“My wife used to bang up our garage too. Then
PURCELLS gave me the idea of financing a new car,
and now my wife’s afraid to drive it.”
They’re mighty nice folks to know,
especially when buying' a new car
or refinancing your old one.

THE BAFFLES
By Mahoney
I REMEMBER'
BY THE OLD TIMERS
r^rom William Sommerville, Par-
tons, W. Va.: I remember when I
vas a boy I used to go to the coun
ty store with my mother and buy
Irbuckles Coffee for 10c per
«ound and granulated sugar for
Ic and the best of slab bacon for
lc per pound. These kitchen neces-
lities were usually exchanged for
chickens, eggs , and butter and
very little money was used.
The wages at the time were
jUc per day of ten hours or more.
The winters were longer and
very severe with deep snows and
large drifts which took up into
the spring months to melt away.
Sometimes in early May.
I also remember the old up and
down saw mill located on a small
creek near my father’s farm which
was run by water power, tho even
at that time it was obsolete and
not in use.
The grist mill was also very com
mon at that time. They were run by
water power supplied by a dam
built in the main creek. I used
to carry many a grist of corn to
the mill on my back when the
horse had other work to do in the
fields.
' The most used firearms at that
time was the muzzle loading rifle,
a few muzzle loading shotguns were
in use. The principal way of pre
serving many kinds of fruits
was by drying on a roof in
the sun or stringing on twine
strings and hanging them behind
the stoves to dry. When dry, they
were usually placed in empty
flour bags and hung up on nails
for winter use

W E HOPE it won’t happen. But our country must
prepare for any eventuality in this atomic age.
One A-Bomb over a big city could cause 60,000 casu
alties. At least 40,000 men, women and children
would need at least one unit of whole blood or plasma
immediately—and three times that amount after the
attack. Plasma can be stored for five years. The
Federal Gvil Defense Administration is trying to
collect enough blood to build a minimum reserve.
But building a blood reserve is only one phase of
the National Blood Program.
Our Armed Forces have first call on the blood vou
donate. Because ... to the man wounded in combat,
blood is life itself. And—to the veteran recuperating
in a service hospital, blood is what it takes to make
him whole and well again.
What’s more, you yourself may need blood in the
eveni oi nre, exp»oiiuii or other disaster. And to .ue
child threatened with Polio, blood may mean the differ
ence between crippling disfigurement and recovery.
So, you see, there are many reasons why you
should give blood now. And again. And
