PUBLIC LAND LEGISLATION
REPORTED FAVORABLY
Legislation which would per
mit the sale or lease of unre
served public lands in states,
territories, counties, municipali
ties or other political subdivi
sions, for any public purpose and
the lease of land to nonprofit
corporations and nonprofit as
sociations for any recreational
or other proper public purpose
has been reported favorably to
the House.
“The authorization to issue
leases to nonprofit organizations
is believed by the committee to
be most desirable," the report
stated. "Such organizations often
have sought to lease public lands
in order to establihs camps and
other projects, but because of
his lack of authority, the Secre
tary has heretofore been unable
to execute such leases.”
Delegate Barth tt has a mini
*bcr of bills pending which would
allow the sale of tracts of land
to such nonprofit groups as
churches and the Boy Scouts.
The enactment of the bill re
ported this week would do away
with the necessity of such indi
vidual bills if the groups would
be wiling to lease lands rather
than have the opportunity to
purchase land.

NO MINING LOCATIONS
ON SCHOOL LANDS
President Truman has signed
Delegate Bartlett's bill prevent
ing the location of mining claims
on lands reserved for the benefit
of territorial schools.
The new law was sought, as
pointed out by the Senate Com
mittees on Interior and Insular
Affairs in reporting the measure,
“to prevent the location of min
ing claims and the depletion of
the territorial school fund.” The
report continued, “Recently,
mining locations for gravel were
made on a school reserve sec
tion near Anchorage. It was then
realized that instead of the ter
ritorial school fund gelling the
benefit of the value of this sec
tion, it would all accrue to the
locator of the mining claim ex
cept for the small amount re
alized if he were to apply for a
mining patent.”

Madison 143
That's the jubilant news that conies from Flint
to every Buick dealer—and here we pass the
thrilling story on to you. It sure is true for ’52
that better automobiles are being built — and
Bitick is building them. Read the good word
and you'll agree.
Il l’s pare t’nis down to plain statements of
fact and let them speak for themselves:
The dynamic darling pictured here is the 1952
Roadmaster.
It has the mightiest engine in Buick history.
It has the biggest brakes of any postwar Buick.
It is the quietest car that Buick ever built.
It has the richest fabrics and smartest tailoring
that ever graced a Buick’s interior.
It has the greatest trunk space since spare tires
moved off the front fenders.
It has the most superb ride in Buick history.
It has the finest carburetor that Buick research
has ever devised.
And with all its new power, it delivers more
miles per gallon.
But that is not all.
For those who wish it, there is a brand-new
version of power steering that works like a
helping hand—gives you the same sure feel of
control you have always known in sir dght
awav driving—yet takes less than one-fifth the
effort needed to turn the ordinary wheel stand
ing at curbside.
Sure, we’re putting our best foot forward when
we talk about Roadmastkr.
But you'll find a host of notable features in
Sitkrs and Specials too — plenty to make
them, as always, the standout buys in their
fields—for ride, for comfort, for style, for room,
and for power.
Come in—look this triumphant trio over—and
you’ll know why every Buick dealer from coast
to coast is going around with a smile on his face.
Equipment, accessories, trim and
models are .subject to change without notice.
