CRAWFORD EVOLUTIONARY CHANGES BUT NO MIRACLES ARE FORESEEN DURING THE NEXT TEN YEARS jytm The next ten years will bring many changes-of an evolutionary nature, but no miracles, says Changing Times, The Kiplinger- magazine, in its January issue. The preview of the times ahead was preparefl in collaboration with a number of, W'" . 1 ' i specialists in particular fields, and was based on the working assump tion of no war. For the country as a whole, says Changing Times, the decade will be active and relatively prosperous. Gray Funeral Home Clinton. S. £. v FUNERAL DIRECTORS ...and...

( Housekeeping will get steadily eas ier with more gadget^, to lighten the, servantless hoiisewife's burden.

Maybe you’ve noticed the extra “git up and travel” they have—glimpsed the wide, curving windshields (one piece in most models)—noted, approvingly, that the typical Buick taper is now found in all Buick fenders. M ay be you’ve even heard some things... That there are more than a dozen-and-a- half models to choose, from. That there . are three power plants in the Buick line —all of higher compression, all stepped up in power. JIhat all models are big and roomy inside —some rear seats are better than a_ foot wider than before!—yet in every instance, shorter over-all, so easier to handle, park and garage. Above all, maybe you’ve heard of exciting news on price... That Dynaflow Drive, for instance — standard on Roadmaster models, op tional on all others-now costs 20% less than on 1949 models.
