The records prove that no car lasts longer than a Pontiac—hut this is only balj the story! For Pontiac continues, throughout the years, to. render fine performance—to give its owner the same thrill he felt when he first took the wheel. Owners who have driven their Pontiacs for fjvt, seven, and even ten years will testify that their cars still give complete satisfaction in every way. For Pontiac is a GOOD car-designed and built to stay on the job. This is a basic Pontiac

J Mrs. Martha Freeman Visits In : Indiana First Time In 74 Years

1 On September 16, 1873, a 10- • year-old girl climbed into a covt ered wagon with her four brothers and sisters, father and mother, to leave Indiana for Kansas. It took the family and the occupants of four other covered wagons, traveling in the same caravan, from September 16 to October 1 24 to reach their destination. Now for the first time in 74 years, Mrs. Martha Ellen Freeman, that 10-year-old girl who ac- . companied her pioneer parents in their westward trek, is visiting in Decatur, and other parts of her native state of Indiana. Mrs. Freeman, a cousin of Robert Lane, local merchant, and other members of her immediate family, are visiting here with the Lane family. It’s been practically a life-span for many since Mrs. Freeman's father headed bis team-drawn prairie schooner in the direction of the setting sun and their new

Locker Use Combats Shortage Os Meat More than 1 billon pounds of meat are expected to be drained away from retail butcher shops into meat locker plants in the next year, stock yard interests estimated. A record tonnage in recent weeks has gone intd locker plants. This demand is expected to widen as more families attempt to protect themselves against expected meat shortages and higher prices in 1948. In the last few weeks much beef has gone into therse plants, and a large amount of pork is expected to. be packed away. Since the public has been warned less meat will be available next year an unusually heavy demand has developed for space in lockers where families can keep reserve supplies. The modern meat locker plant provides customers with almost every phase of meat cutting, cur-, ing, and preparation for the, table, i with the exception of cooking or I canning. Some plants even butch-1 er. An average plant contains about 30b lockers each holding an average of about 300 pounds. Some small plants have as few as 50 and some larger ones more than 1,000 It was esimated that all locker plants combined can hold about 1 billion pounds of meat. F. F. Wajrner, meat specialist of the Illinois department of agriculture, reported an increase of 232 per cent in the number of locker plants in the last seven

home in the sunflower state, but to Iferi Indiana will always be “home.” Her return trip to this state was, of course, made in a much faster, safer and more comfortable mode oi travel than that one westward 74 years ago. This time she traveled in the comparatively luxurious comfort of an auto, driven by her son-in-law, Clarence Rexroad. Incidentally, John B. Stults, Decatur’s merchant mayor, is a friend of the family and has visited at the Freeman home in Kansas. Mrs. Freeman, with other members of her family, is touring various sections of the state, including this and the southern Indiana areas near Holton, “the old home place” —before returning west. Yes, times —and especially means of travel—have changed in the last three-quarters of a century, she has agreed.

years. They rose from 2,870 in 1940 to 9,529, a gain every year in face of high construction costs and war time restrictions on many other building projects. The gain this year, 1,504 new plants, was second largest on record. The government has encouraged the building of locker plants in farm regions. lowa has more than any other state with a total of 702. more than, seven to a county. Washington is second with 576. Minnesota has 572, Wisconsin 565, and Illinois 535. The rental of a locker runs upward. from about sl2. a year depend ing on size. The ordinary procedure, unless the renter brings in an animal to be butchered) of a carcass to be cut up, is for the renter to select the meat he wishes to store from the supply produced at the plant. This is weighed, wrapped, and deposited in his locker to be called for as wanted. He has his own key to the locker. All meat is frozen solid aud temperatures are held at zero. 0 I Berne Dunbar Workers Join National Union Berne, Ind., Oct. 9 — the Dunbar Workers Organization, which was formed here a few months ago, has become affiliated with the Upholsterers International Union of fheW F?L.

of the exchange, said the sharp increase, was caused by the government's announcement that it would not sell its frozen eggs at 1 less than cost — 32% cents a ■ pound —plus carrying charges.
