Thanksgiving
THANKSGIVING DAY is peculiarly an
AMERICAN HOLIDAY.
■"    NO other Country except CANADA sets
apart this day to give thanks.   -
SINCE the Civil War it has become a national custom, a proclamation being issued
by the President and the time fixed on the
last Thursday of November.
IT is a day to remind us, or to avow anew
to be true to the great convictions which
moulded the lives of our New England forefathers, and to emulate their virtues.
. IT is an occasion on which love of Country should be stressed.
ON this day one should recall the deeds
of heroism of our f oref athrs.

^ Detroit, This Week.    -
Passing on to the motoring public
the benefits of economies arising out
of tremendous volume production,
the Chevrolet Motor Company introduces "The Outstanding Chevrolet of
Chevrolet History—a Six in the Price
Range of the Four."
In making this important announcement, W. S. Knudsen, president and general manager, points out
that the sensational public reception
accorded the car in recent years has
. enabled Chevrolet at this time to of-
, fer the added power, speed and
smoothness of six-cylinder performance at practically the same prices
that contributed so much to the
world-wide popularity of the four.
Preparations for the greatest year
in its history are now being made by
the Chevrolet Motor Company. Production of the new' car has been
started and the company's fifteen
giant factories across the country
will be turning out cars to be ship-
n-ped^to dealers hy "December 15. ■ Deliveries to the public will start January first.
In its' ne* offering Chevrolet has
retained the highly successful valve-
in-head principle. The motor is of
the high compression type with a
non-detonating head and-develops 32
per cent more power than its famous
predecessor; its acceleration is
measurably greater and its. speeS-
has been stepped up to satisfy maximum requirements. The piston displacement is 194 cubic inches.
Tests  have  shown  that, the  new
Chevrolet  engine will  operate with
an economy   averaging better   than
[ 20 miles to a gallon of gasoline.
!     The motor develops 46 horse power
'' at low engine speed and as a result
of the automatic lubrication  of  the
valve mechanism the motor is excep-
j tionally quiet throughout the entire
speed range.
j Seven models of passenger cars and
three commercial types comprise the
line. Included in the passenger car
line are five closed and two open
models. All bodies carry the famous
Fisher stamp of craftsmanship.
The commercial car line embraces
a new and larger Utility truck of
1% tons_ capacity, a newjight delivery chassis and'the Sedan Delivery.
.^Despite the score of advanced features, prices remain practically the
same. The passenger car range is
from $525 to $725, f.o.b., Flint. The
prices, according to models, are as
follows: "Roadster, $525;_ phaeton,
$525; coach, $595; coupe, $595; sedan,.
$675; sport cabriolet, $695; convertible landau, $725.
A special showing of the new models is being held in the auditorium of
the General ^Motors Building, Detroit,
November 24 to 29. First deliveries
to purchasers will start January 1st.
-Advance orders will be taken, and
in order to insure deliveries yearly in
the new year it is advisable to place
orders as soon as possible.     -.
The  new" Chevrolet,  which  makes
its debut this week and which promises to write a new chapter in motor
1 • car history, is in every sense a prov-
=; ed product.   Four years ago Chevro-
' let   engineers   began   their   research
. work, engineering, planning and General Motors proving ground testing.
Speed,      acceleration,      power     and
-- smoothness, to an unusual degree, are
' offered in the' new motor.    It devel-
* cps .32  per cent more horse power
' than its famous predecessor and has
an abundant source of reserve power
for' fast getaway, ■ heavy roads  and
. steep grades.   A contribution to the
exceptional quietness of the motor is
t the automatic lubrication of the entire rocker  arm mechanism  and  of
all valve  operating parts,  which in
addition are completely enclosed.
Another advanced feature is the
fuel pump which insures a positive
and uniform supply of gasoline to the
carburetor under all driving conditions
load or road grade.
There is a combination splash and
wick flow method of lubr* cation' with
the oil supplied- through an oil filter
at the bottom of the c.-ankcase by
means of a newly designed vane type
pump". There is an oil pressure
guage incorporated in the new instnk
nient panel.
The clutch is of the single plate
dry disc type and requires no lubrication. The steering gear is semi-
reversible of the . ball bearing full
worm and gear type. The new shaft
is solid, replacing the tubular type
formerly used. It- is mounted in a
bracket securely riveted to the frame.
The- beautiful 17-inch black finish
steering wheel has a rubber covered
spider. «■ :
Dependable non-locking four wheel
brakes with rear service brakes in
two self-aligning segments contribute
to the quiet, safe operating features
of the car. ;;
Long chrome vanadium shock absorber steel springs of the semi-elip-
tic type are one of the factors accounting for the easy riding qualities
of- the new car. The wheelbase is
107 inches.
Attractive new colors and a new
order of beauty in Fisher body design
characterizes the-ffcntire passenger car
line. The high flattened hood and
the gleaming chromium, radiator shell
supply the keynote of unusual smartness and grace.
Appointemnts are the richest and
most luxurious ever^offered by Chevrolet. The seats are wider and more
restful. The driver's seat in all closed models is easily adjustable, forward or back, %et feature recently introduced on a few~of the high-priced
cars. The redesigned dash carries an
attractive grouping of all control instruments indirectly lighted including the new temperature indicator.
Rich, long-wearing upholsteries and
specially designed Ternstedt hardware contribute to the environment
of distinction.
Added safety in night driving has
been accomplished through the use oi
a light control switch at the left of
the. clutch pedal. Instead.of dimming
the lights the same effect is attained
by changing the angle of the new
two-beam head lamps by pressing the
floor button with the foot.
. Both open" cars have curtains that
open with the doors, and a full vision
windshield with weather strip and
wiper.
A simple but veryspretty wedding
was solemnized Tuesday, November
27 at 4:00 o'clock, at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Buehler. when
their daughter, Miss Marguerite, was
united in marriage with Raymond
Burmeister of Bridgewater township.
Preceding the ceremony the bride's
cousin, Mae Schroen, sang "At
Dawning."' The bridal party entered the room to the strains of Lohengrin's Wedding- March, which was
played by the bride's cousin, Clara
Schroen. The bridal party stood under an arch decorated in yellow and
whiie before a bank of ferns and
chysanthemums. ,
The ringbearer, Leonard Burmeister, and the flower girl, Alice Burmeister, nephew and niece of tne
groom, were dressed in white. The
bride, having entered on the arm of
her fatherF was beautifully gowned
in white crepe trimmed with beads
and rhinestones. Her long tulle veil
was held in place with a wreath of
orange blossoms. Her boquet -was
composed of white roses.
Miss Lucile Buehler, sister of the
bride, acted as maid of honor and
was dressed in a gown of chin-chin
blue georgette trimmed with cream
lace and rhinestones and carried pink
roses. The groom was attended by
Roland Bredernitz as best man.
Only immediate relatives witnessed
the ceremony. After congratulations
were extended a three-course dinner
was served by the Misses Clara Van-
derpoele and Irene Burmeister, The
dining room -was attractively decorated in yellow and white. A beautiful
wedding cake ornamented with white
doves also adorned the table.- Lighted tapers added to the decorations.
The bride is a graduate of Saline
High school, attended Michigan State
Normal college at "Ypsilanti "and
taught school several years in the vicinity of Saline. The groom is a
popular young, farmer near Bridge-
water. They have the best wishes of

Wells, star of the Universal western
feature, "The Crimson Canyon,"
which comes to the Liberty theatre
for Saturday and Sunday, is called
upon to do nothing .on the screen he
has not done in real life.
Although a university man, Wells
spent his early youth and still spends-
his vacations on the Montana ranch
owned by his family.
Wells tells an interesting story o'
His first adventure out into the world
alone. It happened when the popular
star was eight years old.
He had often seen the cowboys on
the Tanch leave for the spring and
fall roundup, be gone for several
weeks, and then return as thougfh
nothing had happened.
One day young Ted decdied to hold
a- roundup of his own. He saddled
his favorite horse,, "Scotty," raided
the kitchen for all available food
procured some blankets and set out
to hold his roundup.  ?
Several days passed and no word
was heard from 'Ted, though his parents had had the ranch hands searching frantically.- After a week had
passed Ted was brought home by a
roving band of Indians who had
chanced upon the boy in the Montr-"•
hills, quite lost. Wells declares that
after a session in one of the barar
with his irate father,'he held all fu-
'ture roundups in the ranch corral.

THE PURPOSE OF PARENT-
TEACHER ASSOCIATIONS
Is NOT to raise children easier, but
to raise them better.
Is NOT to make money, but to
make lives, .,.,,.....
Is NOT to criticize^ the" home, but
to raise the standard.
Is NOT to ignore poor schools, but
secure better ones.
Is NOT to operate schools, but to
cooperate with them.
Is NOT to find fault, but to find
facts.
Is NOT to- make every child a
prodigy, but to give him a chance.
Parent-Teacher associations offer a
meeting ground where parents and
teachers may develop a better understanding of the needs of children;
study the conditions which are a
menace to children; learn to study
and work together for better conditions; pool their success and-failures
in dealing with children; "make them-,
selves "fit for children to live with;"
stimulate a clear thinking public
opinion about the responsibilities of
adults to children.—Exchange.
