Ford is built for people like never before
with up to five inches more shoulder room,
more hip room, knee room, leg room, too.
Ford's new Wide-Treod Design lets it hug the
rood like a coat of point. Say goodbye to
pitch and roll.
Ford hos new 5-foot-Iong, wider-spoeed rear
springs that help take the swing out of
eornerins the "squot" out of starting,
the dive out of stopping. What's more,
Ford'S rear springs are Self-ddjuSting.
Ford hos the most efficient v-s's in its history.
Now, two of FordS Thunderbird V-S's-
the 292 VS. and $50 V-S-thrive on REGULAR
gas! Power choices range all the way up to
the Thunderbird $50 Special VS. that leaves
'em all behind!
And you get even more Of those wonderful
Ford money savings. You can go 1000 miles
without changing oil. There's a standard
oo-pdte battery at no extra cost . a new
alumlnized muller that normally lasts up to
twice as long and Diamond Lustre
Finish that never needs waxing.
At one stop, the greatest ronge Of outomo-
bile values in history. You'll find it paws to

W0man'S Role in
Income Tax Filing

Women play a far more i'm
important role taX-Wise than
'ealize, H. Alan Long, Chicago
District Director of Internal
Revenue announced.
Wives, he said, can do much
more than just keeping the
children quiet while husbands
prepare the income tax return.
One way wives can help, he
said, is to have available all
the records that make tax COM
putation easier. Canoe e d
hecks, receipts, records of con-
tributions, interest payments
ind the like should be kept in
a single package, ready for the
annual tax figuring.
A carbon copy of last years
tax return also is a good guide
in filing out the new return.
Records should be kept at least
three years after the filing date
incase Internal Revenue Ser
vice raises questions regarding
the return, he said.
Far too many returns can
not be processed because the
taxpayers names are not legi-
BILE, all necessary information
is not included, or the sigma
lures are lacking Mr.. Long
pointed out.

1t is to be expected that the
usual threats of job losses will
be made to those patronage job
holders who can be reached this
way. and promises of jobs that
don't exist is already being
done. But the Township Com
mitteeman does not know any
thing about it, he says. So when
it happens you should contact
him SO that the necessary steps
can be taken.
