Wanted--News Of Old Friends A few weeks ago I had a letter from Delia Cheney--an ex- Wonder Laker --- (who claims her heart is still here) and she asked me to please write about some of the people she knew during the years she lived here. She is one of my ever faithful readers out in funny California and asked especially for news of Van Sells, Leah Cormier, Alice Noren, and several others. She moved away from here about nine years ago. I don't get to see much of these people so if some of you old friends of Delia's will please get in touch with me and give me the scoop on what you are doing these days I'll be happy to pass it on to her via the column.

And the Cadillac car is a standout attraction even in this distinguished international company. For there is no automobile anywhere that can match Cadillac's reputation for excellence. Drive any eleven 1964 models and you'll discover why. There's Cadillac's magnificent and silent power. A 340*horsepower V-8 engine--most powerful ill Cadillac history--generates performance so swiftly that we caution even long-time Cadillac owners to mind their speedometers. There is the smoothness of our transmissions--an improved Hydra- Matic or new Turbo Hydra-Matic--which deliver that power to the rear wheels. There is the luxury of elegantly appointed interiors, together with the great convenience of power brakes and steering (plus power windows on most models) that have turned the (iOO-mile day into a restful reality. And there is also investment. Find a fine car, if you can, that returns more than your Cadillac when you choose to sell or trade it. Isn't it time to drive Cadillac--the one American fine car that enjoys premier rank whenever, the world's great automobiles are considered? Visit your Cadillac dealer soon. His selection of international favorites has never been more tempting.
