S.-CANADA GOOD WILL Kiwanis clubs,of both countries have spotted these "monuments of good^neighborliness" from coast to coast. V Pictured here is a ^schematic drawing of the 3000-mile border between the United' States and Canada, showing locations of the twenty-five K i w a n i s -sponsored "peace markers." Each "peace marker" bears a bronze plaque with the wording shown on the inset TTie legend. at the right pinpoints the "peace marker" locations. The first Kiwanis peace marker was put in place by Michigan Kiwanians at the Ambassador bridge which connects Detroit and Windsor, Ontario. This marker was set up on Jan. 22, 1935, during ceremonies marking the twentieth anniversary of the founding of Kiwanis. Other peace markers were set •up by U.S. or Canadian clubs working singly, in pairs or in groups, as the years went by. Plans are currently in progress to set up additional markers before the end of 1956. Inspiration for the twenty-five Kiwanis peace markers was furnished by the establishment, in 1925, of the Kiwanis International Good Will Memorial in Stanley Park, Vancouver, B.C. This memorial was set up by U.S. and Canadian Kiwanis clubs to signalize the lasting friendship between the two nations, and to commemorate the first visit of a U.S. President, in office, to Canadian soiL TTiat president, a Kiwanian, was Warren G. Harding. Each peace marker is located at an important port of entry between the U.S. and Canada. TCiough they vary in appearance,, each bears the following legend: "This unfortified boundary line between the Dominion of Canada and the United States of America shoUld quicken the remembrance of the more than a century old friendship between these countries -- a lesson of peace to all nations. Erected (date). Kiwanis International." April 28 of this year marks the 138th anniversary of the signing of the Rush-Bagot Agreement which demilitarized the U.S.Canadian boundary, as memorialized by the Kiwanis peace markers. April 22 to April 28 will be observed by Kiwanians in both nations as U.S.-Canada Good Will Week. This will be the 35th consecutive year for Kiwanis observance of U.S.-Canada Good Will Week.

It's a 1956 Buick SPECIAL--which means, of course, it's a big car. But look again at the price news it carries. It tells you this bigBuick SPECIAL can be , yours for only a few dollars more than the price of the well-known smaller cars --for even less than some models of those very same cars. (And the price well show you proves how true that is,) The gospel truth is -- this brawny new beauty is the biggest bundle of high style and hot performance ever offered in Buick's lowest-priced Series. Even that, though, doesn't completely explain why Buick outsells every car in America except the two well-known smaller ones. To understand the big reason, you've got to know something abou^ how much more pure automobile you get for your money in a 1956 Buick-- The extra satisfaction of commanding Buick's walloping new 322-cubic-inch V8 engine-- The extra joy and comfort of Buick's new buoyant ride, Buick's matchless new handling ease, Buick's extra solidity of structure-- The extra thrill that comes from the world's most modern transmission. For, at your option, you can also have the new double-action take-off --and the extra gas-saving mileage--of Buick's advanced new Variable Pitch Dynaflow.f Those are some of the things we'd like you to Jcnow, firsthand, about the 1956 Buick.
