They chucked out the $115,169 budget that the men had left them, got the new total down to $89,176.51 by bumping one policeman and one city street sweeper, voting down the scheduled purchase of a new police car and a street-cleaning machine (under the new regime, inmates of the city jail sweep the streets). Serving without pay themselves, the women slashed the salary of City Attorney Angelo Mosco, long a political power in Walsenburg, from $1,744.50 to $800 a year. Mosco brought charges of malfeasance against Mayor Stacy & Co. in the state district court, lost...
...first Formula Juniors were built in Italy three years ago as a safe and sane training car for Grand Prix drivers. Appalled by the dearth of first-class Italian drivers, Count Giovanni Lurani, an oldtime competitor himself, got together with drivers and automakers to devise a small sandlot version of the bellowing, big-engined (2,500 cc.) Ferraris and Maseratis-just as the familiar midget racers are pocket-sized editions of the Indianapolis "big cars." To make it safe, the Formula Junior got its dinky engine.

Crack Formula Junior mechanics and drivers are now getting their cars up to within a few m.p.h. of Grand Prix racers themselves on some tracks.

...usually quit before she hit 200 because, she admits, "I get to giggling over how we must look." Vienna-born Dr. Raab could not care less how he looks so long as he is warding off what he calls "loafer's heart." Dr. Raab never rides in a car or elevator if he can avoid it, wears out six or seven pairs of sole leathers a year. Loafer's heart, he believes, is sapping modern man's strength...
...owners everywhere by landing in jail. With status seekers from Beverly Hills to Mount Kisco still clamoring for Dual-Ghias, Dual-Motors last week announced that it will have a new Dual-Ghia hardtop for sale this fall, to be called the "Ghia 6-4-L." Unlike the old car, the new one will be assembled in Italy, exported to the U.S. at the rate of 35 a year. Other new features: air conditioning, a speed near 140 m.p.h.-and a statusmanlike new price...
