Dodge Four-Door Lancer for 1957
EXTENSIVE STYLING CHANGES from front to rear give
the 1957 Dodge the distinction of having more outstanding
improvements than any new model in the company’s his
tory. In the Custom Royal four-door Lancer hardtop shown
above, the striking rear fenders accent the styling theme
for the 1957 Swept-wing Dodge. Duo-level front bumpers
afford complete protection and also serve as a grille. Over
all height of the Dodge Lancer hardtop has been reduced as
much as five inches. Glass area of the new hardtop model
is 53 per cent greater than last year.
DETROIT. — New methods of
automotive design and construc
tion, along with the use of new
materials, have produced a sub
stantial increase in driver vision
throughout the entire Dodge line
for 1957. The result is the at
tainment of what the company
says is “an entirely new set of
safety standards for driver and
passenger visibility.”
A major improvement that per
mitted the practical use of more
glass involved a new design for
Dodge roofs. Stronger than ever,
the new roof is also thinner, con
tributing not only to the sleek
ness of the coir’s appearance, but
-extending glass areas all around.
Increases up to 53 per cent have
been made in the use of glass in
the 1957 Dodge.
Windshields are larger than
ever, wrapping around on the bot
tom as well as the top. On the
1957 Dodge convertible, the wind
shield also curves into the roof
itself.
Eye-l^Vel visibility is increased
by the use of a curved windshield
support post. Windshield wipers
bave blades that are four inches
longer, clearing 38 per cent more
area for much improved bad-
weather vision. The variable
speed wipers, incidentally, are
electrically operated to guarantee
constant action under all driving
conditions. ^
Better vision is also made
possible by a low, wide hood that
blends into the fenders and cowl.
The rear-view mirror is mounted
in the center at the base of the
windshield to afford a minimum
of interference to straight-ahead
•visibility. This mirror has a safe
ty-styled, dual ball joint mount
ing to provide extra safety for
the front seat passengers.
A full-width back window
wraps entirely around to slender,
sloping corner posts, eliminating
the old blind spots, and affording
the driver a good view of both
rear fenders.
With the roofs of 1957 Dodge
cars lowered by as much as five
inches without sacrificing head-
room, comfort, accessibility or
road clearance, the big question
is: How did they do it?
For one thing, says Dodge En
gineer Dean Engle, there is no
truth to the frequently-heard
statement that the use of smaller,
14-inch tires is responsible. Ac
tually, he explains, the decision
to use the smaller but wider tires
was based on a desire to get
“more rubber on the road” and
not to reduce car height.
The use of torsion bars in place
of the old and bulky coil front
spring^ permitted many front-
end elements to be shifted and
made more compact, he sajd. A
new and much smaller air clean
er also helped to lower the car’s
silhouette, as well as a floor that
is recessed in the car frame.
Other design changes made bet
ter use of previously wasted
“dead” space and cut inches from
the overall height.
Result, Engle said, is a car with
a much lower center of gravity,
better driver control, less sway in
cornering — and much greater
safety.

Brother Of Local
Woman Succumbs
(From the Memphis Commercial
Appeal)
Columbus, Miss., Oct. 5.—Wal
ter Russell Conn of Steens,
brother of Mrs. F. Scott Elliott,
died early Friday morning of in
juries received in a tractor ac
cident last Saturday night. He
had been at Doster Hospital
since that time for internal in
juries and a broken pelvis.
Mr. Conn had been called out
about midnight to pull a motor
ist out of a ditch at a nearby
crossroad. After getting the car
out of the ditch, he was on his
way home when his lights sud
denly went out. The tractor went
off the road and turned over on
him.
Born in Kosciusko, Miss., he
had made his home at Steens,
Miss., for the past 25 years.
He leaves his wife, five sons,
and three daughters, one step
daughter, three sisters, Mrs. F.
Scott Elliott, Newberry, S. C.,
Mrs. Alan Jenkins and Miss Ma
bel Conn, Detroit, Mich., and one
brother, Earl J. Conn, of Benoit,
Miss.
STATION PERMIT . . .
(Continued from page 1)
it could be considered and determ
ined when it was presented to
that body on November 13.
Although there are no zoning
laws in the city, a 1938 city or
dinance requires that no service
station shall be erected in the
city limits without a permit from
city council.
The announcement given to the
newspapers concerning the re
quest is as follows:
“The city council will consider
a request for the erection and op
eration of a gasoline filling sta
tion on the northeast corner of
Main and Walnut streets in the
city of Newberry at the regular
meeting of City Council Novem
ber 13, 1956.”
MANAGING COASTAL
BERMUDA GRASS
“There is a management prob
lem in using Coastl Bermuda grass
effectively for Tnilk production,”
County Agent Hubbard of Bam
berg told me recently.
“We have to keep it young and
tender,” he said. Then he went
on to tell of how they were doing
it. First, they fertilize ^t well,
using a lot of nitrogen to promote
the neened growth. Then they try
to keep enough cows on it to hold
it down to where it will not have
a chance to get tough, but stay
succulent and tender.
After doing that, if it does get
ahead of the cows and threaten
to toughen up, they either mow
it off for hay or cut it for silage.
And, I understand, it makes good
hay and silage.
Hubbard says a lot of this grass
is being planted over his county.
During recent droughts othe^ pas
tures dried up and it was about
all they had.
REPORTING WOODS FIRES
The prevention and control of
woods fires is sure on the mend
over South Carolina. I see pla
cards posted in a good many
counties marking points from
which folks can report a woods
fire to the county or ‘local ranger.
Most of these are county stores
and filling stations that have
phones. County Agent Hubbard
told me this was working well in
Bamberg.
Watch is also kept over much
of the thickest forest area in all
parts of the state from fire tow
ers operated by the State Fores
try department. They quickly lo
cate fires and are abje to com
municate the information direct
to the county ranger.
All of this helps and is a neces
sary part in protecting our grow
ing woodlands from their main
enemy, fire. But the biggest fac
tor in the improved fire control
we are getting, according to Ex
tension Forester Bill Barker, is
the cooperation of more and more
people in preventing them. For
when folks don’t want woods fires
they don’t have many.
The experts say our soils are
tree soils. Nature showed that,
for trees were on ’em when we
came. We had to cut ’em off to
raise needed food and raiment.
But that was carried too far, we
now realize. So noy we have a
strong forestry department head
ing us back to trees through fire
control, planting, selective cut
ting, better management, etc.
Clemson is developing a major
forestry course, 4-H and FFA
members are taught the rudi
ments of tree farming, forest
values are increasing, and folks
are appreciating trees more.
Through it all though, fire con
trol remains our main ' forestry
problem. Our state forester, Mr.
Flory, says a large percentage of
our cut-over land will come back
to trees if we let it. And that
principally means keeping fires
out so the little trees can survive.
We have a great future here with
trees. But we must all help build
it. -
4-H GROWS
4-H not only grows in num
bers (There are now 55,000 mem
bers in South Carolina), but the
quality of the work being done
improves by the year.
It’s not just the information
the boy or girl gets from his
farm project or her home project.
But it is the all-around training
in group activities, leadership,
judging, recreation, talent devel
opment, and the like that they get
that counts so much. By the way,
did you see the 4-H talent show
at Clemson during Farm and
Home Week in August? It was a
varied and finished show, one for
which rural South Carolina could
be proud.
The children learn such things
in their local club activities and
they give them at their summer
camps. There the best is picked
for the grand show they put on
at Clemson one night during the
big week there.
Local leaders in the various
communities are essential parts of
this great youth movement among
rural children.
For excellence in their county
4-H projects and activities, seven
counties in th6 state recently re
ceived the Purple Award rating.
They were Anderson, Dillon,
Greenwood, Kershaw, Marion,
Orangeburg, and Sumter. And in
addition, 19 county 4-H councils
received the Blue Group awards
for excellence of their year’s ac
tivities. These were Abbeville,
Chester, Chesterfield, . Colleton,
Darlington, Edgefield, Greenville,
Horry, Lancaster, Laurens, Marl
boro, Oconee, Pickens, Richland,
Spartanburg, Williamsburg, and
York.

things to say about the Chevrolet. She drives a 1956 model, and says “I just think it is one of the
nicest cars going—and it is kind to the pocketbook.” Mrs. Mayfield has tested the Chevrolet down
through the years, and no one can convince her that any car is better. “I won’t be getting a 1957
model,” she said, “but you may be sure that when I do get a new one, it will be a Chevrolet.” (Sim-
