The 1934 Pontiac bodies are roomier than ever and the chassis, of course, has that remarkable innovation --knee-action front wheels, the mechanism for which is enclosed in an oil-filled housingy A cross section of the knee-action wheel mechanism is shown in upper left. Upper right, one of the coupe models. Below the 5-pas- senger special coupe with trunk, Pontiac straight eights for 1934 are the smart new models foreshadow sturdier Fisher bodies equipped with 'having their. first local showing, and improved ventilation of the type that swept into. favor last year; a new still greater public favor for the K-Y box girder frame of tremendous Eight that invaded the low price field a year ago. The 1934 Pontiacs are larger and heavier, with a power plant strength and rigidity; and big brakes 'that translate light pedal pressure into safe, powerful braking force. New Pontiac*on Display guard Pontiac economy is the octane selector which permits a quick and ac- curate manual adjustment of the dis- tributor in order that the motor may take full advantage of whatever grade of fuel the owner elects to use. Re tarding the octane selector slightly of 84 horsepower--an increase of 7 Add to these features the new straight 'permits use of third grade fuel with- horsepower over the previous models, Fuel economy, however, is still great- er, mileage said to have been raised 10 per cent. A SARE Like other General Motors cars for 1934, Pontiac has adopted 'AKnee- action" front wheels, but of 'a type which differs most interestingly from * those revealed by. ears so far intro- - duced. 'mechanism is inclosed. in a' sturdy The Pontide "Knee-action sealed housing filled with gil, and two way shock absorbers operate inside the housing. With the old rigid front axle gone, and the front wheels "step- ping over" the bumps and ruts without transmitting shocks to the frame, Pontiac for 1934 gives a boulevard ride on the roughest roads. +f Other high spots of the new Pontiac are the increased wheelbase of 117% inches; .increase of six inches in the diameter of "the tires; roomier and eight motor, about which engineers are very enthusiastic, and you have a much improved car, = It is, in fact, "claimed for the new Pontiac engine that it is surpassed in smoothness hy only one car in the whole industry-- a car far 'above'Pontiac in cost. The power plant is so capable that only 56 per cent of its available power is required at a road speed of 65 miles an hour and, it is practically effortless at speeds well above 80. Acceleration is- silent and very impressive. Several improvements contribute to- wai'd Pontiac's increased operating economy. One of them is the higher compression ratio of 6.2 to.1 permit- ted by the new cylinder head. More important, is a new method of vaccum spark control which: supplements the centrifugally-operated conventional system of automatic spark advance. Another improvement aimed to out spark knock. On the other hand, those who buy premium fuels may ad- vance the octane selector to obtain maximum efficiency. : Electrical controls have.been sim- plified. The starter control now is opergted .'by the accelerator pedal. Starting of the engine operates a vaccum switch which immediately breaks the electrical connection and' automatically digengages the starter.' As long as the engine is operating it is impossible for the starter to engage. The warning signal of the 1934 Pon- tiac is a new type of "electric whistle" with a 19%-inch projector mounted under the hood. Twin chime electric whistles are supplied on special models Pontiac's new multibeam lighting sys- "tem provides "excellent visibility and safety in night driving. A push-pull switch on the instrument: control panel gives a different combination of beams suitable to either. efty or country driving, each set being controlled by the toe button of the type which Pon- tiac pioneered back in 1926. A feature of the system is that in country driv- ing a long, brilliant "passing" beam illuminates the right side of the road. This same "country passing beam" arrangement is employed for regular city driving. Both beams are lower- ed, however, for city' passing, Fender indicator lamps, another lighting fea- ture originally "pioneered by Pontiac, are chrome plated and carry an in- dicator jewel. They illuminate when the main headlights are in "passing" position, Longer by several inches, lower and racier in appearance, the new Fisher bodies are regarded as the most grace- ful and - attractive ever to grace a Pontiac chassis." : The new bodies are offered in var- ious types, as follows: Standard and special four door sedan; standard and special coach; special four door close- coupled sedan (with trunk); 6 pass. special coupe (with trunk); coupe; sport coupe and cabriolet, Master Roy Werry, of Enniskillen, is visiting with relatives in the village.

SWANSON, Jan, 26,--Many reports of dead horses are com- ing into town. Lack of feed, and the great depth of snow con- tributes to. this heavy toil Farmers report they are com- pelled to shoot animals rather than turn them out to starve on the snow covered prairies." MACRORIE--With an esti- mated number of about 100 head of horses and cattle having died on the prairies in this section within the past three months, local farmers are being confront- ed with the serious problem of providing power to do their sea- son's work. In some cases, ow- ing to feed shortage, some farm- ers have lost as many as six or eight head, while. many others have lost two.or three head with prospects of others passing be- fore spring. One farmer, Adolph Roseth, is attempting to meet the situation by breaking in some young steers and once again yokes of oxen will be the order of the day with some local farmers, " Not only is the dying of stock presenting a problem regarding power, but with animals lying |for the most part uncovered, it looks as though the carcasses will be a serious menace to health as soon as spring ap- proaches, unless steps are taken to have the remains buried, In Asquith, Sask., the towns: people were without milk for 24 hours because C. Brooks, dairy- man, was forced to abandon strenuous efforts to make the three-mile trip into town. roperty damage apparently was negligible ; a few small huild- ings were tipped over on farms and the odd window was broken by the force of the wind various- ly estimated up to 50 miles an hour. : From Davidson, south of here, came the following report, in- dicative of the severity of the situation: "Ninety per cent. of the horses in this district have been turned out to rustle their living and as there is no grass and no straw stacks they have wandered - away from home in search of feed. Farmers who have been out looking for them have reported finding a large number dead. Snow is very deep .|and packed hard, making it al- most impossible for horses to rustle. Hogs are being market- ed unfinished and cows are baie- ly producing enough to keep the district in butter." From Lucky Lake, to the south-west, came this informa- tion: "The fodder situation here is very serious indeed and muni- cipal officials state that stock is starving. A number of cars of oats have been distributed in the area during the past three weeks, but to date no hay has 'been supplied. . The municipal secretary states that he was advised three cars of hay were being shipped (by the re- lief commission) but none have arrived yet. Many horses have died from lack of proper feed 'and many more will die during the cold weather unless segme- thing is done immediately to remedy the shortage." Few farmers have gone into Lucky Lake and it was impossible to say today whether any livestock had died from exposure. In the Blaine Lake area feed monthly meeting in the church base-! Brooklin on Monday night and tied and straw stacks were buried by ment on Tuesday, January 30th. The new president, Miss Madden, presided. The main business of the meeting was the planning of a tea. It was de- 3-3, : Don't . forget the hot -supper and concert in Memory Hall, on' Friday evening, February 16th, under the the storm, but most of the cattle in the district were housed.

Power. only to shortage of feed but to the poor quality." " From Tufnell came a report that the storm was impeding farmers in making grain de- liveries to the elevators. Crops were good there last year and the farmers have been hauling since Christmas. Trains ran far behind schedule. Lloydminster, on the Alberta boundary, got only the tail end of the storm. The wind was strong and mercury tumbled to 20 below zero but there was no snow. All roads are open. : The storm tied up Rosetown area with seven-foot drifts. A correspondent there reported: The farmers of the district ex- pect a heavy loss of Kvestock al- though an estimate is impossible at present, Perdue fared better. "Despite one of the worst blizzards in years no serious damage was re- ported. All livestock are safe." Only a comparatively - small amount of stock is left in the dis- trict and these are being kept in sufficient feed by the Sask. Relief Commission. It is report- that 158 head of cattle and 526 horses have been shipped to the north county. No word was received of stock loss at Preeceville; but snow- drifts eight and ten feet deep were blocking the-rural roads. Rosthern was another district that stood up under the blizzard. "The cattle throughout the dis- trict are wintering fairly well asf. most farmers have built sheds in which to shelter their stock and the percentage of loss if any will be small." : SCUGO The Women's Association will hold their February ineeting in the Town- hall on Tuesday afternoon, Group No. 2 of the Foot Ladies will be the 'Hostesses and Mrs. Geo.
