Plain City Man Ia
Get First New
Modern Buggy

According to a statement made
by Roman p. Schrock, of Walnut
Creek, Ohio, who owns and oper-
ates the only buggy manufacturing
plant in the state, a man residing
in the Plain City community has
purchased the first new modern
luxurious buggy which he has re-
Gently designed and is building.
According to Mr.. Schrock, the
buggy is still black and box-like,
but its new extras have put it into
the luxury class. Auto like touch
eS have been added to the custom
made job which is said to have a
woodcarved dash board with two
glove compartments and several
chrome knobs from which the
lights are operated. Other luxur-
iouS convenienceS are a celluloid
windshield which can be opened
and adjusted to suit weather con-
ditions, chrome headlights, chrome
tail lights, vertical sliding doors,
luggage compartment, hand straps,
and foam rubber seats covered
with velour.
Mr.. Schrock did not indulge the
name of the person who purchased
the new modern buggy, but it is
assumed that it will be the prop
erty of some one in the Amish set
dement here. 1t is understood that
the new luxury clipper will sell for
about S1400. A standard buggy
now days sells for about $500.
It is doubtful if the new luxury
buggy will ever be put into mass
production, for it seems that it has
been built to satisfy the young
Amish people who have a longing
in their hearts for an automobile.
The manufacturer said it was pos
sible that they would soon add
lot more class to the model by
adding an electric clock, back-up
lights, signal lights and a set of
chrome hub caps.

cry, Ala, that the nations over
all enrolment of more than 125,-
600 was down some 1900 from
last years figures.
The national decrease in total
enrolment has been attributed
generally to the Air Forces re-
quirement for the majority of

lowing graduation and commits
sioning and to cessation of hos
tilities in Korea.
Total enrolment consists of ST.
718 freshmen, some 10000 sopho-

ton. These cadets become n1i~i-
BILE for the draft after gradua-
ton. However, recent policy an
nounced by the Defense Depart
ment allows these graduates to
enlist as Airmen Third Class for
