The taxation and legislation
committee was concerned with a
proposed change in fence laws in
the forthcoming state legislature.
They recommend that these
changes be watched so that they
might not be detrimental to the
wheat farmer. Taxes, the need
for some ond the change in others
were discussed thoroughly. The
group favored a state sales tax
to offset local property taxes.
They were against the tifhing
of state commissions and a tight
ening of qualifications of voters
on bond issues.

that improved wheat standards
are needed in other parts of the
country. They would like to have
wheat acreage allotments an

that the farmer might better

TWO GIRLS,
A CHEVY
AND A RECORD!
A meaningful achievement
in automobile performance
Most automobile performance records are pretty
difficult to relate to the kind of day-in, day-out
driving most of us do. Running at safe and legal
speeds, a '57 Chevrolet recently chalked up an
important new coast-to-coast record on the road.
And the way it set this record is even more im
portant than the record itself!
A new '57 Chevrolet recently proved it has the quali
ties most people look for in a car-and proved it on
the roads you travel. It set a new record of less than
57 hours for the run from New York to Los Angeles
(certified by NASCAR). It was a strictly stock, V8
powered Chevy. It was driven by two young ladies.
When you consider that all the driving was done
by 98-pound Betty Skelton and her friend Caroline
Russ, the true significance of this record run becomes
apparent. It's a tribute to Chevrolet's great-hearted
V8 engine and solid road-worthiness that it could
travel day and night for 2,913 miles at safe and legal
speeds-and better the
existing record for the trip
by more than three hours.
And when a pair of young
ladies step into a car and
drive it round the clock to a
new transcontinental record,
you know that car is easy to
drive. Come try a Chevy.
