first stages of disaster work have
been provided eligible agencies.
Types of supplies available for
use range from fire trucks to
blood transfusion units and blan
ket®. according to the Anchor

by Territorial CD Director Har
old Pomeroy, the non-war emer

bi-monthly reports on personnel

Pomeroy said the extended pro

indicates a steadily improving op

Fortier credited volunteer CD
officials with making the expan

“The willingness of district

time, equipment and money in
hauling and storing these essen
tial emergency supplies is a tri
bute to the Alaskan spirit,” said
Fortier.

LIFEGUARD DESIGN
Lifeguard Design is the first compre
hensive contribution to driver and pas
senger safety in case of accident.
Two years ago, Ford set out to deter
mine the causes of car-accident injuries
... so a safer car could be built. Hun
dreds of actual car-to-car accidents were
staged and the results were minutely re
corded by high-speed motion picture
cameras and modern electronic devices.
Also, Ford engineers consulted pio
neers in the field of crash injuries at uni
versities, medical colleges and state police
headquarters. This research showed that
over half of the serious car-accident in
juries came from occupants being thrown
against the steering post, against hard
interior surfaces, or thrown out of the car.
To guard you and your family against
these major hazards, Ford developed
Lifeguard Design ... a whole new
family of safety features described below.
Visit your Ford Dealer and see all the
Lifeguard features in a new '56 Ford.
Then take a Test Drive . . . and you’ll
know why people are saying, “Ford’s the
fine car at half the fine-car price!”
Come in and Test Drive the FINE CAR AT HALF THE FINE-CAR PRICE!
