THURSDAY .OCTOBER 8, 1959 THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA PAGE FIVE Rambler Adds Three-Seat Wagon . new three-seat station wagon has been added to the Rambler line for 1960. The third seat, which faces the rear, can be lowered in seconds to convert the area for cargo. A unique feature of this model is the side-hinged door which allows easier entrance since there is no tailgate to climb over. Captive-air tires, which elimi nate the need for a spare, are standard equipment. The new Rambler models feature fresh sculptured styling and economy of operation. The complete line of wagons, sedans and hardtops go on sale October 14. Rambler Shows New Models Featuring fresh sculptured Btyling, economy of operation and a new three-seat station wagon, the 1960 line of Rambler Six and Rebel V-8 models will go on sale October 14, it was announced to day by Roy Abernethy, vice-presi dent of automotive distribution and marketing of American Mot ors Corporation. The new models will be slightly ahorter than comparable 1959 mod els but will have the same roomy interior dimensions, including five-foot-wide seats for six pas- aengers. The more compact exter iors will permit even greater park ing ease and maneuverability, Ab ernethy said. “While maintaining full seat, leg or luggage room, overall length has been reduced up to four inches,” Abernethy said. This was made possible by the design of the new bumpers and bumper guards. Wheelbase; length remains at 108 inches. “The 1960 Ramblers, with dis tinctive styling, retain the basic characteristics which helped push Rambler sales to an all-time high level in 1959 and to bring about the new revolution in the automo bile industry,” Abernethy said. ^‘American Motors follows a con tinuous program of basic car im provement, avoiding change for the mere sake of change. Adher ence to this policy is one of the reasons why Rambler resale value tops the other low-price makes, thereby protecting the investment of the owners. The new three-seat station wa gon added to the Rambler line for 1960 has a rear-facing third seat * which can be lowered in seconds to turn the space into cargo area. A unique feature of this model is the absence of a tailgate. Instead, it has a door hinged at the left side which swings completely open, allowing easier entrance for third-seat passengers since there is no gate to climb over. The door can be locked either from the in side or outside, but for safety it can be unlocked only by using a key in the outside lock. Nine four-door models are in cluded in the Rambler Six line and seven in the Rambler Rebel V-8 line. They include sedans, station wagons, hard-tops and the new three-seat station wagons. American Motors has expanded its Rambler American line for 1960 with the addition of a new four-door sedan model. “This new model was added to the popular 100-inch-wheelbase American series because of public demand for a four-door model,” according to Mr. Abernethy. The American line also includes two-door sedans and station wag ons. American models accounted for almost 25 percent of total Rambler production in the 1959 model year, Abernethy said. In line with American Motors’ policy of retaining styling stabil ity, the American for 1960 features clean, functional styling and changes which provide for increas ed convenience and comfort. For example, the door opening angle has been changed from last year’s 55 degrees to 75 degrees to allow easier entry. The rear doors on the four-door sedan also open to 75 degrees. Top consumer benefits of the Rambler American include low cost, economy of operation, high resale value, interior roominess and comfort and handling and parking ease, Abernethy said. A further aid to operating econ omy is the unusual owner’s man ual which pictures and describes how to make minor repairs and ad justments. The cargo compartment of the station wagon has a carrying ca pacity of 52 cubic feet with the rear seat down. The Super station wagon has a i chrome roof-top Travel-Rack which provides addi tional luggage space. Twelve solid colors are available for the 1960 American line, along with 22 two-tone combinations. Colors are classic black, Chats- worth green, placid blue, Dart mouth gray, oriental red, frost white, autumn yellow, festival rose, Westchester green, sovereign blue, Harvard gray and auburn red. The latter four are metallic colors. Interiors harmonize with exter ior colors. Upholteries include miracle-blend fabrics and vinyls. To Celebrate 95th Birthdays By MRS. A. H. COUNTS Two Newberry County Citizens will celebrate 85th birthdays in October. Mrs. Ida Clamp was 95 Friday. Drayton J. Taylor, a former depu ty sheriff, celebrates his birth day Oct. 15. Mrs. Clamp, who attributes her long life to “hard work,” says, “I thank the Lord every night for the goo'd health that I enjoy.” After parking her 1935 Ford for good, Mrs. Clamp caustically ob served: “The cars on the highways are too fast for me, so I have driven it in the garage here in my yard.” Will she dispose of it? “No, in deed,” she says. Reflecting on hard work, Mrs. Clamp, who since her husband’s death 12 years ago has lived alone on a 60-acre plot, remarks: “At one time, I could pick over 200 pounds of cotton in a day.” A long-time member of Smyrna Presbyterian Church, which she joined as a youth, she is also a charter member of Smyrna Home Demonstration Club, the first or ganized in this county.” Born on a farm, Mr. Taylor who looks forward to his mile stone, served as a deputy sheriff under the late Sheriff Cannon G. Blease. He later became a sales representative in Laurens Coun* ty, and commuted from Newberry until he reached 89. He enjoys his friends’ calls and watching television. A keen view er of current events and com munity happenings, his advice is to accept life as it comes day by day.

With the help of faithful leaders and mem bers, they have played and are still playing an important role in the spiritual life of The congrega tion. According to some of the older members of the congregation, the Sunday School was organized at the same time the church was started. The first attendance was from 10 to 15. During the first few years Mr. Andrew Eargle, Miss Belle Miller, and Mrs. Iva Eargle, served as Superintendents. Mr. J. D. Kinard served for many years as superintendent, and was succeeded by Mr. Harold O. Cook, who now serves as the General Superintendent. The attendance has grown from the small number of 10 to 15 to a present-day en rollment of almost 300.

(Continued from page 1) project. But poultry producers at large must, by reason of their fast changing and technical busi ness, be resilent in mind in order to be able to successfully adjust in an accupation that requires fast adjustment. T. C. Stewart, extension poul- tryman, says that Newberry poul try efficiency records are among the top. Winston Hendrix, Horace Bowles, Frank Senn, John W. Ringer Jr., Harry Burgess, W. M. Minick, Herman Pitts and Allen Crosson are among them, he said. Also Mrs. Griff Dorroh, S. P. Harris, Hubert Ruff, George Sand ers, William O. Pitts, W. M. Sal ters, John W. Martin, Harry May er, John Earl Smith, Jr., Tom Workman, Robert M. Long, L. D. Leitzsey, J. F. Havird, John M. DeHart, Mrs. Maude R. Suber, J. F. Scurry and Mrs. Frank Stew art. Newberry producers have ex panded production through in creasing efficiency, providing cap ital, and by marketing through a marketing agency. The county s eggs are now going to the two large metropolitan centers of Greenville to the West and Colum bia to the East. Further expansion will seek to sell more eggs within a circle drawn through these cen ters, and to widen the circle as egg production increases, Busby says. Crisply sculptured lines which blend with each other to pro vide an overall “package” design highlight the Rambler line for 1960. An addition to the line is a new three-seat station wagon. Horsepower ratings are 127 for the Six and 200 for the Rebel V-8. Optional power Packs are available. The newly designed interiors provide five-foot-wide seats for six passen gers. The 1960 models have larger windows and increased en trance room. Shown is the Rambler Six Custom four-door se dan. The Rambler American line for 1960 has been expanded to include a four-door sedan. The American line also includes two-door sedans and two-door station wagons. The American features clean, functional styling and has changes which in crease convenience and comfort.
