The following states each had one
county that exceed Jour output, Ari-
zona, Arkansas and Louisiana. Our
crop was exceeded by five counties

new CHEVROLET
MODEL ON FLOOR,
MUCH IMPROVED

One of the greatest free advcr.
tismg campaigns III the history of
motordom in California reached it's
climax last week in the, annuonce
ment by the Chevrolet dealers
throughout the state that the new
Chevrolet model was on display.
This mouth to mouth advertising
campaign, while not a part Of the
Chevrolet dealers advertising pro
gram, added great deal Of mo-
mentum to their own advertising
when it was finally published.
For weeks back the air has been
full of rumors to the effect that
Chevrolet was going to do every
thing from starting production on
SIX cylinder car to going out of
business entirely. One faction had
it that the standard superior Chev-
rolet with its four cylinder overhead
valve motor was to be thrown over
board and production centered on
a light SIX.
The car is a new "de luxe touring
modelp built on the standard SUI
perior Chevrolet chassis but with all
the Improvements known to access
sorv manufacturers as standard
equipment. The first refinement
noted is hand finished body by
Fisher, the noted body manufactur
er. in a gray blue color scheme with
cardinal stripping. The disc steel
wheels provided with the new model
are enameled in harmony with the
body.
The upholstery of the de luxe
touring is in gray blue whale grain
fabrikoid and the top lining is gray
to match. The special equipment
ON this model includes nickeled
double bar bumpers front and rear,
nickeled radiator shell, motometer
with bar lock cap, plate glas wind
wings, cord tires, erowl lamps, rub
Der covered running boards with
aluminium kick plates and an over
size steering wheel with lock.
The retail value of the special
finish and the accessories is esti-
mated by Chevrolet dealers to be in
excess of $500, yet through quantity
production and Standardization Of
equipment the dealers estimate that
by buying the de luxe already
equipped the motorist would save
at least 800 over the amount he
would have to pay if he bought the
! bare car and equipped it himself
with accessories of like quality at
prevailing retail prices.

''The day we visited the camp
was World Fellowship Day., and
that evening around blazing camp
fire, various groups in costume de-
picted bits from the life of other
nations, which ranged from Irish
folk dancing to the phiiosopry of
Arabia and the mysticism of india.
"World Fellowship day closed
with the costumed representative OF
each country lighting her candle at
the fire of world fellowship, after
which japanese lantern Parade III
which every girl carried CAV bit
of colored light took place. While
the girls in t/ir picturesque cos
tunes marched two by two from the
campfire near the sea through the
ground to their tents they sang the
wonderful Girl Reserve song "Fo4-
low the Gleam,'' their voices ring
ing out clearly against the softoned
roar of the sea. With thousands OF
girls growing up with such Ideals OF
world fellowship, they, as mothers
of the next generation, will go far
toward bringing about The realiza-
ton of world peace.
