Poor dog. Do vets still do this?
DOGS BARK TONED DOWN BY OPERATION
Toning down the barking of noisy dogs is the reported accomplishment of an Atlanta, Ga., veterinarian, who has performed the feat upon the pets of a number of apartment dwellers. In the simple, painless operation that he has devised, a dog’s vocal cord is relieved of a small V-shaped wedge on either side. No danger to the animal is involved, it is said, and the only after effect is that an ear-splitting bark is muffled to a dulcet tone that can cause no complaints from neighbors. In the photo at left, a pet is under treatment.
While the idea of a cross country cruise ship was pretty far fetched, the technology described seems to work. The Rolligon corporation is actually a going concern that makes big vehicles with really big rolligons.
CROSS-COUNTRY CRUISE SHIP
You’ll be riding on air — squashy bags of it that roll happily over every obstacle.
By Frank Tinsley
THE crazy, mixed-up amphibious train shown on this page, half bulldozer, half river boat and all Tom Swift, is only an adaptation of a vehicle now being operated experimentally by the Army.
The rolligon wagon rolls slowly but implacably on a number of limp blimps—sausage-like air bags without much air in them. These saggy bladders are a vast improvement over the wheel when it comes to moving things over sand, muck, rocks and rubble. For several years the boating public has been using low-pressure rollers for moving boats on every type of ground.

That certainly is a big bomb. Exactly what would you use to carry that? Especially in 1950.
Right, man is dwarfed beside Earthquake bomb which is 27 ft. high, weighs 42,000 pounds and could level many city blocks
This seems like a really, really bad idea for a party game. What questions would you ask to guarantee an interesting evening?
Also, I love how it can also be used as a kissing meter and that the girl who gets kissed is referred to as “the victim”.

By Tony Karp

This picture represents freedom. The freedom to have a three-way with two hot chicks in the middle of a lake.
Study This Picture
IT REPRESENTS FREEDOM. It represents our liberty to do those things we choose to do—to buy, with our earnings, the comforts that appeal to us—and to enjoy them as we will.
It represents the American way of distributing fine things with equality. The factory watchman, the mill superintendent, the millionaire yachtsman—all may and DO drive the same model Sea-Horse. All enjoy the same perfection of performance.

Something about this picture gives me the willies. Maybe it’s the serious expression on the “judges” face, but I just feel like something bad is about to happen.
Children Conduct Traffic Courts
School children conduct a dozen unique traffic courts in Hamtramck, Mich. Pupils who violate safety rules by jaywalking, hitching auto rides, or crossing streets against the lights, are given tickets and must appear before the student judges. If found guilty, they are penalized by losing some of their privileges or by being given extra work to do. As a result of the scheme, this city of 50,000 inhabitants has established a remarkable record for safety among children of school age.
