Dear Editor:
The observance of Human
t&gibis Day on December 10 by
many national and local groups
not only commemorates the an
niversary of the adoption of the
Universal Declaration of Human
Slights by the United Nations'
General Assembly, but marks a
decade of effort here and abroad
to obtain recognition of these
lights as a moral obligation in
every country and territory.
In the past, the efforts of the
United States have been notable.
Our statesmen incorporated a
Bill of Rights in our own consti
*totion. In the lifetime of many of
«nur citizens, another American
.statesman conceived the League
uf Nations as the world’s initial '
•effort to protect the rights of all j
-peoples. Later it was our states
;men who were chiefly respon
sible for the more effective Un
ited Nations.
In future efforts, we look to
America to take an even greater
lead in establishing an interna
tional order which will assure the
qua! rights of all peoples. Truly

Four tig reasons why
FORD
IS OUTSELLING
ALL OTHER *59 CARS
AT THE BRUSSELS WORLD’S FAIR, the 59 Fords were
awarded the Gold Medal for handsome new styling
elegance by the Comite Francais de l’Elegance.
ANYONE CAN HI IN A FORD: Our cars are built for
people—full-size people who want space to stretch
out. And all passengers ride in deep-cushion comfort.
i
YOU’LL BE THANKFUL EVERY TANKFUL if you buy the
new Ford, for you’ll save up to a dollar a tankful
with new engines that run superbly on regular gas.

THE FAMOUS FORD LOW PRICES have already made a
hit, because only in Fords will you find value and
beauty coming together at down-to-earth prices!
The world's best-selling
car is the car with
Thunderbird elegance
In the greatest styling decision of the
year, the American public has already
shown a clear preference for the new
Fords. Ford sales are way ahead of all
competition. Why? One reason is the
classic simplicity of their Thunderbird
inspii'ed design—clean, crisp lines that
are pure automobile! And Fords are
built for people—to sit ip, to drive, to
ride in—with comfort.
The car in hottest demand
across the land has greater
roominess and comfort
Thousands ol customers have bought
the new Ford over all competition for
another compelling reason—it’s a true
six-passenger car. {The only four
passenger car we recommend is the
Thunderbird ! ) All six Ford passengers
get plenty of every kind of room—
from leg and hfcad to elbow and hip.
Rear seat passengers don’t feel like
they're riding with their feet in a bucket!
The No. 1 car in sales
saves money on gas, on oil,
on maintenance bills
A new Ford will save you up to 5e a
gallon on gas. Thai’s because both
standard engines—Six or Thunderbird
V-8—thrive on regular gas. And Ford
saves on oil, too, with a Full-Flow Oil
Filter as standard equipment. Drive
4000 miles betwreen oil changes! And
you can forget about waxing your car.
Ford’s Diamond Lustre Finish stays
gleaming bright without waxing—ever!
The most popular American
car is priced as much as
$102.75 lower
Ford costs you less right down the line
than the competition. Compare price
tags and you’ll see that the manufac
turer’s suggested retail price of a Ford,
equipped with radio, heater and auto
matic transmission, is as much as
$102.75 less than the major com
petition! And on an air-conditioned
car, you can save up to $219.85, So
compare and sate on a 1959 Ford!
