At a family reunion t the Bert Morris borne in MiH City

- he measured around the waist ... By holding; the stunt right
after dinner, the grottp raised $124)0 for a flower fond ....
, Mutt Morris had the I smallest waist. Some of the Digger girls
! turned as green as the Koot-aid when .Matt stepped., up and
saeasnred 29 . . . Erin a middle-sized mama said it made her
feel about like 30 cents.

Often they were flamboyant things, with gilt lettering and

Joryville Park . . The meeting was as spirited as a five-gaited
mare . . . Statements were made that Joryville, a gift of Mr. and
Mrs. Ed Jory, was too far (five miles) from the center of South
Salem population, that more land would have to be purchased
to make a suitable park, and that cost of (developing was too high

majority voted to switch horses in midstream and start a neigh

1 T idling speed, the engine of this 1953
X. Bukk is deceptrvely docile.
All you hear is a silken whisper, a kitten
purr, a smooth flow of air channeling
quietly through metal passageways.
Thenyou want to go. You nudge the
pedal. You go.
That's when you discover that you're,
sktmg behind an engine of electrifying
response
That's when you begin to know bow the
power of the first Fireball V8 can handle
getaway; cruising, bill-climbing.
That's when you learn what Buick's
highest-compression engine in fifty great
years can mean in spirited and soul
' satisfying road command.
It's an experience too wonderful to miss
the bossing of this brilliant new V8
Engine that powers every 1953 Buick
Super and Roadmastek.
So we cordially invite you to come in and
try it.
We cordially invite you to bold rein on
this truly advanced V8 the world's
first V8 with vertical valves, with T"
type intake manifold, with zero-power
loss muffler and the first standard
production American passenger-car
engine to reach 8.5 to l compression
ratio. . ,

Why not come in for a sampling?
That way you can also try the oth $r Bukk
gems like Twin-Turbine: Dynaflow
