THE DUBLIN TIMES riauAY, jawuak tun., a .:i.c Drive Is O.Jiile'es l!ev 1950 Feature ,i' -' . , - - ' A new and exclusive Whlrlaway Hydra-Matlc Drive la being intro duced to the public on 1950 models by Oldsmoblles, "which" pioneered the popular automatic transmission more than ten years ago. The ad vanced design will be offered as optional equipment at extra cost on all 19 models in the three new Series of the 1950 "Futuramlc Fleet". For purchasers who do. not order the new Drive, Oldsmoblle Is making available - two syncro mesh transmissions as standard equipment -- one. for "Rocket" Eight cars and one for Series "78" cars powered by Oldsmoblle's "Big Six" Engine. The new Whlrlaway Hydra-Matlc Drive is designed to team up with the new high-compression "Rock et" Engine. The result is an exclu sive "Power-Package" that estab lishes brand new standards of per formance. New smoothness In for ward speeds and faster shifting into reverse are chief advantages of the new Drive. There is a surging re sponse from the 135 horsepower "Rocket" Engine at the traffic sig nal. On hills the new Whlrlaway feature instantly provides vast sur plus power for acceleration and for parsing slower vehicles. Longer tire life is also one of the advan tages .brought about by Whlrlaway. The new design is the outgrowth of Oldsmoblle's long experience in the field of automatic transmiss ions. Hydra-Matlc Drive was first introduced as optional equipment on Oldsmoblle's 1940 models. The Drive ushered in the present era of fully automatic transmissions, and today are offered by the majority of makers. Hydra-Matic itself be came the "most wanted" of automa tic transmissions within the Indus-1 try, with four other makes of cars adopting the Drive. The number of Oldsmoblle Hydra-Matic cars built since the introduction of the device is approximately 900,000. SPORTS AFIELD By: TED RESTING The ability to recegnize and read sign of the red fox is the most ef fective method of. learning about that elusive animal, and it's excit ing sport, too. The oval shape and the unusually small toe pads are distinctive char acteristics reflected in the track. The mark of the heel pad does not project forward between the outer most toe prints as in the dog track, and the furry nature of the foot may be seen on a good tracking surface. The largest track of a fore foot that I have found measured 2.8 long and 1.8 inches wide. The track of a hind foot is always smaller, and the mark of the heel pad is about half as wide as that ot a forefoot. The track arrangements for the different gaits are similar to those of the domestic dog. except in walk ing or trotting the tracks of the fox are in an almost straight line. Sign may be seen where the fox Fcr Dancing Under The Stars YOU, FARMER. vAA2E A BUSY MAN, IAHEN BUILDING, LET US HELP YOU PLAN i . ALL. PART msm , . V'i Iff- - .'... .!

A single family may use five or more different dens during the denning period from March through June. Except during the breeding seasons, dens are only rarely used.

Six young people (3 boys and 3 girls) from thefarm sat up in front as a panel to answer any questions the assembled five hundred grown ups might throw at them. The following question was ask ed: "Do you think that big business is good for this country?" An eighteen-year old lad, Stanley Dreyer, from Brighton, Colorado, in a itnmntptplv nnrphearsed Dro- gram, grasped the microphone, and J instantly made the following reply: "Sure, Big Business is good, for the country, so long as the men who run It are Big." Nice going. Stanley! You scored a bull's eye. Frequently In this col umn I have had the temerity to criticize certain actions of business and businessmen. After all business men are simply human beings and, as in any other walk of life, some of them have not been without sin. But to condemn business (big or small) because of the sins of a few is just as illogical as it would be to condemn the Christian churches and Christianity because an occa sional minister or priest has fallen by the wayside. Yes, Stanley, you were 100 correct in your statement that "big business is good for the country, so long as the men who run it are big." And you and all Americans, young and old, can rejoice in the fact that most of the men running big business today are BIG that each passing year sees them grow ing bigger in stature, more "big" men recruited to their ranks and fewer "little" men remaining among them to prey upon bhe Am erican public.
