Naturally we like to hear people talking about
Pontiac's new low price Pontine value is
something to talk about.
But it gives us even more pleasure to tell a
new car buyer the full story of Pontiac's all
nnd goodness goodness which is far be
yond Pontiac's modest price.
There's nothing better than Pontiac for
beauty Pontiac is the most beautiful thing
performance than either one of Pontiac's
famous, power-packed Silver Streak engines.
And no car has a better road record for
dependability and economy.
Today's Pontiacs are so big so good so
beautiful that they create a completely new
idea of what your new car dollars can buy.

on wheels! Nothing offers more satisfying Come in and see for yourself.

County Employment
Continued Upward
Trend Last Month
Employment in Jackson coun
ty is maintaining Its upward
trend, it was reported here yes
terday by the Medford office of
the state employment service.
As of April 30, there were 12
per cent fewer idle workers here
than at the same date a year ago.
There were 1,400 unemployed
the last day of April 26 per
cent less than in March.
The employment service said
that while the total number of
unemployed has steadily de
creased, an increasingly large
proportion of the total is made
up of people who have lived
here a year or less.
John J. Pattern, manager of
the local office, said this indi
cates that new arrivals should
expect considerable delay in
finding employment. Migration
into this area is on the increase
again and will have a major ef
fect on the amount of unemploy
ment through the summer
months, he said.
The migration he referred to
is made ud entirely of persons
seeking permanent locations here
and does not include transient
seasonal labor.
The Medford office expects
that the demand for help in the
county should increase consid
erably in May with a peak
reached sometime in September,
somewhat later than usual. The
local labor supply appears to
be adequate for all foreseeable
needs., according to Patton.
