of the. C.T.A. and its provincial
and local affiliates depend largely
, for their success on Christmas

against nontuberettlosis 1'espira7
tory disease has barely begun;
judging by experience with other
diseases, continued efforts should_
- bring substantial results.

Cadillac for 1066 has new styling front and rear that emphasizes the long, low classic profile — as illustrated in this Calais hardtop sedan. The traditional Cadillac grille now has a
horizontal bar running through the centre. The spacing between the vertical and horizontal
lines of the grille has been increased to produce a broader look. Less use of chrome trim
and ornamentation adds to the car's look of distinction. New features include veriable-ratio
steering, unique with Cadillac, slimmer bucket seats, optional pillow-design seats and optional headrests. ,
