Ten or fifteen years ago,
country music was not the
most popular sound around,
but those people who were
country music buffs were
truly devoted to “their
sound”. Today things are
different: country music has
so spread in its popularity as
to rival the rock and soul
melodies of our world.
I have never been a fan of
“long-hair” music and have
always leaned in the direc
tion of plain old-fashioned
rock ’n roll. However, I lately
have found myself more and
more impressed with the
down-home sound of good
country music—l think that
in the recent rush to plainer
and simpler things, such as
homemade quilts and home
grown food, country musi
cians have increased in
popularity to an astounding
extent. When I recently
expressed my newfound love
for such musicians as Charlie
Pride, Freddie Fender, Tam
my Wynette and the Statler
Brothers, my children
laughed at me. Frankly, the
little angels have been in
shock anyway lately; they
got to stay up later than usual
one night a few weeks ago
and were treated to a TV
special which included Chuck
Berry. Chubby Checker and
Paul Anka. When the show
came on and I loudly
proclaimed, "Now, that’s the
kind of music they played
when I was growing up", my
little darlin's questioned my

ANNOUNCEMENT OF
RETIREMENT
I with to announce that I shall be
retiring from medical practice on
July 1, 1977. My office will remain
open, however, until October 1, 1977,
for those patients who desire to have
their medical records sent to another
physician of their choice. Any patient
of mine desiring the records to be
transferred should contact my office
prior to September 1, 1977.
1 wish to express my regret in find*
ing it necessary to retire, and likewise
to express my appreciation to all my
patients, associates and friends for the
confidence and friendship shown me
during many years of practice.
Sincerely yours,

sanity openly.
The lyrics to certain songs,
aside from the melody, are to
me the source of fame for the
country sound. The easy-to
understand words tell the
story of everyday life, and
therein lies a sound reason
for the everyday person to
develop a liking for “good old
country”. Ronnie Millsap’s
“I’m A Stand By My Woman
Man”, Tammy Wynette’s
“D-I-V-O-R-C-E” and Fred
die Fender s “I’ll Be There
Before The Next Teardrop
Falls” are all chockful of the
ideas and situations that
people can associate with.
So, I ask, then why wouldn’t
they like the music?
One particular part of
country music that I really
like is the country gospel. If
anyone were to tell me that
Tennessee Ernie Ford’s
rendition of “Amazing
Grace ” could be equaled, I
would promptly declare such
person totally wrong. I like
the family groups, too—their
singing always reminds me
of old-fashioned gospel sings
and the memories that can be
evoked.
Well. I guess I’ll have to
trade my “poodle skirt” for a
banjo and a hounddog when
some of my friends read this
column: I have one friend
who refuses to eat lunch w-ith
me when certain country
songs are played on one of
the local jukeboxes—she
even got up and left right in
the midst of a Loretta Lynn
song once'

Superstitions?
Before the dinner guests
began to arrive, the hostess
cautioned her new maid:
“remember to serve from
the left of each guest, and to
clear the dishes away from
the right. Understand?”
‘‘Yes, Ma’am,” replied the
maid. ‘‘Are you superstitious
or something?”
tCHIRO
INFORMER
Bedwetting is embarrass
ing and distressing to
children and adults alike.
Bladder pressure fails to
awaken the person automati
cally until too late. Most
devices to warn of wetting
are not very effective.
Over-tiredness, certain
foods, drinks, inflammation,
nervousness, and other fac
tors aggravate the problem.
Dietary change sometimes
helps, but does not correct
CAUSE of the malfunction.
Chiropractic procedures
usually find nerve involv
ments between brain centers
and bladder. Results in
treatment are excellent,
unless pathological condi
tions are present.
Help for this disturbing
problem is as near as your
phone. Dial 775-7193, after 1
pm daily (exc. Wed.) for Dr.
R. J. Cartwright at 540 West
Third Street.
