Ree Ella Robbins
Has Third Birthday
Inspired By Knights Of Yore
It'i a long call from King Arthur's Round-Table Knights to today's
mechanical products, but the similarity between them is more than
just coincidence.
That's the opinion of Brooks Stevens, noted Industrial stylist, who
here points out the evolutionary design linking a modern outboard
motor with the helmet worn by armored knights.
"Medieval artisans were experts in functional design," Stevens
explains, "and this styling is being recaptured in today's industrial
motifs. A typical example is Johnsons' new thirty h.p. outboard, a
chrome-trimmed custom-styled unit which, appropriately enough in
view of its design origin, is called the 'Javelin ."
"We call it 'advanced' styling but it's a modern adaptation of the
art of the ancient craftsmen."
The Javelin is one of nine 1956 models in which the manufacturer
places emphasis on style and color.
Mrs. L. L. Robbins entertained
with a party Wednesday after
noon, December 7 in honor of the
third birthday of her daughter,
Ree Ella.
Birthday cake, favors and open
ing of the gifts were the main
attractions of the afternoon.
Guests present were Renee
Snider, Kit Anderson, Ruby and
Becky Fulleton, Michael Wag
oner, Matt Warren, Mrs. Nels
Anderson, Mrs. Dee Knudeson,
Mrs. Paul Warren and Mrs. Mer
lin Wagoner.

Tfce answer to everyday
Insurance problems
By Turner Van Marter
Bryant
QUESTION: A young friend
of our son doesn't own a car
but is engaged to a girl who
does have a car. When they
go out together he always
drives and I've heard him
say he'd like to carry Lia
bility Insurance of his own.
Would this be possible?
ANSWER: Certainly and it
is a very wise thing for him
to do. The premium for that
kind of coverage is very low,
too.
If you'll cddress your own
insurance questions to this
office, we'll try to give you
th eorreet answers and
there will be no charge or
obligation of any kind.
