RAND9M RAUSBUNGS OUT WASILLA WAY
By E. Hjellen
i;
An oversight! The three
daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Gerrit
(Heinie) Snider were mentioned
last week. Lincoln Peter Snider
•their son) should have been in
cluded. He was killed aboard the
U. S. S. California when World
War II was being fought—with
out being declared—and diplo
mats were still talking.
Thur Betts sez he's going to
name his boat "Sadie"—it's broad
ci beam.
Williwaw Lodge is a-buzz with
pre-season preparations for a
busy summer. Learned who was
going to be there—Pat Wells,
with her sister—Alma Decker
^she was visiting stateside this
winter), Renee Barnes, Dave
Mitchum (cook from Dallas,
Texas), Jerry Weeks and Gus
Nordgren. Harbingers of sum
mer are Carl Johnson, retired
from the A.R.C., and Ken Lohns,
on leave while waiting to be
retired from C. A. A. in July.
. If your curiosity was “bud
ding"—you wondered what the
A.R.C. was doing to our roads.
They're bulldozing out all those
places that boiled .up this spring
and putting in a new gravel
base in preparation for this
summer's later surfacing. The
rock crusher has been moved
into Fred Hurd's gravel pit.
Driving has licensed number 42
Lincoln — “Cad” Caldwallader
wheeled into town from the
states—six days (and nights).
Had wondered how he rated that
low number—those are usually
reserved for state or territorial
administrators. Learned that
way back—he was given that
number for his ’29 Ford (few cars
then) and he has had that license
ever since.
Miss Schayer (R.N.) made her
regular visit to the school last
week. She was to leave on a one
month vacation last Friday.
A growing family has compel
led Walt and Vivian Teeland to
renivize their home. Orlando
Byers has Dan Olney and Henry
Hanson working with him on
the re-habilitation of Teeland’s
residence.
Lloyd Short was bound for
Big Delta where he was to be
an instrument man for the Peter
Kiewit & Early Co.
Couple of birthday parties.
Mary Line was seven and Edian
ne Olson was ten. Everett L.
Woody was given a birthday
party at the school by his pupils.
Other odds V ends. The 2nd,
3rd, 4th and part of the 5th
grades had their picnic at the
ballpark with Mrs. Borden and
Mrs. Slumberger in charge. Mrs.
Woody held the 1st and part of
the 2nd grade on the school
grounds for their picnic. Brownie
Scouts held a trail marking
hunt—instructed by Mrs. Clarke
and Mrs. Olson. They couldn’t
find the trail—but they could
hear their “quarry” giggling—
and found them.
"Nicest picnic we've had for a
long time", says Ernie Line—
speaking about the hi-school
gathering at Green Acres. "The
weather was grand—no bugs—
and no mosquitoes".
Dropped into Hallea Lodge and
saw Johnny Stump on a clean
up detail. The A.R.R. is to go on
its summer schedule so people
will be able to arrive here about
10:15 A.M. and leave at 6:30 P.M.
Altho these trains are not
Specials—they will stop at Hal
lea Park for passengers to take
in the boat races. There will be
oarking attendants for those who
arrive by car on both the 29th
and Memorial Day—bootlis, too.
There's a nice family trip that
has been overlooked- Board the
north train at 10:12 in the morn
ing (any day except Tuesday)
and get off at Honolulu (no
oceans to cross). That's where
the train that left Fairbanks that
morning meets your train and
will brink you back to Wasillai
about 6:30 in the evening. The
only item of comfort missing is
a glowina fireplace. No hi-way
driving strain—no stopping to
eat. Bring your own picnic lunch
if you wish (barroom in rear).
No jumping in the back seat
while looking for a "Chic Sales"
—read, play cards or just watch
the scenery. The trip takes you
over Hurricane Gulch. How
much? I . dunno—ask ..Tommy
Wyse.
Dick Winterbottom, from
Grants Pass, Oregon, is staying
and working with Jim Baldwin.
Dick likes to fish and hunt—but
mainly—he came here to work
during the construction period.
Powder Room talk—"There are
only two things wrong with him.
What he does—and what he
says."
Bob Pennington left the long
way for his home at Snowshoe
Lake. Monday, he boarded the
train for Fairbanks and will
drive down the hiway. We’ll see
him back for the jaunt to Kodiak
in June with the Explorer Scouts.
By car, train, plane and boat
(well, rowboat anyway), friends
came to the Snider home on Lake
Lucille last Sunday. "Heinie"
and Mrs. Snider wish to thank all
for their many kind thoughts
and gifts. Rose Johnson gave
them a picture—made entirely of
Alaskan flowers (for coloring) to
be given to "Heinie's" mother—
by her "boy" who left home over
fifty years ago.
CO-OP DEPARTMENTS

INVENTORY PERIOD

tanuska Valley Farmers Cooper
ating Association will be closed

rant, Co-Op general manager.

YOU certainly can throw out your chest and
call this strapping big Buick yours.
Because —as any comparison shows —the dollar
difference between this brawny beauty and the
well-known smaller cars is now virtually erased.
So if you’ve been holding back, thinking a Buick
was out of reach -let yourself so. You can afford
a Buick if you can afford any new car —and the
price we show here proves it.
Buick Sales Are Soaring To New Best-Seller Highs
That’s a major reason for the phenomenal success
of Buick today. So much so, that production and
sales are hitting new peaks to move Buick more
firmly into the tight circle of America s best sellers.
And a companion reason for this soaring popularity
is Buick’s full line of cars to give you a choice
in any price class-the bedrock-priced SPECIAL,
the high-powered CENTURY, the extra-roomy
Super, and the custom-built Roadmaster.
But pure and simple, it’s all the automobile you
get for your money that’s winning so many new
owners to Buick.
It’s the extra pride you feel, the extra room you
enjoy, the extra comfort you get, the extra safety
you sense-from Buick styling, Buick size, Buick
ride-engineering, Buick solidity of structure.
2-door, 6-passenger Buick SPECIAL Sedan, Model 48, illustrated.
Optional equipment, accessories, state and local taxes, if any,
additional. Prices may vary slightly in adjoining communities.
Even the factory-installed extras you may want are bargains,
such as: Heater & Defroster-$81.70; Radio & Antenna-$92.50.
It’s the extra lift and snap and ginger you get
from Buick high-compression V8 power —and
the fun and thrill of bossing such eager might.
As we said — if you can afford any new car, you
can afford a Buick-even with the spectacular
performance of Variable I itch DynaflowT at
modest extra cost.
So why settle for anything less than a Buick?
Drop in on us, take the wheel, press that pedal,
and see for yourself what a whale of an automobile
-and a whale of a buy-today’s Buick really is.
fDynaflow Drive is standard on Roadmaster, optional at extra cost
on other Series
