solid, substantial appearance of
its running mates--the Super and
Roadmaster Series--with funda-
mental characteristics of Buick
design presented in brand new
dress. 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.

Asked Specs Allen to go hunling
last week, Known him all my life,
so I wasn't surprised when he
showed up with no gun. Specs
doesn't like to kill anything.
Couhln't ask for a better hunt-
ing companion, though. We tramp
lu'ound the woods, and whenever
the clogs flush a bird, l blaze away
while Specs .just watches.
Told him once 1 was surprised l,e
went along.., feeling tim way be
does about shooting anythip/.
"Well, Joe," hc says, "you do what:
you think is right and 1'11 .tick
to what I think is right. I've no call
lo dislike you for not seeing every.
lhing the way I see it."
From where I sit, open-minded-
ness is a wonderful quality. There
are plenty of things Specs admires
that / don't care for. Like his
:fondness for butternilk. I'd rather
have a 'lass of beeir anytime . . .
but Sore/ Alh,n and I don't let
