Paye Four
Used Car Week Was
Successful in Grand Saline
THE GRAND SALINE SUN
Thursday, March 17,1938
Aware of the general interest in
National Used Car Exchange Week
which has just been concluded, Mr.
Barber, local Ford dealer, today as-
serted that it had been of immense
benefit locally.
“A concerted action of this kind
could not help but have a noticeable
effect in the community,” said Mr.
Barber.
“What is more, every owner of a
car who contemplated purchase of a
new 1938 car, will find that he has
been benefited individually.
“Analysis of the situation will make
this plain. When a dealer has too
many used cars on hand he is unable
to make acceptable allowances on cars
offered in trade, but when his stock
of used cars is reduced he can make
more attractive allowances.
“This is the very pleasant state of
affairs which followed in the wake of
National Used Car Exchange Week."
Mr. Barber declared that the trad-
ing position of his firm had been
greatly improved and the people who
had been waiting for the right time to
buy a new car can now feel assured
of an acceptable trade.

Indians Top String of Top-Notch
Cinder Teams In Thrilling Meet
The Grand Saline Indians rode high,
wide and handsome through a track
and field melee held last Friday night
in Garland, Dallas County, to emerge
with one and a half points the victor.
The Indians tallied 45 and one-half
points, Garland, 43 point*, Buckner’s
Orphan Home, 29, and one-half, Rock-
wall 16 and one-half, Nevada, 6 and
one-half, and Commerce 2.
Grand Saline boasted the first three
high point men in Pacer Morris, El-
wyn Shinn, and Harles Grant who
split 33 and one-fourth points, having
individually eleven and one fourth.
Stokes of Buckner’s Orphan’s Home
was next high point man with 10 and
1-2 points.
The warriors nabbed 7 of the 13
first places, with the remaining first
markers being divided between Gar-
land, Buckner’s, and Rockwall.
The 120 high hurdling event saw
Harles Grant negotiating the sticks
in the very fast time of 16 and seven-
tenth’s seconds. Pacer Morris gave
a very good indication that he can
pace, and really pace, when he took
the century dash in 10.3 seconds, and
the 220 dash in 23:5 seconds.
Jack Roberson running for the first
time the low hurdles in track season,
took a third tally, and came out with
a fourth in high jump. Incidentally,
the boys of up west have unusually
long legs and are rather spry, that
is, in high jumping.
The 440 dash gave Ellwyn Shinn
opportunity to show his stuff, and
he made it in 66 seconds flat, with
Ralph Miller coming in on a close
fourth.
Harles Grant took the half-mile run
down from its hanger in 2 minutes,
16 and 1-10 seconds. The warriors
coped successfully in the mile relay,
bringing in the baton in 3 minutes,
50 and 9-10 seconds, which is not as
fast as they really can run it—ac-
counted for by the fact that Pacer
Morris, one of the key-men, fell flat
twice!
The broad-jump blossomed forth
with a Warrior, Ellwyn Shinn envel-
oping first honors with a 19 foot
a 2Vi inch jump. This was Shinn’s
first time to compete in the distance
jumping, and he looks mighty good.
Herman Stevens knocked down a
third place in the shot put, won by a
distance of 46 feet. This is some-
thing unusual, for Steven’s is capable
of pushing that iron apple farther
than that, and all will readily agree
that he can put plenty of power be-
hind that iron eight-ball. He also
took third in the discus.

The Grand Saline Indians, who
faced Mineola and Golden Wednes-
day afternoon in a triangular meet,
were winners with a score of 77, as
compared with 38 ^ for Golden, and
35 Vi for Mineola. The practice meet
was held here under ideal weather
conditions.
Grand Saline won ten first places,
Golden three, and Mineola one. El-
wynn Shinn, broad-jump marvel, was
high point man with twelve and one-
fourth points. Grant and Morris tied
for second place, each winning two
first places, and each having a lap on
the mile relay.
The best time for any one event of
the day was when Pacer Morris ran
the century in 10:1.
The team is in good condition for
the County Meet Friday and Satur-
day of next week with the exception
that it is not known whether or not
Cordell Smith will be able tp be back
on account of a hip injury.
Indians Defeat Edgewood
On Wednesday afternoon of last
week the Indians defeated Edgewood
77—44. Grand Saline took eleven
first places as compared to three for
Edgewood.
Grand Saline has been in practice
meets with Van, Canton, Mineola,
Golden, Edgewood, Garland, Buckners
Orphans Home, Rockwall, Plano, Ne-
vada and Commerce, and the team has
been victorious in each of these
meets.
The Indians will go to the Fat
Stock Show on Friday and Saturday
of this week. Over seventy schools

second place in this meet last year,
with Johnny Stewart annexing two
first places in the meet, to tie for
high point man with Lonnie Hill of
Woodrow Wilson, Dallas.

line are not as good as they would
otherwise be.
