To Study Better Posture Habits. Realizing that good posture is the foundation for every well dlressed club girl, clothing leaders in Barnwell County will devote the month of Feb ruary to the study of better posture babbits. In a training meeting held in the Barnwell Methodist Church Sunda^ School parlor Friday, Feb. 1, Miss Mary Shaw Gilliam, Extension Cloth ing Specialist of Winthrop College, discussed the importance of correct posture. Miss .Gilliam stressed the fact that good! posture inspires confi dence and success, gives poise, and helps to build goed health, all of which result ip good looks. Leaders pledged themselves to re tain or acquire\ correct posture by establishing good food habits, sleeping with windows open, wearing correct shoes, exercising imt of doors and wearing healthy clothing. Posture exercises were practiced) to cdrrect defects. During the coming month posture work will be carried into all 4-H clubs by Miss Elizebeth JdcNab, and the following local leaders who attended the training meeting: Mrs. Robert Fickling, of Blackville; Mur- riel Norris, cf Kline; Laura Ella Gantt, of Lyndhurst; Mary Brown, Sarah Hogg, Margaret Black and Marjorie Goodson, of Barnwell; Mar garet Kneece and Louise Bates, of Joyce Branth; Carrie Grace Grubbs and Mrs. Ollie Grubbs, cf*BlackviHe. Improved commercial car models having more power, higher torque or pulling ability, greatly inci-eased braking efficiency, and numerous im provements in engine and chassis, have been announced by the Chevro let Motor Company. In addition to the %-ton truck of either 131-inch or 157-inch wheelbase,- Chevrolet this year features a new unit, the Standard sedan delivery, intended for the fast dispatch of light merchandise.

The chassis prices, according to the Cehverolet announcement, are the lowest in the l world. The Chevrolet models for 1935 re tain the general characteristics of the previous line in layout and design: mechanically, however,' they incorpor ate many refinements and: added fea tures. • Changes in .the engipe include im- * a proved spark advance control, heavier, crankshaft with improved counter weighting and harmonic balancer f se lective balancing of rotating parts, high pressure oil stream lubrication to connecting rod bearings, increased oil pump capacity, electro-plated pis tons, greater water pump capacityr and improved cylinder-head tempera ture distribution. Brakes and braking have been greatly increased* in efficiency and ease of operation, now possessing such features as Tighter pedal pressure higher coefficioncy'Df^friction in the lining, limited articulation of brake shoes, and increased life of linings. As a result, the new trucks can be stopped in half the distance formerly required. Improvements in manifolding, car buretion, timing and valves, through the adoption of the Chevrolet Blue Flame design of the Master engine for this year’s truck engine has re sulted in a horsepower capacity of JO in the 1935 trucks, a gain of TO horse power over last year: Maximum pull ing power is developed, with 150 foot poundfe torque, at low engine speeds, corresponding to 17 to 24 m. p. h. speed range. A new system pf lubrication serves V j* . the crank-pin bearings of the connect ing rods. The oil pump forces high- pressure jets of oil to flow constantly rom sw nozzles, one in each oil trough, irectly upward so that the streams are in the paths of the connecting rod dippers as they approach and pas3 botton dead center. These dippem thus receive oil during a prolonged period of each revolution. The high velocity of the dipper against the stream of oil, added* to tbe„velocty of the ol jets builds up a tremendoas pressure that insures a copious supply of oil to the bearing. Oil dilution is prevented by a pat ented crankcase ventilator which dis charges gasoline futhes and vapors in to the air stream underneath tha oil pan. The feature of the yentilator is that heavy oil vapors are trapped and C. O. Jones, assistant in cotton ad justment for Barnwell County, has re ceived' notice that on February 9th the surplus certificate pool will be closed and that no further certificates at 4c per pound may be sold to farmers who may need them. Any farmers who still need certificates ifi order that they may have their cotton tagged should, during this week,, buy the necessary certificates they need. This is very important as without the certificates the tax per hundred pounds of lint cotton will have to be paid 1 , which is $5.67. '' SATURDAY of THIS WEEK is the closing date.—Prepared by H. G.
