JUNIORS Team No. 1 first with 21-11, making a thorough investiga lion. I would like to urge Everyone to talk with one or more of the members. They are Charles Tucker, chair man, of Owings; James Was son of Hickory Tavern; Frank Dial of Trinity Ridge; Marvin DeYoung of Clinton; and C. R. Workman of Kinards. I’m also sure that you can call on any of these tion. The county pays for their findings. Mr Tucker was not able to attend but Mr. Wasson did explain the program as one that would | be of great benefit to the county and was very en thused that people in the county were becoming in- the upkeep and repair for this terested. However, he em equipment.

By this, I’m talking about build ing homes in rural areas. I’m talking about tying down in Laurens County so to speak. Industry could very well look with favor. These things have nothing to. do do with fire prevention but undoubtly will go along with the system. This type of thing is a business and not i something thrown together.

SHOP IN NOVEMBER RELAX IN DECEMBER A fast enough fastback. Put a Volkswagen fastback in a race with the rest of the fastbacks around today and it would lose hands down. Even at top speed it wouldn’t stand a chance against a 350 h.p. job. (Our fastback cruises at about 84.) Today a lot of people spend a lot of money on a car because it's big and fast. But the strange thing is, when they buy a car with so much speed and power, they seldom stop to think where they'll be able to use it. Do you need a 350 h.p. engine to take you downtown? Or for a ride in the country? Or for that once-a-year vacation trip? (Even v on the highway you can’t use a hundred-mile-an. hour car. Remember, the fastest you can go on most highways is only 70.) This is exactly why we made the VW Fastback the way we did. fts 65 horsepower engine gets you out on the thruway quickly. And with that many horses in a Volkswagen, there's plenty of power for highway passing. Our fastback has its engine in the rear and it’s err*cooled. (That means no water or anti-freeze.) And since it doesn't hove a lot of idle horses to feed, you'll stilkbe able to get up to 27 miles on a galloir) of gas. You can buy a sensible fastback like this for the tensible price of $2,175.* .And never miss the power you didn't pay for. GREENVILLE, & C. 29M5 * Suggested retail. Price east coast P. O.
