THE GRASS BURR
PAGE THREE
Another of the rods around Kan-
garoo Land is Mike Duncan’s
’39 Ford four-door sedan. The
car is motivated by a '56 Buick
engine driving through a ’50
Mercury overdrive transmission
and has home-made headers and
an aluminium flywheel.
The engine has been modified
by the addition of a Rochester
four-barrel carburator. The
heads have been milled slightly,
and runs on high compression
pistons. The engine is now eq-
uipped with hydralic lifters, but
in the near future Mike hopes
to acquire a set of Iskenderian
lifters, or a Thomas conversion
kit.
At present Mike’s overdrive is
out of commission, but this will
be fixed as soon as time allows.
Mike has never run the car in
competition, but he estimates it
would fall into the “B” Gas
Class.

“It’s never too early to begin
thinking about Christmas,” Mr.
and Mrs. Idyss Cox, florists
from Mineral Wells, told 62
Future Homemakers Wednesday,
November 13. The entire pro-
gram was devoted to flower ar-
rangements which would be ap-
propriate for Thanksgiving and
Christmas.
Mr. and Mrs. Cox made one
arrangement with three ceramic
boys on an arrangement of red
carnations in a white ceramic
bowl. Behind the figurines were
three lighted red candles. A-
nother interesting arrangement
was made of blue and green
carnations and accented with
artificial leaves and two birds
sprinkled with blue and green
glitter.
Mrs. Cox stated, “Anyone
can make these arrangements
if he is neat in his work and
has a steady frong on which to
secure the flowers. Arrange-
ments can be made very in-
expensively from things at
home.”
At the close of the meeting,
Helen Pickard, Program chair-
man, presented Mr. and Mrs.
Cox with a box of candy.
