NEof these Hays the Itch Is going
to hit you to get out and get in on
the fun a Buick can be in the spring
! time.
You’re going to feel an irrepressible
yen to touch off that husky, sweet-sing
Ing Dynaflash power plant and swing
Out in gentle coil-spring comfort to take
In the fresh spring landscape.
Maybe, like others we know of, you’ve
even got the model picked Out, and are
Just “waiting a few weeks” to do some
thing definite about it
But may we emphasize, In purely
I friendly interest that a lot of other
people probably have the same idea.
And that when they start buying in
droves—as they do every year about
die ides of March—even Buick’s big
factory has trouble keeping up with
diem.
r» m m . r\ • v t • >. mm-t_M.
Of course, we’re doing all we can to be
ready for everyone.
But you can get only so many cars in
a warehouse.
And a full warehouse can empty aw
fully fast
And what with everybody wanting
Buicks this season, we can’t say how
long we can promise the delivery we
can give now.
So why not play the early bird this
year? Why not get the jump on your
neighbor and be driving your Buick
while he’s still talking about getting
his?
You’ve nothing to
lose, a lot of fun to
gain—and you’ll find
the address of your
Buick dealer in the
phone book.

Bomb Finnish Homes
On Christmas Day
Soldier, Hortie for 4 Hours
With Wife and Mother,
Is Blasted Out of House
By WILLIAM L. WHITE.
SOMEWHERE IN FINLAND (By
Airmail).—My paper route in Em
poria, Kan., used to be about 84
houses on Cottonwood. Sylvan and
East streets south of Sixth avenue
The railroad track cut through the
middle, but it is not a poor section
of town. It is hard-working and
thrifty, with neat little yards and
one-story cottages, which are kept
painted. They are all paid for, and
the men are all skilled carpenters
or plasterers or small storekeepers
or clerks or sometimes retired
farmers, and none of the women
can afford or needs a maid.
It was just such a section of this
town in Finland, which I may not
name because it is in,the war zone,
that the Russians bombed on Christ
mas Day.
From the top of the hotel we had
been watching the bombing, and
the plane*—30 of them fighting it
out overhead—and when we aaw a
column of smoke rise after one ex
plosion we knew a house had caught.
We got there and found the sol
diers were already before us. They
were running the are department,
spraying the flames, which wen
jumping from one little house to
the next. Most of them had on
steel helmets as a protection against
shrapnel from their own anti-air
craft. Some still wore the white
camouflage they use on the front
lines.
Home on Leave.
A dozen bombs had fallen within
a couple of blocks and not a win
dowpane was left. Some of the
craters were in yards and were 20
feet across. Others had smashed
one or two rooms of a neat little
house, reducing them to sad piles of
kindling and crumbled plaster.
The first bomb struck a house
belonging to a soldier who had been
granted Just four hours’ leave from
the front to spend at home on
Christmas. He was sitting with
his wife and his old mother drink
ing coffee before he left for his
train when the bomb struck. It
blew off his mother’s arm—she had
been taken to the hospital when we
got there—and set fire to the house.
We watched the soldier and his wife
trying to save what was left of their
little stock of furniture from the
flames—carrying out a Singer sewing
machine with the family album
perched on top of It.
All over the area bombs had
smashed little cottages, strewing
about the belongings of simple,
hard-working people—pictures, books
stoves, dining room tables, bundles of
old letters carefully tied with string,
bedsteads, mattresses, keepsakes—
trash If you like—but all the things
it takes to make a happy little home,
lying strewn, torn and broken
around in the snow.
We saw under the heel of a sol
dier playing a fire hose on a burning
house part of a child’s new Christ
mas toy.
We saw women, standing bewil
dered and crying, looking through
doorways into where a room had
once been, but where the roof was
caved in and two walls smashed.
The sun was low behind clouds and
it was very cold.
We saw many things that it lg
not good to see on Christmas Day.
Or any day.
