Be sure to test out the phenomenal effect of "variable pitch propellers’ 1 In Dynaflow Drive*! MAYBE -among the upcoming crop of new 1955 modelsthere’s another car with an advance that can hold a candle to thia one. But we doubt it. We doubt it because nowhere-among the rumors of what’s cooking in automotive laboratories -is there anything to compare with what’s actually happened at Buick. It all started with the fact that modem air liners get two big advantages because they can change the pitch of their propellers. First, they get off the ground hundreds of feet sooner than they used to. . , Second, they can stretch their gasoline by setting propeller blades at just the right “pitch” for cruising.

for Sunday afternoon at t o'clock at Faith tabernacle. Fort Wayne. The Rev. James R. Meadows, of Decatur, founder of the group, will preside at the rally and IJlr. and Mrs. Dwight Darr will have charge of the music. The public is invited.

So Buick engineers asked themselves—“lf you can do it with air, why can’t you do it with oil —the oil inside a Dynaflow Drive?” And to make a long story short — they could, and they did. st They designed and engineered the propeller-like blades inside the “stator” of a Dynaflow Drive so they can change their pitch as much as 75 degrees. That provides one setting for more-

miles -per-gallon, and another for an instant safety-surge of power when it’s needed. All you have todois push the accelerator pedal down to the last half-inch

New Cupola In Use 0 , At Decatur Casting To Eliminate Much Os Smoke At Plant With the pouring of iron at the Decatur Casting company last week a new cupola was used for the first time. This new cupola is equipped with mechanical charging and automatic blast control and is designed to speed up and .give better control of the molten iron used in the thousands of "Decatur Quality Castings" made each day at the casting company. Os special interest is the special washing system which has been built in the top of the cupola, and which will eliminate much of the smoke, thus benefiting the surrounding community which is . especially important in view of the new school which is soon to be erected near the plant. The old cupola which is being replaced was installed in the foundry in June of and the first iron was poured on June 29. 1920. Since that time the Decatur Casting company has grown by adding a new wing to the foundry, and the installation of new machines to eliminate much of the harder work connected with the old type foundries. The installation of the cupola is the first step in a long range program to insure the best quality castings with a positive control of analysis and a better service to the customer. „ Henry Bromer, plant manager, in following the original policy laid down by the founders of the Decatur Casting company, said that every effort has been made to make the company the safest and most desirable place in Decatur to work, and that through the years much modern work saving equipment has been installed aimed at bettering the health and welfare of the employes. • Democrat Want Ads Bring Results

beyond the full throttle position — ar.d a-it'ay you io! ' Os course, there’s a lot more to make a visit to our showrooms the “must” of the new-car year. There’s a step-up in styling as sensational as the step-up ia power. And the step-up in horsepower is this: 236 in the Roadmasper, Super and Century-188 in the low-priced SPECIAL.

Pay-off on progress! Buicks today go o lot farther on a gallon of gas, thanks to constant improvement in Dynaflow and in engine design. Even the new 236-hp Roadmaster averages 4 8 more miles per gallon than v Buicks of six years ago.

Above Normal Rain, Temperatures Seen LAFAYETTE, Ind., (INS) — James Newman, Purdue University agronomist, predicted today that Hoosiers can expect above normal rainfall and temperatures until the middle of December. Little if any snow should fall during the period, and temperatures should average 38 degrees in northern Indiana, four degrees above normal, 40 degrees in central Indiana, also four degrees above normal, and 45 degrdes in southern Indiana, five degrees above normal. favoTplan to (Continued fr<wn Page Oas) state system is to be completed. The Clay committee has been specifically charged with working out plans to finance the federal end of a new 50 billion dollar road program—the size of the job suggested by Mr. Eisenhower to the nation's governors several months ago. The committee has found that at the present rate of construction, $46,800,000,000 wbuld be spent on construction and resurfacing highways and streets in the next ten years. However, actual needs now foreseen would cost $101,300,000.000. This calls for raising an additional $54,500,000,000 —not including the federal contribution of nearly one billion dollars a year as it is doing now. Officials say that the federal government should assume about

half of this extra amount—some j 17 billions. The states and cities would have to find ways of raising the other half — much of which | wpuld be for city streets.

The first federal objective is completion of an extensive interstate system—regarded as essential for national defense. Such a highway network of 40,000 miles has been authorized, but up to now only 2,200 miles have been built to adequate standards. j . Under the present federal-state fund matching system, officiate estimate it would require 50 years to complete the 40,000 miles. Diversion of federal gas and oil revenues could double the federal contribution, experts say, but still unanswered is how the states and cities can finance their extra share. Art Exhibit Here On Next Thursday Decatur artiets who plan to enter the art exhibit tc be sponsored Thursday by the Decatur high school art club are reminded to contact Mies Kathryn Kauffman no later than Tuesday.
