Construction Begins
On New Church in
Sutton Community
Construction of the new Sut
ton Community Church, located
at Mile 61te, Glenn Highway,
was started on May 20, according
to Rev. A. B. Compton. When
completed the church will mea
sure 28- by 48-ifeet and will seat
approximately 125 persons. It is
being constructed in the McPher
sons Subdivision on a site donated
by James McPherson and will be
a semi-basement type structure
of cement block with glasesd-in
front of double windows.
The Sutton Community Church
was started about five years ago
by the Rev. George Geiwitz who
was then pastor of the Church of
God in Palmer. For over a year
Sunday School services were
held by Rev. Geiwitz in a small
wooden building owned by the
Alaska Railroad. The small
building, which seats about 50
persons, was later given to the
Church by the ARR. In Septem
ber of 1951 Rev. Compton and his
family moved to the Valley and
conducted services at Sutton. In
March of the following year reg
ular Sunday morning services
were started.
The church is not supported
by any missionary board and
funds for the construction of the
new church have been raised by
members and friends of the
church, through the Dorcus Club
and Sunday service collections.
Every cent above meager neces
sities, has been saved toward the
building fund, Rev. Compton said.
“We have less than S3,200 to
begin building our new church”,
Rev. Compton said this wreek.
“We are not certain we will be
able to complete the building at
this time but hope to be able to
get the rounghed-in construction
done. We will not be able to do
electrical, plumbing and finish
ing work on these funds in spite
of volunteer labor on the build
ing,” he said.
Volunteers assisting Rev.
Compton in the construction are
Kenneth Killian, Elwood Killian
and several boys of the vSunday
School. Rev. Wesley Lancaster of
the Church of God donated a
day’s labor during the pouring of
the footings and Jim Harris of
Eska donated the hauling of ce
ment blocks from the Butte.
Rev. Compton has invited the
public to stop by and see the
progress being made on the com
munity church. Visitors will find
an interest also in viewing three
authentic Indian graves located
on the Church property. The lit
tle houses erected over the
graves have recently been re
painted and will remain on the
church property.
The Board of Church Exten
sion of the Church of God, of
which both Rev. Geiwitz and
Rev. Compton are associates, are
holding the deed to the new
church property in trust, until
the church itself js duly organiz
ed to transact business for itself.

No pillar or post
for this wide-open beauty
ffb ihe new kind ofhardtop
The 4-Door Riviera. I
■*bj
THERE seems to be some confusion about
what a hardtop really is, and we’d like
to set the matter straight.
A hardtop is a car that looks like a Convert
ible with the top up-but has a solid steel
roof overhead -and no center posts in the
side window areas.
Up until just recently, it could be built in
volume only with two doors not more
because it would take wholly new struc
tural principles to hinge another set of
doors without floor-to-roof center posts.
But Buick came up with those new struc
tural principles and is now building—in
volume —hardtops w ith four doors.
You see one pictured here. It’s the
4-Door Riviera. And it’s taking the country
by storm . . .
Because here, at long last, is an automobile
with the sleek and sporty styling of a true
hardtop-but with separate doors for rear
seat passengers, plus the added room of a full
size Buick Sedan.
On top of that, this beauty is all Buick -
with the buoyant ride of Buick’s all-coil
springing —the walloping might of Buick’s
record-high V8 power - the whip-quick
getaway and sizable gas savings of Buick’s
spectacular Variable Pitch Dynaflow.*
And it’s available in Buick’s two lowest
priced Series — the budget-tagged 188-hp
SPECIAL, and the high-performance 236-hp
CENTURY, illustrated here.
Come visit us for a first-hand meeting with
the 4-Door Riviera —and see how quickly
and how easily the last word in automobiles
can be yours.
*Dynaflotv Drive is standard on Roadmaster, optional at
extra cost on other Series.
