Dynaflow, Buick's torque converter transmission, is avail- able as optional equipment. THE NEW SERIES is presented in two body styles and three models .... a six-passenger four- door sedan, a six-passenge two-door sedan, and a three-pas- senger two-door business coupe with added utility space in addi- tion to ample luggage room in the trunk compartment. High on the list of engineering achievements is the design of the combined bumper and grille. De- veloped by Buick and offered on the Special for the first time. this innovation was accomplished by placing the verticle bumper grille bars forward of the single-piece bumper. Two bomb-shaped hump- er guards, which also house the parking lamps, are mounted on the bumper. :New also are sweeping fender and body contours which indivil- ualize the Special from a styling standpoint. TIlE BUICK VENTIPORTS, a Buick development of htst year which has been widely copied, are relocated in the Special and are ovals rather than circles. They are mounted in the hood instead of in the fenders as on the Super and Roadmaster series. Although the ca,' is lower than its predecessor, Buick engineers accomplished this without sac,'i- £icing ground clearance or head room. Entrance room and leg room remain the Same despite the rear seat being moved still further forward.of the rear axle, providing added riding comfort for rear seat passengers. Eas- ier parking and maneuverability are made possible by the reducdd over-all length. Many changes are incorporated in the interior of the body, most important of which is the 12 inches additional width at hip level in the rear seat. ANOTHER important contribu- tion to passenger comfort and safety is the introduction of a new principle in heating, ventil- ating and defrosting, with intake of available air being increased 83 pet' cent. All instruments an d gauges have been rearranged and are grouped on the left side of the panel, with the speedometer above the steering column directly un- der the driver's eyes. Underneath the lower hood is the Fireball valve-in-head straight eight engine ,which delivers 110 horsepower with conventional synchromesh gearshift and 120 horsepower with Dynaflow. The former has a compression ratio of 6.3 to 1 while the latter is 6.9 to 1. Rhododendron Club At Merrymaking Picnic Conference Rhododendron" G a r d e n Club members combined business with pleasure at their meeting on Aug- ust 4 when they met at the home of their president, Florence Brain and her mother, Hazel Moon, for a potluck picnic dinner, There was much merrymaking and an inter- esting business session. Mrs. James Hampton was elect- ed to membership to take the place vacated by Laura Alien who resigned. Her teaching assign- merit for the coming school year makes it impossible for her to attend club meetings. Plans begun two months ago for' the September 10 fair were continued at this meeting, and Mrs. Brain asked all members to come to her home on August 24 to paint containers to be used at the fair. A lovely light yellow baby blan- ket, a gift from (club members to Elizabeth Matson, was shown by Virginia Kovack who acted as agent for the club in purchasing the gift. August 4 being Lela Evans' birthday, the group sang for her the happy birthday song. Mrs. Ewms alsc, won the white cle- 'phant, a couple of dish towels made by Della Goetsch. Levity gave place to solemnity at this meeting when an an- nouncc, ment was made of the death' of Myrtle Oliver, the club's vice-president and a beloved char- ter member'. A moment of silence was observed in respect to Mrs. Oliver's memm"y. II VISITORS AT MINERVA PARK . LAND LARGE FISH DURING WEEK By Mrs. S. E.
