Building & Loan Association Newberry, S, <\ The Stole Hutldlng Pinekney N. Ahrotn*. NetvTren*. Co-op Members Hear Millar Dave B. Millar of Cayce, Opera tions Field Representative of REA was guest speaker at the 17th an nual meeting of the Newberry Electric Co-op here Saturday af ternoon in the Newberry High School auditorium. Mr. Millar re viewed the background of the Ru ral Electric Program which camel into being in 1935. Through ef forts of Franklin D. Roosevelt and congressmen from both sides. One million dollars was appro priated to begin this great project and was to be used as a loan fund to electrify rural areas. During the first year of the loan, 1935-1936, only $8,000 was borrowed. However, after the first co-op in Kentucky the idea snow balled. There are now 987 co-op borrowers and as a result of this 95 percent of all farms today are electrified. “America is growing and that means more business. As co-ops continue to borrow in order to ex pand their facilities they can best prepare themselves for these great industries of the future,” Mr. Mil lar stated. Dave Waldrop secretary of the Board of Directors read the min- utees which stated that in spite of increased costs the average cost of kilowatt electricity is the low est in the Newberry Co-Ops his tory, having dropped from 6.2 when first organized to 1.97 per kilowatt hour during the first seven months of this year. He also stated that the organization has paid off this year an indebtedness of $75,000. Hugh M. Epting, manager, in his report pointed out that kilowatt hours sold the past year was 17% greater than that of the pre vious years sales. Mr. Epting in dicated that this was due to more eledtrical items bemg used in rural homes. Members were given a booklet written by T. William Hunter, attorney for the Co-Ops on the 17 year history of the organizat ion. The three new directors elected were, George E. Stone, Harold Bowers and L.

Tops in Luxury CHEVROLET INTRODUCES IMPALA Dramatic new styling and out standing engineering advances mark the 1958 Chevrolet which make its bow this week. The new models will be un veiled Thursday (today) at Kem per Chevrolet Co. Also on public display for the first time will be the rakisn Corvette and the latest in the Chevrolet truck line. The 1958 Chevrolet is new from bumper-to-bumper and from frame to roof line. The all-new features include: A completely re-styled car which is longer, lower and wider and emphasizes flowing sculptured Jnes from the dual headlamp' t softly flared rear fenders. An x-shaped frame which al lows a lower silhouette but tains ample head room and in creases leg room and luggage space. Two suspension systems for a more luxurious ride along with remarkable handling, stability and durability. Sturdy coil springs, front and rear, are standard. A .lew **Lv\ei A.i ’ sy. tvin *c. i tom tically adjusts to all load weights is optional. In recognition of the growin* popularity of station wagons, an exclusive five-unit series of this body type has been established. The Bel Air series is continued, but adds among its six models a sumptuous sport coupe and con vertible under the Impala name plate, introduced on a “dream car” at the General Motors Mo- torama in 1956. In the middle range of the low- priced car bracket is a Biscayne series, with two sedans. The bot tom end of the price spread will be occupied by three models mak ing up the Delray series. Dual headlamps, a grille with fine grid concave ribs and a low, flat hood unbroken by ornamenta tion, distinguish the frontal view. Varied two-tone color patterns, a judicious use of chrome moldings and decorative panels give each series an individuality and supply the latest examples of the indus try’s new art of “sculpturamic” styling. The r^arw&cd' treatment also is unique. Avoiding sharp fin profusion, rear fender lines sweep outward from the body, then curl around the tail light ensemble to form a shape which stylists liken ed to a graceful gull-wing in flight. The basic instruments panel is ne^lv, extending rearward into the sides of the body. Major instru ments are grouped 1 in separate housings. The speedometer is oblong and spans the entire clus ter. Here is the body lineup of 1958 Chevrolet passenger Station Wagons—Nomad (4- door, six passenger), Brockwood (4-door six and nine-passengers), Yeoman (2 and 4-door six pas sengers). Bel Air—Impala (convertible and sport coupe), 2-door sport coupe, 4-door sport sedan, 2-door sedan, 4-door sedam Biscayne—2-door sedan, 4-door sedan.
