"This Ls, as much as anything,
an educational campaign," stated
Mrs. Brigham and Mr*. White.
"We hope to place in each home
a booklet lieting the seven dan-
ger signals of cancer...through
early detection, countless lives
"The generous donations of in-
dividuals are desperately needed
to continue the research programs
now underway, which seek to end
this dread disease," commented
the local leaders. "When you are
contacted, we sincerely hope you
will help as much as possible."
In the fight abainst cancer,
progress has been made in certain j
directions through new techni-!
ques in the use of drugs, radi-
ation and surgery.
The American Cancer Society
reports that as a result of ad-
vanced knowledge in treating the
disease, the number of Ameri-
cans now alive who have had
cancer and have gone for five
years or more without recurrence
is now over 1,2000,000.
Important new victories are in
sight. Through a better under-
standing of viruses and the de-
velopment of more effective chem-
icals, dramatic progress may be
achieved soon. One leader in
research only this week at Dal-
las noted that a vaccine for use in
leukemia cases is foreseen in the
next 10 years.
Rusk was the losing pitcher. Has-
sell and McElroy also pitched for
the Eagles.
# Farm Bureau
(Continued from Page 1)
farm machinery, equipment, and
agricultural products from the
state sales tax.
Price stated that it was Im-
possible to commit yourself again-
st taxes but that he would op-
pose it unless the state sales tax
was absolutely necessary.
Dietz said the was opposed to
the sales tax on the farming e-
quipment and products.
Mrs. Bodie said. "I will work
exemption in the two percent
sales taxes involved in the pur-
chase of products sold In the
regular course of business."
Concerning the controversial
question of redistrictlng the state
legislative members so that more
representation could be given
cities. Dietz said he agreed with
the Farm Bureau that the House
of Representatives should be on
a population basis and the Senate
should be on the present area
basis.
Mrs. Bodie said that the leg-
islative representation should be
set up on the present constitu-
tional basis with both area and
population represented in accor-
dance with the Farm Bureau's
ideas.
Price said the House of Repre-
sentatives should be on a popu-
lation basis and the Senate should
be on a district basis which would
be frozen to represent specific
areas of the state.
All three candidates agreed
that state laws which make it
mandatory for farmers to parti-
cipate in promotion programs for
the sale of agriculture products
and for expanded research would
be inadvisable.
All said they oppose a mini-

mum wage for farm labor.
Concerning whether or not land
owners and lessees should be li-
able for the accidental death or
injury of a trespasser, Mrs. Bodie
said "Trespassers have no
rights."
Dietz replied that a land owner
or lessee should not be libel for
trespassers who are injured or
felled on private property and that
a constitutional amendment
should be introduced.
Price said, "No, I can't say
I would follow it (making land
owners not libel for trespassers)
straight on the board." He saidl
if a child falls in a well or gets]
hurt in machinery a different íntit-l
ter was involved. "However,!
these libel case* are presently
out of hand," said Price.

Buick has a great transmission.
An automobile transmission, we grsnt you,'
isn't the most soul-stirring subject on earth.
Nothing to look at either.
But if you'd like for your next new car to
i give you a better break on performance
< and gasoline mileage, something happened
last week to be your guide.
The Los Angeles to New York Mobil
Economy Run proved one thing for sure.
There's quite a difference in the transmissiop
of new cars.
Three out of four for Buick
The long-time champion in the transmission
league—Buick—walked off with the 1964
economy pennant. No other single make of
car won as many events as Buick. Fout
entries, three winners.
The winning Specials carried the new Super
Turbine 300 automatic transmission; the
LeSabre was equipped with the Super Turbine
400 (both optional at extra cost). They're the
latest in a long line of Buick transmissions
well known for their smoothness and ab>
aence of "shift feel". The Super Turbine is a
refined and improved torque converter type
to help you safely pa cars and trucks as
well as gas stations. You'll hear a lot about
it in the next couple of years as this modern
kind of transmission is adopted by more and
moss car builders..
What about engines?
Of course, an efficient transmission gets
more efficient when teamed up with a lean,
agile engine. The winning Buick power
plants were our new V-6 and V-8.
The 300 cubic inch V-8 is the winning Buick
Special (the lowest priced of all Buicks) and
the Buick LeSabre (the lowest priced big
Buick) is like a well-conditioned fighter. All
muscle, no fat. Weighs in at far less than
other V-8's of similar punch. It took every
other V-8 in th« Economy Run.
Your type of driving—regular gas
The Run was through cities and towns,
across super highways, in traffic, out of
traffic. This was not race track driving or
proving ground driving. This was your kind
of driving—even though you can't expect
to get as good mileage as these expert
drivers in their finely tuned production cars.
The distance was 3,243 miles, about what
most families log in four months, 'All three
Buicks used regular gas.
So the Economy Run is not just a cross
country tour for the Mobil people and a few
car buffs. It's a reliable test of a car's power
team and what it's able to squeeze out of
its fuel.
We don't expect everybody to rush out this
week-end to buy a new Buick just because
we won a few economy trophies. .
There are so many other good reasons for
leaning to Buick that economy usually gets
second billing. There's styling, naturally. An
unusually great ride. Extraordinary engi-
neering and workmanship. And very young
performance. Small wonder Buick sales are
running at 11.5% over last year.
But it's nice to get economy as a plus in a
Buick. Beyond the dollars saved on gasoline,
there's a certain pride in knowing you have
a car that's built to get the most out of
every tank of gasoline.
Wouldn't You Really Rather Have
a Buick?
