A more massive appearance, brought about by a new grille treatment and lowered height, is
combined with a more powerful engine in the Mercury for 1956. A sweep side moulding adds to the
graceful flowing lines, and accentuates the low, road-hugging characteristics of the car. Powered
by a big new 312-cubic inch displacement Safety-Surge V-8 engine, the 1956 Mercury has superior
acceleration and passing ability. New safety features including an improved door latch, an impact
absorbing steering wheel and safety belts are offered. Shown here is a Custom four-door sedan.

U. S. MARKS ‘CONSTITUTION WEEK’
President Eisenhower has proclaimed the week beginning
Sept. 17 to be “Constitution Week 1955,” at the request of the
Daughters of the American Revolution. The Constitution was
approved on this date in 1787, in Philadelphia.
“It is fitting that we,” President Eisenhower said in his
proclamation, “whose entire lives have been protected by the
fruits of the Convention’s deliberations, should pause in our
several occupations to study the course of events by which our
Constitution came into being, the great debate which ensued
before our Federal Government became established and the
internal stresses and the assaults from without which we as a
i nation have met successfully, with God’s help, within the
framework established by our forebearers one hundred and
sixty years ago.”
The president suggested that appropriate ceremonies be
held in schools and churches and other suitable places to
“give thanks for the wisdom of those statesmen of 1787 who
labored to decide the fate of republican government.
The DAR has asked that all citizens “to cooperate to
make Constitution Week a national rededication of the funda
mental principles of the government of our American Re
public.

WOMEN’S DIETS NEED
MORE MILK
Miss Luc i1 e Higginbotham,
health specialist for the Agricul
tural Extension Service, says diet
surveys show that women have a
poor record as milk consumers,
often drinking less than they need
for good health. As a group, wom
en consume less milk than men or
teen-agers and older women drink
less milk than younger women.
PASTURE MANAGEMENT TIPS
Agricultural Extension Service
agronomists say let your pasture
get well established before heavy
grazing. In establishing Coastal
Bermuda, cultivate to control
weeds. Rotate grazing and do not
i overgraze. Weeds, they say, com
pete with pasture plants for mois
ture, light, and fertilizer elements.
With weed control, production can
be increased.
