e Buick Special--A Standout fur 1955 X-J ' THE McHEWRY Stdrm Window Hazard Remciv -r? Protectiim, Mr. Farmet! SLEEK NEW STYLING and record-high horsepower make the Buick Special four-door sedan for 1955 a standout in the lower priced fields Its V-8 power plant has been increased to an all-time high of 188 horsepower which, with Bnick's new Vanable Pitch Dynaflow transmission, gives the Special performance and maneuverability unequalled by any automobile in its field. Setting a new styling trend are a wide-screen grille and a roll-edge hamper with sturdy dual wing guards. For the first time, Buick's choice selection of power assists-,-- power brakes, power steering, window lifts add front seat adjustment--are available as optional equipment on the Special. Here's a new! idea: that takes most of the hazard out tfce semi-annual routine of putti&g »p and taking down storih windows. It was sent to the University of Illinois by Rev. W. Harvey Young, Thawville, 111. He and Mrs. Young work as partners in the project. Mr. Young put a heavy scve^r hook in the middle of each upj&r window frame and a heavy 'screw eye in'the middle of each upper storm window sash. Then . he attached a short hook to the end of a %-inch rope that fa long enough to reach the top .of: the window and back to the ground. To put up a window, Mr. Young climbs the ladder which he has put beside the window and puts the rope over the hook in the middle of the uppei* window0 frame. Then he drops the hook on the end of .the • rope to Mrs. Young, who hooks it to the screw eye on the storm window,. She holds the other fend of the rope tight while . her husband lifts the storm window by the • rope until he can easily reach it with his hands. When the window is high enough, it drops easily into placex on its hangers. Mr. Young closes the. window and unhpolis the rope. When it comes to taking - the window down, he uses the same method. Mr. Young says, "We have found that this takes practically all of the hazard out of the storm window business." Saturday, Nov. 27, the livestock and crops judging contests are scheduled.
