Sept. 23-24
(Starting Times Page 2)
Delco-Remy's 14th Fairway Funfest to be held Sept. 23-24 at Grandview has broken all previous entry records by nearly 100 golfers.
A total of 610 divot diggers varying in talent from the duffer to the near-pro have signed to shoot in the 18-hole blind handicap event. Last fall's record entry of 519 has been completely overshadowed.
The golfers will invade Grandview in two waves. Friday's Sept. 23 group of 122 will be Nite Owl employes, and Saturday's Sept. 24 horde of 488 will be the day men.

Chicago, here
we come
700 to attend
tool exhibit
Tomorrow morning, Sept. 10, upwards to 700 members of Delco-Remy supervision will motor to Chicago by chartered busses to tour The Machine Tool Exposition being held in the International Amphitheatre.
Included in the 700 will be representatives from every section of Delco-Remy which is involved in designing, building, maintaining and buying of machinery and others who supervise the use of this equipment in the manufacturing of our products.
There will be engineers, designers, foremen and general foremen, assistant plant superintendents and plant superintendents.
Because Delco-Remy uses so many and so wide a variety of machine tools it is believed this Saturday trip will be of great present and future value to the D-R people responsible for using our machinery.
The Exposition is expected to attract upwards to 130,000 manufacturing a n d metalworking men from the U.S.A. and foreign countries during its 11 days in Chicago. Over 1,000 of the very latest machine tools, valued at $25 million, will be seen in actual operation.
