The Standard Ford V-8, with 60-horse
power engine, gives you a lot of car for
a little money.
300,000 new owners acclaimed the
“thrifty 60” last year. Hundreds a day
are buying it in 1938. Why ?
Because it is priced low includes
essential equipment without extra
charge—and goes farther between
filling stations than any Ford car
“Thrifty Sixty" FORD V-8
ever built. Owners all over the country
report averages of 22 to 27 miles on 3
single gallon of gasoline.
But economy isn’t all the story by any
means. The Standard “60” is built with
the same precision as the De Luxe “85,”
and has the same 112-inch wheelbase
chassis. It is easy to look at and ride in
—as well as easy to buy and run.
There’s a Ford dealer near you.
THE JACKSON HERALD, JEFFERSON, GEORGIA
LIVING IN A “CAST*
Editor of The Citizens Times: 1
want a letter or card from every one
that has been in a cast, or is in one,
now, telling how long the cast has
been on, and if it hurts the wearer.
I also want to know when the cast
was or will be removed, and if re
moved, and if removing it hurts.
Was the cast made necessary by
accident, disease, or bone trouble at
birth?
I have seen little children who
were born with crooked feet or legs
and arms, weak back, and so on. I
have seen older people with broken
arms, legs, fingers, feet, back, neck,
joints, that had to be put in cast for
protection against re-breaking, or
slipping out of place. Now, here is
my story:
I have been in bed twenty-two
months with three different casts.
The first I suffered a lot. The sec
ond 1 didn’t suffer as much as with
the first, and with the third, not as
much as the second. One more, the
fourth, is sure to be necessary, and
probablv the fifth. But lam feeling
much better than I did a year ago.
1 have been in the hospital seven
times, and have had twenty-nine X
rays. Seventeen or eighteen doctors
have seen and examined me in the
twenty-two months. I have had one
operation on my left side and hip.
Have had to be drained since June
a year ago. My doctor says I will
finally get able to go about, but not
able to do hard manual work. But
it will seem good to get out again
and enjoy the fresh air and sun
shine. lam forty years old, and this
is my first sickness. It has been aw
ful. Many times I have suffered
pain worse than death.
I said in beginning that 1 wanted
a letter or card from every person
who has been in a cast. This in
cludes parents who have little chil
dren who are now or have been in
casts. Also, those who have nursed
patients in casts. My reason for
asking this is to find whether or not
I am different from other people.
I have suffered so much pain that I
hate to think of going to the hospit
al for a change of cast or X-ray or
anything. It is more painful to me
to have a cast removed than anew
one put on.
If anyone who reads this has ever
had a cast removed without pain, I
would like to know what kind of
tool was used in the process. The
removers used on the casts that I
have worn look like pruners. They
pinch and press against boney places
and hurt, terribly. I teased my
doctor, telling him to put a zipper
in my cast, and he said he would try
it some time.
I have a mighty good doctor, and
give him credit for my being alive
today. *
I want to see how many letters
and cards I get, and plan to keep
them and read them over and over.
Not, let’s forget the past and look
ahead for more joy, less pain, bet
ter times, with food and medical
care and hospitalization for those
who are not ablp to buy. by the help
of doctors, nurses, and a more pow
erful One, Our Savior above.

A Tribute to Beth Bennett Dye
As the month of April comes
round each year, it brings back to
us very keenly the sense of loss that
we experienced on the 17th of this
month, five years ago. It was on
that day that Beth Besnett Dye bade
farewell to this life.
No gentler spirit lived in this
Circle, no heart beat more in sym
pathy with people, and no member
was better loved by us all than
Beth.
On the anniversary of her going
away, it is with hearts full of loving
remembrance that we pause and pay
tribute to her memory. Truly she
was a friend to all, and her faithful
ness and loyalty will ever be an in
spiration to those left behind.
“A In a Rote Jar”
As in a rose jar filled with petals
sweet,
Blown long ago in some old garden
place,
Mayhap where all, a little space
Drank deep of friendship’s love and
knew that life was fleet.
Or filled with fragrant leaves once
gathered from a lost retreat
By one who never will again retrace,
Her silent footsteps, one whose gen
tle face
Was fairer than the roses at her
feet;
Po deep within the vase of memory
We keep our dust of roses fresh and
dear,
As in the days before our band knew
the hurt
Of time and death.
Nor aught can take from us the
haunting fragrance that still
lingers bere.
As in a rose jar, so within our
hearts.
