The passing of another oldtimer
brings on the reflection that the
old order is changing—oh, so rapid
ly. And linked with that is an ob
servation on that strangest of all
creatures—mankind.
The old order—when everybody
made enough money to put a little
away for hard times or old age,
when tomorrow was always coming
to take care of what was not done
today; when no one locked his
doors; when one knew all his
neighbors by name: when culture
and society were words in the dic
tionary; when there was room—
lots of room.
Yes. it is changing. Three people
out of five interviewed now in
Alaska, of those who have lived in
the Territory for three years or
better, are working hard and with
enthusiasm for “development.”
higher standards of living, civiliza
tion, whatever word one cares to
use to describe the kind of life left
behind in the States.
At the same time, those very peo
ple have a deep hidden, porplexktg
aversion to the very change f^r
which they are ’ ork’iv’’ so ha d.
and creating so rapidly.

Today my family owns 13 Dodge cars and 11

New Riding Comfort
Today you want a car that’s built to last . . .
one that saves you money mile after mile. And you
want comfort, too. You want a car that protects you
lropi humps and jolts—even over back roads or
detours. With the new Dodge Onflow Ride, bumpy
roads, ruts and chuck holes magically melt away.
Come in and judge for yourself. See if you don’t
agree that you could pay up to $1,000 more for a car
and still not get all the extra room, riding comfort,
safely and famous dependability of Dodge.
