Jewish communities by the Coun-

a national budgeting committee
which would determine the de-

In Milwaukee the decision was
registered by the board of direc-

Welfare Fund, which is the or-

community, by a vote of 31 to 1.
The Milwaukee leadership there-

to a proposal which would mean
the establishment of ratios for
all national and overseas agencies.
The community of Sioux City
acted similarly by a vote of 39

to make allocations remain the

The Jewish Federation of Tren-

Pittsburgh Repects

A-

The Jewish community of Pitts-
burgh, rejecting the proposal for
the establishment of a national
budgeting committee to determine
ratios for national and overseas
agencies applying to local Wel-
fare Funds for support, adopted
resolution calling upon the
Council of Jewish Federations
and Welfare Funds to abandon
the current referendum among its
member agencies with regard to
the establishment of a national
budgeting committee.
Pittsburgh's action was taken
at a joint meeting of the board
of directors of the Pittsburgh
Federation of ,Jewish Charities,
and of the United Jewish Fund.
In the board of the Federation
the vote was 10 against the ma-
jority proposal recommended by
the Board of Directors of the
Council of Federations, and 3 in
favor. Among the board of direc-
tors of the United Jewish Fund
the vote was 11 against the pro-
posal and 3 in favor.
The committee on the referen-
dum, which is in favor of the
minority report, announced that

THE FINE CAR WITH THE LOW PRICE

ONLY $25 MORE FOR AN EIGHT IN ANY MODEL!

PERHAPS YOU'VE SEEN the new

Pontiac "Torpedo" described as "the
Fine Car with the Low Price" and
wondered a little hit about that statement.
You can accept the "fine car" part without
any doubt, we believe—especially if you've

examined a new Pontiac.
That "low price" part may stop you, how-
es cr. Can the new Pontiac—one of the smartest-
looking, easiest-riding cars on the road today—

actually be low-priced? Well, here are the facts:
Pontiac prices begin at $828•. A new 1941
Pontiac "Torpedo" will cost you so little more
than the "lowest-priced three" that the differ-
ence will amount to only a very few dollars per
month. What's more, Pontiac's economy of
operation and upkeep permits you to drive for
practically the same money that a lesser car
requires.
Yes, the new Pontiac, with its Body by Fisher,

has earned the title, "the Fine Car with the Low
Price." Try a new Pontiac before you put your
money in something less desirable.
