The all new C70 is one o f the first
open-top ears in the prem ium seg­
ment with both a steel roof anti
space for four adults. The C 70 intel­
ligent structural rigidity, am azing
list o f standard features, agreeable
driving characteristics, and all-out
good looks in both convertible or
coupe format, makes an excellent
choice.
The all-new Volvo C 70 was d e­
veloped to offer new standards of
preventive and protective safety in
the convertible market. The car has

several solutions that make it unique
am ong open-top cars. The lack o f a
fixed roof has been com pensated
for by reinforcem ents in the struc­
ture and sophisticated safety tech­
nology. O ne unique exam ple is the
new door-m ounted inflatable cu r­
tain, which is part o f the enhanced
protection system for side impacts.
Since the door-m ounted inflatable
curtain cannot be fitted within the
headliner like other Volvos, it is
fitted in the door and inflates up­
wards when it is deployed

the T5, which m eansa light-pressure

Murrayhill Celebrates
Job Loss Brings
Little league team finishes third in the world
NASCAR Suit
Second baseman Sam Albert scores during Saturday's Oregon-
Georgia Little League U.S. Championship game in South
Williamsport, Pa.
It was a great run and great fun
for the Murrayhill Little League team
that captivated the state during the
World Series in South Williamsport,
Pa., but Saturday’s 7-3 loss to C o­
lumbus, G eorgia tied them for the
third place title with M exico after
weather w iped out a tie-breaking
game.

T h e 12 a ll- s ta r b o y s fro m
Beaverton were the first Oregon
team to m ake it to the Little League
W orld Series since 1958.
In the U. S. Cham pionship game
S aturday, M urrayhill fell behind
in the first inning a sG e o rg iac am e
out strong and built a 3-0 lead. By
the third inning a hom e run w ith
men on base by M urrayhill k n o t­
ted the score at three ap iece and
from there it w as a p itch in g chess
m atch as both team s left m en on
base.
G eorgia’s bats woke up again in
the sixth and final inning and four
runs crossed the plate to build a
c o m fo rta b le c u s h io n , and the
M urrayhill batters hit consecutive
fly balls to end the game.
On M onday, G eorgia went on to
defeat Japan 2-1 to win the W orld
Series. A day earlier driving rains
soaked the field and ended the ad­
venture for M urrayhill team, w ip­
ing out not only theirchance to face
M exico in the third-place game, but
its lone shot at an international
team and an opportunity to finish
the series with a win.
However, they still m ade waves
this sum m er, ev idenced by the
grand and spirited reception at
Portland International Airport when
the team arrived home late M on­
day. Portland’s Royal Rosarians
also showed up at to extend co n ­
gratulations and attach a small rose,
symbolic o f the city, to each b o y 's
uniform.
“ I'm exhausted,” said second
baseman Sam Albert, nearly yelling
to be heard above the m edia and
fam ily frenzy at the airport. “ It's
really good to be hom e again.”
