Complete redeeignlng of front end,

led with smooth-flowing t^y Hues,
have given the new Plymoutlu mass
iveness. length and low appearance,
say local dealers. Interior trim is 'en
tirely new. achieving a rich, restful
beauty of particular appeal to women.
It is also said for the cars that
engneering advancements have stresa-
^ both ..performance and safety.
The 1948 Chrysler Royal six-paaa-
enger. four-door sedan, one of six
UH^els embracing a total of 28 body
styles offered by Chrysler, is being
displayed in. the showrooma.
The Chrysler Royal is powered by
a six-cylinder engine of improved'de
sign. Said Chas. H. Stogner, local
agent:
-{“Improvements that contribute to
finer appearance, better performance,
increased safety, added comfort and
reduced operation and maintenance
XQ8ta->are found in the 1948 Chrysler
cars. The line comprises six models,
the Royal. Windsor, and Town and
Country powerw by six-cylinder en-
gines, ad the New Yorker, Saratoga
and Crovm Imperial, powered by
eights. There are 28 body styles and
an Cptlon of IS standard colors. I
’’So many improvements have been
made and so many features added
that the 1948 cars can properly be de
scribed as new. In fact, more changes
have been made since the 1942 Ines,
the last manufactured before the out
break of the war. than generally la
tbe case from one model year to an
other.
Anyone got a fox they don’t want?
For a fact, the Camdeii Hunt could
not stage, a ^ac event last week be
cause they huked the fev nacsesnry
to make the drag a success.
Visiting news writers who heard
the fox story ftom the loud speaker
smiled avidly and scratched tartskly

the 'chief anticipates that there will
be a healthy roundup of these fire-
wagon chaaers.
Of late there baa been an increas
ing tendency on the part of motorists
to park double on Broad street while
waiting for some member of their
party to attend to shopping duties.
This, particularly on Saturdays, has
tended to cause traffic snarls of no
mean dimension! and is to be stop
ped.
The police chief *made it plain that
the day of “wannsg notlc^* is past
and that offenders against any of
tbe traffic or parking regulations
are to be summarily dealt with.
Chief Fire Marshal Denton stated
that he has asked the police to bear
down on the motorists who drive
over hose .lines at fires.
“Hose is difficult to obtain now
and we try to conserve what we hare
on hand", he said. "3^’hen a car drives
over a hose line which is distended
with the strong pressure from the
pumper, tbe fabric is broken or weak
ened and first thing we know, we
have a break in the line and have
to substitute a new section. This all
delays*us in fighting a fire.”
At a recent fire near the Jackson
Tbe Savannah game next Sunday
should be a humdinger in point of
excitement and thrllla and probably
the blggeat crowd of the seaeon will
be on deck to watch tbe action on
the fine turf of Kirkwood field.
Fram where I sit I’m-picking the
Camden team to win by at least three
ecorea. Juat a hunch, that’s all.
Cood old rip-roaring Joe Batee the
