Nazi Storm Troopers j Just Gang of Kids NEW ORLEANS—A juvenile storm troopers' club, based on the Nazi organization, was smashed here recently. The youngster who was the chief of the organization declared defiantly. ' I have infor mation that Hitler is still alive in Argentina, and I am going there." ' Because of the subversive char acter of the gang, the F B I. has ' been called to investigate its mem bers. Some officials believe that the gang was first organized by adults. The club used the Nazi swas tika as its emblem. One side of the membership cards bore the words. "I am a member of the Nazi party,” and a picture of Adolf Hitler on the other. The club had nine officers. Undoing of the club was the re fusal to admit an eight-year-old boy for membership. He tattled on the gang, telling police where some of the members lived. He led po lice to club headquarters where 4.000 rounds of ammunition were found along with some knives. The gang specialized in dam aging railroad cars. Mattoax The Mattoax Home Demonstra tion Club met with Mrs. Roy Saunders, Friday. Jan 9. for their! regular monthly meeting. Mrs. i Dorothy Smith, home agent, gave each member a year book, and i

asked that they make Rood use of it. She also asked members to keep a record of their work, in the year book. She announced a sewiniR machine clinic, to be held in Amelia, to convert old Tredle machines, into electric. Several members are planninR to take ad vantage of this opportunity to get their sewing machines re-model ed. Making tufted bedspreads, was the demonstration for this meeting- and. even tho the weather was bad. twelve women were present to start their bed spread. It was an interesting sight to see everyone sitting around with bedspreads and needle' and taking instructions from the home agent, on the cor rect ways cf making the tufts. The club has already made lovely lampshades from parch ment which makes for better lighting in the home. Now the bedspreads are getting under way. The aim this year is to make something that can be exhibited at the Fair in the fall.

CFRF. in literal fact, is the nio«S advanced VS engine ever placed in a standard-production American automobile. It is the first such VK to reach an 8.5 to 1 compression ratio, and the first with a dynamic flow muffler that cuts power loss to zero. It is the first V8 to utilize vertical valves together with a 12-vdlt electri cal system instead of the usual 6. It is also the first designed with new "T” type intake manifold to replace the “Y” type conventionally used in VSs. Tt is, quite simply, the first V8 Fireball Fngine —the engine that brings electri fying performance to the greatest Ruirks in fifty great years —the engine that powers the 1953 Hoick Roadmastpr with 188 bp., and the J953 Buick Super with up to 170. Naturally, this spectacular new V8 has been proved - by eight years of devel oping, testing, improving, perfecting

and by more than a mil lion miles of driving through desert, mountains, cities and plains. Only then did Buick engineers mark it: Released for Production. But these bard-to-please engineers gave these Golden Anniversary Buicks far more than new power. They gave them, too, a still finer ride, « more superb comfort, new braking power and handling ease - and a sensa tional new Twin-Turbine Dynaflow Drive* that adds new quiet and whip fast getaway to absolute smoothness. Nothing, we believe, will do more justice to your automobile dollars-or to your love of magnificent motoring — than a visit to us right now. *Stjudori on Headmaster, optional at exit a cost on ether Series.
