Take a tip from the Old-Timers
Traveling around town here, you'll
find Buicks that arc still in servico
after six, eight, ten or even more years.
I
It's worth noting that these sturdy old
Buicks are still serving faithfully and
well, for several reasons.
I '
fThey have the same basic type of engine
as the sleek 1942 Buick - a rugged, long-
lived, extra-efficient valve-in-head,
though it is now made better by Fireball
| combustion.
They have the same dependable drive
— a stout torque tube encasing a sturdy
steel shaft stretching its unbroken length
from transmission to rear axle.
Frames are fundamentally the same
now as then; brakes, though hydraulic
now, uso the same, efficient, self-en-
ergizing action.
PINEY GROVE
Mrs. Ennis Anderson, Reporter
We had a fine crowd out for all
services this week. Bro. Kauf-
man sure brought us some fine
messages.
We are sure glad to see our Sun
day School and BTU growing. We
are so glad to have our new peo-
ple moving in our community and
attending our church services.
Our building committee and a
number of the other men of the
church, with the pastor visited the
Bloomburg church Sunday after-
noon to see the plans on which they
built their Sunday School rooms.

we may have our room's in the
near future.
We are very glad to see the in-
terest shown in the WMS week of
prayer which was observed Friday
with an all day meeting with 13
present. Our Lottie Moon offer-
ing of $14.81 was appreciated.
Bro. Kaufman spent Friday night
in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jay
Williams; Saturday night in the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Shar-
rer.
Mrs. Ida Burson was called to
Shreveport Friday. Her daughter
Mrs. Frank Standford underwent
an appendix operation. We wish
for her a speedy recovery.
Mr. and Mrs. Durall Dupree an-
nounce the arrival of a new baby
girl Friday, December 5, 1941,
named Alice Annette. Mother and
baby doing fine.
We extend sympathy to the
Crouch family over the death of
their nephew. The news was re-
ceived Sunday. He lived in Hous-
ton.
A number from the church with
the pastor surprised Rev. and Mrs.
Gilmore Sunday with a nice bas-
ket lunch prepared by the ladies.
All left after church services and
drove up to these good old people's
house and spread lunch. We thank
God for the people like Bro. and
Sister Gilmore. Those attending
the dinner were: Bro. Kaufman,
| Bro. W. J. Waters, Mr. and Mrs.
Isaac Beck and family, Mr. and

All the factors that mako for strengtK
and long life are still present — plus
such further advances as all-coil springs,
Domite pistons that squeeze more good
from gasoline, Compound Carburetiorvf]
that spells peak economy with un-
matched reserve power.
There's more comfort, more Conven-
ience, more beauty, more value In these*
'42 models.
But what counts is that they're still
Buicks — tough, rugged and dependable.
Take a look at what your next car isi
likely to be up against and ask yourself
if that isn't the kind of car it's smart to
buy right now.

No Silk Worms

The currujit ahortage bf silk

berry seed into f Mexico back in
1522. Nothing much came of that.
Attempts have been made to
start a silk industry in the United

The main barriers to silk pro-
duction in the United States are
the large amount of hand labor re-
quired in caring for silkworms and
the expense of thl; reeling process
by which the cocoons are unwound
and the strands blended to form
threads.
