Other outstanding expressions claiming attention were as follows: Leasure hour and neighborhood work "A new kind of parents is needed. Parents should be educated in their responsibility to children of today." Church and social work "Great need exists for closer co operation with existing social agencies. Prejudices are often at the root of lack of co operation." Housing conditions "Crime, immorality and ill health were charged as direct result of poor housing. Municipalities must take greater interest in the situation.

Small communities are worse offenders than large cities." Pennsylvania's corrective system "Imperitive need of trained parole officers." Family social service "Scranton unique in having representative oeonle on boards who show great interest in the work." Prevention of blindness "Twenty five percent of blindness traced directly to vice districts in cities. Fifteen percent of blindness due to industrial accidents.

The highest January production in the history of the Oakland Motor Car Company 19,774 Oakland and Pontiac Sixes is being eclipsed by a record February production schedule of 22,268 cars, it is announced by W.

R. Trcey, vice president in charge of sales. "The fct that our totals for both January and February of this year exceed by a wide margin the combined 1926 and 1927 production during those respective months is the best evidence that the Oakland Motor Car Campany will be an even greater factor in the automobile industry during said Mr. Tracy. "Our schedule for the present month is not a theoretical figure: it is based upon the signed orders sent in by our dealers.

"The Oakland Motor Car Comnany sold 191,000 Oakland and Pontiac Sixes during 1927, which represented an increase of more than 40 per cent over th tota. of the preceding year. If the demar.u for motor cars continues as its present hkh level we confidently expect that in 1928 the volume of Oakland Pontaic business again will show a 40 per cent increase. "The continued popularity of the Oakland All Amerioan Six and the enthusiastic public reception accorded the new Pontaic Six, with its many improvements and new eatures, indicate that our hope of bettering tho national position of fifth in point of sales Oakland achieved last year is in proce: of Russell Motor Car Company in the local agent for Oakland Pontaic cars.
