FOR EVERY CITIZEN! We all profit when tourists come to our province. Even if you have no connection with hotels, oil companies or amusements, their increased business helps you. So it’s in your interest to do all you can to encourage friends from other parts to come and share our Ontario Holidays. Keep June the fourtheenth open n your calendar for a big day at the Centralia airport. June four­ teenth has been selected as Air­ force Dav across Canada and each station will open its gates to the public. Airforce Day at Centralia will be a station holiday and all personnel will turn their best ef­ forts towards shoeing- the commun­ ity a cross section of station life. Although plans are still in the ten­ tative stage as yet, the groundwork has been laid for flying and ground displays together with a sports pro­ gram and ending with a big station dance in the evening. The exten­ sive ground display planned will till number two hangar. We even heard one airman clamoring for a display whose motif would feature crossed mops on a background of buckets and tastefully trimmed with lawnmowers. * * * * much travelled man these days is LAC.

Owing to the pressure of news last week part of the report of the 25th anniversary of Centralia Un­ ited Church had to be curtailed. The present choir leader paid trib­ ute to the leadership of Mr. Andrew Hicks when the church was first erected. She said that what was well taught 25 years ago was well remembered by the older members of the choir and to him was due part of the credit. It is hoped that the youth of the choir today in an­ other 25 years will bespeak the same. Omitted were the names of Rev. Weir, pastor, and Rev. Kitely, ; who assisted with the evening ser­ vice. hVJ ‘•V When you own a Pontiac you can be sure it is deliberately designed and built to give you a cer­ tain type of value. First of all, it is designed to give you fine perform­ ance — really fine performance — performance that will give you a thrill every time you take the wheel. This applies to the engine, to the car’s roominess and comfort, to its roadability and handling ease. Yet — Pontiac is also designed to give you economy — to operate inexpensively —■ to be easy on service— and to last a long, long time. In short, Pontiac is de- signed to give complete satisfaction — at the lowest possible cost. This is always true of Pontiac. So regardless of when you expect to get your next car—make it a Pontiac. It’s a wonderful value. • • • The stack of orders piled up for tire new Pontiac are grati­ fying testimonials to the quality and beauty of this finest of the famous Silver Streaks. Unfortunately, so many orders also mean that many who choose Pontiac must wait. So if your car-wise head and heart say 'Pontiac* . . . your present car will give you better, safer service while you wait if you have it checked regularly by a General Motors dealer. „P-347A And here’s what’s back BEAUTY — Distinctive Silver Streak Styling • New massive front end design ® more graceful styling throughout. comfort — Big, roomy Body by Fisher • Famous Triple- Cushioned Ride • More Luxurious Interiors ® Shock-Proof Knee-Action ® Fisher No-Draft Ventilation ® Remarkable Handling Ease.
