new PONTIAC
is LUXURY CAR
OF LOW PRICE
Body Lines Changed, Main
Features of Chassis Are
Altered Greatly.

Truly luxury car in the low
price field, the Pontiac six for 1929
bigger, fleeter, and smarter-is
displayed in the complete line of
seven-passenger models at the In
dianapolis automobile show.
Heralded as a big six, the new
Pontiac measures up to its name by
offering wide and flexible per-
Torrance range, and distinctive
Fisher bodies, styled to please an
exacting public.
The new line provides not only
new body lines, but a car almost
entirely new. All major features of
the chassis and body have been re-
designed or enlarged to bring the
car, in performance and smartness,
into the big car field.
An engine more powerful than a
year ago, with 200 cubic inches of
cylinder displacement and develop
ing 57horse power, addition OF
harmonic balancer and coun-
ter balanced crankshaft; larger
valves, manifold and carhuretor;
sturdier rear axle; redesigned trans
mission assembly; and new Hotch-
kiss drive with two universal joints
are among the chassis improve
ments that make possible quick,
vibrationless acceleration and high
top speed.
Bodies More Beautiful
In the beautiful new longer and
wider bodies, craftsmen of the
Fisher corporation, working in
conjunction with Oakland engineers,
have wrought a unique arrange
ment of lines and unusual style
touches that give the finished car
an appearance totally unlike any
other now on the road.
The Fisher closed bodies all have

Motoring Hints

When parking on a slippery spot
where difficulty in getting away may
be anticipated, get the right rear
wheel close to the curb so the wall
of the tire will obtain traction
against the curb itself.
n
IF cranking with the choke out be-
fore using the ignition be sure to
press the choke button in again
when ready to start the engine.
otherwise the cylinders will flood
with raw fuel.
A. little dry snow on top of ice is
especially hazardous, because it fills
up the depressions in the tire treads
and makes the tires less effective on
the ice.
II you use salt to keep ice from
forming on the windshield, be sure
to wash off the hood and cowl care
fully and watch for rust at joints
and hinges.
= r.
A car is always more apt to skid
on a curve if the brakes are applied
or the engine accelerated.
The wheels of some of the newer
cars spin if the streets are slippery
because of increased power under
the hood. Keep the brakes partly
on if you have trouble starting.
r. n y
When the streets are slippery
there will be no strain on the steer
ing gear If the wheels are cut all the
way to the left before pulling out of
a parking space.
= n
If the car doesn't tend to roll for
ward or backward when the brakes
are released and it is standing on a
slight grade, the indications are that
the brakes drag.

Famous Manufacturer Has Seen
Industry Grow from Infancy.
w. G. Durant has. completed
twenty five years as a manufacturer
of automobiles. During that time he
has seen the industry grow from its
very infancy. He has been tire
less worker at all times and the
fact that the automotiye industry
has grown to the largest one in the
worlds richest, busiest, nation is
due in large measure to his vision,
which was the cause of the indus
try's foundation being laid on the
broadcast, soundest lines at the start.
Last year Durant called to him
from all parts of the United States
his dealers, to whom he presented
his Silver Anniversary Durant
models. The sensational reception
these cars were given by the public
is now history.
In 1928 Durant Motors broke all
records for the last five years.

For T. years she has been d director of the playground and recreation asso- citation of America, under whose auspices the congress is being held.
 "A curious thing about modern life is the way so many of us take our recreation in doses, as though it should be q sort of medicine in stead of part of daily life, some thing as necessary to existence as food.' the message said. We 20 on for days and sometimes weeks without considering play then comes a holiday or weekend and we play with q vengeance. After d holiday many men and women return 10 their work more tired than they were before. Children arc over-stimulated by the pace which grown-ups force them to follow in their own thoughtless pursuit ot amusement"
 As recreations that best afforl the relaxation and sclf-expresson she said are needed in modern life
