UNITED PROTESTANT
CHURCH PLANS
LENTEN SERVICES
The seven last words of Christ
will be the topics of sermons de
livered by Rev. Brian Cleworth
at the United Protestant Church
during Lent. On Sunday morn
ing, February 20, the first ser
mon will be delivered, entitled,
“Forgiveness”.
The season of lent has always
been recognized as a period of
spiritual preparation for Easter,
and a denial of man’s dependence
upon the material aspect of life,
Rev. Cleworth reminded this
week. It is therefore fitting that
we should use this period to ex
amine our faith, the effect Chris
tianity has had upon us in the
past and what it must mean to us
in the future. This is a time to
rededicate ourselves to a faith
and to live in such a way as to
daily strengthen that faith. With
such a dedication, Easter will
have for us a much fuller mean
ing, he pointed out.
gue writes the local shooters that
next year they are going to have
to put them in a AAAA cJass or
something, only kidding of cour
se, they explained. However, that
the local shooters are meeting
and taking nearly all competition,
speaks for itself.
In the Illowa Rifle Association
Gallery League, the Matanuska
Valley Sportsmen are leading the
race in the third match with Tan
ana Valley Sportsmen only three
points behind and the Chugach
Rod and Cun club only 46 points
behind. Chugach is in fifth place.
This match is being shot in com
petition with 24 clubs.

Builf by the world’s
greatest builder of V-8’s
Ford has built more V-8 engines than all other manufacturers
combined ... over 14,000,000! And this tremendous V-8 experi
ence has enabled Ford in ’55 to turn out in quantity the finest
V-8’s in the low-price field. So why wait? You can get a proved
Ford V-8 . . . and start enjoying its brilliant new performance,
and new-car dependability right now!
- -.—
Enjoy Ford's new
Trigger-Torque Power
For ’55, Ford offers the brilliant-per
forming new Y-block V-8 and the even
more powerful Y-block Special V-8. Both
deliver Trigger-Torque power, which
means you get the power you want when
you want it, throughout the entire driving
range of your car. With new Trigger
Torque Power you can have split-second
start* . . . faster passing ability for a
greater feeling of security . . . topnotch
response at all speeds. And with Ford’s
b*’ "h-compression, low-friction design and
deep-block construction, you can enjoy
smooth performance and long engine life.
Relax in the smooth comfort
of new Angle-Poised Ride
Ball-Joint Front Suspension, which
Ford introduced in its field last year, has
proved itself over billions of miles. For
’55 it is still better. Springs are set at an
angle to absorb shock from the front as
well as straight up. This provides delicate
responsiveness to cushion tiny bumps as
well as husky “muscle” to flatten big bumps.
Take your pick from 16
brilliant new Ford Models
This year, you get Thunderbird-inspired
styling in any Ford you choose. And
there’s a variety of excitingly new single
and two-tone body colors with charmingly
color-keyed Luxury Lounge Interiors.
Come in for a Trigger-Torque Test Drive!
