And there is no doubt that Donna has joined the angels in Heaven. » A . delightful youngster, with a (Uet personality, Donna was a ifllasure to anyone who came in contact with her. Neighbors and friends described her as a "perfect little mother." As she met her untimely demise, Donna was holding baby Linda on her lap in the front seat of the car. * ---Our heartfelt prayers now are with the grief-stricken mother, Mrs. Evelyn Harrison, that her life might be spared for the SJier two children who need her. n the shoulders of the young father rests the responsibility of caring for Dickie and Linda and comforting his wife. We know that the residents of our village will gather around this family in their time of need.

Since our community is small enough for personal contact with everyone, one finds it hard- to be objective by these tragedies. Bobby is a happy youngsters who finds pleasure in the wholesome things in life, such as playing ball and fishing. It seems an unmitigated sh^me that one of his greatest joys should be responsible for putting his sight in jeopardy. The young lad who was responsible for the unintentional mishap deserves cheering words of comfort, for he, too, is suffering. truly delightful day, sponsored by the Cullom-Knoll association.

SLLiNOiS BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY T'S as simple as this: Only two cars in all creation outsell Buick. And they are two of the wellknown smaller cars. So maybe it will pay you to ask how come Buick has zoomed to the No. 3 spot with such fast-selling company. Well, one answer is the beautiful and brawny Buick SPECIAL-you see pictured here--and the low price it carries. It's the biggest bundle of high-powered performance and high-fashion luxury ever offered in Buick's lowest-priced Series. And that means more people want it and can afford it, bccause it's priced only a few dollars more than its two smaller-car rivals -- even less than some models of those* very same cars. But the big answer comes-from a sure fact more folks have discovered: you get more pure automobile for your money in Buick than you get elsewhere. Here, you get the extra wallop of big new Buick power raised to a new high--and pouring in smooth whisper from a brandnew 322-cubic-inch V8 engine of true high compression. Here, you get the matchless buoyancy of Buick's great new ride -- the extra-safe feeling of Buick's new handling ease--the extra stretch-out comfort of Buick roominess-- the extra solidity and strength of Buick structure--the extra pride and prestige of Buick's new styling and dash. Here, too--and nowhere else--you can get the silk-smooth performance Imd flash-fast response of Buick's advanced new Variable Pitch Dynaflow*--the world's only transmission with the gassaving mileage and switch-pitch action of the modern airplane propeller. Ti lis week--this very day, if you wish -- you can sample all these Buick blessings to your heart's content and your pocket's joy.
