This is the Ford Fairlanes new Challenger “260* V-8.
'There's no other P& like it. It’s the latest in a series of Ford V-8 triumphs
that started back hi 1932 when Ford introduced the world’s first popular
priced V-8. Today-30 years and 30 million V-B’s later—the Challenger
“260” adds new fuel to the hottest performance record in V-8 history. It
gives you all the time-tested toughness of iron—with a lightness and com
pactness iron never had before. A muscular 161 lip, this new Challenger
“260” V-8 is all snap, sparkle and smoothness. It runs on regular, yet gives
you better gas mileage than any standard-size 6-cylinder car. Price it and
you’re in for a surprise—a Fairlane V-8 carries a smaller price tag than some
compact Sixes. And, of course, a Fairlane gives you big-car room and fine
car quality you’ll find in no other car anywhere near Fairlane’s amazing
low price. There’s never been a buy like Fairlane because there’s never
been a car like Fairlane; that’s why this all-new car from Ford is now out
selling every other “new-size” car!

theme “What Will You Do With
Your Life?”, Mr. Head selected
the life of Solomon to illustrate
his points. Reminding his lis
teners that everyone seeks hap
piness in life, he pointed out
that Solomon sought it unsuc
cessfully in luxury, learning,
liquor, and lusts, before he
finally found it “in the Lord”.
He urged them to open their
hearts literally that Christ
might use them according to His
Will.
An anticipated highlight of
the evening was the crowning
of the King and Queen to reign
during the coming year. These
were selected by secret ballot
on the basis of their character,
devotion to the church and its
activities, and their sincerity as
Christians. Miss Bobbie Asbell
and Joe Norwood were so nam
ed by Mrs. Hubert Elkins, Su
perintendent of the Intermedi

Alton Freeman. King and
Queen, respectively, who were
crowned a year ago, enacted
the coronation.
