The International offices spon
sor liberal arts through annual
contests to bring out and develop
latent abilities of members. These
contests are conducted through
The Torch, a monthly sorority
publication that is used also to
convey unusual ideas and hobbies
from chapters on one side of the
continent to all others.
Aside from cultural pursuits,
the chapters greatest efforts tend
toward service. They assist with
community projects, purchase
hospital equipment as well as
wider projects, supported by the
entire membership. Beta Sigma
Phi is currently supporting the
work of two outstanding scientists
in Cancer Research at the Univer
sity of Colorado. Last year, $29,

Beta Sigma Phi presented a paper
on their findings to the Interna

This demonstration
showed me the way
to a better deal!
I’d been planning to buy a higher-priced car until
I found out all Chevrolet offered—
and how much I could save!
I
You’re “sitting pretty"
behind the wheel
, Take this Bel Air model. First
’ thing you’ll notice is the qual
ity of the interior. Rich-looking
: appointments. Roomy seats
with foam rubber cushions.
, Turn the key to start the en
gine and you’re ready to go.
i
| You can see all around
You look out and down
through a wide, curved, one
piece windshield. The pano
* ramie rear window and big
side windows provide a clear
view in all directions.
Biggest brakes for
smoother, easier stops
An easy nudge on the pedal
brings smooth, positive response
—right now! Chevrolet’s im
proved brakes are the largest
in the low-price field.
It’s heavier for
better roadability
You’re in for a pleasant sur
prise at the smooth, steady,
big-car ride of this new Chev
rolet. One reason is that, model
for model, Chevrolet will weigh
up to 200 pounds more than
the other low-priced cars.
You get greater getaway
with the new Powerglide*
A lot finer performance on a
lot less gas. That’s what you
get with the new Powerglide
automatic transmission. There’s
no more advanced automatic
transmission at any price.
!
I
You get more power
on less gas
That’s because Chevrolet’s two
great valve-in-head engines are
high-compression engines. In
Powerglide* models, you get
the most powerful engine in
Chevrolet’s field — the new
115-h.p. “Blue-Flame.” Gear
shift models offer the advanced
108-h.p “Thrift-King" engine.
And it's the
lowest-priced line
A demonstration will show you
that Chevrolet offers just about
everything you could want. Yet j
it’s the lowest-priced line in the
low-price field.
*Combination of Powerglide auto
matic transmission and 115-h.p.
“Blue-Flame” engine optional on j
“Two-Ten” and Bel Air models at
extra cost.
I
Let us demonstrate
all the advantages i
of buying a Chevrolet now!
