Ford Phaeton
THE Ford Phaeton, shown above, is equally pcpulr.r as a family car and
as a sport car for young people. The seating arrangement provides for the
driver and one passenger in front and three passengers in the rear. Seats
are upholstered in two-tone cross cobra grain artificial leather.
The top is of the quick collapsing type, easily handled by one person,
and folds flat. The windshield, of Triplex shatter-proof glass, is of the folding
type and -can be laid flat forward. The windshield wings fold over it, em
phasizing the sport effect of the car.

EARLY COUNTY NEWS. BLAKELY. GEORGIA
HAVE YOU INSURED
YOUR BABY?
It 13 a well .mown fact that young j
children are more susceptible to mea- I
sles, mumps, diphtheria, scarlet fever,
tuberculosis and typhoid fever than
grown people. This is unfortunate
because it is extremely important
that every child be brought up to ma
turity as free as possible from the
effects of disease. Plants and trees
must be carefully cultivated and pro
tected from harmful influences while
they are tender and small. Every
farmer knows this. Just so, the same
rule applies to children. The growing
child needs a well balanced body. Ev
ery part must grow at a normal, uni
form rate. Bruise a young sapling. It
may grow up into a tree finally but
it will not be strong enough to with
stand strong winds. Injure the vital
organs of a young child: It may grow
up finally but it will never recover
physical perfection. No disease, not
even measles, mumps or whooping
cough, leaves the child as sound phy
sically as he would have been if he
had not had the disease.
It was not so many years ago when
it was considered proper for parents
deliberately to expose their children
to measles, mumps and whooping
cough so that they would contract
these diseases and be bothered
with them later in life. We now know
that this was a very dangerous prac
tice, especially with regard to mea
sles and whooping cough. Do you
know that 400 children died from
whooping cough in Georgia during
1927 and 1928? Do you know, also,
that 241 people died of measles during
these two years and most of these
were young children? Diphtheria killed
400 and typhoid fever 1,100. These
figures refer to actual deaths. Thous
ands of children had these diseases
and recovered. Or did they recover?
Yes, they recovered from the disease
but not entirely from the after effects.
If time permitted, I could tell you more
about these after effects. I think, how-,
ever, that it is more important that
I talk about the prevention of these
diseases in young children.
I only wish it were possible to give
you a simple method of preventing
each and every kind of infectious dis
ease. Some day this may be possi
ble. At the present time three of
these diseases can be prevented by
vaccination, namely: smallpox; diph
theria and typhoid fever.
Every intelligent person knows
about the value of vaccination against
smallpox. Perhaps every one of you
can show a vaccination scar on your
arm. Some of you were vaccinated
during childhood and some later in
life. Smallpox is a rare disease be
cause most of us are protected by vac
cination. Those of you who have
children or expect to have them will
no doubt see to it that they are vac
cinated by the time they are old
enough to go to school. But why wait
until then? Any good pediatrician, or
doctor of children, will advise you that
the best time to vaccinate your chil
dren is when they are only a few days
or weeks old. This is advised not
merely to get early protection but be
cause babies at this age suffer less
discomfort and are not able to scratch
the scab off and contaminate the sore
with their fingers. Large, unsightly
scars are usually due to the poison
ous infection from dirty fingernails
and not to the vaccine itself.
Babies are usually immune to diph
theria during the first six months of
life. After this time, immunity is
rapidly lost. Children between the
ages of six months and six years are
very susceptible. Beyond the sixth
year natural immunity begins to de
velop so that older children and adults
rarely have the disease. Your doctor
will, therefore, advise you to have
your baby vaccinated against diph
theria before it is six months old.
Here again the injections give very
little discomfort, while in older chil
dren there may be some uncomforta
ble reaction though never severe or
serious.
Babies are usually immune to ty
phoid fever during the first year of
life. After this time they become
very susceptible and remain so
throughout their lives. Therefore, ev
ery baby should be vaccinated against
typhoid fever before reaching the age
of two. Those of you who have taken
typhoid vaccine know that for the
first twenty-four hours after the injec
tion there is sometimes an uncom
fortable reaction. The younger the
child, however, the milder the reac
tion. Babies have almost no reac
tion at all. Hence another argument
in favor of early vaccination.
It is only fair to admit that vac
cination against any of these diseases
is not an absolute protection. But in
stances of failure are rare. It every
baby born during the next ten years
were vaccinated as I have* just de
scribed, diphtheria, smallpox and ty
phoid fever in the next generation
would be rare curiosities.
Perhaps your children are no longei
babies. The same rules apply to them
also. The sooner they are vaccinated
the better the protection and the less
discomfort to them.

Serving Many Businesses
Experience of large fleet owners reveals
the unusual reliability and economy
of the new Eord
A SIGNIFICANT TRIBUTE to the value of
the new Ford is found in its increas
ing use by Federal, state and city gov
ernments and by large industrial com
panies which keep careful day-by-day cost
records. In most instances, the Ford has
been chosen only after exhaustive tests
of every factor that contributes to good
performance—speed, power, safety, com
fort, low cost of operation and up-keep,
reliability and long life.
Prominent among the companies using
the Ford are the Associated Companies
of the Bell System, Armour and Com
pany, The Borden Company, Continental
Baking Corporation, Firestone Tire and
Rubber Company, General Electric Com
pany, Goodyear Tire and Rubber Com
pany, Kellogg Company, Knickerbocker
Ice Company, Morton Salt Company,
Pillsbury Flour Mills Company, The
Procter and Gamble Company, and
Swift & Company.
Each of these companies uses a large
number of Ford cars and trucks. The
Associated Companies of the Bell System
use more than eight thousand.
Modern business moves at a fast pace
and it needs the Ford. Daily, in count
less ways and places, it helps to speed
the production and delivery of the
world’s goods and extend the useful ser
vice of men and companies.
Constant, steady operation over many
thousands of miles emphasizes the ad
vantages of the sound design of the Ford
car, its high quality of materials, and
L- '
cured by such deed due and payable.
A deed will be executed to the
purchaser at said sale as provided in
said security deed.
Said sale will be conducted by
Lowrey Stone as the duly appointed
and constituted agent and attorney
of said The Union Central Life In
surance Company.
Said real estate will be sold as
the property of Judson W. Swann.

unusual accuracy in manufacturing.
Beneath its graceful lines and beautiful
colors there is a high degree of me
chanical excellence.
An example of the value built into the
Ford is the use of more than twenty ball
and roller bearings. They are hidden
within the car and you may never see
them. Yet they play an important part
in satisfactory, economical performance.
Their function is similar to the jewels of
a fine watch.
Throughout the Ford chassis, a ball
or roller bearing Is us«d at every place
where it is needed to rcdiide friction
and wear and give smooth, reliable me
chanical operation.
At many points, as on the transmission
counter-shaft, clutch release, fan and
pump shaft, and front drive shaft, these
ball and roller bearings are used where
less costly types of bearings might be
considered adequate.
Additional instances of the high
quality built into the Ford are the ex
tensive use of steel forgings, fully
enclosed four-wheel brakes, Rustless
Steel, four Houdaille double-acting hy
draulic shock absorbers, aluminum pis
tons, chrome silicon alloy valves,
torque-tube drive, three-quarter floating
rear axle, and the Triplex shatter-proof
glass windshield.
The Ford policy has always been to
use the best possible material for each
part and then, through large produc
tion, give it to the public at low cost.
