F. Wolfram, general manager of Oldsmobile and vice-president of Genera] Motors. i Called the Holiday sedan, this new four-door glamor model will combine the luxury of the popular hardtop coupe and the comfort of a full-sized sedan, Wolfram added. In appearance, the new model retains the rakish lines of Oldsmobile's Holiday coupe and still has the practical advantages of a foor-door sedan. "Oldsmobile was one of the pioneers iif hardtop styling," Wolfram continued, "and this new Holiday sedan will be a companion to the popular two^door Holiday coupe and the regular four-dbor sedan." FiHi C6st 3,000 Liveis, Million This Year In Nation w CARD IN THE HAT Did you ever think that playing cards can provide phy*tcal as well as mental exercise? Take a simple game like "Fifty* Two Pick Up," in which you deliberately scatter the full pack about the floor and then pick up the cards one at a time, with tangible benefits to the bulging waistline. O r t r y "Card in the Hat." "Card in t h e H a t " might more accurately be called "Card Occasionally in the Hat" for although it lis a simple game which requires no card knowledge whatsoever, it rewards the player who can throw a playing card through the air with some degree of accuracy. Anyone can play the game by himself but two people playing simultaneously can provide the most spirited entertainment First you get a man's felt hat and place it, crown down, on the floor ftbbut ten feet, in front of you. If you have an opponent, he may stand & side-by-side with you or directly opposite you with the hat in the middle. Each player holds a full S2-card deck and, tossing one card at a time, tries to throw them into the fedora. After all the cards have been thrown, each card in the hat or on its brim counts a point for the player who flipped it If the two players stand opposite each other, with the hat equidistant from them, they may toss the cards simultaneously, with the resulting possibility that the cards may crash head-on in the air. With a combination of skill and luck, one player can kndck a well-tossed card of his opponent's out of the running. Or he can aim for an opponent's card which is teetering precariously on the brim of the hat. A word of caution for those playing the game for the first time: Don't be dismayed if you fail to land a single card in the target out of the first pack you fling. Until you've experimented and evolved your own method, the cards won't go where you want them. You'll find staunch devotees of the sideways wrist-flip. Another group maintains that for true control and direction you should hold the card between the index and middle fingers, paltn down, and propel it with a swing of the fingers instead of the wrist Be patient until you've developed a good method for throwing the cards and you'll be amply rewarded with plenty of laughs and excitement Here Mother Nature liaa created a picture that's your* for the click. of your camera, i Sunlight and Snow Make Dramatic Pictures JEasy Sunlight and'shadows bring out - the texture of the snow and add appeal to your pictures. Don't jus^ snap a picture and let it go at that. - Look over your snowy landscape in the viewfinder of your camera ... look at it from various angles;) to see what forms the best pictur^,' Concentrating on what is framed in the viewfinder is important-- , just as in any type of scenic shot; • If you shoot too fast, you may be disappointed. You may expect the, camera to see everything that you saw with your eyes--and it can't( * not all in one picture. Your eyes i move, sweep the scene. The cam* era's eye doesn't. It sees just e*x«-' actly what you can see in the, viewfinder. Keep that in mind and" make beautiful si\ow pictures thjis year. , --John Van Guilder T^LQWING brooks bordered by * snowy banks have won an endless array of ribbons and prizes in photographic contests. Snow pictures, whether taken for artistic effect, or to show people having fun with winter sports ... on vacation trips or in your own backyard ... are pictures you shouldn't overlook. The subject material can make any of us an artist with the simplest camera if we treat it right Snow comes to life under bright sunlight. It isn't photogenic in the usual sense on dull days But when the sun sets it asparkle-- that is certainly time for picture taking. On days like that, snowy landscapes are filled with contrasts, offering ideal picture-taking conditions for either black-andwhite or color film. Farm fires -- estimated to coat over 3,000 lives and about $142 million this year -- present their gravest threat in the winter. . This fact is borne out in a survey conducted in one midwestern state, showing that although there are over ten buildings on the average farm in that slate, 64 per cent of the damage by fire is to the dwelling, and over- 75 jper <:exit of dwelling fires were caiusfed by flues and heating systems,..or sparks on roofs-- both winter hazards. To protect your fagm against fire this .winter, the National Board of Fire Underwriters suggests the following principal precautions: 1. If your roof is shingled with wood, be sure the shingles are in good condition said £hat there ore spark arresters on your chimneys. 2. See that chimneys are in good condition. Every fali, they should be inspected, particularly at the roof line, and cleaned. Repair cracks with cement mortar. •Entry into the. attic is necessary for a thorough inspection job. 3. Stoves, fttrnaces, ranges and fireplaces should be kept clean. Furnaces , and wood stoves should be at least is inches from walls, beams woodwork unless the latter ;. a& properly; insulated. Stovepipe# should not run thru attics concealed spaces. A stovepipe' Vhich runs through a combustible partition should- be equipped with a double metal ventilated jthimble a foot larger in diameter than the pipe. 4. Fireplaces should be equipped with sturdy metal screens. 5. Keep portable! Qil heaters on a level surface, aw'ay from furniture, draperies and other combustibles. Never fill one while it is lighted. Keep the fuel supply outdoors. and refill heaters there. When one is burning, keep a window or door slightly open to provide an adequate oxygen supply. Any gas heater should be equipped with a vent to carry the fumes outside the house. ASSIST VETERANS A Veterans .

' Interpretation of Reactions The 1:50 dilution is no longer a suspect on vaccinates. The 1:50 still applies to non-vaecina.tes. The vaccinates must reict in a 1:100 dilution to be a suspect and 1:200 dilution to. be a reactor. For the time being the >xihg test will be used on the iailk producing/ herds and the bloodagglutination test to only, the milk positive herds. Anything over "one plus" is considered positive.
