New 1954 Chevrolet At BBH Motor Co. W. T. Harry Says More Power Among New Highlights The latest model 1954 Chevrolets are scheduled to go on display at the 8.8. H. Motor Company Friday, De cember TB, and W. T. Harry, mana ger, says more power, an extension of the automatic transmission option to all cars and design revisions to ac centuate the low, flowing beauty of the three body series highspot the new models. Given special prominence in the presentation is the Bel Air Series, which Chevrolet pioneered so success fully as a luxury line a year ago. An eight-passenger station wagon brings to five the number of Bel Air body types. The company has also an nounced that convertibles will be here after concentrated in this series. In appearance the 1954 Chevrolets have a longer, more rugged look. De signed for a broader, lower effect, the front bumper has been curved farther around the fender. The grille, bump er guards, parking lamps and hooo ornamentation have been modified to conform with the new motif. Al though the brightwork of the indi vidual series profiles remains much the same, design touches at the rear re-emphasize the distinction of the line. Nine of the 14 solid exterior colors are new. The 13 two-tone combina tions, featuring such exotic partner ships as ivory and turquoise and beige and an unusual tan, are perhaps the most striking yet unveiled by the in dustry. Totaling the number of body types and colors, the customer has 161 selections from which to draw when Tie buys a Chevrolet.

We meet strange, new experi ences through life. Os some we are [forewarned. Other experiences take lus by surprise and often dismay us. He who has someone to turn to for understanding and help is able to pro fit by those experiences. The man or woman who stands bewildered and alone is pitiful indeed. Wise is he who early forms a friendship with a Power greater than himself to Whom he can turn for comfort and strength I when he must face a new experience alone. Typhoid In Poultry Hard To Eradicate When typhoid strikes your poultry flock there isn’t much you can do but kill the carriers and sell the remain ing birds for meat, according to R. S. Dearstyne, head of the Department of Poultry Science at N. C. State College. Dearstyne says typhoid is one of the most destructive of all poultry di seases and that mortality runs “very high” in flocks that have suffered at- 1 tacks. Many different types of medication are suggested as treatment, but Dear styne says results are not always good. Often the flock owner will think he has licked the disease, when actually he has only arrested it. “Birds making a recovery as far as external symptoms are concerned, may later become carriers of the in section. These carriers eliminate the tiny typhoid germs through the drop pings and through discharges from the mount. This tends to perpetuate the disease on the premises.” Dearstyne suggests: (1) That in fested birds be burned or buried deep ly. (2) That the remainder of the flock be sold immediately for meat. (3) Followed by a thorough cleaning and disinfecting of the poultry house and equipment. (4) Ranges on which the birds have been running should be plowed deeply. Only after several months is it safe to start another flock on the same | ground. Use Materials On Handj For Holiday Decorations Give your home a festive appear ance by using evergreens, berries, seed pods and pine cones that you have on hand, suggests Pauline Gor don, State College extension specia list in housing and house furnishings. These simple decorations which youi have in abundance and cost no money will add greatly to the charm of your home. “However,” cautions Miss Gor don, “do not injure a tree by cutting it for decoration—prune carefully small sprays of evergreens.” Miss Gordon says that the Christ mas tree—whether large or small— should be the center of the decora tions. Place your tree in front of a window, so that its bright, cheerful glow can be seen from, within and without. Decorate your tree with balls! of red, silver, blue and green, strands 1 SPEEDY - ■; y v I, frankly, speedy "" HAVE JUST so MUCH MONEY And I WANT TO GET THE * best value j cam f ALBEMARLE ALBEMARLE MOTOR CO WIST HICKS ST .Salcs^SjSg^Service PHONE 289 Enjoy A Prepaid Christmas In 1954 i * • M I • < I I I I I You’ll have extra cash at holiday time next j || || year if you join our 1954 Christmas Club now ; and put aside a stated amount in easy weekly | j j installments.

And be sure to hang a rope of ever greens, a spray or wreath on your front door—it will signify to many who pass your home that you are celebrating this joyous season. A rope of evergreens requires four or five yards of rope. The place you plan to use it will determine thei length. Other materials needed are: I Short lengths of wire (about 15 to 18 1 inches); short sprays of evergreen; balls, bows, red berries or bells. Place a bunch of evergreen against (the rope and fasten in place with wire. Repeat until the rope has been com pletely covered. Rrape the rope over lyour door frame, mantel or along the [stair rail. Locate spots where an ad ditional decoration like berries, balls or bells would be effective and then wire into the decoration. Our grand business is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand. —Thomas Carlyle. I Minutes Os Board I Os Public Works Edenton, N.
