Take That, You Cur! As you’ve surely heard. Postmaster General John A. Gronouski is permitting postmen who encounter unfriendly dogs on their rounds to arm themselves with pepper bombs. A whiff or' two from these spray cans — the active ingredient being pepper extract — is said to take the doggedest pooch’s mind off a postman s log and send him flying, tail between legs. This assumes, however, that the postman has accurate aim and is sufficiently quick on the draw. In tests of the pepper bomb on attacking dogs in Detroit, Miami and San Francisco, it is interesting to note, the spray was only 84 per cent effective. “In the remaining cases,” explained the postmaster general, “the lack of success was generally due to such factors as missing the animal altogether and bringing the spray into play too late.” This makes it pretty clear to us that the Post Office Department’s responsibil-

Garland is another Wisconsin development and we know’ very little about it. We are Mill partial to the Newton variety. It has some disease resistance that will pull it through in adverse seasons. There is some good news out of Missouri. They have a new variety of hybrid corn called MO 12. It looks‘like an excellent yielder, a white kemeled com and a doublecross hybrid that should make it disease resistant and stand up welt It was released for planting in 1963.

At that time people spent about 23 cents of their after-tax income dollar for food. At today's prices we could get the same 1938 style groceries for 14 cents. Actually. today people are spending about 19 cents for food of each dollar they receive. Compared with 1938, we are buying more, buying better quality, and getting a lot of quick-fix services and a lot of pretty packages. •Rite W cent figure is the lowest percentage of income ever spent for food by any people at any time in history according to the Grocery Manufacturers of America, a trade association. Incidentally, the president of the association is with the Dr. Pepper Company, a good product but not always consdered a part of the grocery bill. Read the CLASSIFIEDS!

ity will not end with merely furnishing the spray cans to postmen. Courses in target practice and in whipping the spray can out of a pocket or holster and into action are clearly needed. Perhaps the department could encourage proficiency in these skills by holding national pepper bomb-shooting competitions annually along with quickdraw contests. The western regional winner of the latter event, of course, would be known as the “Fastest Pepper Bomb in the West.” But even this won’t entirely eliminate the dog threat for postmen.. There will still be a sneaky or exceptionally fast dog who can bite and run before a postman can unlimber his defensive artillery. It is obvious that the next development must be a distant early warning network to give postmen time to prepare themselves for any and all canine attacks.

The public will have to judge whether dr not this is valid reason for withholding information from the American people on such an important matter.

How can I convince thia girls mother that I’m not a bad guy just because I wear a uniform? Please answer this in the paper as there are about a million other guys who would like to know. * A Soldier Dear Soldier: I guess you can’t blame her toe much. Men in uniform are known for taking too many liberties.’ I agree that all soldiers are not wolves in Military Green, but you’ll have a rough time proving IL Present yourself in ‘dries and hope that her parents will view you in a more favorable light Dear Amy: My daughter has been married about a year. Since then, her husband will not allow her to have much to do with her father or me. Last summer while I was aick, I asked her to come help me out She told her husband and he blew his top. He came to my house while I was sick in bed and screamed at me from the top of his lungs. He wouldn’t let my daughter come to help me. I was to hurt that I am crying to this day everytime I think of that big jerk. He doesn’t want us to call or visit her and he won’t let her call or visit us. When they do come, he limits her stay to a few minutes. I never did anything to hurt him What’s wrong with that guy? A Sick Mother ’ Dear Mother: A person who stoops to buDyfng and browbeating is suffering from an emotional disturbance. Your son-in-law should see a doctor about his mental condition, and your daughter, who tolerates this and permits her parents to be mistreated, should accompany him.

I hold no claim as a critic, Mt I will take the time to read your work and give you my honest opinion. Send it along. • • • Dear Amy: I am in my late 20’s and have gone with lots of fellows, but never fell in love. I met a wonderful man 6 months ago and knew from the start that he was the one for me. My parents liked him too, until they found out that he was married and has two children. They told me that a divorced man is no good and they don’t want me to have anything to do with him. They told him never to come to the house again. I decided not to see him for a few weeks to see if I really loved him. I haven’t been able to work, sleep or eat I’m going crazy and don’t know what to do. I hate to hurt my family but I love him-and want him more than anything in the world. If they would only try-to forget about his past marriage, after all, anyone can make a mistake. I’m sure that they could learn to love him as much as I do if they would only give him a chance. : Don’t you think so, Amy? After all, I have waited a long time for the right one and I’m not a ' young kid, so I think that I i should know what I’m doing.

’64 Corvair Monza by Chevrolet /■J gfrr ' try 1 UH Corvair Monza C-

It’s got a frisky new engine (that puts superior traction under you)

Ever see a Corvair wearing tire chains? Not likely. And it’s not often you’ll find a Corvair owner bothering to switch over to snow tires either. Why? Rear-engine traction. The engine weight over Corvair’s rear wheels gives them remarkable gripping power without any assist from special winter driving paraphernalia. Reassuring to know this time of year—and also in the months to come when all that tidy white countryside turns into a melting pot that’s likely to add to the

misery. . Another thing about Corvair s j engine: It’s bigger this year.
