King City Yes, Chevrolet brings you a whole new outlook in low-cost motoring for 1955! It’s best symbolized, we think, by the sweeping expanse of windshield that widens your view of the road and lets you “see through” the corners for greater safety. Besides widening your view of the road, the Motoramic Chevrolet broadens the whole horizon of the low-priced car. It was built around the idea. that a car doesn’t have to be high-priced to look, ride and The car with the new idea! to be composed of all duly ap- pointed by council members of the King City Fire department and any others from the execu- ntive or members. The fire commissioner for King City is Alex Campbell. Fire Chief David Glass, Deputy Chief Harold Kirby, lst Captain Jack Walker, 2nd Captain Glen Urquhart. The entertainment committee for this year is Mr. David Glass. Mr. Bill Riddell and Mr. V. Doner. Mr. A. R. Hooper was elected secretary- treasurer for 1955.
