If you eat an apple for dessert,
when all around you are eat
ing plo and urging It on you.
If you can count your calorie
every day while cooking for
a harvest crew.
If you can pass the candy coun
ter when you're shopping, or
smell the bakery goodies
without stopping
You're going to lose Borne
weight, my dear.
If you'll take time to plan your
healthful menus, then eat no
more than what you've plan
ned, If you can stop while reaching
and slap that naughty out
reached hand.
If you can stick to exercises
daily, and take a walk Instead
of cookies bake
You'll wear the TOPS club
crown more often and help
your chapter records make.
If you can eat a wholesome
breakfast and only nourishing
foods at lunch,
Then sup but lightly in the
evening, going to bed without
another munch,
You're on the way to being
slender. Clothes on the small
size rack will be for you.
A row of six-weeks-loss trophies
won't be just a dream, but
true.
If you can eat three sticks of
celery when what you really
want Is chocolate cake,
Or write a letter to some lone
ly person when fudge Is what
you'd rather make,
If you can say, "No thank you,
I've had my quota" and stick
to it time and time again, ..
You're going to lose that fat,
big girlie, you'll be looking
and not just THINKING thin.
If you can make this kind of
living habit, you'll be a real
credit to Lexington Leaner
Tods.
What's more you'll look and feel
much better, and join the
royal order known as KOPS.

A bargain price on a stripped-down car is no bargain.
But a Buick or Opel at a bargain is something else again.
Because we're not selling some special stripped
down model.
We're selling Buicks and Opels, the same great cars
we've sold all year.
Opel 1900 Sport Coupe. With a 1 9
liter engine that operates efficiently
on low-lead or no-lead gasolines,
hydraulic valve lifters for quiet
engine operation, power Iront
disc brakes and more.
Wilh one difference. The deals have never been better.
Which means that you can move out in a new Buick or
Opel at a price that's hard to believe.
When Buick talks about a bargain, we give you
something to believe in.

Your Buick-Opel dealer will give you better reasons
to buy a new car now than anybody else.
The business of auto safety.
Auto safety is everyone's concern. But it's our
business.
And we think the attention that's being paid to auto
safety now is a good thing. Because it will result in better
driving for everyone.
And. frankly, better driving for everyone means better
business for us.
' We say Buick is something to believe in. That's why
we're trying to make it easy to be safe by putting in safety
features that work by themselves. You don't have to do
anything to make them work.
Like side guard beams. And the energy absorbing
steering column. And the cargo guard between the
trunk and back seat. They start "working" even before
you get in the car.
But two safety features, two of the most vital, are
worthless unless you do something first
Seat and shoulder belts.
Unfastened they do nothing. And you've seen enough
statistics to know what a difference they can make. So
use them.
But thafs not all you can do. Because the most ef
fective safety feature of all can't be added to our cars
or anybody else's.
That feature is you. And the way you drive.
Which should be defensively. And rested. And sober.
We're all in this together. And together we can solve
the auto safety problem once and for all.
And the time is now.
