Buy only from a well established reputable dealer. 3. Buy only from a dealer who maintains his own adequate facilities to service the car you buy. 4. Insist on a WARRANTY in writing that can be "backed- up." 5.

BUYING from a NEW CAR DEALER IS YOUR BEST BET Most new car dealers sell locally owned trade-ins, not Used Cars obtained from Auto Auctions or distress merchandise from large cities. 3. Insist on knotting where the Used Car came from. "Ask who was the previous owner." Most new car dealers will be happy to tell you and invite you to contact the previous owner. New Cars bought from Used Car Dealers REMEMBER, only the New Car Dealer is authorized to extend a FACTORY WARRANTY to a buyer, NO ONE ELSE.

F. M. MacPHERSON PENNSYLVANIA AND THE PENNS The rather sketchy biographical account of Thomas Penn, tha son of William Penn. the founder, 'and his second wife, Hannah Callowhill. is continued at this ime.

It might almost be said that Thomas Penn did more harm nan good in administering the af- airs of the family province. He cheated and defrauded the Indi- and helped to bring about years of disastrous border and managed to stir quite a bit of trouble in other direc ions. He ruled his clan with "an ron hand" and was the cause of more than one tragedy as in the case of his nephew, John Penn. After the death of his father, Thomas Penn considered himself the 'head of the family" and felt it be Ms duty to make his opinions and influence felt in all quarters. The results of his 'reign" speak for themselves.

JThomas Penn died March 21, 775, in England and was interred, vith other members of his fam- ly. in Stoke Poges Churchyard --famous as the burial place of the poet. Thomas Gray! The vital story of the Penn fam- ly and Pennsylvania began in he empty pockets of an impecunious King of England--Charles I. An unpaid debt of some 16,000 jolden pounds sterling vhich that monarch owed to Ad- Tiiral William Penn, was cancelled American real estate. William, he Quaker son of the old sea ighter.

inherited the debt and iquidated it for some 46.000 quare miles of forests which had never seen. ASSEMBLES 100 QUAKERS After he struck his epochal bar- ain with Penn spent early a year preparing to take jossession of his wooded empire. other things he assembled ome one hundred zealous Quak- rs and in August, 1682. feeling iat the moment had come, set ail for America in a ship named Welcome." During the voyage early a third of the passengers board the vessel died of small ox but in spite of this William 'enn and. those of his followers vho survived the trip, set to work vith a will to create a common- veahh out of the wilderness.

The story of just how well the super salesman," William Penn, ucceeded is too widely known to ear repeating. However, the Penn amily themselves have always Deen somewhat of a mystery in ertain respects. The following etails pertaining to the Penns taken, in the main, from otes compiled by the late Dr. Cook Myers. Penn "of Mmety." the raet-great-grandfather of the ounder.

One of the sons was another William--later to be register of the Church of Allhallows. Barking (London), was the place ci the baby's baptism 1644, October 23," William, son of William Penn, and Margaret, his wife, of the Tower Liberty." Even in childhood William Penn was religiously inclined, and although his family had always adhered to the established church of England, the son early came under occasional Puritan influences. After completing two years at Christ Church College. Oxford, he was expelled in 1662 on account of his nonconformist scruples and activities. This was, naturally, much to the chagrin and anger of his father, who next sent his son on a continental tour to wean him away from, his extreme religious inclinations.

In Paris young Penn seemed to be influenced, for a time, by court society- as his father Later, however, he (Penn) attended a Huguenot Academy and there acquired some ideas regarding "inward spiritual religion" not at all to his father's liking. RECALLED BY FATHER William Penn was recalled home by his father at the outbreak of the Dutch War (1665). In this conflict the son had a glimpse of naval activities, sailing with the fleet and returning with dispatches for the king. In this same year, however, his (Perm's) mind was again turned to serious contemplation by the horrors of the Great Plague. At the time he attended also Lincoln's Inn for aboirt a year--learning enough law to help tiim- later in business affairs and in meeting the legal issues of religious persecutions.

Early in the year 1666 William Penn went to Ireland, where he took charge of some estates near Cork, owned by his father. At this time, as he later wrote, he "again tasted worldly pleasures" at the brilliant court of the Duke of Orrnande, lord lieutenant Ireland. He also showed some military ability in helping to quell a mutiny. It was at this time that the well-known portrait of Penn in armor was painted. The great turning point in the life of William i5 Penn was, lowever, at hand.

He heard again ihe powerful preaching of Thoms Lee. an early Quaker apostle, who had influenced him some years before. As he continued to attend the meetings of the Friends he i Penn' was soon in trouble with the authorities and vas. for a time, in prison. While there he composed his first appeal for liberty of conscience.

Released from prison and summoned sharply to England by his father, he soon became an avowed and acthe Friend. With tongue and pen he vigorously advocated the doctrines of that sect.
