For those wanting to see the Hooky Day films Nov. 25, contact the games committees at the McHenry Country Club. See you. We tried Grass Lake for dilcks lapt week-end. There were lots of mud-hen hunters in open boats and this didn't encourage the ducks much. The open boats had just as much right to be there as we did. We had waited about an hour when a brave muduhen came out of the refuge area. It flew low between two boats and one opened up op it He missed the bird, but hit one of the occupants of the other boat in the face, hand, and leg. The Victim of this display of f carelessness might have lost his sight-, had it not been for glasses which stopped" the force of the shot. Believe me, there were some hot words spoken on Grass Lake that morning. Always remember that killing a bird, or whatever you are hunting, is not worth injuring someone. We heard quite a few geese going over late Saturday night, and also had a report of a big flock of geese down at Snug Harbor the other day. Sunday morning we drove by the Country Club pond and through the fog we saw that it was covered with ducks. There were quite a few black mallards, a few bluebills, and even some canvasbacks. The biggest percentage were greenhead mallards. Squirrel season closes Wednesday, Oct. 31, at sunset. The seasons for hunting raccoon, opossum, skunk and weasel run from November 1st, to January 15th, in the Northern Zone and November 15, to January 15 in the Southern Zone. ^1 w :1i»ll 0 OUTDOORS F'j; v H ,41"'-'-A. . .

The public is invited to open house festivities featuring these new cars, which are "three years ahead." New Twist in Suspension The old vertical coil front springs ^re gone from the 1957 Dodge and Plymouth, which present a new type modern front . suspension, Torsion-Aire. Horizontal steel torsion- bars have replaced the upright coil type springs, and the new springing is achieved by slightly twisting these sturdy, straight bars. The torsion bars give a smoother softer ride, last longer, require less maintenance and occupy less spale .•-- a major factor in lowering the car'-> overall height. Rear leaf springs are mounted outside the frame rather than inside, substantially increasing the car's stability and reducing swny on turns. Suspension and steering systems of the new Dodge, as well as the engine, are completely isolated from the frame with rubber insulation to eliminate metal-to-metal contact for smooher, quieter performance. New Wheels and Brakes Fourteen-incl) tubeless tires are standard on the new Dodge, The larger tires, mounted on - smaller but wider safety-rim wheels, provide a double tread on the road surface for greater safety. New floating-shoe Total Contact brakes are safer to operate, easier to use and more economical to maintain. The new brakes give 30 per cent longer life and require one-fourth less pedal effort. Visibility for Safety Roof lines are thinner to accent the swept-wing look at the 1957 Dodge, but the roofs are stronger, yielding substantial improvement in driver visibility through use of 53 per cent more windshield glass. The larger windshields wrap around at the bottom as well aSj the" top, and on 1957 Dodge and Plymouth convertibles they also curve into the roof itself. To further increase driver and passenger visibility, windshield wiper blades are four inches longer. clearing 38 per cent more area. The variable-speed.wipers are electrically operated to guarantee constant action in all driving conditions. The low, Wide hood of the 1957 Dodgo arid Plymouth improves forward visibility, and the rear-view mirror has been moved to the base of the windshield. A full width back window wraps entirely around to slender, sloping corner posts, eliminating old blind spots and affording the driver a good view of both rear fenders. For wujtor. a rear window defroster is available. All instruments are clustered conveniently in front of the driver, beneath a raised hood shielding against windshield glare. More Luggage Spam The trunk compartment of the new Dodge is more than six feet wide and provides substantially increased usable storage space. The seldom-used spare tire is now horizontally mounted, out of the way, at the rear of the trunk. Even in cars equipped with: the new combination air-conditioning and heating system, there is no "plumbing" in the trunk. The entire heating-cooling unit is mounted on the dash panel. Safety Features Retained Two hold-over features of the 1957 Dodge and Plymouth are the Life-Guard safety door latches and the independent emergency braking system. The Life-Guard safety door latch automatically secures doors against accidental opening. New recessed door handles pull out with the same simple action used in opening a drawer, and offer no hazard to fingernails. The independent emergency brake, a Dodge exclusive in the medium price field, gives the driver two completely separate braking systems. Torque-Fllte Transmission , Dodge and Plymouth's new Torque-Flite push-button transmission gives livelier response in both acceleration and engine braking. 1957 Dodge Lancer Hardtop Five Inches Lower 1HE 1957 SWEPT-WING DODGE, lower and longer, has the most exclusive styling and engineering improvements in history. Height of the two-door Lancer hardtop models like the, Custom Royal Lancer shown above, has been reduced by five full inches so that the pew Dodge stands barely four and a half feet high. Rear fenders ward and backward to keynote the car's swept-wing styling, accenting a sport car ap> pearance that is also a mark of the jet aircraft age. DODGE INCREASES POWER TO HELP DRIVER CONTROL 'All the power that any safe driver wou'd need," in the words of Dodge President M. C. Patterson, has been built into the larger engines of the 1957 Dodge sweptwing passenger cars. The new engines provide "fulltime driver control" of the 1957 cars under all conditions of weather and terrain and with ample reserves of power on tap to enable motorists to "get out of difficult situations before they happen," Paterson said: Displacement of the Dodge Red Ram V-8 engine has been increased from 315 to 325 cubic inches and the compression ratio raised to 8.5 to 1. Horsepower is 245 @ 4400 rpm. Designed to operate on regular fuels, the Red Ram V-8 is standard equipment in Coronet V-8 and Royal models. The Super Red Ram V-8 engine for Custom Royal models is equipped with a four-barrel carburetor, dual exhausts and .extensions, special distributor, special air cleaner and a four-barrel intake manifold. Horsepower is 260 @ 4400 rpm. A special, high-performance D- 500 engine, available with double rocker arms and dual exhausts and extensions, has a single fourbarrel carburetor. Horsepower is 285 (S> 4800 rpm. The D-500 engine with two four-barrel carburetors develops 310 H.P. @ 4800 rpm. Subtle Color Shades Fourteen solid colore, all specially created in subtle shades, are available 'as single tones for 1953' Dodge cars. In addition, there ai« 51 stylish two-tone combination^ in the new warmer tones of high fashion color. The 1957 Dodge line consists <j| four separate series -- Coronet 6 and V-8, Royal V-8, Custom Royal V-8, and Station Wagon V-8--with four different four-door sedan$ three four-door Lancers, three two door Lancers, two club sedans, twt convertibles and five station wag> ons.

The Plaza V-8 retains a displacement of 277 cubic inches but, like the Fury 301, has a new camshaft, new carburetion, and other innovations to achieve 'ncreased performance and economy. The compression ratio of the Fury 301 is 8.5 to 1. Plaza V-8 comnression remains at 8 to 1. The compression ratio of the Power- Flow Six is increased from 7.6 to 1 in 1956 to 8 to 1 in 1957.
