We think you ought to find out
why so many Buick buyers are
trading in one of the so-called
“low-priced three.”
We think you ought to compare
the size, compare the per-
formance, compare the price,
because we know what you’ll
find out:
MpHE price of a car has a lot
to do with the number of
folks who can afford to own it.
Why not find out for yourself
what’s behind this popularity?

Speaking and guiding the con-
ferences will be Dr. Paul M. Ker-
sten, staff psychiatrist with the
famed Menninger Foundation at
Topeka, Kans.; Charles W. Rob-
erts, Jr., dean of students at the
University of Texas, an education-
al leader who has attracted wide
attention in the field of counsel-
ing the young; Dr. Evelyn Car-
rington, professor of psychology
at Texas State College for Women,
Denton, and a recognized author-
ity on mental disturbances in both
children and aged; and William B.
Oglesby, Jr., professor of pastoral
counseling at Union Theological
Seminary, Richmond, Va. I
The forum, promoted by the Wi-
chita Falls Mental Health Society,
is for the general public — the
men and women, who as teachers,
religious workers, social workers,
parents or just interested laymen,
want to know more about the
■problems of mental health, stress-
ed Louis C. Weber, chief psycholo-
gist at the Wichita Falls State
Hospital and president of the men-
tal health society. Residents
throughout North Texas — the
people who supply the patients to
the State Hospital — and the peo-
ple of southern ’Oklahoma have
been invited to attend. Those at-
tending the conference will be
charged a fee of one dollar to help his h2me being released from
defray the heavy expenses of the
program, but night sessions will be
open to all comers without charge
and will be held at the First Meth-
Pdist Church. -n -
So the leaders in sales — for
almost a generation—have
been three cars whose bid for
popularity has included a
potent price appeal.
But who do you think is right
on their heels? Who has led the
field, outside “the low-priced
three”—ever since 1938?
Well, sir, the name is Buick.

I In Texas, state health officials
are shooting for a record of bene-

handicapped children than the
4,320 which were cared for under

State “Health Officer Geo. W.
