pected to put his shoulder to the
wheel, his nose to the grind-
stone, keep a level head and
both feet on the ground, and
at the same time look for the
silver lining with his head in
the clouds.
Bring us the news.
