What’s the fastest-growing
line of trucks in America?
IOOK around you —in cities, on farms,

wherever goods are moved on wheels.
More and more, the pay load’s packed
on a GMG.
You see those letters on medium and
heavy Diesels, the most economical
workers in their field. For GMC means
first in Diesel power.
You see gasoline-powered GMG’s
front-running the highways of America
-pace-setting delivery of the necessi
ties of peace and war.
the power plants, the broad-shouldered
chassis—the way a GMG handles.
Ask about the tons they’ve hauled,
the miles they’ve logged —the nip-and
tuck schedules they’ve licked time
and again.
Ask these cost-wary haulers why they've
made GMC the fastest-growing fleet in
the land.
They’ll tell you it’s because GMG is
the finest motor truck made.
If you’ll come in, we’ll show you why
we think they’re right.
You see nimble bantamweights of the
family —the highest-powered %• to
2-tonners made—outpulling, outhauling
every other truck in their class.
Ever wonder why GMG is gaining a
greater percentage of the industry
than any other truck-maker? r=

“The Boy Scout work in Alas
ka is conceded to be th most
important youth program in tlu*
Territory. Local and Territorial
leaders urge contributors to co
operate in the campaign as fully
as possible, and have contribu
tions ready when solicitors call.
In past years there have been
most gratifying participation,
and leaders this year anticipate
the campaign will go smoothly
and the results will be such that
our campaign will compare fa
vorably with those of other com
munities who share the expenses
of oDerating the Alaska Council,
Boy Scouts of America.
••The Alaska Council, which
services and supervises all Boy
Scout work in the Territory, em
ploys five trained professional
men to assist the hundreds of
volunteer leaders. Gene Butler
visits Seward regularly. He is
responsible to the Executive
Board which is composed of 44
men who live in the Territory.
The Executive Board is the gov

Scout population is continually
increasing, with over 1000 boys
now registered. Scout leaders e""
poet that this number will in
crease and are depending on the

in Alaska is the only way in
which the Alaska Council re
ceives funds.
"The Boy Scouts of America
is a democratic organization with
a program for making good citi

Backers of the Cubs and Scouts
arc vigorous in their contention
that an investment in Scouting
is an investment in the future of
America.”
