contests.
Sure, its sleek lines, full-width grille
and panoramic windshield are
handsomely un-trucklike.
There's the same dashing air about
the inside, too. Two-tone color
scheme. Harmonizing, supple-as
leather upholstery. Smart instru

for instant reading.

ithink of a Miss America who also

That's more power than some makers
pack into their two-ton models. That's
more usable Power than in any other
6-cylinder engine in its classI
And its wide, deep box holds at least
8 cubic feet more than the roomy

If we'd know'd you
was a-comin'....
Yes! We'd have baked a cake
for 4-H Club Week March 6-14. . . .an occasion for congratulations to 4-H members and
their leaders. Many a 4-H Club girl can turn out pastry rivaling that, of the most
? \
mature homemaker. . . .and 4-H boys are equally able in their chosen projects. These
competent young folk have many achievements to their credit. Yet, along with the'hard
work they learn to have fun and be a part of group activity, too. During this special
week in the 4-H Club year, we salute them for their contributions to the betterment of
their community and their country.
