How Chevrolet makes gas go farther
on paved streets or country roads :.

Whether you're driving in town or country,
in heavy traffic or on the open road, you'll
benefit from the greatly increased gasoline
mileage delivered by the new Chevrolet
That's because this great car brings you
record breaking gas mileage for the driving
you do on the trips you take :. the kind of
everyday economy that adds up to a sizeable
savings in mighty short time!
What's behind this amazing economy
Advanced Chevrolet valve-in-head engine
design teamed with new higher compression.
In simple terms, both the 115-h.p. GLUE
Flame" engine in Powerglide* models and
the 1O8-hp. ''Thrift-King" engine in gear
shift models squeeze more power out of every
drop of fuel. Gas economy is greatly increased,
while acceIeration and hill-climbing ability
are greater than ever before!
The moment your toe touches the acceler-

extra strength at vital points for longer life.
And, of course, you continue to save with
such Chevrolet features as bonded brake
Innings, which give up to twice the wear of
the more commonly used riveted type
The beauty of Chevrolet's economy is this:
1t stems from the same sound engineering
that brings you such wonderful conveniences
as Powerglide and Power Steering The
same high quality materials and precision
manufacture that make Chevrolet the finest
car in its field on every count. Why not stop
in at your Chevrolet dealers and find out
about all the fne-car features you'll enjoy
while you save with Chevrolet-the Lowest
priced line IN the Ioao-price field Chevrolet

ator, you'll notice Chevrolet's great new
performance. And the more you drive, the
more apparent it will become-as you call
upon the new and safer passing ability, as
you conquer steep grade almost before you
realize it's there, as you effortlessly reel off
the miles on the open highway And as you
drive on, you begin to notice how far you've
gone on surprisingly little gas. You know,
even before you check the mileage, that this
new Chevrolet will go lot, lot farther
between gas stops!
But that's only part of the story. For the
new Chevrolet not only brings you greater
gasoline economy, but greater all-round
economy as well!
Traditionally low Chevrolet upkeep is now
even lower. Greater ruggedness and dura-
bility have been built into the beautiful,
roomy Body by Fisher. Engines, too, have

Students Will Need
Social Security Cards
Best Plan To Obtain Before Seek
ing A Position

students planning to work this
summer in commerce or industry,
or as regular domestic employees,
will need social security cards.
MyrOn MilbOuer, manager of the
Wilmington social security office,
said today He urges them to apply
for one now if they do not have a
social security card or need to re-
place a lost card There is no
charge for a card and no minimum
age requirement. Application blanks
are available at any post office,
employment office, or social securi-
ty office, the local manager stated.
He pointed out that it takes sew
eral days to get a social security
card, so he advised students not to
wait until an employer tells them
that they can't go to work until
they have q card-''Apply for a
card nOw,' MilbOuer said.
Any young person who has
worked in employment by social
security long enough to have been
paid wages of $50 or more in six
different calendar quarters is in
sured under social security at least
until he is 241s years old. If he
dies leaving no wife, a lump-sum
amount is payable to whomever
pays his burial expenses. If he
leaves a widow, the lump-sum goes
to her. If he leaves a widow and
one child,-mOnthly benefits may
be payable to both Of these surviV-
ors until the child is age 1S.

The Pony League starts on Mon
day, June l. The Milford Mustangs
open against Greenwood in Green
wood. The first home game will be
played on Friday, June 5th, against
SeafOrd.
The eight-team league this year
is divided into two divisions. The
Mustangs are in the Northern Div
isiOn with Greenwood, Harrington,
and Frederick, a newcomer. The
Southern Division is composed of
BridgeVille and Laurel, from last
year, and SeafOrd and Georgetown
as new teams. The schedule calls
for 20 games with Divisional and
Championship play-offs. Bridge
vile was last years winner.
All Milford players, managers,
coaches and even bat boys are COW
cred by $500.00 insurance, each.
The Mustangs, practicing daily,
are fast rounding into shape. It
will be a well-balanced team. All
boys (under IA as of June 1st) have
confidence and show vast improve
ment over last year. The pitching
is especially well padded with five
capable tOssers.
8 Lyn Taylor, Roy Mccullough and
Frank Lynch are coaches; Dave
Greene, umpire; "Dike" Kitchens,
scOrekeeper; DOnny Fisher, George
Welch and Larry Sharp, bat boys.
The probable starting lineup is:
Joe Wheatley, centerfield; Teddy
Fisher, shOrtstOp; Jack Sheaffer,
left field; Wayne Hoyt, third base;
Donnie Steiner, first base; Billy
Hendricks, second base; Bob
French or Roger Heegar, right
field; Jack Willis, catcher; Buddy
Wiesman, Gary Brown, Raymond
Kerr, pitchers.
Wayne Hoyt and Donnie Steiner
are also good pitchers. If either of
them are called on, the replace
ments for these boys regular pos
itiOns are three deep.
All players, coaches and person
mel are to meet at Taylor's home
Monday at 500 p. m, to go to
Greenwood. Parents with cars and
any others who can make the trip,
are urged to get in touch with the
staff as transportation may be
needed and a large roofing section
is always desirable.
