...lost the oval hole in the grille. Chrysler's Plymouth hit the showrooms with a new unitized-frame construction for its 24 models, pronounced tail fins, completely new body styling. Among the year's most unusual new models was Willys Motors' new four-cylinder Jeep Surrey, which has a brightly painted body, seats in candy-striped colors that match a vinyl-covered fringed top. The Surrey, priced at $1,650, is aimed chiefly at resort and vacation centers. Checker Motors Corp. this week brought out the Superba, a family version of its Checker taxi, with wide doors...
...years, incense hung heavy in the air of St. Andrew's Mission Church in the little English township of Carshalton, Surrey. Candles cast a golden glow in the churchly dark, and High Mass was celebrated without a flaw in the ritual of the Roman Catholic Church. There was one slight flaw, however.

Next day Harris tried to retract his resignation, but the bishop would hear no more of it. Going down to Surrey last week, he locked the doors of St. Andrew's and called a meeting of 120 parish leaders in the parish mother church, All Saints.

Officials of a British post office in Farnham, Surrey, disclosed that months have passed since their most famous old-age pensioner dropped by to collect his weekly government check (basic pension: $7).

Instead, with his memoirs (TIME, Nov. 3) selling handsomely (some 200,000 copies so far) and his "half pay" as an old soldier, Monty doubtless decided that the trip to the post office is no longer worthwhile: pension checks are reduced in accordance with the pensioner's outside income...
...still manage to draw from their swains such modish endearments of the British '20s as a "tenderly" spoken "old blighter." Wodehouse heroes are often golfers, but they play upon courses which seem to be suspended in mid-Atlantic, uncertain whether to nationalize in yesterday's Surrey or today's Eastern Seaboard. His people voice such dated Americanisms as "bozo" or "They said a mouthful." and also manage to class themselves with London's Angry Young Men of today...
