Lrmnsmisslon in combination with se
lective free-wheeling, a twenty per

lodlea and a' wealth of" other new fea
tures, the new car remains In the
price range of the current series, the
lowest at which a Chevrolet has ever
sold.
Heralded as "The Great American
Value for 1932", the car boasts more
extensive changes than any annual
Chevrolet model since the change-over
to a six in 1928. Yet changes are
nostly refinements over the baalc de
s'gn of the 1921 car which, from the
standpoint of public acceptance, was
the most successful in the history of
the company, and brought Chevrolet
first place in the Industry during the
l'lghly competitive market of the past
twelve months.
Practically every proven automotive
feature of recent years is Incorporated
in the new 1932 Chevrolet, as well as
a new "stabilised" front end construc
tion embodied for the first time on
any car. Outstanding Improvements
in the '32 line over last year's models
are down-draft carburetion, counter
balanced crankshaft, smaller wheels
and larger tires, radically changed
front end appearance, "finger touch
front seat adjustment, cowl ventilator
tn all models, hood doors instead of
louvres, Improved clutch and an addi
tional cross member In the frame.

Annual Tubercu
losis Seal Sale
The annual Tuberculosis Seal Sale
vas launched Friday 27th in Louis
burg and Franklin County under the
d'rection of Mrs. R. F. Yar borough,
general chairman.
Proceeds from the sale of the little
red Christmas stickers go toward the
prevent!on and cure of tuberculosis.
Franklin County was fortunate to
tf cure through the Health Depart
ment the Tuberculosis Clinic, which.
??as held through the month ot Octo
ber, with a follow-up x-ray examina
tion of all the school children, who
showed a reaction to the tuberculin
test.
The seal sale fund will be used for
undernourished children In tubercu
losis families. Where children have
fully developed cases of tuberculosis,
and have no access to fresh air and
sun-light, the Association hopes to ar
range for them to secure the air and
light so necessary to the cure of tha
disease. Arrangements to provide
milk for these patients will be made,
if the sale of the seals is sufficient.
I i<Yesh air, sun-light, rest, and milk
will do more toward preventing the
development and spread of the disease
than any thing else in the home treat
ment and can be had at a very small
ccst , ,j. -
Parents, when warned of child's
condition should make every effort
to retard the disease, which Is highly
curable in children.
Chairmen of various groups in town
and county are making preparations
to put over the best campaign tie
County has ever conducted. The ap
ical Is strong! Every citizen, man,
woman and child, will feel- the urge
<0 buy the little seals to benefit these
little ones in the early stage of this
dread disease. Buy seals and help
them!
