Oxryaler V-8 Saratoga Sadan, gmoline
economy winner in Clams ~F". Entered 'and
driven m the 1952 MobiMt Gas Economy Hun
by Ohryeler Dealer Mel AMtury, HoUyumod. It
^ was one *>f three ChryeUrHmePower V-&e to win
in their respective claeeem.
180 hp CHRYSLER ?8 FIRST
IN 3 CLASSES INE(MOMVM!
Here is truly dramatic proof that Chrysler's
great new FirePower 180 HP V-8 engine design
sets an entirely new standard of efficiency
among American passenger car engines!
In this annual economy test, rigidly super
vised, and limited strictly to stock car entrants,
cars competing are divided, by price and size,
into 11 standard classes. The route, from Los
Angeles to Sun Valley, covered 1,415 miles of
every possible kind of driving. Average speed
for all cars was just under 41 miles per hour.
And in 3 of the 11 classes, the Chrysler V-8
engine was best for gasoline mileage.
In Class "F", this magnificent new engine
won first place for a Saratoga 6-passenger
sedan (125^-inch wheelbase, 4010 pounds).
In Class "H", it won first honors for a Saratoga
model 8-passenger sedan (139^-inch wheel
base, 4510 pounds). And in the top price and
size, Class "I", it was again first, in a Chrysler
Crown Imperial Sedan (145^-inch wheel base,
6360 pounds).
To travel these substantial cars at this speed
under these conditions gives additional proof,
we believe, that here in the FirePower V-8
engine is the finest and most efficient engine
ever put into an American passenger carl
WE INVITE YOU TO DRIVE

? Others' Opinions
? Continued From Page Two
How can we-be spiritually equipped to gain allies and to dis
arm foes?
Has the United States the answer to men's yearnings as it
seems to have in the early days of the republic? Can it draw
all men unto the principles that we exemplify?
Our democracy is a great spiritual heritage even mare than
it is a political doctrine. It was the religious concept that
every man is precious in the sight of God that led the
Founding Fathers- to declare in the Declaration of Independ
ence that all men are created equal; and it was because Jesus J
said, "I came that ye might have life and have it more abund
antly," that, they speke of unalienable rights to life, liberty,
and the pursuit of happiness.
What we Americans wanted for ourselves in 1776 is what all |
the peoples of the earth are rising to claim today. We should
try to understand that fierce nationalism and that demanded
for respect and happiness.
General Omar Bradley has said: "We have too many men of J
science, too few men of God. We have grasped the mystery of
the atom and rejected the Sermon on the Mount . . . Ours is a
world of nuclear giants and ethical infants."
In the Sermon on the Mount we are given the rules by
which to live.
Blessed are the poor in spirit. Our spirit is too often the
spirit of personal pride, self-assertion, self-aggrandizement,
unwillingness to learn.
Blessed are the meek. This does not mean that servility
brings happiness, but it does advise receptivity. One who is
meek is humble toward God and gives obedience to God's laws.
Edison the scientist, Lincoln the statesman, and Emerson the
metaphysician were meek, ready to learn the laws under which
they operated. Thus they received authority and achieved pow
er. Ghengis Khan, Napoleon, and Hitler tried to create their
own law. They flourished awhile but "Be not deceived; God
is not mocked," they did not inherit the earth. Are we Ameri
cans failing to find the ethical law that will ensure our per
petuity? Professor Arnold Toynbee in his "Study of History"
says that fourteen civilizations have appeared and disappeared.
Will our civilization live on? Or do we "ethical infants" know
less about living than about killing?
Blessed we they which hunger and thirst after righteous
ness; for they shall be filled. There it is again; A genuine
yearning for the truth is what is recommended. Blessed are the
merciful, Blessed are the pure in heart, continue the rules.
Thus the Master taught, and He drew all men unto Him.
The multitudes did not follow Him for the loaves and fishes,
and neither will material help alone draw men unto us in this
crisis in our civilization. The hopes of mankind are for per
sonal dignity and human freedom. Insofar as we record re
spect to the Egyptian, the Iranian, the Indian, and the China
man and the Russian, insofar as we cease to patronize and
instead seek to understand, can we hope to be blessed.
If Christ were born in the United States in this area and
went about His Father's business here, would he find us spirit
ually fortified to inherit the earth? Or would He have to say,
"Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do?"
Says Charles Malik, Minister to the United States from the
Lebanon: "The future belongs to the country and people who,
. . . seeking understanding in good will, humble before, because
genuinely respectful of others, and .refusing to have pleasure as
its dominant quest, is able to call forth from its own inner
spiritual resources sufficient strength and wisdom and vision
with which to embrace the whole world, in love and in truth.
The only question is: Which is that country and who is that
people?" ? The South Carolina Clubwoman.
