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. Berley Bedenbaugh
Prayer was offered by C. E. Lind-
ler and music furnished by the
Newberry College sextet.

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

door, six passenger), Brockwood
(4-door six and nine-passengers),
Yeoman (2 and 4-door six pas
