Hew 1354 Pontiacs On Display Friday Smartest and Most Eye- Catching Colors Ever Offered Some of the smartest, most eye catching colors ever offered by Poniac feature the 1964 line of Star Chiefs and Chieftains, which go on display in dealers’ showrooms across the na tion for a two-day announcement per iod beginning Friday, December 18, according to A. E. Jenkins, manager of the Chas. H. Jenkins Motor Com pany, local Pontiac dealer. The sincere belief that the car buy er wants—and deserves —the best pos sible car at the lowest possible price was the motivating factor behind the introduction by Pontiac of the new and bigger Star Chief line for 1964, H. E. Crawford, General Sales Mana ger, states. “We believe the American new car buyer wants, and is entitled to get, all the size, all the comfort, all the; good looks, all the performance, all the durability that can possibly be built into a motor car. “And we think the buyer should get this at the lowest possible price. “This combination of quality and frice has been the idea behind every ’ontiac car built in the last 28 years. “It is in this tradition that we in troduce the Star Chiefs for 1954 more car for the money. The Star Chief series is an entirely new line of cars, the biggest, most luxurious, most powerful and most beautiful Pontiacs ever built. “We feel sure that the public will recognize in our new Star Chiefs the finest car by far in the medium price class.” Local Insurance Man Cautions Lax Motorists A considerable number of North Carolina motorists are risking their right to drive, according to George S. Twiddy, local representative of the Northwest Casualty Company. “Despite the wide publicity given the new North. Carolina Safety Re sponsibility Law, many motorists have not made any provision for pro tecting themselves,” Mr. Twiddy said, “perhaps not realizing that this new Law has ‘teeth’ that can really bite.” It was pointed out that while lia bility insurance is not necessary under the law', few motorists could afford to have cash or securities in a sufficient amount to cover a property damage or injury claim tied up during the time such a claim was being settled. Neith er could they afford to lose their right to drive by having their driver’s li cense suspended for failure to comply with the law. Statistics compiled in the past indi cate that nrior to the current legisla tion, which enforces responsibility for accidents upon drivers, only approxi mately 25 per cent to 30 per cent of the motorists in North Carolina car ried adequate public liability insur ance. This left the general public the prey of 76 per cent of the drivers who in most cases could not pay for in juries or damages caused by careless operation of their automobiles. Wide- ; spread public information efforts in i connection with the new law are ex pected to greatly reduce this number of financially irresponsible drivers. ENTERTAIN BAPTIST CHOIR Mr. and Mrs. M. A.

I have noticed many times in the city that when shrubbery has be come too large and must be cut back severely it will be done at this season instead of the period just before growth starts in the spring. What I am trying to bring out is the fact that if you prune trees or shrubs back severely now you will have to look at the naked stumps all winter since there will be no growth until spring. On the other hand, if the pruning was done in late winter or early spring, it would take only a short while for the new growth to cover up the ugly stumps. Os course, no shrubs should be allowed to get into so bad a condition that they should have to |be cut back to large stumps. Intelli gent pruning each year should pre vent that. Spring flowering shrubs should be pruned only lightly during the dor mant season if you wish a lot of bloom. That would include spiraea, forsythia, climbing roses and other similar spring bloomers. Heavier pruning can be done immediately af ter they are through blooming. Sum mer flowering shrubs such as crepe myrtle and hybrid tea roses may be pruned quite severely during the dor mant period because they bloom on the new wood. It is best to delay the pruning of hybrid tea roses until late in the dormant season or until danger of hard freezing is past. If you have any pear trees, the less pruning you do on them the better. Pruning will force out new growth, and this new growth is very suscepti ble to fire blight infection. The same cautions apply to the fertilization and cultivation of pears. Keep fertiliza tion and cultivation down to a mini mum in order to slow down growth. Fig bushes are often damaged by cold weather and, therefore, it is best to delay pruning until danger of fur ther freezing injury is past. Pruning cf evergreen shrubs is best done just before growth starts at the end of the dormant season.
