One Of A Donen V-8 Improvements "The handle they love to touch," Is the way Mr. J. H. Wood, Jr., manager of the Norfolk branch of the Ford Motor Company, describes the handle which controls the clear vision ventilation system of the Ford V-8 for 1934. "Dealers everywhere," he said, "are reporting that the simple operation of this ventilation system is so in triguing to persons viewing the new cars that they almost invariably raise the window glass In order to give the handle the extra half-turn that slides' the glass away from the frame, forming a narrow open ing the' provides draftless venti lation. "Each window has a single piece, of glass?not two sections. That's why the ventilation system is call ed 'clear vision." Independent Action on -4 Wheels "Another feature of the cars' that is attracting wide attention." Mr. Wood continued, "is something which on the Ford is not really" new. That ts, the independent ac tion of all four wheels made pos sible by the transverse springs. The free action of the wheels of the Ford V-8 for 1934 has been increas ed by newly designed spring leaves, providing flexibility and quieter action." More than two million visitors at the recent Ford Exposition of Pro gress in New York' City saw this feature dramatically demonstrated as diagonal wheels were alternately pushed upward yet the Ford body kept steady and level. Interest in Ford V-8 power and economy is keener than ever, ac cording to Mr. Wood. "This is prob ably due to announcement that the pwoer has been stepped up by 12% at the same time that more miles per gallon are attainable." Ford Roominess Makes Sales "Only by driving the Ford V-8 for 1934 can onC really appreciate the improvements that have been made in it," said Mr. Wood. "For in tance. take the matter of room iness?many a Ford sale was made last year the minute the prospec tive buyer sat at the wheel, all be cause the Ford V-8 did its own de monstrating. A car of its low price range offering more head room and more leg room than in seventeen other American built cars, couldn't help but stand out. "And that's the new Ford V-8 for 1934! Plus easier steering due to a 15 to 1 steering ratio. Plus new beautiful interiors with coved oeil ings. Individual arm rests for all passengers, deeper and more com fortable seats of tufted upholstery. Plus body designs of stylish line and rare grace."

No Decrease Seen In Poultry Growing Because poultry growing' seems to provide a fairly dependable source of income and prices for broilers have been better than was antici pated, indications are that the de mand for baby chicks in North Carolina this season will continue as good as in 1933. "However, poultrymen should carefully select their sources of baby chicks and if possible get those which have been produced from eggs laid by blood-tested hens," cau tions Roy 8. Dearstyne. head of the State College poultry depart ment. "Another Important point Is to be prepared for the chicks be fore they are received at the farm. Chicks are highly' perishable and the brooder houses need to be ready in ample time. We have found that the starting of baby chicks for early pullets or for early broilers is more complicated than raislng.them range and green feed Is available." | Dearstyne says baby chicks start ed very early have a tendency to wards leg weakness that later chicks do not have. This means that the, early chicks should get all. the sun-1 shine possible. Where they do notl have green feed, an extra amountj of cod liver oil needs to be added j to the mash. If the chicks are badly crowded and the drinking and' eating places are Inadequate, can- : nibahsm will likely develop. Baby chicks started early need the best of care and rigid sanita tion. Carelessness and indifference in handling them will prove costly, says the poultryman.
