General
The first annual Parent-Teachers
Association meeting was held in the
high school auditorium Thursday
night, Oct. 17, 1946. Everyone
showed their deep interest in the
school by the large attendance that
was present. A very enjoyable pro-
gram was prsented by the Junio'
class. Also, officers were elected for
the following year at this meeting.
After the business meeting and pro-
gram, a very enjoyable social hour
was spent in which there was music
and pie walks, also lots of “scrump-
tious” things to eat.

hard feelings, we hope. By the time
this comes out in the paper our play,
“Betty Becomes Engaged,” will have
been presented. We are trying to
make it a success. Everyone misses

is ill. We hope she will be back soon.
Meanwhile, Mr. S. A. Hansen and
Mrs. Comer Tyler are substituting

A MESSAGE OF INTEREST
to all who await deliveries
of new Chevrolets
We want you to know that everything possible is being done to
speed deliveries to you; but production still lags far behind schedule
—even though Chevrolet has built more cars and trucks than
any other manufacturer from January through September 1946

IT IS
IN FOOD
at the
TI7E REALIZE how eagerly you are
\r\r awaiting delivery of the new Chevrolet
you have ordered from us, and we want to
pass on to you the latest information received
from the Chevrolet Motor Division, even
though that information isn’t too encouraging
at this time.
It is true that Chevrolet leads all other
manufacturers in total production of
passenger cars and trucks from January
through September 1946, despite the fact
that Chevrolet was out of production entirely
during the first three months of this year. It
is also true that Chevrolet has continued to
maintain its lead in total production during
the third quarter of 1946. And yet production
is still running far below desired levels, with
the result that Chevrolet’s output of cars and
trucks through September 1946 was only
38.7% of the number produced during the
corresponding period of 1941.
This means it may take many months for
the Chevrolet Motor Division to reach peak
production of new Chevrolets—even longer to
fill the unprecedented demand for this product
of BIG-CAR QUALITY AT LOWEST COST
—and, for the present at least, “there just
aren’t enough Chevrolets to go around, jj
as we wish there were.
However, we want you to know
Chevrolets are leaving the plants in the largest
numbers possible today. The Chevrolet Motor
Division tells us it is doing everything it can,
in the face of continued suppliers’ strikes,
material shortages and manpower problems, to
step up shipments to us and to all dealers, in
accordance with a predetermined distribution
plan assuring each dealer of his fair allotment,
based on 1941 passenger car sales. And we, in
turn, are doing, our best to deliver new Chev-
rolets to our customers as rapidly as they are
received and in the fairest possible way. We
are too appreciative of your loyalty and good-
will—too grateful for your patience and under-
standing —to do anything less than continue
to serve you to the very best of our ability.
KIEP YOUR PRISINT CAR
Meanwhile, the most important oar of all toyoum tha oar

ninf condition until yon secure delivery of year new Chevrolet, by
