ed about 190S, began last October
erecting its new place of worship

a building complete enough to
meet in They've been finishing
it out ever since.
Their pastor, the Rev. A. D

a well. But otherwise they have a
complete new building to greet an |
extra large number of visitors,'
former residents and even former
members, who will gather in the
community for its second annual
homecoming Saturday.
Most of the work was done by
the membership. Rev. Munsinger
said. Just one carpenter was em-
ployed. The building has a freshly-
painted education department. All
of it is clothed in brick veneer.
The church averages about 80

LIKE POWER STEERING
(Cormir doesn't veed it)
Corvair's ingenious design simply places the
engine in the rear. That means less weight 011
the front, wheels and a lighter, happier feel in
the curve of your hands. No power assist
is needed in a car that's naturally nimble.
See what a fresh engineering approach can
do? From handling and parking ease right
on, there just isn't anything ordinary or
conventional about Corvair. Look at its
practically flat floor, four-wheel independent
suspension, fold-down rear seat. Its air-cooled
rear engine that never needs water or anti-
freeze or radiator repairs... and leaves engine
heat and noise back where you've been. All
these special advantages are standard in every
Corvair. Just wait till you see how much
t hey add to your driving
pleasure. But why wait!
