Mrs. Swink Shares Favorite Cake Recipes THE CHRONICLE, Clinton, S. C., Feb. 26, 1970—3-A Ladies Golf Assn. To Elect New Officers A new year is beginning for the Lakeside Country Club Ladies Golf Association which features BY HELEN C. CAMP Extension Home Economist I visited Mrs. Jessie Swink a tew days ago and found her in the kitchen ready to bake a cake. Baking is one of her favorite pastime. “Mrs. Pearl’s" ability in the kitchen is well known by her friends and neighbors. All the children in the community look forward to one of “Mrs. Pearl’s” decorated birthday cakes. While talking to Mrs. Swink, I heard a voice from another room keep saying “What are you do ing? What are you doing?" Mrs. Swink told me it was her par- rakeet, Bobby. Bobby talked a lot during my visit there. He has a large vocabulary for a bird. He will ask Mrs. Swink if she is alright; tell her good morning, says “Come here Swink”, when he is hungry and says “You’re so sweet" when she feeds him. Bobby is usually left uncaged but Mrs. Pearl has to put him in his cage when she starts to the kitchen to cook. He enjoys her cooking too, just give him some of her cake and coffee and he is happy. Mrs. Swink is active in the Barksdale-Narnie Extension Homemakers Club. She is the past president and is presently a pro ject leader. She holds the office of Safety Departmental Chairman in the County Extension Home makers Council. She has been active in the Extension Home makers Club since 1951. Mrs. Swink is also very active at the St James United Methodist Church. Here she is coordinator of the Childrens Division of the Sunday School, and is a MYF leader. Mrs. Swink resides at 113 Lynn Ave. Her husband was the late Jessie Swink. The Swinks moved to Laurens from Woodruff in 1935. Mr. Swink was Assistant Over seer at Watts Mills.

There are four. Why? People have different ideas of what a sports car should be. Incorporating all of those ideas into one car is equivalent to putting an elephant's trunk, a camel s hump and stripes on a giraffe. You end up with a creature that doesn t do anything well. So . . . four Firebirds. Firebird (1) An economical sports car. Firebird Esprit (2) A luxurious model Firebird Formula 400 (3) The Firebird built for drivers Firebird Trans Am (4) Our ultimate Four distinctly different Firebirds for drivers who agree on only one thing A sports car Comfortable seating for four. Period. Three have always been a crowd. Especially in the back seat of a sports car So the new Firebirds have two bucket-type seats in back. Plus two bucket seats up front. Four comfortable passengers, each m an individual seat. And a more comfortable ride. The rear seats gave us room to raise the drive tunnel between them. Which gives the suspension room to travel when you hit a bump. Which, in the Firebird and Esprit, produces a ride that many a full-size sedan would be proud of Formula 400 and Trans Am don't have it quite as soft. Enthusiasts like a stiffer ride Stiffer springs and shocks provide it A ride is nothing without quick handling. We didn't compromise handling a bit. We made the Wide-Track wider. Made fade-resistant front disc brakes standard. And for improved cornering, we installed stabilizer bars up front. And added rear stabilizer bars to Formula 400 and Trans Am. Engines to match. If you read our descriptions of the four Firebirds, the engine lineup makes supreme sense. The basic Firebird has a 250-cubic-inch six. Esprit— a 350-cubic-inch, regular-gas V-8. Formula 400 has a 400-cubic-mch V-8. And Trans Am features a 400-cubic-mch Ram Air V-8. Endura bumpers that absorb bumps. Pontiac's Endura material is probably the best thing to happen to bumpers since bumpers. It’s a resilient, rubber- hke material that looks like painted metal. It resists dings, dents and chips. And it positively won’t rust. A tough bumper. Covering the entire front end of each Fifet)ird. w . The deetaiee victory oHuaclMnftJfcm over faddism. Instrument panels, for instance. Easy to read. With easy-to-reach controls. We even designed the panels so that any light bulb can be changed m 60 seconds. By you. Without lying on the floor. But you'll undoubtedly want to find out for yourself. Please do. At a Pontiac dealer's. Then you'll know our “beginning of tomorrow'' claim is more than a boast.
