November 6, 1959: Alamogordo — The usual uses for the White Sands never cease. A young Danish war bride now a resident here is corresponding regularly with a favorite aunt — somewhat overweight — back in the old country. In one letter, full of wonder at things American, the young bride described the amazing things being done in the United States in the field of weight reduction, mentioning the wonder drugs and medicines used to reduce. In the same letter she related tales of the beauties of the acres of white sand near her home. To prove her point further, she mailed a box of the white sand to her aunt. A couple of weeks later she received her answer. The white reducing medicine was working wonders, her aunt reported. She already had lost 18 pounds. However, she requested, would it be possible to get the wonderful stuff in pill form? "I'm having a bit of trouble getting the grit out of my teeth after each dose."

November 6, 1984: Roswell — Therman Mirick's dog faithfully brings him his newspaper every afternoon. The only problem is it's a morning paper. The trouble started Oct. 1 when the Roswell Daily Record switched from afternoon to morning delivery. Mirick's black Labrador, "Sam Tucker of Tule Creek," has for years taken it as his duty to deliver the paper to him each afternoon, taking it from the delivery man's hand. Although the newspaper now has changed its delivery schedule, Sam is sticking to his afternoon routine. He gets it when it's delivered in the mornings, and guards it all afternoon until Mirick gets home from work. Even Mirick's wife can't get it away from him.
