foster 'homes. That we had 40 new
applications far adoption during
the year and even with our place-

30 homes still awaiting children.
There were 65 homes where we

than take the children. Nineteen

Through the Adoption Pool

NEW KIND OF CAR IS BOR.
'this is the Golden Jubilee Car—
a revolution on wheels—boldly
p nned from the very begn7ning
as a Golden Anniversary showpiece
for Pontiac and General Motors.
This one you really must see—here is a
car unlike any you have ever known ! The
Golden Jubilee Pontiac is an all-new breed
of cars—in eight brilliant series and 30
sleek models covering every possible price
bracket. �t)
In all of them you'll find engineering ad-
vances so daringly different yet so basically
sound that they will trigger the next big
change. You'll find a few "of these ideas
here, but there's much, much more: new
jeweled -action power; a new transmission;
new handling; new comfort; new styling.
Be among the first to discover the newest.
Make it a point to see your Pontiac dealer
soon and prove to yourself that no car in
history ever left yesterday so far behind.
