THE YANCEY RECORD PAGE 18 '-HP &888 r R.A.Lunsford, 20 Years Barnardsville By James R. Covington U.S. Forest Service TheU.S. Forest Service pays tribute to five of the most de ® in resounding reasons why you should buy a new Chevrolet instead of a new something else: 1 Higher resale value. Year after year. No other car in Chevrolet’s field gives you as much back on your initial investment. 2 Deep down value. Exclusives like flush-and-dry rocker panels and an extra set of fenders keep Chevrolet looking good longer. 3 Smooth, smooth ride. Because of Chevrolet's computer selected springs, Full Coil suspension and advanced body mounting system. 4 Impressive styling. The impression is that it’s an expensive car, if you want to make an impression. 5 Massive interiors. Result? Room to stretch out or to sit tall. Chevrolet has more front leg room than any other car in its field. 6 Side-guard beams. Chevrolet puts more between you and the outside. Steel beams built into every door. 7 V A finish that lasts. It's unfortunate other cars in Chevy's field don’t have a Magic-Mirror finish because it sure keeps its shine. 8 Exceptional engines. (Chevrolet's standard 350-cubic-inch V 8 runs on regular fuel. Plus there arc five more engines available. ~ T —| Tremendous selection. Os colors. Os accessories. Os engines. Os trans missions. Os fabrics. And of models. There are nine blj Chevrolets alone. 10 America’s favorite. Something a new “something else” can’t claim. If \ actions speak louder than words, doesn't this say something to you?

A U.S. Forest Service Fire n I Oscar Simmons, 41 Years South Toe River Warden is a man who volunta rily keeps a cache of fire fight ing tools on his premises and is ready to attack any " wild fire" that may occur on the National Forests day or night. The fire warden generally has from 6 to 12 trained fire fight ers, whom he can pick up on a moment's notice, to assist in fire control. The men are paid for their time spent in the actual suppression of the fire. Prior to the days of 2 -way radios, modem vehicles and paved roads up every hoi low, the warden played an essential role in the protection of our forests. A warden was strate - gi cally located in each area of a Ranger district. He was a man who was performing an invaluable service and was re spected by everyone in the community for his position and dedication. Julius Patton has been a fire warden on South Toe River since the U.S. Forest Service originated in 1913. Patton, Banks, and Simmons can re late details of individual fires that occurred forty or fifty years ago, just as vividly as if they were talking about yes terday's news. All of these "old-timers" cherish the fact that they were able to help in protecting the National Forest in their area.
