Meet Ford’s new Pinto. The little carefree car. rv s
If nou havfthe questions, Pinto has the answers. Q. What do you mean, "carefree'*? A. Pinto’s designed to free you from tar cares, big and little. Cares about high prices and big gas bills. Cares about parking. Cares about service and reliability. Power and stability. Quiet and roominess. Q. You say Pinto is little. How little? A. Pinto is only 3 inches longer than VW. But its turning circle is actually a little less, so Pinto can slip easily into tight parking spaces. ■= Q. And inside? A. Pinto gives you more interior roominess overall than Volkswagen. And getting in and out is easier because Pinto’s doors are a good half-foot wider. Q. What about price? A. Pinto is priced like the little economy imports, too. Q. What about power? A. Pinto delivers 75 horsepower and averages over 25 miles per gallon in simulated city suburban driving. The engine is front-mounted and exceptionally quiet for a car in this class. Pinto is the only American economy car equipped with a 4speed, fully synchronized transmisI sion at no extra cost.

entry’ in the industry in this increasingly important market,” he said Pinto sports the flair and style of its stablemates — Mustang and Maverick — while targeting in directly on the size and economy characteristics of the leading imported cars Smallest of the domestic subcompacts.

More than most imports offer—at prices economy-car buyers can afford. Q. Reliability? A. Pinto’s engine has already logged 50 million owner-driven miles. And the strength of some of Pinto’s parts makes ordinary little economy cars look puny by comparison. Parts like the starter motor, ball joints, rear wheel bearings are heavy duty. Craftsmanship? Pinto is the only American car with hand-matched transmission gears. Q. What’s Pinto like out on the roayi? A. Pinto has a wider stance than any economy import, for better stability in turns and gusty crosswinds. For more road and more

Christian Science LessonSermon For Sunday Is ‘Substance’ Standards for judging the true value and substantiality of the things mankind desires are set forth in the Lesson-Sermon on “Substance” to be read in all Christian Science churches on Sunday, Sept. 13. One of the Bible quotations is from Paul’s letter to Timothy, in which he wrote, “Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the Living God. who giveth us richly all things to enjoy.” A citation from Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, reads: “To himself, mortal and material man seems to be substance, but his sense of substance involves error and therefore is material, temporal. ©n the other hand, the immortdl, spiritual man is really substantial, and reflects the eternal substance, or Spirit, which mortals hope for. He reflects the divine, which constitutes the only real and eternal entity.” Revival Begins Monday At First Brethren Church Spiritual and bodily refreshments are being provided at the First Brethren Church of Milford beginning Monday. Sept. 14. at 7:30 p.m. and continuing through Sunday. Sept. 20. with no services Saturday evening. While persons enjoy Milford Days the church invites them to rest their bodies and refresh their spirits as they hear Rev. Kenneth Howard, pastor of the Peru Brethren church bring refreshing, challenging messages from the Word of God. The church urges all to attend as you are, dress is not important. A hearty welcome awaits all. Hap Hossler of Nappanee will be leading the song service.

precise handling, Pinto has rack & pinion steering—like Porsche and Jaguar—something you won’t find on any other American car. Q. Tell me about service. A. Pinto is so simple you can do much of the maintenance yourself, if you like. The Owner’s Manual shows you how. And Pinto’s free Do-It-Yourself Key helps you perform minor service functions. Q. Suppose I don’t service Pinto myself? A. You still save when your Ford Dealer does it. For example, Pipto needs an oil change half as often as the leading import. And a chassis lube only one-sixth as often. , Q. Sounds great —where can I testdrive Pinto? A. Your nearest Ford Dealer. And if you have any more questions, he can answer them.
