” Many New Features In 1953 Chevrolet

Exvpandnd to include a third ser-

ie. of cars, and boasting more lig- niflcant advandes than ever in- coiporated in la model in the low- prlce field. the widely discussed new Ohevrolets made their public appearance at dealer show- room: yesterday.

Flor the 1953 market, bodies have been completely re-designed. All cars have increased power, with special emphasis on a new power train that includes a new engine and improved automatic transmis- sion. In performance, in economy, in driving and riding qualities. exterior and interior appolntineiits. the latest Chevrolet models con- tribute importantly to automotive progress.

Features of the new cars range throughout the bodies and chassis. Of major interest:

The entirely new series, to be known as the Bel Air. is credited with offeriiig the most luxurious models in Chevrolet liistory. To be produced as two and four-door sedans. a convertible and sport coupe. the Bel Airs are included in the choice of 16 Fisher body types. Other passenger car series are designated as the "Two-Ten" and "One-Fifty".

A new 115 horsepower "Blue I-'linne" engine has been coupled with the famous Powcrglide auto- matic transniission which has been re-engineercrl for greater operat- ing economy and faster pickup. A new ”Thrift-King" engine, teamed with the silent synchromcsh trans- mission, also moves up to 103 horsepower.

Two Chevrolet "firsts" in the low-price automotive bracket are registered ill optional equipment available on all models at extra cost. Power steering, which re- du 2 manual effort yet maintains traditional stccrliig safety, makes its debut. The second innovation is the Autronic Eye, an electronic mechanism that automatically low- ers headlamp bennis for passing.

The new bodies are rooinicr and stronger with greatly rxpaiided visibility. All have curved, one- piece windslnelds from which the renter divider has been eliminated Other body oonslriietiun highspots include swiiigout front door hinges to provide easier entrance; fold- away front seat backs in two-door models; and wrap-around rear windows on the "Two-Ten” and itBel Air" series.

the "One-l"ift.y" series and the "Two-Ten" Club Coupe are four inches wider.

Operating advances include the automatic choke on all cars, soft- er. smoother brake action. easier steering, even more reliable start- ing in damp weather, static-free ignition, softer front. and rear springs for improved ride, and higher capacity generator.

Theie are unusual developments in the station wagon field. Three, station wagons, one known as the Townsman (eight-passenger in the ”Two-Ten" series) and two known as the 1-land-yman (six-passenger in the "Two-Ten" and ”One-Fifty series). The Handyman contains a three-passenger rear seat that can be folded into the floor.

There is an array of conven- ience items on all models, includ- ing key-turn starting, crank-type front door ventipane controls and almost one-fourth more luggage space. Trunk ,lid openings have been enlarged and deepened. The sill is now at virtually trunk floor level as an aid to luggage loading.

A lavish choice of brilliant new colors is offered in a wide array of solid and two-tone combina- tions. Two-tone interiors harmon- ,ize with the selection of exterior 'colors in many of the cars.

Over-all. the cars are lower, but with an increase in headroom and legroom. The top of the bodies has been broadened to provide an additional width while hood and trunk lines are more pro- nounced. Fender shapes, both front and rear, make the cars ap- pear longer although they are act- ually two inches shorter than last year largely due to a repositioning lot the bumper. The new length

makes for greater parking ease with the more compact bumper, design reducing the "overhang '

from axles. Wheelbase remains the same.

A fresh grille treatment enhances the effect of ruggedness in the new models. 'P'nree vertical "prop baits” decorate the center element rwhile the outer rim of the grille encircles smart packing lamps. Headlamps are embedded in the 'front fenders with the crown be- in: extended into a speedline along the side of the body. Rear fend- ers are longer, higher and nar- rower nt the rear. Along the trail- ing edge are mounted lenses for turn signals, backup, stop and tail lights. '

The natural inheritance of the mink for size is to me at least by far the most important factor. De- termining this factor is ll job that kits are

Last Thursday, January 8th,was lng overfed and usually this is an

arrival day for mink at "the show of shows” the International Mink Show. Milwaukee, Wis. Fri- day. Jan. 9th was judging and mixing party day, Saturday.Judg- ing and banquet day, Sunday, Jan. 11th awarding of prizes and sale of prize-winning mink. The show headquarters is at the Schroeder Hotel, Milwaukee, and is billed as the biggest and best ever held in the United States. A great deal of money is behind it and a great deal of enthusiasm and no doubt it will live up to ex- pectations.

Andrew Sturgeon has writiter. a very sensible article in the UE. Fur Rancher for December. This is it in part .. . .Aiiy rancher who has ever tried to produce large and prolific mink knows how discouraging a job it can be mid that theories have ii strange habit of not working but in actual practice. From actual experience over the last fifteen yeiirs we have come to the conclusion that while

lrirge mink can be made some- what larger eventually some law of growth comes into affect and no amount of feed or care or selective breeding seems to help beyond that point. However, the

average rancher is more concern- ed with making his small mink larger than he is with making his large mink larger and thisarticlc is written on that basis. 0 0 I

The next problem. is separating the naturally small mink from the naturally large mink and then picking breeders from the naturally large mink. Usually the melee" of males is limited to the best 5 per rent of the kit males and the choice is not too difficult. However, the best 25 per cent of the kit females may be required and it usually de- velons into the problem of how much iniriliiy can be sacrificed for sire. Usuallv if a female is not quite tops in quality but is really large it is kept in preference to a female of better quality but small- or size. on the belief that when bred in a top male some of the kits

will be outstanding in size and nualiiv. It has been our belief that if nothing more is done to obtain size than the one fact of pelting the smallest of 50 per cent of each year's crop the herd will in a few years be considerably above aver- age insize.

Mink seem to fall into two gen- eral classes as far as natural in-

to maintains a fairly consistent aver- ho age or production in captivity and load.

It would seem that picking but I know "of no one magic feed breeders from larger litters would kits be an advantage.

"I heard today that Billy Mc- Kay of Newcastle had bought; Chlllo Patch, a five-year-oldgreen pacing mare from Mr. Malta o.' Campbellton. I' saw this mare last fall and she can really turn it on. There are nine horses wintering at Chatham track. Glen Jenkins has True Holme, a green pacer, also Ritz Ohilcoot 2.09, that I saw race in Quebec last fall and he is a real tough one any place. Em Barnett, who was up in Quebec last summer with Bob Morrison, is back home and has two calls, one for Eldon Fowley. Chatham, out of Diana. Grattan and sired by Federal, and Miss Ellis. owned by Mr. Thompson of Chatham Head. She is by Federal out of Tilly Direct, and is a real clasy pacer. He bought her from Mr. LeBlanc of Rogersville, who has quite a few colts out of Tilly Direct and Belle Britton. I understand this year's foals are by widow's Pride 2, 2.04, and that Clarence and Ronnie Cripps are going to buy a stud colt out of Belle Britton by widow's Pride. a

Others are surprise Lady 2.16 W5, Maxie Federal 2.16 M5, Joe Eves 2.22 U5, all owned by James Watt, Chandler, Que., and a green pacer, Holly G... owned by W.M. Flemming, Jumper", N. B. She is a full sister to Donald G. R. I trained her last year but she got into an accident the first heat she raced and we turned her out. This is a. classy mare and doesn't wear a thing only hopples and she has improved every time we turn- ed her around and can finish nf mile just like Donald G. R. 2.08; W5. 1 was sorry when that horse was sold to parties in Maine. Frankie Carr drove him for me that night at Woodstock and he and Abbeland raced like a team from the five-eighths pole and he just nipped me the last stride. Well, Colonel, this is all I have to write about at this time. I expect to drop over to see you all some time during the summer. By the way, how is Ed Downe this win- ter?

Everyone we meet. who attended the Harrisburg auction sale agrees that it was a golden opportunity to buy fast, well-bred trotters and pacers at bargain prices. Here is an instance...Tcxas Brewer, No. 119, in the catalogue, by Direct Brewer 4, 2.04, by Billy Direct 1.55. world's champion pacer, dam, Ednal Brewer 4, 2.00, dam of four in 2.05 and eight in 2.10. Direct Brewer is also the sire of five in 2.10 and three in 2.05. The dam of Texas Brewer is Symbol Belle 2.081;, the dam of Flying Stone 4. 2.054. and several others, mid her sire was Symbol S. Forest 2.01114 and her dam the famous Belle McKlyo 2.04. Texas Brewer was knocked down to Frank Campbell of Syd- ney for e950, and now look what he did! On the night of October 1st at Yonkers Raceway. N. Y., he won the CC Pace, purse s2,000 from a fast field in 2.07 U5.
