New Record Sales By General Motors Retail sales of General Motors passenger cars in the United States during the first 10 days of September were the highest in history for that period, President Harlow H. Curtice announced today. The all-time records were established in both new and used car sales, Mr. Curtice said. Sales in both categories for 1955 through Sept. 10 also represented all-time peaks for that period of the year. All five GM passenger car divisions—Chevrolet, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Buick and Cadillac—recorded new highs in both new and used car sales for both the first 10 days of September and for 1955 through September 10. Domestic deliveries of new cars by GM dealers during the first 10 days of the month totaled 103,968 or 145.5 per cent of the figure for the corresponding period of 1954. For 1955 through Sept. 10, new car sales by GM dealers totaled 2,701,040 or 139.7 per cent of the 1954 mark for the same period. Used car sales by GM dealers for the first 10 days of September were 124,928, which was 129.6 per cent of the total for the same period a year ago. This brought 1955 used car sales through September 10 to 3,478,415, or 129.8 per cent of the figure for the corresponding period of 1954. "Our sales for the first 10 days of September reflect the continuing trend." S.C. TAKES ON OREGON DUCKS Southern California Trojans play their first night game of the young season when they host the Oregon Ducks this Friday evening in the L.A. Coliseum. The Trojans opened the 1955 season against Washington State last weekend under sunny Los Angeles skies while the Ducks played Utah under the lights at Salt Lake City. SC headman Jess Hill, fearing overconfidence against Oregon which lost great quarterback George Shaw and other students by graduation, has his charges concentrating on the Ducks this week so that the Trojans won't be looking ahead to the big intersectional against Texas the following weekend. Hill remarked, "Overlooking opponents to prepare for some other game in advance is the best way I know to get upset." SC dumped the Webfoots 24-14 last season in a nationally televised game in which Jon Arnett gained national "Back of the Week" honors. The Trojans' leading candidate for All-America honors this season, Arnett, a junior this year, is back to spoil the sleeping habits of Oregon coach Len Casanova. If Casanova can defense the Trojan tailback, he'll still have to worry about the rest of the backfield, veteran except for soph Don Hickman at right half.

Used car sales by GM dealers for the first 10 days of September were 124,928, which was 129.6 per cent of the total for the same period a year ago. This brought 1955 used car sales through September 10 to 3,478,415, or 129.8 per cent of the figure for the corresponding period of 1954. "Our sales for the first 10 days of September reflect the continuing high rate of demand for General Motors' passenger cars," Mr. Curtice said. "Our cars are moving into the hands of the public at a very high rate and are in line with production schedules and retail sales estimates."

STATE'S GENERAL FUND SOARING California's General Fund revenues for the first two months of the fiscal year soared $24,562,340 above the same period last year, a clear index of the state's continued high level of economic activity," declared State Controller Robert C. Kirkwood today. "If the present high economic level is sustained throughout the year, the necessity for dipping into the 'Rainy Day' fund will be slight if, in fact, it need be touched at all." Basis for Kirkwood's declaration was the Controller's monthly report of the cash condition of the General Fund as of Aug. 31, which showed general purpose revenues of $154,974,224 for July and August, and a treasury balance of $109,391,820 on Aug. 31. This balance compares with $51,533,999 on July 31, and $100,141,632 on Aug. 31, 1954. Revenue increases for July and August included: retail sales and use taxes, $17,720,069; liquor taxes, $3,815,567; bank and corporation franchise and income taxes, $2,463,292; personal income tax, $2,055,016; royalties and other revenues from state lands, $486,-326; and gift tax, $27,037. Of the above only one, liquor taxes, resulted from increased rates. A fertility rite of a Bengal marriage ceremony consists in tying the bridal couple to a tree by thread.
