Public Library ’
Avis Van Hoy
Thru the efforts of the mem
bers of the recently organized
Jaycee-Ettes, over fifty books
were personal donations from
the members of the organization,
and at a later date, they hope
to be able to purchase childrens
Irooks for the youngsters who are
patrons of this library.
According to Mrs. Mary Colley,
president of this very worth
while organization, any persons
wishing to donate books but un
able to take them to the library,
can notify her or Avon Sharpe
and the books will be picked up
and taken to the library. Also
any other donations given in the
name of the organization will
be gladly accepted, and since
the completion of the painting
of the new shelves, there is suf
ficient shelf space for many
more books. Phone numbers to
have books picked up are NO
4-1248 or NO 4-1170.
Also as library news, we rec
ently received our regular ship
ment of books from the Medford
library and as usual these cover
a large range of interests. Non
FORD
Special features put
first
in performance...three big awards prove it!
A new record at Indianapolis Speedway
(An average speed of 107.126 m.p.h.
for a full five hundred miles) . . . The
Manufacturer's Trophy at Daytona
Beach (Top award winner for all-
around stock car performance)... Class
A Award in Mobilgas Economy Run
(greatest ton-miles per gallon)
There is no other car in the low-
priced field that comes near to equaling
these performance records. Because no
other in the low-priced three gives you
such performance, handling and riding
features as:
1. Highest Torque V- 8 Engine in the field.
Ford gives you faster acceleration,
power when you need it—even more
than comptitor's extra-cost "power
packs!”
2. 15% easier steering. Tests prove that
Ford is up to 15% easier to steer
than its nearest competitor. All bear
ings arc precision, anti-friction type
to make driving far less tiring.
3. Ball-joint suspension with wide-base
control arms for better steering,
more stabilized wheel alignment.
4. 3 Forward Speeds with Ford-o-matic
— provides greater flexibility, better
down-hill braking. Other automatic
drives in low-priced field have only
2 forward speeds.
These are only some of the many
fine car features that you get in Ford
