Area Square Dancers
Invited to Jamboree
Members of the Palmer
Square Dance Group have been
invited to attend a square dance
jamboree to be held at the Red
Barn, Mile 9 on the Seward High
way on Friday, October 26. The
Anchorage Square Dance Coun
cil, which extended the invita
tion, also invited the Seward
Gateway Swingers as well as
all other square dancers, to join
in helping make the janfboree a
big success.
Because the jamboree falls on
the regular dance night for the
Palmer group, there will be
square dancing as usual at Car
penters’ hall at 9 p.m. for those
who want to dance, but do not
feel they can go to Anchorage.

Hi § New Task'Force 57 Chevrolet Trucks !
Performance-proved in a history-making test
mi the ALCAN Highway to Alaska
The Alcan Highway is the road where trucks grow
old before their time. The road where gravel end
lessly sledgehammers the life out of trucks. Where
a fog of superfine dust chokes engines, and vicious
ruts subject chassis to months of wear in a few
hundred miles.
Six new ’5 7 Chevrolet trucks, heavily loaded with
cargo, roared north from Dawson Creek, B.C.,
through 1,520 miles, of mountains and mire, rain
and hail to Fairbanks, Alaska. Running around tho
clock, they made this tortuous trip-normally a
72-hour run-in less than 45 hours. As a special test
during the run, two of the trucks went the entire
distance without once having their engines stopped!
Come in and see how well these new Alcan
champs measure up to your job.

5000, 7000 and 8000, optional in Series 6000 ct extra
