More Milk For Schools
Thru New USDA Plan
(continued from first page)
sumption has been increased, a
"base" is established for each par
ticipating school, representing its
normal consumption of milk. Then
the school is reimbursed for part
of the cost of all milk served in
addition to the base. To partici
pate in this program, a school must
operate its food and milk service
on a nonprofit basis.
The program allows local school
officials wide authority in its ap
plication. Milk may be served at
any time during the schoolday—at
recess, or even before classes be
gin in the morning. Schools that
have not be£n serving milk have
unlimited opportunity to make
milk available to their children.
Schools already serving milk can
increase the size of servings, and
a child may drink as many serv
ings as he wants.
The increased consumption will
mean immediate and long-range
benefits both to the dairy industry
and to schoolchildren, according
to McAllister, because milk drink
ing promotes good health during
childhood and a firm health foun
dation for later years.

OPENS SUNDAY — Clifton W'ebb and Arlene Dahl in a scene from
the Cinemascope comedy-drama, "A Woman's World", opening Sunday
at the Milford.
New Fords On Display
At B. V. Wharton f s
(continued from first page)
tor wjth automatic choke and
special intake manifold; special
vacuum controlled distributor:
high compression cylinder heads
and high capacity radiator. Ford's
popular V-8 and 6 cylinder engines
are available with any of the 16
Ford models for 1955.
L. D. Crusoe, vice president of
Ford Motor Company and general
manager of Ford Division, an
nounced that Ford is introducing
a new integrated air conditioning
and heating system with its 1955
models. This system will be dealer
installed. "Ford's new cars," Mr.
Crusoe said, "are notable for new
'Trigger-Torque'power which gives
greatly increased responsiveness in
driving range and better maneuver
ability and flexibility in traffic. A
44 foot-pound Increase in torque
in the V-8 engine provides faster
starts at lower speeds and also ex
tra power for safer passing at
higher speeds. This is part of a
balanced combination of horsepow
er, torque, transmission and rear
axle ratio which also gives greater
gasoline economy."
The new Ford Fairlane series,
named after the home of the late
Henry Ford, includes a completely
new' styling idea—the Crown Vic
toria model. This car has an arch
of chrome over the top like a tiara.
It also is available with a trans
parent plastic roof over the driver's
compartment
- Like all 1955 Fords, the Fairlane
models have a new concave grill
composed of a sturdy chrome
plated grid. Fairlane cars are lm
mediately recognized by a chrome
trimline which starts on top of
each front fender at the headlamp
and follows the curvature of the
fender downward — then sweeps
along the side to the tail lights.
Hooded headlamps give the high
front fenders a forward thrust
look while rear fenders form a re
verse angle above larger tail lamps.
All the new Fords have a flatter
hood and a longer rear deck.
New upholstery fabrics, many
developed especially for the 1955
Fords, qre available in a broad
selection of colors and patterns.
Thirty-five textile mills wSre con
tacted in the development of spec-*
ial woven plastics, decorator fabrics
and vinyls created exclusively for
the new Fords. They are matched
with 13 exterior colors in single
tones and also in a variety of new
and unusual two-tone treatments
on the Fairlane series. '

Victorias, the Fairlane series in

Ford s new , lower silhouette is
the result f>f a redesigned frame
which has made possible a reduc
tion in overall height of all models.
For example, the Crown Victoria
models have an overall height of
only 58.2 inches. Sedans
duced 1.3 inches under the 1954
models without loss of headroom.
A greatly improved "ride" and
easier handling result from an en
tirely new chassis, new shock ab
sorber valving, spring improve
ments and new "angle poised" ball
joint suspension which Ford intro
duced last year. The ball-joint
front suspension has been further
iniproved by tilting the horizontal
axis of the suspension 3 degrees so
the wheels roll over the bumps
more easily and road shock is less
ened.
New tubeless tirçs, first intro
duced in the low-priced field by
Ford in 1954, are again standard
equipment and offer greater safe
ty because they retain air longer
after a puncture.
Four driving assists — power
brakes, power steering, four power
windows and four-way power seats
which, along with the conventionäl
seat, can be moved two inches fur
