The automobile indu-try in

llenton Sims, Ita trop dealer
Speaking to the nation auto
mobile writer and editor gath
ered in Detroit to preview the
l', .V.i Old mobile, Wolfran; re
vealed that Oldsmobile will in
troduce two completely new l>ody
style- in it 18fil< line Tliey are
the HoIhIiiv Sport Sedan a
s p o r t y four door family size
car and the two door Holiday
SceniCoupc which has an entire-
ly new silhouette, a snappy ap
pearnnce and exceptional visi-
bility in all dinvtions. 1 he two
new styles will be available
throughout the Old-mobile line.
' I believe that thesi two body
tvle will attract the many peo-
ple who want a totally new auto-
mobile something different
especially buyers who want a
full size family car with i sporty
flair," Wolfram said
LARRY TURNER
Coach
Alma Williams, who lives a-
Ix.ut two and a half miles out
oti Highway heard a consid-
erable commotion in her back
yard one morning last week, and
hurried out to find her little
'rat terrior, Trixie, holding a
|tattle-nake at my. The snake
u coiled an<i rattling, while
Trixie raced round and round it,
ju-' out >f r> a. Ii of the vicious
fangs.
Alma ran back for n shot gun
and killed the snake, which
measured over four feet in
length and had II rattles.
"Oldsmobile*- line," he added,
"will continue the well estab-
lished Dynamic '8s', Super '88'
and M.'H' I know our customer-
are going to like that."
"Oldsmobile's styling for 1!)-
Wolfram aid. "is entirely-
different than anything we've
done in the past, with clean
lines, yet still exciting, brilliant
and distinctively Olds."
"Our customers will also like
Old-mobile's greater trunk space
up to <14 per cent more in the
Dynamic '88's and the Super
•KK's. In fact," lie added, "more
room is a big feature of the en
tire 1 Oldsmobile line As a
re ult of requests from our cus
touters we have built more room
and more comfort into all our
models There'.- more shoulder
room, more hip room and more
leg room."
Many mechanical innovations
designed for added comfort, sa-
fety and economy of operation

Farmers Urged To
Take Advantage
Of ASC Program
September 20 is the final day
for filing requests for individual
maximum farm payment rates,
according to Kleber Trigg Jr.,
manager of the Bastrop County
ASC office, and the county com-
mittee urges every farmer to
survey his situation regarding
the new program.
Mr. Trigg pointed out that,
since filing places you under
no obligation, every one having
eligible land and even remotely
considering entering the pro-
gram, should file. County rates
will range frem a low of $8.40
per acre to a high of $l(i.80
per acre. The responsibility of
setting these rates rests with the
county committee, and only
those farms having a request
on file by September 26 will
receive a rate.
Clerks in the office will take
the request- and explain the
details of the program.
Mr. Trigg also called atten-
tion 10 the fact that the fall
legume practice has been ap-
proved and applications are be-
ing accepted now. The limit of
cost share will be $200.00 per
farmer. Eligible legumes and
the rates of cost share are as
follows:
Hubam Clover, 8 cents; Meli-
lotus Indica, 5 tents; Madrid
Clover, 10 cents; Hairy Vetch,
10 cents; Common and Willamet-
te Vetch, fi cents; Austrian Win-
ter and Dixie Wonder Peas, 4
cents. First approvals will be
issued after September l,r>.
