already taking up studies in
Paris, one in the scandinavian
countries, one is on the way to
Hong Kong and three others
also plan to study abroad.
As in last years competition,
candidates for graduate study
are required to have finished
their college education and

Even the distinctive front fem
ders have undergone an evolu-

crease at the corners, lowered

Raising and lowering of the

New Instrument Panel
Interior appointments have
been re-designed. The instrument
panel has been styled to make
dials more readable and to place
controls within easy reach of

The fingertip crossbar of the

Seating arrangement in the
station wagon has been improved
by providing the drivers seat
with fold down-back for easier
access to the rear seat. This en-
ables passengers to get to the
