SECTION II
Boy Scout Council’s Rose Parade Float
Features Memories of Nation’s History
Memories of the founding of our nation, in the thought that the ideals of that day may be passed on to future generations, are featured in the Southern California Boy Scouts Council float in the Pasadena Tournament of Roses parade on New Year's Day, according to Leon Kinglsen, president of the tournament.
The entry, which will be called "Dreaming of a Free Future," ties in with the 1952 parade theme, "Dreams of the Future." Three Boy Scouts, an Explorer, a Cub and a Regular, will be on the flowered float, representing the Boy Scouts of America and every den and troop in Southern California.
Hundreds of thousands of Boy Scouts throughout the nation, as well as millions of their elders, will see the float in action, as the parade will be televised nationally for the first time. The float will compete with 59 others, 20 bands and 200 horsemen in the annual flower fete.
The Scouts, designing and building their own float, have chosen as their symbol the Liberty Bell, which will be five feet high, and will be supported by a huge arch. A float slogan will be "Forward on Liberty's Team." The Scout insignia tops the arch. The Explorer and the Regular stand at each end of the arch, with the Cub at the front. White chrysanthemums will perdominate in the floral decoration. The float is 20 feet long, 12 feet wide and 15 feet high.

The newest Silver Streak models are offered with six and eight cylinder high compression engines, each series having five standard and five deluxe models, and one super deluxe, the Catalina.
Throughout the entire line a number of innovations have been made in ornamentation which quickly distinguish the 1952 models from their predecessors. There is a revised edition of the characteristic Pontiac Indian head hood ornament, modifications of the radiator grille, and other changes in the belt moulding, trunk handles and interior fittings.
New Transmission Idea
While these and other appearance changes combine to distinguish the new models, the highlight among new Pontiac features is the Dual-Range Hydra-Matic Drive. The owner of the new 1952 model is provided with two completely optional driving ranges, each having individual characteristics which make it suitable for two different classes of driving conditions.
One of these systems provides the usual first, second, third and fourth gear speed range permitting smooth, economical performance for country and boulevard driving. The second is a new first, second and third gear range particularly adapted for driving in congested traffic or mountainous territory.
When driving in the 1-2-3 traffic or mountain range, the car will normally remain in third gear and cannot shift into fourth except at tions—1-2-3-4 gear range is to the left of DR and the 1-2-3 range is to the right side of the DR position.
Simple to Operate
Typical use of the dual-range is cited by the engineers as follows: the car may be driving along a fairly level road in the 1-2-3-4 range and hit a hilly section which makes it desirable to shift into traffic range. All that is necessary is to move the control lever to the right side of the DR position.
If it is desired to shift down to a lower gear ration, where conditions call for maximum downshift acceleration, pressing the accelerator pedal completely will accomplish the shift in either drive range. When in the left hand or 1-4 range with the car speed below 60 miles per hour, the transmission will automatic-for third gear. When in the traffic or 1-3 drive range, and at a car speed below 20 miles per hour, the transmission will automatically shift down to second gear.
Another improvement in the new Pontiac Dual-Range Hydra-Matic concerns the LO range. This has now been changed so that with the control lever at "LO", start and drive will be in second gear only, providing a surer start on icy pavements. Should first gear operation be desired at a car speed of 10 miles per hour or less, such as in heavy sand or mud, automatic shift to first gear results when the accelerator pedal is fully depressed.

fourth gear speed range permitting smooth, economical performance for country and boulevard driving. The second is a new first, second and third gear range particularly adapted for driving in congested traffic or mountainous territory.
When driving in the 1-2-3 traffic or mountain range, the car will normally remain in third gear and cannot shift into fourth except at very high speeds. According to the engineers, this gives greater flexibility in normal city traffic, provides engine braking in mountains or on steep hills, and because of the greater reduction in the gear box allows for a lower ratio rear axle. This permits the car to accelerate more quickly and at the same time assists in braking, a safety factor and a marked contribution to longer brake life.
Economy Measure
In the 1-4 range, most forward driving or cruising is done in the fourth gear speed which brings the new 3.08 to 1 rear axle into full economy service. The new axle ratio is a 15 per cent lower reduction than the previous 3.64 to 1 which results in corresponding reduction in engine revolutions per mile of travel. The result is quieter operation, improved fuel economy on the highway and driving more nearly approaches the effect of "coasting."
Selection of either of the drive ranges is made, without reference to the speed of the car, by moving the Hydra-Matic Selector Lever into the desired driving position. The gear shift indicator has been redesigned in the new cars so that the driver will have no difficulty in making his selection. The drive (DR) range is split into two positions with the control lever at "LO", start and drive will be in second gear only, providing a surer start on icy pavements. Should first gear operation be desired at a car speed of 10 miles per hour or less, such as in heavy sand or mud, automatic shift to first gear results when the accelerator pedal is fully depressed.
New 'Rocking' Device
Smoother shifting has been attained in the new transmission through the introduction of a new timing valve in the valve body, and it is easier to "rock" the car in sand, mud or snow because the shift is more readily made from "LO" to "R" due to the introduction of an exhaust valve in the rear servo.
In connection with the new Dual-Range Hydra-Matic Drive, Pontiac moves into top position in the industry with the high engine compression ratio of 7.7 to 1. With this compression ratic power output has been increased and advantage taken of the high octane fuels now commercially available of 6.8 to 1 for use with regular fuel in connection with Dual-Range power transmission, is available at the option of the purchaser.

Anaheim Y’s Men Ready to Open Christmas Tree Lot Tomorrow
With more than 1000 trees to choose from, the Christmas tree lot of the Anaheim Y’s Men’s club will open for business tomorrow morning.
Located on the southwest corner of Lemon and Chestnut sts. (directly across from the Safeway market) the lot represents the clubmen's first venture in the Christmas tree business.
All proceeds from the sale of trees go toward the extension of the Y program in Anaheim, an active going youth program currently utilized by more than 500 elementary and teen-aged youths of the community.
The lot, to be manned by volunteer members of the club, will open each morning at 9 a.m. and remain open until 9 p.m. on each day but Sunday until Dec. 22. The trees, purchased through a central supply of quality trees arranged for by Y’s Men’s clubs in other Southland cities, will arrive in two shipments. Similar projects are now being carried on by Y’s Men’s clubs in Santa Ana, Newport this year, the club is led by President Dave Collins. Current Christmas tree operations are under the joint direction of members Jim Morris and Harold Schneider.
Florida Shippers Declare ‘Holiday’
Citrus marketing committees in Florida have declared a “shipping holiday” on all varieties effective Dec. 21 to Jan. 1, according to word received today by Mutual Orange Distributors.
From Jan. 1 to Jan. 6 shipments will be limited to oranges with a 25.6 caliper measurement. This would eliminate size 288. Effective next Monday oranges shipped from Florida will be restricted by grade to U.S. No. 2 and better.
A grower move to allow grove run fruit to be shipped in bulk in inter-state commerce was rejected, the report from Florida stated. The shipping holiday
