And dismissed the last tired
clerk; When the Judge of the
earth says: "Close for the night,"
And asks for a balance ? What
then?
When the choir has sung it last
anthem. And the preacher has,
made hit last prayer; When the1
people have heard their last ser
mon? And the sound has died out
on the air,
When the Bible lies closed on
the altar, And the pews are all
etr^ty of men And each one
stands facing his record ? And
the great Book is opened ? What
then
When the actors have played
their last drama And the mimic
has made his last fun. When the
film has flashed its last picture,
And the billboard displayed ts
last run; When the crowds seek
ing pleasure have vanished. t
And gone out in the darkness
again ? When the trumpet of
ages is sounded. And we stand up
before Him? What then?
When the bugle's call sinks into
silcnce And the long marchng,
columns stand still. When the
captain repeats his last orders:
And they've captured the last fort
and hill, And the flag has been
hauled from the mast head. j
And the wounded afield check
ed in. And a world that rejected
its Saviour, Is asked for a rea
son ? What then
The above searching lines are
calculated to make a thinking
persons, think! When the bugle
call sounds and the great angel
announces that time shall be no
more ? Reader, if you are not

The American pharmaceutical
industry, howerer, wu workinf to
brine aown the coat. And fortu
nately for all of us, tha highly com
petitive pharmaceutical companies
did. By Uteearly 1950' i they devej
oped laboratory techniques and
mass-production methods that
brought the cost of a tablet of
penioQin diwn to leas than the
price of a candy bar.
An eoually dramatic develop
ment took place in the treatment of
liabetes. A feneration ago a victim
jf this disease (and a two- to-one
:hance of an early death in ? diabetic
?nu. How eagerly he would have
paid any pries fora drug like insulin.
Insulin, too, at fint could bo
made only in comparatively small
batches and at high cost. Today,
the pharmaceutical laboratories
have learned how to turn out ad
vanced forms of insulin compounds
in quantities sufficient to meet the
needs of all who require the drug.
And the price has been ilashed to
less than six per cent of what it
was in the 1930's.
A diabetic now can often live
out his normal expectancy by the
protection of a daily insulin dosage
which coats little more than half
the price of a package of cigarettes.
By using a considerable per
centage of their earnings to expand
reeearch work, pharmaceutical
companies not only make older
drugs cheaper, they continue to
develop new and better drugs.
Here, again, the diabetea sufferer ia
? good cue in point.
Recently, many diabetica havt
been able to discard the hypo
dermic needle that muat be naed
to administer insulin. Compound!
have been developed that can b?
taken orally. New oral drugs, lot
example, free many diabetics from
the hypodermic shots. A tablet car
be taken by mouth and will control
some types of diabetes (or th?
entire 24-hour period.
There is no way to measure the
pal 114 of a life-saving medicine. For
who would put a price- tag on life?
But we can measure the cost of
drugs that havs added years of life
for millions of Americans. And the
Sgures are reassuring.
A recent survey showed Amer
icans spend an average of nearly
|53 a year for alcohokcbeverages,
more than $36 for tobacco products
ind only about $18 for prescrip
tions. Contrasting our outlay on
irinks against drugs, we seem to
be getting a good bargain at the
prescription counter.
Rock 'N' Roll Tunes Send

PHILADELPHIA (API - Bam
boo is a real gone gorilla now.
He used to blow up a scary storm
among the city's zoo fans. Even
his slightest scowl would do it No

It all came out tnio the open

greater volume than meaning.
What used to be a terrible-tem

gorilla with ears cocked for hot

who turned girlish and esthetic,

North Carolina is frequently referred to as the moat progressive State in the South.
Yet if you break down the State into areas, we believe you will find that thia reputation is .
the result of the progressive development of certain sections of the State, most of which also
subscribe to the "legal control" system of the sale of beer and ale.
A progressive community is an enlightened community which respects the rights of others
and is tolerant of the wishes and beliefs of thoee who profess a difference of opinion. Mew
industry prefers an enlightened community. -
New industry means progress to a community, and progress calls for a practical approach
to all matters affecting a law-abiding citisenry.
In a country where the 4 Freedoms are the accepted creed, there is no room for the outmoded
laws of prohibition.
The "legal control" laws governing the sale of beer and ale in North Carolina were deeigned
to give an enlightened approach to differences of personal opinion. They are working better
than any other system ever devised.

Adjacent to Bamboo's cage is
a room where the keepers relax,

of the window and peering into

"He'd stay there for hours, just
