Showing of
'SB Chevrolet
Set Thursday
Dramatic new styling and out
standing engineering advances
mark the 1958 Chevrolet which
makes its bow this week.
Labeled “the car of the year”
by newsmen and technical writ
ers who have attended private
showings, the new model will be
unveiled Thursday (October 31)
in Chevrolet dealerships across
the country.
Also on public display for the
first time will be the rakish 1958
Corvette and the latest in the
Chevrolet truck line.
The 1958 Chevrolet is new from
bumper-to-bumper and from
frame to roof line. The all-new
features include:
A completely re-styled car
which is longer, lower and wider
and emphasizes flowing sculptur
ed lines from the dual headlamps
to softly flared rear fenders.
An X-shaped frame which al
lows a lower silhouette but re
tains ample head room and in
crease leg room and luggage
space.
Two suspension systems for a
more luxurious ride along with
remarkable handling, stability
and durability. Sturdy coil
springs, front and rear, are stan
dard. A new ’’Level Air” system
which automatically adusts to
all load weights is optional.
A 348-cubic inch engine which
is new from fan to flywheel. De
signed primarily around a new
combustion chamber, the option
al Turbo-Thrust V 8 offers great
er torque for improved mid
range performance.
Chassis-body design integration
to supply exceptional structural
strength and greater rigidity.
Forward - mounted steering
linkage which provides more re
sponsive action and reduces road
vibration to the steering wheel.
Some idea of the fresh new
ness of the Chevrolet line is sug
gested by the new body group
ings and identification.
In recognition of the growing
popularity of station wagons, an
exclusive five-unit series of this
body type has been established.
The Bel Air series is continued,
but adds among its six models a
sumptuous sport coupe and con
vertible under the Impala name
plate, introduced as a “dream
car” at the General Motors Mo
torama in 1956.
In the middle range of the
low-priced car bracket is a Bis
cayne series, with two sedans.
The bottom end of the price
spread will be occupied by three
models making up the Delray
series. In 1957 comparable series
were know as Two-Ten and One-
Fifty, respectively.
Roominess and quality of the
new line, says the company, will
be immediately apparent.
Over-all lengths have been ex
tended a full nine inches to a
new measurement of 209 inches.
The wheelbase is up two and one
half inches to 117-I|2. Roof lines
have been lowered up to 2-12
inches, yet design skill has re
tained ample passenger head
room.
Mrs. Letha Tucker left from
her home in Jacksonville on Sat
urday to go to Cuba where she
with two others from Florida
were sent by the Hair Dressers
Association to be guests artists to
design hair at a National Hair
dressers Convention. She was e
lected by the State Hairdressers
of Florida.

hood. Notable also is an unusual Sculpturamic styling which sup
plies an air of distinction. A new engine, new frame and two new
suspension systems are only a few of the major chassis advances
Station Wagon, Bel Air, Biscayne and Delray Series are offered.

F.H.A. Girls Go
To Macon Fair
The F.H.A. girls of the Nahunta
High School left at 6 o’clock
Friday morning, Oct. 25, to go
to the State Fair in Macon. There
were 38 girls accompanied by
Mrs. Herschel Herrin and Mrs.
Elroy Strickland.
On the way we stopped in East
man. We were invited to tour
the candy plant there which was
very interesting. We were given
samples of the different kinds of
candy.
We arrived at the fair about
11 o’clock. To us the exhibit
building was most interesting. In
the building we saw the flower
show, at which there were many
beautiful arrangements. Counties
from over Georgia had their
booths which were composed of
exhibits representing their home,
school, and community life. We
also saw different types of hand
made items.
We left for home that after
noon about 3 o’clock, stopping in
Hazlehurst at a restaurant for
supper. We arrived in Nahunta
about 8:15. This was a most en
joyable trip and we are looking
forward to another one next
year.

2 Men Jailed After Holding
Up Service Station Attendant
John Willis
Tied up at
Pistol Point
Two men held up an attendant
at the Texaco Service Center in
Nahunta and took $92.77 cents
from the cash register Saturday
morning, Oct. 26.
The two men were captured
later on highway 341 south of
Jesup and brought back to Na
hunta and jailed. They gave their
names and addresses as Harry
Burton Maxine, 30, Fleishmans,
N. Y., and Arthur William Hylan
der, 30, of Poughkeepsie, N. Y.
The Texaco Service Center is
operatedby W . C. Long but only
the attendant John Willis was at
the filling station when the two
men drove up Saturday morning
about 6:30. They asked how far
it was to the South Carolina line,
then drove away.
The two men came back in a
bout five minutes and asked to
have their oil checked. John
Willis checked the oil and put
in two quarts. As he returned to
the cash register, one of the men
grabbed him and put a pistol at
his back. They then tied him to
a chair with a piece of cloth
rag, with his hands tied behind
the back of the chair.
The two took all the money
' from the .cash drawer put gas
in their 1947 Chevrolet and drove
away. Willis quickly worked his
hands loose. Sheriff Walter
Crews and police chief Stephens
of Nahunta were called and in
less than 15 minutes road blocks
were set up by various officers
on the main highways north,
south, east and west of Nahunta.
At Jesup sheriff Reddish had
a road block at the intersection
of Routes 301 and 341. State
patrolman Sgt. Mays of Bruns
wick was driving toward Jesup
when he passed the car of the
two holdup men but his radio was
not on and he did not know of
the robbery. He went on until
he found the road block at Jesup.
Sheriff Reddish told Sgt. Mays
about the holdup and described
the car to him. “I passed that car
down the road toward Bruns
wick,” the sergeant told the she
riff. The two officers then turn
ed back down Route 341 toward
Brunswick and arrested the two
men who offered no resistance.
All of the stolen money except
$3 was recovered. The two men
admitted the robbery but at first
claimed they had thrown the .32
calibre pistol away. They finally
dug the pistol from the upholstery
of the car. .
The two holdup men had dri
ven north from Nahunta on 301
after the holdup, turned right
toward Brunswick on Route 32,
then cut across country roads to
Route 341 and had started up 341
toward Jesup when they were
spotted and later arrested.
The fast work of Sheriff Wal
ter Crews of Brantley County
and police chief Stephens of Na
hunta in putting the news of the
holdup on the radio and the fast,
efficient actions of sheriff Red
dish and sergeant Mays of the
state patrol all combined to ef
fect the quick capture of the
two holdup men. They were plac
ed in the Brantley County jail
charged with armed robbery.
Mr. D. S. Lewis and Mr. and
Mrs. O. V. Lewis of Blackshear
were dinner guests of Mr. and
Mrs. Virgil Strickland on Sunday.
