Black Ghosts Roon1ino
By CHARLES YARBRoUGH

You'll still find nostalgia
richards who would like to see
the return of the two-passen-
ger Thunderbird and who pre-
dicted dire things when the
model was discontinued.
When Ford introduced the
first one as a personal pres
tige car, experts all down the
line predicted a 10000 per year
sales rates. They sold about
$4,000 a year through 1857;
then introduced the four-pas-
senger car in 1858.
What has happened since
must be most pleasant history
to Ford.
Sales zoomed to 48,5O0 in
1858; to 72,800 in 1859 and
81 500 in 1860: probably will
reach 10000 for this year.
But for sheer driving pleas
ure, comfort in the noiseless
way and handling ease, the
1862 Thunderbird has reached
its finest hour. A passenger
called the two-door black Ian
dau I've been driving for a week
a BLACK ghost" The descrip-
ton was most accurate-ex-
cept this one, with a stand
ard 300 horsepower engine,
moves quicker than a ghost.
Its power steering, highly
sensitive, takes a bit of getting
used-to. particularly with that
much power under the hood
but after that driver break-in
the pleasure is like sheer. With
everything on it except air
conditioning, the car carries q
dealer sticker saying $5.163 80,

Ford has ever produced-405

avoid injury. The rules in
cude:
Now only during daylight,
unless you have good lighting
in the yard.
Don't use an electric now
er when the grass is wet and
slippery.
Never let youngsters or
pets around a mower. And no
one younger than his teens
should operate a power now
err.
= When starting the engine,
stand with your feet planted
in a safe spot. Always be sure
of your footing and balance,
especially when you are now
ing on an incline. Cut side
ways, not up and down, on
hills and banks.
Don't put gas in the mower
when it's running or still hot
from use. Always refuel out of
doors. Another safety caution:
don't forget to store the gaso-
line in an approved container.
Shut off the mower before
you move it from one level to
another, or when you work on
its underside. Never leave
the mower running when you
go in the house, talk to a
neighbor or leave it unattend-
ed for any reason.
. Make sure there are no
sticks, stones, wire or other
obstacles in the area you are
going to NOW.
Be sure you know how to
disengage the clutch and stop
the engine quickly.

only God can make a tree"
Flowers are used in so ma
ny ways in our lives, in hap
piness as well as sorrows, In
marriages, birthdays, illness,
anniversaries, and even death.
We find in them sweetness,
solace and pleasure all the
years Of our lives.
Death Of a loved one calls for
banks of flowers, a tribute to
the goodness of his life, and ia
ease the sorrow we feel at the
passing of a loved one. And
after a loved one dies we re-
turn time and time again, TO
lay an offering of roses Or
other flowers on the grave-a
silent tribute that speaks its
own message.
Enjoy the roses of May
while ye may. You are living
in a sad and dangerous world.
Each time you look on the
roses may be your last, so in
hale their fragrance and think
of the one who made them. 1t

May, The Month OF Roses
Consider the lilies of the
field" we are told by the Mas
ter in Luke 1927" How they
grow, they toll not, neither do
they spin. And yet I say unto
you, that even Soloman in all
his glory, was not arrayed
like one of these"
Yes it is true flowers neither
toll nor spin but Soloman in
all his glory was not arrayed
like one tiny flower created by
God to sustain man in his
deeper emotional and spiritual
moments.
Blunted indeed must be the
the soul of any person who
cannot enjoy this lovely month
of May, filled with roses, mag
nolias, iris, prim roses along
the roadside, and a new moon
growing brighter each night
in the western sky. May is
the month when flowers are
fairest and flowers are the
children of the garden, born
of sunshine and of rain.
In no species OF flowers can
more real beauty be found
than a rose in full bloom, and
| and of all the rare perfumes,
| none fingers longer than that
of the rose. The rose to my
way of thinking, remains mo-
march of the garden, undisput-

Food Tips

For variety next time you
make potato salad, omit l cup
Of potatoes and add l cup
chopped ham or spiced meat,
such as bologna or canned
lunch meat.
For sandwich, canape, or
dip, try blending a Bounce
package of cream cheese, one
third cup of sailed peanuts
and one third cup chopped
ripe olives with enough milk
to moisten. It's good spread or
heaped on buttered toast
squares.
