latter, and weasels equipped with
these devices usually preceded a
train of tractors resulting in them
being successful, in 98 percent of
the time, in detecting them. Some
of the crevasses were 176 feet deep,
he said. Due to them, these trains
travelled only a distance of one
qiiarter mile a day.

He then went on to describe how
the morale of the men in such iso

were kept up. Good food ranked
high, he said. It was served family

were greater than that for a thresh

bies and pursuits, painting, cards,
etc. “Raising a flag was a frequent
event,” he said.
Considerable oandy was eaten
between meals, sometimes an av
erage of 15 pounds per man.
The Antarctic, he said, has its
mirages. He illustrated this with a
picture of what appeared to be a
rugged coastline of high cliffs,
which was merely a mirage.
Describing the land as cold, blue
death, he asked: “Why do men go
to a place like the Antarctic?” He
said he found there beauty found
no where else in the world. He said
it was a photographers paradise,
with the scene changing continu
ally. Also, he said, it was adventure
that drew men to it.

in addition to Dr. Hedblom, were

Fresh Start!
The cars people remember—the idea-starters, the trend-setters—throw away all the old ideas, start fresh...
and make history. Such a car is coming from Ford in a few weeks. You’ll recognize the name—but that's all
that’s the same! It’s an all-new kind of Ford... right size... right price... right between Galaxie and Falcon.
We borrowed the name
from one of yesterday’s
^ ^ famous Fords—the Fairlane
c500. And we borrowed
absolutely nothing else.
The new Ford Fairlane 500 is a com
pletely new size—right between Galaxie
and Falcon. For just about everybody it’s
just the right size . .. with the room, the
ride, the comfort of a big car... the econ
omy and easy handling of a small one.
The new Ford Fairlane 500 has a com
pletely new price—right between Galaxie
and Falcon. For just about everybody it’s
just the right price—well below previous
Fairlanes, under many compacts.
Unique new size—like no other
new car you've seen this year
The new Ford Fairlane 500 is a foot
shorter than the Fairlanes that came
before it. You zip through traffic, park in
places that used to be off limits.
A just-right 197 inches from stem to
stern, the new Ford Fairlane 500 is still
as big inside as some of the biggest Fords
ever built. The explanation is a com
pletely new unitized body which shaves
bulk, saves room.
Twice-a-year maintenance
Twiee-a-year maintenance is now a fact.
Routine service has been reduced to a
minimum—30,000 miles on many items,
no more than twice a year or 6,000 miles
on the rest. You go 30,000 miles between
major lubrications, 6,000 miles between
oil changes and minor lubrications. Go
two years—or 30,000miles—without chang
ing engine coolant-antifreeze. The car ad
justs its own brakes.
New V-8 gem from the worlds
most dazzling collection
Its name is the Challenger V-8. The
world’s newest Eight, it was designed spe
cifically for the Fairlane 500. Thirty years
of Fora V-8 leadership inspired it; new
Ford foundry techniques made it possible.
Drive it. You’re in for a powerful sur
prise; the hand that honed those big
Thunderbird V-8’s put the final polish
on this one. But perhaps the biggest sur
prise of all is the Challenger V-8’s thrift.
For those who want even greater
savings, there is a new Fairlane Six that
delivers gasoline mileage many compacts
would envy.
Preview America’s newest car now
Teams of new Fords are on the move from
coast to coast as part of Preview Run
U.S.A. See and drive the all-new
Fairlane 500 in advance of introduction.
I t’s the first car so fine ever priced _„
so low. You’ll find it at your
Ford Dealer’s in a few weeks.
