F YOU own a Chevrolet, a Pontiac, an Oldsmobtle, an Oakland, a Buick or • Cadillac, you own a General Motors car. "But what," yon may ask, "does that mean to meV* It means just this: General Motors is a family of companies building motor cars and trucks and such other famous automotive products as Fisher Bodies, Delco and Remy electrical systems, Harrison radiators and AC spark plugs. Still other General Motors products are Dclccv Light electric power plants and Frigidaire electric refrigerators. There are General Motors plants in 44 cities, employing 120,000 people; and sales and service organizations in 144 countries. Genera! Motors uses the combined r eso urce s of this great family for the b en e fit of each member. It effects great savings inthe purchase of quality materials; it provides the best of engineering talent; It maintains the world's largest research laboratories and proving ground for automobiles; and It assures the permanence of its various divi sions and the products which they make.

Ua needed an operation, he seid, bat be wanted It done by a {»articular sur enough money in reserve to pay for bis serv ices. I suggested that undoubtedly the doctor would be glad to perform the work with the understanding that his fee could be paid in installments later. The other day the actor came in again. He was bursting with health and confided to me that be had had the operation and was working again, letting aside so much each week to meet the Installments on the surgeon's »ill. "Two more payments," he said, "and the operation Is mine."

All of those who be lieve an author can't writ* about g thing unless he has been it, I refer to Ernest Bail, the composer of "Mother Machree" and many other Irish song successes. During a visit one day Mr. Ball toniahed me by stating almost-under oath that though his songs prq all but national anthems ln Erin.^i« bos nqyer been In Ireland "Mother Machree." be «aid. was written In a Neif Yolk lodging house Just off RrÔsdWày, 1b>£ tog coospoéed for Chnbnceji ÖWbtt to sing in "Barry of Ballymorw!"
