Whatever your tastes and re
quirements in a motor car may
be, you’ll find in Ford’s new and ;
wider range of cars for 1955 a
model that fulfills your needs
with brillance and distinction, ac
cording to Hartley Motors, Inc.
of Palmer.
Ford’s styling for 1955 is com
pletely new and fresh. The crisp,
clean lines that characterize the
’55 Fords were inspired by the
Thunderbird, the brilliant new
personal car by Ford. Fleet new
responsiveness in every Ford
for ’55 stems from Ford’s new
Trigger-Torque Power—the kind
of power that gives you the in
stant action needed for tody’s
driving. Then, too, there’s Fora's
new Angle-Poised Ride that
makes even the smooth roads
seem smoother.
When the Ford Thunderbird
was first exhibited, it created a
veritable sensation. No personal
car before it ever combined such
long, low, exciting lines, such
comfortable and attractive in
teriors with the jet-like respon
siveness of Trigger-Torque Pow
er and the road-hugging corner
ing of Ball-Joint ride. Thrilling
attributes of the Thunderbird
are reflected in the characteris
tics of all Ford cars for 1955.
In Ford's Fairline series the
Crown Victoria features smart
two-tone body colors and care
fully placed exterior trim that
distinguish all models in the
Ford Fairline series for 1955. In
addition to the “hard-top” model,
the Crown Victoria carries the
style distinction of the “skylight”
top. The entire front section of
the car roof is tinted transparent
panel. Ford's Sunline and Fair
lane Victoria; the Fairlane Sedan,
and Club Sedan complete the
Fairlane series.
Customline series features two
distinctive new sedans, including
a two-door and four-door sedan
with choice of Y-block V-8 or I
block Six engine; Fordomatic,
overdrive or conventional trans
missions and power assists in
cluding steering, power brakes,
power seat and power windows
on Fordor.
Three smartly practical new
body styles are featured in the
Mainline series: Mainline Fordor
Sedan; Mainline Tudor Sedan;
and the Business Sedan.
Ford Station Wagons for 1955
presents five new, all-steel, do-it
all beauties. A wide range of
BILL WOULD ALLOW LEGISLATORS
TO SEEK ELECTION TO CONVENTION
'embers of the territorial leg
’s ture would be permitted to
k election as delegates to a
constitutional convention and
serve at the convention if elect
under the terms of a bill in
roduced this week by Delegate
o Congress, E. L. Bartlett. The
1955 legislature has called for a
constitutional convention in No
vember of this year.
Three Alaska bills were in
troduced in the House this week
and one in the Senate relating to
the mentally ill of Alaska, the
right of the territory to bond
itself and the services at the con
vention of the territorial legis
lature.
Mrs. Edith S. Green, member
of the House from Oregon, intro
duced two bills identical with
those introduced by Senator Neu
berger of Oregon earlier this
session and similar to measures i
sponsored by Delegate Bartlett !
transferring to' the Department j
of Health, Education and Wel
fare from the Interior Depart
ment the responsibility for the
care of Alaska’s mentally ill and
authorizing the construction of a
mental hospital in the Territory.
he hospital construction bill )
also states that after the passage
choice is offered In four-door or
two-door . . . six passenger or
eight . . . V-8 engine or Six. The
Country Squire has four doors
and room for eight passengers.
Mahogany-grain-finished panels
are framed with wood-grained
glass fiber molding. The Ranch
Wagon is a two-door, six-pas
senger featuring simple, clean
cut exteriors—and a choice of
two long-wearing, woven plastic
or vinyl upholstery combina
tions. The six-passenger Country
Sedan is ideal for those who pre
fer six-passenger roominess with
the convenience of four doors.
With Stowaway-seat down there
is room for three—and king-size
loads. -The extra-colorful interi
ors of the six-passenger, two
door, Custom Ranch Wagon har
monize with attractive single or
two-tone body colors. As in the
Country Squire, there Is room
for eight or all your freight in
the smart eight-passenger Coun
try Sedan. Four doors and con
venient folding center seat give
easy access for all eight passen
gers.
of the legislation the Secretary
of Health, Education and Wel
fare would report to the Congress
as to the feasibility of transfer
ing the federal responsibility for
the care and treatment of Alas
ka’s mentally ill to the territorial
government and would be per
mitted to submit any proposed
legislation to carry out the rec
ommendations in the report.
The bonding bill, introduced
by Senator Jackson of Washing
ton, would permit the Territory
to incur bonded indebtedness for
public improvements in the am
ount of $10 million. It is similar
in all respects to one introduced
earler by Delegate Bartlett with
the exception that the letter’s
measure would allow indebted
ness in the amount of $12^ mil
lion. Both measures provide for
borrowing in emergencies on cer
tificates of indebtedness in an
amount not to exceed $200,000 to
meet situations which might
arise should the legislature not
6e in session.
Operation “Over-haul” saw at
large number of military person
nel in the Palmer area this past
week-end. Ini addition to hun
dreds of vehicles which came in
to the valley, a large number of
men were flown into the area,
landing on the Palmer Airport.
