League members established the Marion Davis and Main Street playgrounds and have done many things for the benefit of the youth of Newberry. Other projects, too numerous to mention, have been undertaken by the League. One in particular, which gives much pleasure not only to Newberrians but to per sons traveling through the city, was the project of planting dog wood and redbud trees in all sec tions of town. “We are sorry we won’t be able to accommodate more than 200 persons at the banquet,” stated Dr. Summer, “because we would like for everyone in Newberry to help us celebrate. However,” she add ed, “there are a few tickets left and they may be bought from either Mrs. Mary Ruff or Mrs. Howard Clark.” The front- seats of all 1956 body twin exhaust deflectors, for the styles have been Redesigned for more comfort and more leg and transmission.

In Pontiac’s middle-priced 870 series with 122-inch wheelbase are the Catalina two and four- door “hardtops”, a four-door se dan, a two-door two-seat station wagon and four-door three-seat station wagon.
