C. S. Myers Shows New Ford Feb. Ist Ford Division of Ford Motor Company announced three completely new lines of Ford passenger cars, for 1952. Featuring Coachcraft bodies and more powerful engines. the new models are scheduled to go on display in Ford dealerships throughout the nation Friday, February 1. C. S. Myers (Milford), is the local Ford dealer. There are a total of 18 models In the three new lines — eight in the Mainline series, seven in the Customline series, and three in the Crestline series. “Ford Mainline cars are for buyers chiefly interested in low-est-cost, dependable transportation,” explained L. D. Crusoe, vice-president of Ford Motor Co. and general manager of the Ford Division. “The Custdtaline "models incorporate many special refinements and conveniences, and the Crestline series features three luxurious body styles. “These Fords for 1952 — in every respect — are the finest cars we ever have built, and their styling, engineering and quality features establish them as the leaders in the highvolume field,” Mr. Crusoe said. ' Ford styling identity is preserved in the low-wide lines of the hood and front-end of the new cars, centering around a triple-spinner, air-coop grille arrangement. The new cars have curved one-piece windshields and rear windows, and their body lines sweep backward from extended headlights along the hood and higher fender line to the jettube taillight sections. Among the 1952 models are three completely new utility passenger vehicles, one for each of the three lines of cars. The Ranch Wagon in the Mainline Series is a two-door, six passenger unit, with all-steel body. In the Customline, there is the Country Sedan, a, four-door, eight passenger vehicle with all-steel body. In the Crestline is the Country Squire, another four-door, eightpassenger model, with wood trim ■over the steel side panels. All three of the utility units are quickly convertible for light hauling tasks. The rear seat of the Ranch Wagon folds into the floor, and in the two four-door models, the center seat folds into the floor and the rearmost seat is •removable. L. W. Smead, general sales manager, said that “Ford again leads its field in offering the widest variety and choice of power combinations, safety features and fashion color selections. “Only Ford in the , high-vol-ume class offers both six-cylinder and V-8 engines, three transmissions, foam rubber padding on all passenger car seats, center fill gasoline fueling, suspended-type power pivot clutch and brake pedals and a dash-mounted master brake cylinder,” Mr. Smead said. “A greatly increased use of sateiy glass makes our cars much safer to drive, and all four-door models have rear-door safety locks as standard equipment.” Mr. Smead said the 1952 Fords , are more maneuverable and have I a more comfortable ride because ; of new “tailored-to-model” i springs, a longer wheelbase, wider front tread, a more rigid frame and a new steering linkage with a higher turning ratio. “Ford is the world’s largest builder of V-8 engines and has built more than 12,00 , 0, 1 0 , 00 — more than four times as many as all other manufacturers combined. The Ford Strato-Star V-8 engine — proved over billions of miles of rugged service—is more powerful than ever, with an increase from 100 to 110 horsepower this year,” Mr. Smead said. “In addition, we are introducing the new 101-horsepower Ford Mileage Maker Six, a high-com-pression low-friction engine produced after four years of intensive research and testing.” “ Both Ford engines are designed to operate on regular gasolines and embody many features found only in more cositly cars, such as aluminum autothermlc pistons, full-pressure lubrication, freeturning valves and weather-tight ignition. Fordcraft bodies feature wea-ther-and-dust-tight all-steel construction, automatic posture control seats, curved front and rear glass, new insulation and sealing, curved flight-style instrument panels. and insulated body bolts which dampen noise and vibrations between chassis and the passenger area. The luggage compartment contains more than 25 cubic feet of loading space. Counter-balancing springs help to raise the luggage compartment deck lid and tne hood and to hold them open for servicing or loading. The curved instrument panel blends Into the doors in the cockpit styling of the driver’s compartment. Operating controls, such as the key-turn starter-ignition switch,

windshield wiper, light and ventilation controls, are grouped in a safety position to the left of the steering column out of the reach of children. Controls for Interior lights, choke, lighter, heater-defroster-ventilator and radio are grouped to the right of the steering column, with the clock and ash tray near the center of the panel. The heater unit itself has been moved to clear the passenger compartment and is located under the hood. An adjustable door has been added to provide warm air directly to the right front seat. Ford Mainline body styles for .1952 are the business coupe, Tudor, Fordor, and the new Ranch Wagon. Customline units are the Tudor, Fordor, club coupe and the all-metal Country Sedan station wagon. The Crestline cars are .the Sunliner. Victoria and Country Squire.

When John Vawter recently visited the Roy Brown’s, the group (old schoolmates) reminiscenced of a certain time at the Gants schoolhouse, iater named Vawter School, when pupils had been warned not to ice-skate on a pond across the road in Lee Henwood’s field. “They” included Mrs. Roy Brown, then a little girl, Ed Ruple, Joe Good, Elmer Koher and Mart McClintic did skate, and were ordered to “stay in” after school. While the teacher actually held the door shut to keep them in, tTie bigger boys helped the younger pupils out a window, and eventually when teacher took a look outside, there stood the whole school, “free.” They wer’ th’ good ole days, eh? If such an event were to take place today we’d probably see the truant officer, juvenile delinquent authorities, state police, and other law enforcement agencies on the scene. Weather Still Major Factor In Corn Borer Outlook Lafayette, Ind., Jan. 28— Cold February winds may not be ill winds. Cold weather and heavy rains could destroy a large percentage of the corn borer larvae that might overwinter. Old Man Weather is still the most important factor in corn borer control, says M. Curtis Wilson of the Purdue entomology department. Although one of the smallest borer populations was reported last fall, an early warm spring could be favorable to development of the surviving borers. Wilson says that attention focussed recently on the parasite known as the Lydella fly for control of the borer has given too much credit to the fly. Purdue entomologists who have made extensive releases of the corn borer parasites throughout Indiana have concluded that parasites by themselves will not control the corn borer. He says that like the natural enemies of any pest, Lydella exerts an .influence on keeping the corn borer within bounds. These parasites alone cannot completely eliminate- the corn borer menace. In certain areas in Indiana as high as 35 percent of the borers in the fall have been found to be parasitized, but usually the percentage is not that large. Naturally all the overwintering borers that are killed by parasite will not lay eggs the next year. . The effect of these beneficial insects is not demonstrated until the following year when moths emerge to lay eggs; thus there is no direct method of* calculating the amount of good performed by parasites. Mrs. Pearl Koher is visiting in the home of Mrs. Sadie Hire and Mrs. Ella Unrue.

WAWASEE LAKE ■ Mrs. Edna Norris is here from Canada, visiting her sister, Mrs. Thomas Schlecht, for several weeks. Cedar Point. — The Rev. and Mrs. David Culley have a house guest, Mrs. Robert Tennant, formerly of Rockford, 111. Mrs. Tennant will be going on to New York City, her future home, after this visit with her niece, Mrs. Culley, and her sister, Mrs. Geo. B. Craig, (mother of Mrs. Cully), who is staying in the Cully home. The Culley’s and Mrs. Craig had quite a trip awhile back to visit the Culley’s daughter, Mrs. James W. Butcher and Dr. Butcher in St. Paul, Minn. It was in the “deep snow and deep freeze” weather, and their Cedar Point home is at the highest part, and fartherest, at the Point, excepting the John Abshire home, and somewhat difficult to leave in snow drift times. Their car “refused to leave home,” and Eli Fry came as taxi service, his car being a panel truck, and was equipped with chains, folding chairs in the truck part, and all set for rough weather, although it nearly got stuck with a snowdrift, up the steep drive. The Culley’s and Mrs. Craig piled into the truck with some difficulty, finally managed the folding chair hazard, and away they went
