The new seven-passenger model is a four-door touring sedan, with built-in trunk. It has a wherlba.se of 132 inches, and measures slightly more than 214 inches from bumper to bumper. In every dimension, the new candidate for luxury honors in its field is exceptionally spacious, and sets still higher standards comfort and roominess in the sen (ailed "seven-passenger" class. I actual fact, the new Plymouth model 'omforlaDlj' eals passengers.

It also boasts other exclusive advantages, such as hypoid rear axle, X-braced frame and soft-riding, airplane type shock absorbers. Of a design recently introduced by Plymouth, auxiliary seats of the new seven-passenger, which fold away in the back of the front seat when not in use, are the latest type. These extra seats are each 4 inches wider than seats formerly considered adequate, and are built 3 inches closer together, providing comfortable accommodation for three passengers. The characteristic streamlines all 1938 Plymouth models are given added emphasis by the greater length of the new seven-passenger sedan Exceptionally wide doors and correspondingly large windows provide maximum visibility for all passengers.

Plymouth's famous "safety styling" and all-steel body construction offer the highest protection to families of larger size, or to others who lise the new car as a chauffeur-driven model. The luxurious interior appointments are offered with a choice of mohair or broadcloth upholstery at no extra cost. The new de luxe model is powered by the same Plymouth engine used maximum economy and endurance, throughout the line and noted for Mother's Day At Jail A special Mother's Day service was held Sunday afternoon at the county jail for the negro prisoners.

SO DID MOST HERE SMOKE CAMELS which cig- planters TOBACCO PLANTERS SAY PLANTERS 'ROUND HERE.

YOU WONT NEED THREE GUESSES TO KNOW WHAT CIGARETTE CAMEL. I KNOW CAMELS ARE aTE rn across our old friend Clif-ton Almon, of Morgan County, at the Capitol Monday. Everybody rails Clifton, Cliff, and a member of the Alabama Legislature be was and is known as Cliff. He it the ton of our good old friend Dave Almon, whose death removed one of our best pals from earth. He is a member of a family that has produced many prominent men in the affairs of Alabama, jurists, congressmen, solicitors, legislators and what not.

including of course soldiers of the War Between the States and the World War. We were talking about fishing to Cliff and he invited us to spend a day or two fishing on the backwaters of the Tennessee River, waters backed up by Wheeler Dam. And we con- sented. "What is the political situation up your way?" we asked Mr. Almon.

he answered, "I was a Bob Goode man. From what I can hear a great percentage of the Goode men and a goodly percentage of the Sparks men in my section feel now that Dixon should be let alone since the people have spoken. If there is a run-off, we, Goode men In Morgan with many Sparks men, will Join to elect Mr. Dixon." It will be remembered that the writer contacted Mr. Almon during our tour of north Alabama and he told us how Dixon would run in his county.

And he also let us know then he was for Goode. HE HAIL SIBYL POOLE At the risk of running afoul of our wife of twenty-six years (we mean, we have been married that long and not that she is that young) we are going to congratulate the voters of Marengo County on returning Sibyl Poole to the Legislature. Sibyl made a fine legislator, always an the job and knowing about things before she voted. And we would say the same thing about Sibyl If she weie Mrs. Sibyl and forty years older.

But seriously speaking, or frivilously either, it is a wonder that a fine looking, or should we say stunning looking, young woman should be reelected to the legislature? GEORGE MILLER PULLS IT George Miller is getting to be a veteran of the legislature on speaking terms with a sure enough veteran like John Deloncy, of Colbert. Of course George has not served near as "Every Spring I take a course of S.S.S." I KNOW that tired-let-down-exhausted-feeling is often due to a lack of strength in my red cells."

Culbertaon: The following hand, which occurred in a team-of-four match, should provide a theme for one of your enlightening newspaper discourses. Practically every person with whom I have discussed this hand has approved of my partner's action in the bidding. Yet I am so certain that I know the Culbertson system that I have offered to bet them five to one that they are wrong. At the same time I feel like a rose amongst a bunch of thorns. Here is the hand, and you are the doctor: South, dealer.

My partner, North, and his cohorts claimed that my four heart jump was a definite "stop bid" showing distribution and not much honor strength. It was their contention that had I bid thrtt hearta North should and would have used the four-five no trump convention. My side of the picture simply was this: That my partner's one heart bid might have been a borderline takeout and that I couldn't afford his passing any bid I made short of game.

I felt my honor strength was a shade too weak for a game force in any other suit and therefore adopted the to me very strong bid of four hearts. In my circle there seems to be an Impression that if South opens tne bidding with one club, let us say, and North responds with one heart, a three heart bid by South is now an absolute game force, and hi the North position these players will bid game in their own suit or no trump with no further values in their hand Please write an article and straighten them out. Yours truly, R. W. Gee whiz, I can't write another article on this subject so soon after the thousand words I gave it in my column on Jan.

9. This precise situation long as Deloney but George has been serving for nearly 12 years and he was recently renominated to the legislative position from Sumter County. George Miller may be a formidable candidate for sDeaker of the House if he should run and we were informed by one of his best friends Monday that he was considering it. George would have, in the beginning, the prestige of' having been for the winning candidate for governor. That would mean something.

And beside that he would have the further prestige of seniority and experience. That would also mean something. We ate glad George Miller was reelected. While George is a dry, he I is not so dry that he does not know lhat a camel has to have something to whet his gooxle sometime.

When hii partner responded with one spade, noncommittal one-over-one, South wai strong enough to say I don't cart how weak your spade response is; think there is a good play for garni in spades." If South were to raise to only three spades the message would be: "Besides having an opening heart bid, I have very good spad support, so if you have better than a minimum one-over-one response please go to game in spades. In sequence it is quite another matter. Again South has opened the bidding with one heart and has shown defensive as well as playing strength. But now it is North, the responder, who jumps all the way to game In South's bid suit Here North hand is an unknown quantity.

He has not already advertised defensive strength and therefore presumably his raise li distributional and very limited, in honor tricks. To refer to the hand submitted, North's pass was horrible.

"Handy Ellis was reelected over a field of five." said John Haynes, assistant attorney general. Mr. Ellis has written me and I can say that he is a candidate for speaker of the House. If Mr. Ellis runs for speaker of the House, he will bring the number tunning to eight.

We do not know who he supported for governor but would guess it was his friend Hardy Riddle. And we may be wrong about It. It might have been Goode, or perhaps was it Sparks? I A COOK MAY GET BACK We have learned of the defeat of Dan Gullett Cook, of Wilt-ox County. Daniel Gullett was trvinc to get back into the legislature after serving in the present legislature but the voters of Wilcox County told him to stay at home. But Daniel Gullett has a brother Cook who is in the run-off in Elmore County and so a Cook has a chance to be a member of the legislature after all.

It has been something to talk about in the past when a Cook of Wilcox was not a member of the legislature. We were talking about Elmore County Monday to Hunter Oolson. who has been chosen as one of Elmore's representatives in the Dixon legislature. Hunter said there was a run-off for the oilier place and did not hazard a prediction about who would get it. Hunter Golson 1 a newspaper publisher as well as a fine business man.

TO year this Presented Key To New York's 1939 Spectacle Saturday Montgomery became one of the approximately one thousand communities in the United States to take part in the Preview of the New York World's Pair 1939 when N. C. Sentell Good-Will Courier, arrived in an official World's Fair Buick decorated with a model of the Trylon and 1-erisphere, the Theme Building of the Fair, which includes a 700-foot triangular spire and a 22-story structure built in the shape of a globe. The Good-Will Courier was met at the city limits by a caravan of Buick motor cars headed by Paul B.

Fuller, secretary of the Montgomery Chamber of Commerce, who acted as chairman of the reception committee, and F. G. Salter, representing the City of Montgomery; W. C. Bowman, president of the First National Bank, representing Oscar Well of Birmingham, chairman of the Alabama World's Fair committee; Hugh Adams, local Buick dealer; Wil liam G- Woolfolk and E.

W. Pritchett, gomery, co-sponsors in the venture of spreading Goodwill for the World's Fair. The celebration activities took place at the south entrance of the Capitol where Mr. Bowman, presented Gov. Graves through Pitt Tyson Maner with the key to World's Fair.

Such celebrations will continue til nearly every key city in the Unit ed States has cooperated in tne Good-Will tour, receiving Couriers viewing the models of the Trylon and Perisphere. and exhibiting their in- terest in America's Fair. In each city the Mayor will sign a Scroll of Honor which is to be presented to the Governor of the State at the completion of the tour. In addition to representing the World's Fair, this tour also forms, in co-operation with a nation-wide safety driving demonstration. For this demonstration the World's Fair has chosen the U.

S. Rubber new safety tire the Royal Master. The cars will travel a total distance equal to five times around the world, will be under direction of the U. S. Rubber Field Engineering organization.

The Courier will visit branches and dealer outlets of the companies whose products have been chosen by the World's Fair for this Good-Will Tour in every State in the Union. The tour started when Grover A. Whalen, president of the Fair Corporation, dispatched forty-nine cars to Washington, D. and the State capitals after an appropriate ceremony on the Fair site in Flushing Meadow Park in New York City. In almost every case the cars have been met by State Governors who accepted practically unanimously Mr.

Whalen's invitation to take part in the Fair's Preview. The Governors were presented with keys to the Fair and letters of greeting. After visiting the State capitals the cars started on lntra-State tours of which Montgomery was part Saturday. legislator and it is hoped that every legislator who comes to Montgomery next January in the Dixon administration will measure up to the business, moral and mental standards of Hunter Golson. LEE TALKS FISHING We have said on many occasions that Lawrence Lee, legal adviser of Governor Graves, is about the most popular man in the Capitol with newsmen.

It is because Lawrence Lee is not only courteous but is not squeamish. lie is not afraid to say something or let our information and when he does it, it is absolutely reliable. Lawrence Lee talked to us about fishing Monday. He has forgotten the election. He does not even hint at It.

We do not know for whom he voted but he voted without rancor, we know We are going to inveigle him Into a fishing trip nettv soon or we miss our guess. V. F. W. Concludes A Successful Year Post No.
