A bigger, smarter, more powerful ,and more luxurious Pontiac, bringing big car features within the price i range of the small six, was promised by the Oakland company. This announcement comes near the close of the most successful year in the company’s history with an estimated total output for 1928 of close to 270,000 units, forty percent above 1927. in preparation for 1929, extensiye building projects under way here for some time past now are practically completed, and will give the OaklandPontiac plant a capacity next year in excess Qf 350,000 cars., Production of parts for the new car js now under way at the company Plant, said to be the most modern and best equipped in the industry. The new Pontiac Six will be built almost entirely in factories owned by the Oakland Motor Car Company and the Fisher body plant at Pontiac, because the opening of new production units will enable Oakland in 1929 to build parts formerly manufactured elsewhere. Keen interest in the new’ Pontiac Six was evidenced in automotive circles here and at Detroit because the Pontiac, first introduced in 1926, has since consistently shattered all previous sales records for a new malyt of car. While embodying big car features fl nd performance, the new Pontiac Six will remain within the price tange of the smaller six, according to *he announcement issued today. National showings will be held around the first of the coming year. —It.

In the year of 1909 a small group □f Knights of Columbus, among whom was a Catholic priest, were discussing matters of Catholic interest. At that informal gathering the idea of a home for delinquent Catholic boys was thrust into the conversation. The necessity for such an institution and the obligation of the Catholics towards its establishment and maintenance became the topic that elicited considerable interest. The priest portrayed the future benefits that would accrue to both Church and State from an institution that would train and educate the delinquent Catholic boy whose delinquency was principally due to parental neglect, lack of home training and unfavorable environ-ment-conditions not. of the boy’s own making. For two years the idea of a home for delinquent Catholic boys never advanced beyond the stage of a mere idea. While those to whom it was explained received it with enthusiastic approbation, some mis-giving was felt as to its ultimate success. Such a home U> succeed necessarily had to enlist the moral and financial support, not only of a few, but of all the Catholic people of Indiana. It was not until 1911, at the state convention of the Knights of Columbus, that the first organized step was taken toward the establishment of such a home. At that time a resolution was adopted for the appointment, of a committee to investigate, to consider, and to recommend what should be done. The Bishops of both dioceses of Indiana were consulted; pastors of the parishes throughout the state were questioned; opinions of judges, probation officers, social workers, and others familiar with the life of the delinquent boy were solicited; data from institutions of a similar nature obtained; and the juvenile delmquenc’, within the state ascertained.. After a careful and painstaking investigation covering a period of practically three years, the necessity for a home for delinquent Catholic boys was clearly recogrfized.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAJ 1 * SATURDAY, DECEMBER I, 1928.

At the 1915 state convention a recommendation was favorably acted upon to submit a plan of assessment to each subordinate Council. When the convention met in ISlti the never-faiiing charity of the Catholic pople was proven by the report that the resolution providing for an assessment of $-1.00 upon each member of the Knights of Columbus had been unanimously accepted. At the time of the state convention in 1917, ©ur country had entered the world war conflict and war activities legitimately counselled delay, as the thoughts and efforts of the Catholic people were loyally centered upon our nation’s success. This condition prevailed during the 1918 and prior to the convention in 1919. Among the sites submitted was s the magnificent estate of Mr. and Mrs. Fred B. Smith, located five miles south of Terre Haute. This estate was ideal in its surroundings, its buildings, its equipment. Its possession meant immediate operation. The sale price of the Smith estate was $75,000. While this was a low figure, still it loomed mountain-high. Then assuredly Divine Providence intervened. On the morning of the day the committee was in session to make its decision, Mr. and Mrs. Smith in the generosity of their hearts decided to donate to the home for delinquent Catholic boys the magnificent sum of $25,000. This donation reduced the purchase price of this most suitable of ail sites to $50,000. The offer of the two generous donors was accepted, and the Smith estate purchased. The establishment of The Gibault Home for Boys was now but a step ahead and it was dedicated to such use on October 9 1921. ’The formal opening of the Gibault Home for Boys was a Gensend to many wayward Catholic boys. Many committeements were made immediately. A strict disciplinary code, tempered at all times with kindness, quickly changed these boys. They learned to love their superiors; to respect Gibault Home and to fully comprehend their duty to God

and society. Under the guidance of the priests practically all of the work of the maintenance of the home was done by the boys. Their respective duties btcame a pleasure. The school roon, which had ever been a nightmare, assumed an entirely different aspect. Attendance at Holy Mass and the reception of the Sacraments, which they had formerly shunned were now considered blessed privileges. The total number of boys received at the home in the past seven years is in excess of 200. Os this number one hundred have been returned to society—delinquent boys grown into resourceful young men, eager and fit in every way to fight the battles of life. The spiritual advancement of the boy is j considered, without a doubt, the most serious duty the home has. There is no uniform, nothing of the character of a penal institution, no stigma attached to any boy at Gibault. Nobody talks of wayward boys. They are pupils in a wonderfully interesting Catholic school. A boy may arrive in the custody of the law, but it does not take long to forget that. Under the careful and competent management of the Rev. Michael J. Gorman, director, the home is growing in value—new buildings, farm lands, herds of valuable stock, and the like, have been added iffiti! today the Gibault home for bqys is referred to as a ha.L million dollar institution. IB order that each Catholic of Indiana may have an opportunity to assist in the furtherance of this worthy home for delinquent boys, Bishop Chartrand, of the Indianapolis diocese, and Bishop Noll, of the Fort Wayne diocese, have sent to each parish priest of Indiana a letter asking that on Sunday, December 2, a collection be taken up at all the masses and be given over for thft maintenance of the Gibault Home for Boys. In each Knights of Columbus council in Indiana, the first meeting in December will be given over to a program having to do with the Gibault Home for Boys, and interesting reports will be made by district deputies. 9
