"Doc" Eaton is in the Valley
of the Rogues supposedly attend
ing an optometrists convention.
Now a word or so about "Hiz-
zonor." Folks down home say
that he is just about the best
mayor tho old town ever had.
Furthermore he is as good in his
profession as they make em and
despite rumors to the contrary
he never "gave a seeing eye dog
wllli each pair" of "specks"
fitted.
Ii was great to visit with fun
loving "Doc" Eaton. Somehow
he brought with him that smell
of low tide and salt air from the
coast country.
Is there any cure for home
sickness? The perade Is ovi?r.
"Daddy" Penland is safe at
home in Vancouver. Wash.
There are a couple of lads out
here, however, that yesterday
made history. They are Franklin
Girard, editor of Dominews, VA
Center paper, and John Kelly,
chief of special services.
The fertile minds of this pair,
working as a team, put on a
show that will long be remem
bered by everyone who had the

Another honorl Another triumph! Among all car$ in America, the 1950 Mercury was the official
PACE CAR for the world-famous Indianapolis 500-mile Race! IT'S ANOTHER GREAT EVENT OF THE
YEAR IN WHICH MERCURY HAS HELD THE SPOTLIGHT OF ATTENTION. First ... as Sweepstakes Winner in
the Grand Canyon Economy Run at 26.5 miles per gallon ... the big 3600-pound Mercury proved
itself "America's No. 1 Economy Car.' And now-at speeds close to 100 miles per hour-Mercury
paced motordom's biggest event of the year with the same "High-power Compression" engine that
will provide your biggest thrill of the year when you "test-drive" it at our showrooms. Ten minutes behind
the wheel, and you'll agree with W. Wilbur Shaw, Presided of the Indianapolis Speedway, that
Mercury was PACE CAR "because of its many contributions to the automotive industry." Mercury's
"readability" is unmatched in its price field. So is its "Stedi-Line" steering, "Lounge-Rest" ride, and
flashing V-type, eight cylinder performance! And all the luxury features that you'd expect
to pav extra for, you'll find BETTER ... and as standard equipment ... in a Mercury!
