Sport cars, which have long been popular in other
parts of the country, are rapidly catching hold liere. More
nd more "little cars" are seen in the Willamette Valley and

will be an event of Sunday, August 28. All makes and types
of sport cars will be on exhibit next Sunday afternoon at
the 18th Street parking lot of the Oregon State Fairgrounds,
beginning at 1 p. m. '
Members will be busy all week shining their cars, not
just the outside, but the engine and even under the fen

view these sport cars.
Men and women, who are interested in driving as a
sport, make up the charter of the club with" a roster of 53.
