"CARE" SELF-HELP PACKAGE GOES TO WESTERN GERMANY Thousands of struggling young men in Germany barred from trade apprenticeships by the high cost of tools, will receive American aid throftgh the expansion of CARE'S overseas "self-help" program. The new CARE package ready for order here is a kit of carpenter's tools especially designed for West Germany, where apprentices to the various trades traditionally have to supply their own tools. "The cost in Germany today is so high few parents can afford to give their children this start toward self-sufficiency," Martha David, Chicago regional CARE director sad. The carpenter kit contails all the basic implements needed by a young tradesman: jack plane, roughing plane, screwdriver, brace, clamp, square, 2 gimlet bits.-tower pinceY, marking gauge, joiner's saw, hammer, wood rasp, wood file, three chisels, four auger screw bits, a span web saw and a folding rule. "The kit may be sent to any part of West Germany or Berlin for $20. Because German trades have different requirements for tools and measures from their American counterparts, CARE bought the tools from reliable old German manufacturers. The contents are approved by the Bonn Ministry of the Interior and West German social agencies and trade unions, all interested in providing training and equipment for youths desiring to enter a trade. Any individual or group desiring to aid CARE in the new selfhelp plan may do so by ordering I the kits through the CARE office in Chicago at 189 W. Madison j Street.

Truth is--a skillful driver can just about double the bonus we mention, if he makes the most of what this year's --ROADMASTER has to offer. •. Most of the time, only two of tlies' barrels are needed--and they feed such e thrifty mixture that you use less gasoat 40 mph than you'd formerly use at 30. But -- when you want a quick burst of eager power -- you can double the air supply as well as the gasoline feed--and come up with the highest horsepower ,that Buick's Fireball 8 Engine ever -delivered./ r-r----- le reason you can get such a bonus ^traces to a pair of simple facts: (1) It's a mixture of gasoline and air that gives you power. (2) Buick engineers have come up with a four-barrel automatic carburetor. " that lets you use more gallons of air per gallon of fuel. Of course, any man who's buying a car as fine as a ROADMASTER wants a lot more than extra miles from a tankful of gas. He ^yants the distinction of extra room, extra comfort, richer fabrics and all the other refinements that make a car truly fine. He wants to ride with solid security, confident poise and lordly silence. And, while he may not admit it^ he yearns for a car that's full of fun.
