FRIDAY, JANUARY 2, 1953 PAGE FOUR THE NEWBERRY SUN County FHA Borrowers Record Good Thirty-eight production loans were made to farmers in Newber ry County for the crop year 1951 and 99.6 percent of the maturities were repaid last fall. During the crop year 1952, 28 such loans were made, and even though Newber ry County was in the disaster area, 97 percent of the maturities that were due on October 31, 1952 have been paid. Loans are made for production purposes—to buy livestock, equip ment, fertilizer, lime, seed, insecti- cid.es or other supplies; for farm lownership — to buy family-type iarmstor to enlarge or develop Inadequate farms; for farm build ing—to construct, remodel, or re pair houses or other farm build ings.

A total of 40 Farm Ownership loans have been made in Newber ry County. Of this number 27 have repaid all of their indebted ness even though they had 40 years in which to pay. The remain ing 13 landowners are either on or ahead of schedule with their land payments. During 1952, two Farm Housing loans were made in Newberry County. This is a relatively new section of the Farm Ownership Program. These loans were made to men who already owned their land but needed to construct a dwelling on the farms. Both are on schedule with their 1952 pay ments. , The local Farmers Home Ad ministration Office is located in the Agricultural Building, Rooms 112 and 113. The county office is open Monday through Friday. Business hours are from 8 to 5 o’clock. The county committee is com posed of three farmers from New berry County: Harold F. Long, Claude M.

Pictured above is the two-door, six-passenger Riviera in the Super Series, most popular hard-top in the Buick line. Its new engine, leader x>f all V-8s, turns up 170 horsepower with a compression ratio of 8.5 to 1. The new Twin Turbine Dynaflow gives it vastly improved performance and greater economy with no sacrifice of Buick’s completely smooth acceleration. It has a re-styled front end incorporating a sturdier grille, two-piece bumper, and a futuristic headlight arrangement. A new alligator-type hood, long-flowing body lines, new moldings and ventiports, and horizontal rear fenders with bullet-shaped tail lights, give the car an ultra-modern, sleek appearance. The interior features fresh new colors and tasteful trim. Its wheel base is 121 Vi inches and offered as optional equipment are wire wheel covers and power steering. FLINT, MICH. —Buick today presented its 1953 Goldeh Anni versary line of cars, featuring a high compression, valve-in-head V-8 engine of new design in both the Road master and Super Series, a new Twin Turbine Dynaflow that greatly improves performance and economy, and fresh new styling inside and out. The new engine, which develops 188 horsepower in the Roadmaster and 170 in the Super, is of the 90-degree “V” type with a com- ression ratio of 8.5-to-l, the ighest in the industry. Buick’s power steering, which proved so popular last year, has been made standard equipment on the 1953 Roadmaster and is of fered as an option on the Super and Special. Power brakes, which take 75 per cent of the effort out of braking, are offered as optional equipment on the Roadmaster. New styling features include a new front end, new headlights modelled after those on the Buick’s famed XP-300, new rear fenders and interior trim combinations un equalled for beauty and luxury. Buick’s generous-sized bodies continue to be featured in 1953. They offer the maximum roomi ness and comfort available in the industry. “We have made more important styling and engineering changes in the 1953 Buick than in any model we have produced in the last 25 years,” said Ivan L. Wiles, general manager of Buick and vice president of General Motors. “Our new engine and new Twin Turbine Dynaflow, coupled with our many styling improvements, make the 1953 Buick the newest car on the market today, and the most out standing value we have ever of fered the public.” Buick’s 1953 Special Series is powered by the time-proven F-263 Fireball straight eight engine with stepped up horsepower and com pression ratio. The improvements in the straight eight engine, plus the new Twm Turbine Dynaflow, make the Spicial the outstanding performer in its class. The 1953 Buick line comes in 12 different body styles, including the Skylark sports car which will be produced in limited quantities. The wheelbase of all Roadmaster models has been reduced 4% inches for easier handling and parking. The wheelbase on the four-door Roadmaster sedan has been reduced from 130.2 inches to 125.5 inches, and on the two-door Roadmaster it has been reduced from 126.2 inches to 121.5 inches. From a styling standpoint the new 1953 Buicks are new inside and out. A new and wider grille provides better cooling for the engine and gives th*e car a lower look. The top line of the hood has been extended forward to give a bolder appearance to the front profile. The headlights are housed in a new bezel patterned after the XP-300, and parking and direc tional signal lights have been in corporated into thp headlight bezel. The hub of the newly-designed steering wheel is decorated with a red, white and blue Golden An niversary medallion with a gold replica of a 1903 Buick embossed upon it. Sweepspear and rocker panel moldings are continued on all models. The rear windows are of the one-piece wrap-around type with no posts to obstruct the driver’s vision. Buick’s V-8 engine has a piston displacement of 332 cubic inches in both the Roadmaster and Super Series. The new Twin Turbine Dynaflow takes hold with a more solid feel than its predecessor be cause torque multiplication has been increased, yet it retains the same smoothness of operation that has distinguished Dynaflow from other automatic transmissions. Acceleration is faster and quieter. Power brakes, which are op tional on the Roadmaster, give the driver toe-tip braking for any stop. A special safety feature per mits direct braking action in case the vacuum which provides the power is lost. — Statement of Condition Newberry Federal Savings 6k Loan Association Newberry, South Carolina » .
