A Family Affair
The telephone is a family
affair, says the Literary Digest.
The children, as well as father
and mother, use it.
Groceries are ordered, part
ies planned, engagements
made or cancelled and other
matters disposed of conveni
ently over the telephone.

EXPECT RECORD PRODUCTION
Having achieved world leadership
in automobile manufacturing in 1927
with a yearly output nearly 2,000
units in excess of it» program of a
million cars, the Chevrolet Motor
Company has embarked in 1928 upon
the most ambitious production and
sales plans in its entire sixteen years
of existence, according to W. S. Knud
sen, president and general manager.
Production for the year just ended
totaled 1,001,834 units for a gain of
more than 30 per cent over the 732,
147 cars and trucks built in 1920 and
93 percent over the 1925 production
of 519,000 units.
The 1,000,000th car built in 1927
rolled off the assembly lines at the
Flint, Michigan, plant December 30,
with C. F. Barth, vice-president in
charge of manufacturing at the
wheel. The history making model
was a sedan. It was prepared for im
mediate shipment so that, with more
than 32,000 other new models built in
December, it might be available for
prompt delivery to new car pur
chasers.
Throughout 1927 factories were on
peak production schedules, while
month after month tentative sched
ules hud to be increased to meet the
demand for the 1927 models.
The year as a result was the most
spectacular and most successful in
Chevrolet history.
Remarkable as were* its 1927
achievements, however, the outlook
for 1928 looms even brighter, accord
ing to Mr. Knudsen, who stated that
while no definite production figure has
been set for 1928, this year’s volume
is certain to top by a comfortable
margin the record high mark for
1927.
His prediction is based on country
wide prosperity which by every token
shoud brifig the automobile industry
the greatest year it has ever known,
Mr. Knudson stated.
"Our own organization is prepared
to handle its full share of this anti
cipated growth in business,” he said.
“All Chevrolet production operations
are on a maximum capacity basis that
we may meet the 1928 demand, and
muke immediate delivery on all
models.
“During the latter part of 1927 we
made extensive preparations for our
1928 prdfrram. Our sales organiza
tion has been enlarged and intensified
through the creation of the new .re
gional and zone sales offices, and by
additions to the field personnel.
“Our service to the owner is on a
new high level through the opening
of new parts depots and warehouses
to expedite delivery of new or replace
ment parts.
“Production facilities also have been
augmented by the recent purchase of
a $4,500,000 foundry at Saginaw,
Michigan, and a new assembly plant
which will get into production shortly
at Atlanta, Oa., to supply the South
west, and which will increase by 350
cars a day the volume of the other
seven assembly plants now in opera
tion in the United States.
“With these improved facilities, and
with our bigger and better car for
1928, which at substantial price re
ductions won such a warm public re
ception upon its initial showing on
January 1, we feel assured of estab
lishing new records this year, and of
maintaining the steadfast public con
fidence in the Chevrolet Motor Com
pany which alone made possible our
very gratifying showing in 1927.”

CELIA ITEMS.
The old year was sure a rough one
and left a lot of frostbitten feet,
hands, and noses, but the new year
seems to be in earnest about warm
ing up things in general and cold
feelings)in particular.
A bright little girl came to spread
sunshine in the Arch McKathnie home
Tuesday evening. It was, however,
not a visit by the stork, as she came
per automobile from the home of de
pendent children at Lincoln.
A jolly crowd, which included most
all the neighbors, gathered at the J.
V. Johnson home Friday evening. The
happy occasion was an oyster supper,
served by Mrs. Johnson, given as a
penalty for raising the most turkeys
the past season. Music and singing
was the main pastime for the even
ing. The music was furnished by
Johnson on the parlor organ and har
monica, Johnson would rather play
these instruments that eat.
Albert and Alpha Johnson left for
Oakland Saturday in the coupe of
Alpha to start her high school work
Monday. Albert to attend to the farm
rented by him and his brother, El
mer. Stanley Johnson accompanied
by Willard Greenwood, started out
the same day and headed for the same
place, with the Johnson truck, haul
ing a pair of mules which might be
used in farming by the boys. Stan
ley and Mr. Greenwood returned Mon
day morning, bringing a load of oats
Fred Turner shipped a load of hogs
Wednesday.
It may interest some of the read
ers that word was received some few
days ago. that Miss ora FritchofF
passed away Monday, December 19th,
at her home in Omaha. The imme
diate cause of her death was ulcers
of the stomach. She was the oldest
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Pete J.
FritchofF, early settlers of this com
munity. She leaves two sisters and
three brothers to mourn her loss. Miss
FritchofF was well educated and
