New Buick Today
Centers Attention

The attention OF automobile cir
cles will be centered today on
new Buick. sixcylinder car on an
entirely new chassis, and featuring
eight body models. Mechanically it
Is essentially the same as the
present Buick car, and Is capable
of a speed of 20 miles per hour.
The new six is designated the
STANDARD Six and has a wheel
base of HAS inches. a valve in
head engine similar to the engine
now in use in the other models,
four-wheel brakes, and low pressure
tires.
The chassis shows advanced ideas
in numerous new details of
simplicity and accessibility. Among
the body models will be a f1ve-pas-
senger touring; the same with an
enclosed body and heater; two
passenger roadster; the same with
closed top and heater; five
passenger double service sedan; a
two passenger double service coupe;
ve-passenger sedan: and a four
passenger coupe. The permanent
tops which can be obtained with the
open models are of glass and are
fitted tightly TO the tonneau.
The engine is valve In head type
with automatic fabrication through
out and with the cylinder head re-
movable. The clutch and trans
mission form integral parts of the
engine which is suspended at three
points from the main frame. The
crank shaft is n drop forging. extra
heavy and balanced with four large
bearings. The pistons and connect
ing rods are properly weighted and
carefully manufactured. Large valves
are operated by noiseless, adjustable
push rods through rocker arms
which are automatically fabricated
from the engine. This motor pro-
duces fifty actual break horsepower.

Miss Grace l.. Pennock OF Cam
bridge, Mass, will this month assume
the duties Of Home Demonstration
agent Of the Extension Service and
the Kennebec Farm Bureau. Miss
Pennock takes the place of Miss Hell
en- l.. Clark, resigned, who leaves
soon for California, where she will
make her home.
Miss Pennock liz a native New
Highlander and comes from stock
that was born and bred in New Eng
land for generations. She Is a ma
tive of Ware, Mass, but lived in Yer
mont on farm from the time she
was IL years old until she was in
college.
The schooling Of her early years
was partly under the direction Of her
father, the Rev. B. w. Pennock, who
was for many years Congregational
minister. and for years was librar-
ford, Mass. When this schooling was
completed she entered Middlebury
College, at Middlebury, VT. After
two years there she transferred to
Boston University where she gradu-
ated in 1912 with the Bachelors de-
gree.
After graduation her work lay
partly in school teaching and partly
in business. During this period she
was for time teacher of a country
school, then teacher in D, high school.
Miss Pennock then returned to her
studies, taking up special training in
home economics at the University of
New Hampshire. specia LIKING in nu-
triton and biological chemistry.
With this she took courses in other
subjects that are at the foundation
OF the work Of a woman county
agent. Back Of this, it should be
said, were years Of good, hard, prac-
tical work at home under mother
and father who considered 1t good
judgment to have their children do a
full share in home duties. Miss PEN
mock knows well what it means to
keep a farm home going and in good
order, to do hard farm work. to help
with the haying, take care of chick
ems, to drive to town for grain on
zero winter day. to weed garden. to
help pick apples in the fall, and in
short, to do the tasks that fan to a
woman on farm.
Miss PennooS was not born in
Maine. but, as she says that was not
her fault. She likes our state, our
county, and our farms. There Is no
finer county in all New England. in
her opinion. She looks forward to
meeting the people of the county,
and to being counted one OF them.
