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.
Mrs. Swink gave me two nfher

announces
the beginning of
tomorrow.
The all-new Firebirds are here.
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.
