Egad, Hoople's Lost Again
A Kay of Sunshine has boon
the Nemesis of many a pilot. Ac
cording to Noah Webster, ‘ Nem
esis" is. ‘‘Justice, especially re
tribution, allotted to every man
according to his deeds."
How many times has “Major
Hoople" been plugging along
under marginal conditions look
ing for real cause to turn back
or go on?
| "Oh man." says lie. “Look
at that sunshine over there. Mo
thinks 1 11 go over and climb on
top to have a look-see."
Now What?
"Ah. that’s a nice break in
the clouds, things look inviting.
The hill tops are easy to spot,
and those occasional breaks will
get me back down again. What
am I waiting for?"
Minutes Later
"Let me see now; that should
be Mt. Whatsit—but no—it
should be much higher; this
one’s only half as high. Maybe
it’s the hilly country just north
of Last Chance Creek. Golly!
That’d be about 40 miles north
of my course—but it's gotta be
Last Chance. I'll change my
heading and go this way for a
while.”

bits.
“Hmmmm. Lonesome here.
Two chocolate bars and one's
half gone. . . . Man, I must’ve
been nervous, the cigarettes are
almost gone. . . . Sure glad I
had a hunch to bring this jacket
. . . . What the dickens happened
to that other mitten? . . . The one
without the hole in the thumb
"This blasted frozen wood is
hard to light. . . . Well anyway
that lousy lighter never was any
good. . . . Wonder if 10th Rescue
knows that I'm missing. . . .
Golly, it's cold, -winter's early
. . . . What's the insurance com
pany going to say. . . .
Days Later
"Boy oh boy! Good old 10th
Rescue; I hope he sees me. . . ."
Comment
This winter a pilot headed
for a destination 275 miles south
of his departure point. He fin
ished 240 miles west of his des
tination and 355 miles from his
departure point. We don't have
to exaggerate.

WHAT ARK TODAY’S FACTS ABOUT
AEW CAR ENGINES AND POWER STEERING?
L\st year Chrysler introduced its new FirePower
j Y-S engine, and America’s first passenger-car
full-time power steering. Both new ideas “took
hold" in a big way.
Today, others are announcing “new engines”
and “power steering” . . . but with some basic
differences worth keeping in mind if you’re buying
a new car.
First: about “new engines.” The fact is, a
really new’ engine design happens only once in a
great while. It did happen in the FirePower V-8.
Its 180 h.p. was only incidental to its basic new
design. Its key idea is a hemispherical combustion
chamber, which makes even non-premium gasoline
develop more usable power than other designs can
get from premium fuel.
Only Chrysler engineering has so far mastered
this design. Several cars do have some power
increase, in terms of previous designs. The im
portant fact is that FirePower is not a “warmed
over” engine, but brand new in performance,
construction, and efficiency.
In power steering, too, there are basic differences.
Chrysler uses hydraulic power, always in effect, to
do two things. First, it does 4/5 the steering work
as you turn the wheel. Second, we’ve cut the
amount of wheel turn needed by over 1/3.
Parking or cruising, you get more and easier
control than ever before. In sand, snow, or ruts,
the hydraulic power is always there to keep the
front wheels from “steering back’’ at you. You get
the same amount and feel of control all the time . ..
full-time ease and full-time safety.
Actually, the differences, both in engine
performance and in steering safety and ease are
impossible to put in words ... but just as impossible
not to feel the moment you get into a Chrysler
and drive it! Why not see your Chrysler dealer and
do that, soon?
