Waiting is tough
on us, too
For month we've been hoping to present each
and every one of you with the new Pnckurds
you've ordered, and have been waiting for so
patiently.
Last fall, the outlook was good. Packard was
onfident it would doublt its pre-war output
in 1946. (The factory is equipped to turn out
far more than that.)
look whaf has happened!
Then came material shortages. Parts shortages.
For reasons completely beyond its own control,
Packard was able to keep its assembly line
moving only nine Jays in the first quarter of
this year.
In the meantime . . .
Our friends have kept culling us up and asking,
"llcyl Where's that new Puckard I ordered
weeks ago?" Many ol these are old Iricnds
Puckard owners since 'wuy buck.

new Packards are now driving some other make.
Honest, it's gotten so we hate to answer the
telephone or look our friends in the face. But . .
Your patience will pay off
One of these days, the shortage of parts and
materials is bound to ease up. And when it
does, those twin-assembly lines at Packard will
really roll.
Anyway, you can depend on this:
As fast as the factory ships cars to us. we'll
do everything we can to deliver yours at the

So, we hope you'll be patient a little longer.
We're doing the best we can, and so are the

Veteran planning to take ad

ply for a certificate of eligibility
immediately, Zeno Dent, veler-!

"If too many last-minute ap
plication are received, veterans
planning to go to college this
fall may find that their applica- j
tion cannot be processed in i
time for prompt payment of al-'
lowances, ' Dent said. "The pos
sibility of delay will be virtually
eliminated, however, if they are !
completed now."
Applcation forms for educa- I
tlon or training may be obtained :
in this area either by writing or
contacting the Dent office of the :
veterans administration, Klam
ath Falls. I
The certificate of eligibility is I
the basis on which the VA
makes payment for tuition, fee, !
supplies and subsistence allow- j
ances," Dent said, "and while -the
VA does not require a cer-!
tificate of eligibility before en-;
rolling, many school request it '
before admitting veterans." 1
Subsistence allowances are
payable from the date the veter-1
an enters training, provided he
na already applied lor such
training and enter an approved
educational institution or train
