Paul Newman at 50? No; Adolf Weil at
38. Ageless Adolf keeps bringing cheer
to the hearts of the over thirty crew.

Why is the Reverend smiling? Because
motion picture and TV commercial star
Malcolm Smith just brought home his

fAustria. The ISOT was "sure a lot of
fu n," said Malcolm who changed tires
three t imes in a row and ended up wit h
a 21 inch tube in an 18 inch t ire.
