THIS MONTH'S COVER: In painting Coronet's nostalgic March cover, artist JIM LOCKHART didn't have to look far for models: he found them right in his own home. The delighted -- and delightful -- children are his son and daughter, David, 4, and Patricia, 7; and the genial driver of the sleigh is their grandfather, Leland Lockhart, who came up from the South for a visit in Chicago and unexpectedly found himself the central figure in a wintry scene. Incidentally, it was while studying engineering at the University of Arkansas that the younger Lockhart first took up art. A stint as art editor of the college yearbook was enough to turn him from his chosen vocation.

[NOTE: STARTING WITH THIS ISSUE, CORONET issues have advertisements from "Representative Advertisers" as the note says below!]
AN ANNOUNCEMENT: To insure our readers an ever-better magazine, Coronet with this issue opens its pages to a limited number of representative advertisers.
