GRAND EXALTED RULER OF
ELKS ENDORSES
NAT'L NEWSPAPER WEEK
The statement of Grand Ex
alted Ruler James follows:
“I have asked the 1,100,000
members of the Order of Elks
in 1667 lodges in every state and
territory of the U.S. to partici
pate with the nation’s press in
observance of National Ncws
New Winter Rates To
McKinley Nat'l Park
Winter excursion rates on The
Alaska Railroad to Mt. McKin
ley National Park are in effect,
E. J. Kunz, railroad traffic man
ager, has announced.
The new rate plan will be
continued throughout the winter
months and it marks the first
time the railroad has been able
to offer the reduced tariffs on
a full week basis.
Mr. Kunz said the fares on
the daily AuRoRa to Mt. McKin
ley Park will be equivalent to
a round trip ticket for the price
of a one-way ticket. The tariff
from Anchorage to McKinley is
to be $16.10, including tax, for
the round trip. From Fairbanks
the round trip ticket costs $8.45.
The railroad has previously
offered excursion fares on spe
cial occasions and for weekend
events, it was pointed out, but
this is the first time that Alas
kans can take advantage of the
tariff throughout the week.
The return limit on excursion
tickets is 10 days, Kunz said,
allowing a visitor adequate time
to vacation in the national park.
The railroad's action followed
on the heels of a new winter
rate schedule established by
McKinley Park Services, Inc.,
at the park hotel.
paper Week October 1 to 8 as
an effective means of strength
ening freedom of the press—
keystone of American Constitu
tional liberties.
“The provision for freedom
of the press was not included in
the original Constitution adopt
ed by the 13 states. It is signi
ficant that the guarantee of a
free press was one of the spe
cific guarantees demanded by
the people; and added to the
Constitution in the first ten
amendments, which make up
our Bill of Rights. They re
alized then, as too many fail
to realize today, that a press
that was free to seek out and
publish the truth was indispens
able to the protection of all li
berties, a safeguard against tyr
anny and corruption, and a ne
cessity for the successful con
duct of self-government.
“Experience has confirmed
their wisdom, and yet, in recent
years, we have seen an increas
ing number of attempts to whit
tle away this vital freedom
Public officials, local, state and
national, here and there have
attempted to withhold public in
formation from the press. State
and city lawmakers have sought
to enact legislation to restrict
the freedom of the press, or to
handicap it in its mission of
keeping dhe people informed.
Censorship necessary to the na
tional security has been misused
to conceal negligence and
wrong-doing.
“The real victims of any at
tempt to curb the freedom of
the press are the people, and all
such attempts are directed not
at the press, but at the people,
their liberty, their right io know
and be informed.
“Instead of restricting the
press, we must make sure that
it has the widest freedom to in
quire into the public business
and to report to the people. The
people everywhere must make it
clear that they will not tolerate
the slightest infringement of this
precious freedom.
“I earnestly hope that every
Lodge of Elks will join in the
observance of National News
paper Week, to support the press
of its community in upholding
to the fullest the American prin
ciple of a free press."
SEWARD LODGE JOINS
NATION-WIDE SALUTE
The Seward Elks Lodge will
observe National Newspaper
Week October 1-8 as part of a
nation-wide salute to the press
by Elks lodges throughout the
country, Russell Painter, Exalt
ed Ruler, announced today.
Featuring the Elks program
will be a tribute to the press of
this community, carrying out
the Newspaper Week slogan,
“An informed press means an
informed people,’VPaintcr said.
The program is being planned
by a special committee.
“Earl E. James, Grand Ex
alted Ruler of the Benevolent
and Protective Order of Elks,
has declared that a free press
is the keystone of American
liberties, and asked all Elks
lodges to join in observing Na
tional Newspaper Week in order
to strengthen the principle of a
free press and to combat efforts
to restrict this freedom,” the
Exalted Ruler said. “We strong
ly support this stand, and join
enthusiastically in saluting the
independent press of our com
munity and of the nation.”

Duplicating America’s costliest cars, feature after feature, Ford is worth
more when you buy it . . . worth more when you sell it!
A FEW MINUTES on the tele
phone calling the dealers who
sell America’s finest cars will
reveal there arc at least eleven models
among four makes with price tags
over $4,000!
Now the interesting thing is that
in feature after feature the Ford car
duplicates each of these fine cars, and
for less than half the fine car price!
f Look under the hood of the most
expensive cars and what do you find?
.4 1-8 Engine!
'Veil, the Ford car has a V-8, too. In
fact, it has had a V-8 since 1932, and
since that time Ford has built more
V-S’s - by millions — than all other
manufacturers combined. And there's
no other builder in Ford's price range
that’s seen fit to offer one yet!
But the engine, as fine as it is, is
only one of many things that make
a fine car fine.
_+**
Automatic shifting, for example.
All the fine cars offer it in one form
or another because it’s one of the
things that make a fine car fine. But
if you’ve never driven a Ford with
l ordomatic you’ve missed one of the
finer things of life. This amazing
transmission not only does away with
clutching and shifting forever —it
T.C.A. ~. • • —.'
gives you exactly the amount of
power you want, when you want it
—automatically.
Fine car power steering, too. The
big, heavy costly cars offer it for the
same reason they offer power brakes.
It’s a man-sized job for a 120 pound
woman to handle a car weighing two
tons or more without it—especially
when parking. Our "Master-Guide”
has two distinct benefits.
First, it gives a hydraulic power
assist right down at the wheels and
just enough to take out the work. You
don’t relinquish one particle of con
trol—rather your control is more com
plete and far easier.
Second, being hydraulic, "Master
Guide” power steering absorbs those
fatiguing steering wheel tremors
caused by ruts and roads in bad
repair. And you don’t pay a fine car
price for "Master-Guide."
But there is another fine car fea
ture—the Ford ride. Books have
been written on the subject of riding
quality in an automobile, but the
payoff comes on the pavement — or
lack of itI Many people associate a
comfortable ride with excess weight,
but it’s not weight alone that makes
for comfort. If it were, those big five
ton trucks which you see every day
would be the most comfortable ve
hicles on the road.
Without being technical we can
tell you that what’s been done with
the suspension and springing system
gives the Ford a softer ride, a
smoother ride than many cars which
tip the scales at better than an added
half ton.
What about room? Here’s an inter
esting point. If you’ve felt that only
a costly car offered enough room, you
just ought to sit down in a Ford even
if you’re out-size and six feet four!
The so-called big car is bigger on the
outside, but unless you buy a limou
sine with those little jump seats, it’s
not one passenger bigger inside.
Visibility is another fine car Ford
feature. We say Ford cars offer “full
circle” visibility because they all have
huge, curved one-piece windshields
and a huge rear window to match...
plus side windows that mean every
passenger gets room with a view!
How beautiful is a Ford? A great
English poet, John Keats, once wrote
“Beauty is Truth, Truth Beauty”—
well, he could have been writing
about our car for its beauty’ comes
from honest, clean lines in every
dimension. In fact, we think most
people agree—even our competitors
—that the appearance of ft Ford Car \
leaves very little to be desired. It is i
“at home” wherever it goes and it
goes everywhere. ^
But what about Ford qualityf
Does it too match the fine car? Is the
sheet metal of the body panels as
thick? Is the finish as good? How
about the trim and things like that?
"’ell, as far as we can determine, the
sheet metal is identical in thickness
in practically all instances. As to
finish —we believe Ford’te baked-on
enamel has no equal in any car. Ford
upholstery fabrics and trim are less
costly, but they’re less delicate, too,
and if anything, more durable.
How then is it possible to give you
this fine car at half the fine car price?
Part of the answer lies in Ford
manufacturing skills and knowledge
as evidenced by the V-8 engine. Part
of it comes from the ever increasing
numbers of cars Ford produces and
the economies they make possible.
And, part of it comes from Ford's
willingness to give greater values
than might be expected in cars sell
ing in Ford’s price range. And that’s. --
