At largely attended and very
harmonious business meeting the
members of the Winter Street Free
Baptist church at their annual meet
ing voted to call Rev. II. A. Clark to
become their minister for another
year with a very substantial i'll
crease in his salary. The meeting
was called to order by the clerk, and
l.. G. Chapman was chosen as mod
orator. The usual routine of re-
ports were read, and the matter Of
changing the heating system of the
entire plant was discussed and a.
committee appointed to investigate
and report the various methods of
heating a public building, and on
this report the church will decide
which system will be installed. That
the present one was insufficient was
agreed to. The purchase of new
hymn books was discussed, and the
matter placed in the hands of the
music committee to investigate and
report later. Delegates and alter
mates were elected to the South
Kennebec United Baptist Associa-
ton, and the State Convention.
The following fofficers were elected
for the ensuing year: Pastor, Rev.
II. A, Clark; clerk. Ralph Potter (the
clerk for the past seven years, r. A.

BUCKS FOR 1927 n
NOW ON DISPLAY
New Standard in Looks
and Performance
T Claimed. :

On August first the Buick Mo-
Tor Company introduced its new
models for 1927.
Many features never before
found in cars Of its price class are
included in the new Bucks. and
several important engineering de-
velopments are introduced as be-
ing exclusive Buick features.
Chief among these is the Buick
valve-in-h head engine, which il
said to be absolutely without vi
bration periods and very silent at
an speeds. This result is obtained,
Buick engineers say, through q
combination Of counter-balanced
crankshaft and torsion balancer,
with light, cast iron pistons and a
heavy dywheel.
A new crankcase ventilator and
thermostatic water control pre-
vent crankcase dilution and make
a complete change Of oil neces-
sary only four times year.
Silence and the elimination Of
closed car rumble are also claimed
for these cars. These results come
from rubber engine mountings at
all three points Of suspension, a
silent transmission and rear axle.
and a muffler and exhaust system
which eliminates unpleasant noise.
Among the many attractive fea-
lures of the new Bucks are ball
anced wheels, which prevent wheel
bobbing and chatter and aids in
smooth riding.
=, Upholstery and trim Is Of the
best in all models, mohair plush
being used in the closed cars and
genuine Spanish leather in the
open models. New color combina-
tons are in Duco. Tires and rims
are jet black, adding much to the
appearance Of the cars. Attrac-
tive lines and several entirely new
models feature the line. Prices
are no higher, in spite Of the many
improvements,

New Paige Models
Quickly Win Favor

The Paige entries in the mid sum-
mer showing of new models have al
, ready attained SO great a popularity
that one Of them, the u.s. Inch wheel
base brougham, leads the entire line
in the factory's production. accord
ing to reports received from the
Paige-Detroit factory by Harry T.
Jose, local dealer. The other new
model, the cabriolet. although the
highest priced car made by Paige, is
ahead of some of the more conven-
tional models in sales volume.
Paige got a flying start this year
with new models" remarked Mr..
Jose, having presented these cars
some time before the usual season
for new-Car announcements. Both
the brougham and the cabriolet, al
though appealing to widely diff
ferent tastes and purses, scored i'm
mediate successes.
IN the brougham. with it's 115-
inch wheelbase, the factory engineers
have combined the full power of the
Paige engine (the same power plant
that Is used in the larger models)
with chassis noteworthy for ease
of handling and a body of unusual
spaciousness, and established a new
low record in Paige selling prices.
"On the other hand, the cabriolet
Is the costliest car of the Paige
line the engineers having mounted on

Whippet Shows Unusual Room

A study Of the 20 important body
dimensions Of the sedan type of body
in the light car field shows that the
new Overland Whippet is larger, in
seven dimensions, than any other Sc
dan in its size class, the equal in
5 dimentions and smaller in 10, two
Of these ten being the height Of the
I seats from the floor, giving the
Whippet the advantage of low seats,
one being the width of the body at
the arch bar in front, giving an ac-
ceptable grace of body line, one be-
ing the height of the waist line from
the frame, giving the low appear
ance which is a pleasing asset and
the others being minor dimensions
which have no reference to seating
comfort or riding ease.
The dimensions in which the Whip
pet exceeds any other sedan in light
car class are interesting.
The total length inside the body,
from dash to the back body panel
is conspicuously longer than that Of
any other light sedan. This accounts
for the striking leg room in both the
front and rear seats. It Is accom-
plished by the novel construction Of
the dash which curves outward I'M
der the hood adding a full six inches
The depth Of the front seat is
another dimension in which the
Whippet exceeds any sedan in its
size class.
The rear compartment is inches
deeper than that Of any other light
car sedan model affording the same
amount of room in the rear compart-
ment that is found in the average
light six. The rear seat Is also 2
inches wider in overall dimensions.
Through a unique and exclusive
design of the steering column, it Is
possible to alter the distance between
the edge Of the front seat and the
low point on the rim Of the steering
wheel by three inches.
Head room is also marked fea-
ture of this body. A man of average
height can easily look over the top
of the car when 1t Is standing at
the curb, yet a six foot man can sit
in the front seat and have to stretch
his legs to touch the dash, while he
has ample room overhead to permit
riding all day without feeling that
his head is going to touch the inside
of the roof. A tall man. wearing the
| conventional type Of hat, has about
three inches between the top Of his
hat and the roof.
