Drown* In River While Crocking Ice William Williamson, 68, who was employed in Chicago and lived in a cottage on the banks of the Fox river, a radle north of Fox River Grove, lost his life in the river Monday evening, after a woman and two men had made a, vain effort to rescue him. Mr. Williamson walked to Fox Riv- ^r Grove Monday noon on a shopping trip. As evening came on he started for the cottage in which he lived with a widowed cousin, Mrs. Anita Hanson, on tlie north bank of the river, ile had walked on the ice with s-afety earlier in the day and, although theweather, was mild, he decided to again cross on the ice. When in the middle of tire stream the ice broke under his weight and he was plunged into the water. His cries for help were heard by Mrs. Hanson. Snatching a clothesline, she ran out on the ice, but got too close to the edge and she also was plunged into the water. Both shouted for assistance and their cries were heard by Guy A. Jones, a mrr.l mail carrier. Jones summoned a neighbor and they hurried to the river bank, where they found an old rowboat. "When they reached the area of thin \ce the boat broke through but they rowed alongside the man and woman, In-an effort to get the two into the boat it fcapsized and all four were then in the water. About this time members of the Fox River Grove fire department, who0had been summoned, arrived and &n extension ladder was used to rescue the quartet. However, the aid came too late for Williamson, The firemen worked over him for some time, but were unable to revive him.

Day after day, we hear people say--"I'm so glad I decided to purchase a Pontiac F.ight! It is such a satisfaction to feel that we have something more than mere transportation." This extra measure of satisfaction, of course, is strictly a plus value when you buy a new Pontiac Straight Eight. For, purely on the basis of what the car. itself provides--it is the most logical car in America for anyone to buy. First of all, Pontiac is a big car--with i wheelbase of 117 inches--and big, roomy bodies by Fisher. It is powered by the great Pontiac "Speedway Ei^ht" engine--one the finest motors in use today. of """ *"-- c " * • * - m~J **--•-'rr.

And, finally, it is one of the two most beautiful cars in America today--absdlutely regardless of cost. Certainly, it's a pleasure to own the new„ Pontiac. For it is unmistakable that theman who drives a Pontiac has gone out of the mass group into the class group. And yet--it costs practically nothing to take this step. When bought on time pay* ment, the difference between the cheapen. cars and the Pontiac is frequently not more than a few dollars a month. Come in for a demonstration of the new Pontiac.
