P.UUUC LiuhAliy The NEW BERN V01.UME9 NEW BERN, N. C„ FRIDAY, MARCH 3, 1967 NUMBER 48 Our thanks to Sara Shrlner, a native of New Bern, for phon ing us from Washington Mon day to tell us about Senator Sam Ervin’s automobile ac cident. Breaking as it did ttie first of the week, the story was well publicized before we would be going to press, but we passed word along as related to us to otoers. Sara works in toe Senate Of fice Building, and is one of Er vin's admirers. She visited toe scene of toe misht^, and later phoned toe indestructible Sen ator to make sure that his col lision with toe Supreme Court Building had damaged him no more than his differences with toe ei^t Justices who hand down opinions inside toe struc ture. Curious to know whether Had- icol, toe tonic that swept New Bern and toe rest of toe coun try a number of years ago, was still around, we inquired at a local drug store toe other day. We were informed that toe store had a bottle or two in stock, and averages selling a a bottle a month. A far cry indeed from toe days when folks around here bought literally thousands of botUes of toe stuff. In fact, the demand far exceed ed toe supply, and in some places it was scarce it was sneaked from under toe coun ter to certain customers. In all probability, toe pro motion of Hadicol was the clev erest piece of exploitation in the last half century. You'D recall that a song about it was played incessantly by radio sta tions, providing the manufac turer with priceless publicity. As might be expected, count less jokes attesting to toe re markable powers of Hadicol made toe rounds. It is not un reasonable to surmise that this avalanche of humor had its ori gin from a source fairly dose to toe origin of toe tonic itself. Not toe least of its effective ingredients was toe alcohol it contained. A lot of good sisters and brethren who would have been insulted if you had of fered them a toddy on even toe coldest morning found their in nards warmed and their spirits lifted most pleasantly by each svdg of Hadicol toey ushered down their throat. We've been told that in Loui siana, toe first batches of toe tonic were bottled in a back yard garage, no gent expecting to have a good time would think of heading for a squsire dance without a bottle or maybe two on his person. Of course, before Hadicol made its appearance on the North Cai'olina scene, quite a few discerning Tar Heels had already discovered that Yae- ger's Cod Liver Oil could give a guy a l)rlghter outlook in a matter of minutes, if he didn't adhere too closely to toe pre scribed dosage on toe bottle. In one town in a neighbor ing county, certain torlsty in- di^duals were so saturated with toe oil that a string of cats trailed them every time toey left toe privacy of their home. Of course, wlto so many im bibers to trail toe cats work ed overtime and ended up with ulcdrs We hope you've fallen heir to a copy of toe Mhrch issue of toe Dodge Motor Company's (Continued on page 6) • • ♦ • * to ;; I* *• !* n ;; ii U \ uliilllllillliliy BE YOUKSELE—Most of us when we gel spruced un and take a trip to the photographer’s are tense and self conscious. Not Joyce Ann, eight-month-old daugh ter of the D. R. Taylors, 1501 Old Cherry Point High way. Thanks to the way Eunice Wray has of gaining the confidence of children before she snaps their picture, the young lady made herself at home and chewed contentedly on a ribbon adorning her nicest dress. A child is always cutest when doing what comes naturally, and these are the sort of moments that Eunice manages to record on film in many of her Mirror portraits. Joyce Ann, like all adults, will find that the world Is dominated by sham and pre tense when she grows up. Only a few mortals dare to be what they really are. from cradle to grave. May .Toyce Ann be one of them.
