When Ralph De Palma
shattered a galaxy of worlds
automobile speed records at
Daytona Beach on Lincoln's
Birthday, he rode on Good
year Cord Tires.
AS his Packard Special
bulleted forward in its furi-
Gus attempt against time,
perhaps the heaviest strains
of the teStWere concentrated
on these tires.
Think of the intense heat
and friction resisted by his
Goodyear Cord Tires, revolv-
ing 1900 times per minute
on a soft beach!
Think of this gruelling
contest being kept up for 20
miles at the rate of nearly
$50 miles per hour, the fast
est time ever made by a self
propelled vehicle on mother
earth.
We wish you could have
seen De Palma's Goodyear

the pastor, Rev. Howard F. Downs,
was a strong and stirring appeal for

The Latter-day Saints are deeply
concerned in the naturalization OF
their dead, back through the gener-
ations to the remotest extent possi-
BILE. This is eNemplified by the per-
sistent ardor of the people in the
compilation and preservation OF
genealogical records. the collating
of items OF lineage, and the fornru-
lation OF true family pedigrees. by
which the facts as to the relation
ship Of ancestors to posterity may
be determined.
In this specific activity the Church
OF Jesus Christ OF Latter-day Saints
is not working alone: for il is a
notable fact that during the last
seven or eight decades. Interest in
genealogical matters has developed
to a degree heretofore unknown in
modern history. The living are

dead. And in this movement, as in

The immediate motive in such un-
dertakings may vary with the indi-
vidual. Many, doubtless. ara eager
to trace their pedigree to ani illus

estimate of eminence: and of\ these
some find disappointment. As hitter
ature attests, many spurious lpedi-
grees have been fabricated. ID was
