A different message
for newcomers from
First national. . .
If you are a newcomer to Bryan or College Station, this message is
for you.
The selection of a new hank is one of those decisions few people
seriously consider. After all, most banks are pretty much alike.
First National Bank of Bryan is a little different. And that difference
makes all the difference.
Sure. First National offers all the services of a full-service hank
(checking, savings, installment and commercial loans, trust
department, etc.). But First National gives you first name service.
To learn more about First National, visit our new banking house in
First Place (Texas Avenue midway between Bryan and College
Station).
Get First National going for you.

Ford transmissions
being investigated
United Press International
WASHINGTON — The govern
ment today warned the owners of an
estimated 9 million Ford cars and
trucks that there may be a problem
with the automatic transmissions
which could cause the vehicles to
slip into reverse while parked.
The National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration said it still has
not determined whether such a de
fect exists. But it said based on its
initial investigation it is issuing a
consumer warning that owners of
such cars should take precautions
when they are parking.
Involved are an estimated 9 mil
lion cars and light trucks 1970
through 197S models equipped with
C6 or FMX automatic transmis
sions.
“The NUTS A has reports of 770
accidents 259, injuries and 23
fatalities allegedly caused by au
tomatic transmissions jumping from
“park into “reverse gear,’ the
agency said.
“Precautions to be taken include
turning oft the engine, pushing the
gear selector all the way to the park’
position and pulling on the selector
lever without raising the lever to
make sure it is secured and setting
the parking brake,” it added.
“Vehicles should never be left
unattended with their engines run
ning — or even for the brief period
it may take to leave a vehicle to
close a garage door, make a pickup
at a store or check the mailbox at the
end of your driveway,” it said.
NUTS A also said it wants to hear,
preferrably in the form of a detailed
letter, from owners who have had
tic)
problems. They are asked to««
including the make, model anj
hide identification number of
dash board to NHTSA, Waski
D.G., 20590.
"We are pursuing this nw
tion on a priority basis and pL
complete it in the vet} nearfm
said Joan Claybrook, head of
agency.
“’But at this time we wantij
port that a problem may exist;
tween the park and reverse
itions on the transmission
selector system, leading the i
to erroneously believe the tran,,
sion is in park,” she said. "There ican
tendency to slip into rnenc
because of engine vibration ora
the closing of the door, ifthetn
mission is not firmly engaged in
park position.”
