We hear that i>an ftose, well

slow but sure. He has been down
with the bug for four or five weeks
and has four or five months to go
before he gets back on the job.
He can now get up for one hour

to the doctor’s office. If any one

What’s the latest dope on polio? 1
How many new cases? I heard a ’
fellow say that they’d sent to Ko
diak for one of those fish counters
they were coming into the Doctor's J
offices so fust! The real dope is ’
IS cases in the past two weeks, ac- :
cording to Dr. J. B. Deisher. Of *
these six are new cases and the ,
rest are old cases which have just ‘
been confirmed as polio. There
are four school age children who
showed up with polio and of these ,
only two have had their onset since ’
school opened, according to the
Doctor. Two of the cases are pre
school children and the rest are .
adult women. As to the four 1
polio cases from Seward, reported
in the Anchorage papers. Dr. j
Deisher had no information.

New FORD ...
THUNDERBIRD
, %
A personal car of distinction
... with Trigger '-Torque performance
You’ll be delighted at the wealth of conven
iences the Thunderbird offers. Two tops are
available: a disappearing fabric top . . .
and an easy-to-lift-on hard top. The extra
wide vinyl upholstered seat is foam-rubber
cushioned . . . power-operated 4 ways.
Windows roll up ... by power, if you like.
There is a tachometer . .. and a clock with a
sweep second hand. There is a telescoping
steering wheel. And you can have power
steering and power brakes.
Come in today for
complete
information
Something totally fresh is here —a bewitch
ing new all-steel beauty that sets the styling
keynote for other Ford cars to come.
But, styling gives the merest hint of what
the Thunderbird has to offer. In traffic and on
the open road the Thunderbird’s Trigger
Torque performance is literally a revelation.
Here is hair-trigger response . . . fleet, liquid
agility . . . backed by a reserve of swift, sure
power to meet safety’s every demand. Trigger
Torque performance stems from Ford’s new
Thunderbird Special V-8 — a high-torque
engine with 4-barrel carburetor, dual exhausts,
wide-opening valves and Ford’s famous low
friction design. And you can have the
Thunderbird with the transmission of your
choice —Conventional, Overdrive, or new
Speed-Trigger Fordomatic.
Ford’s Ball-Joint Front Suspension not only
velvet-cushions your ride, it also allows the
Thunderbird to handle with utmost ease — to
comer with greatest stability.
But, more important, the Thunderbird is
the product of the same advanced engineer
ing .. . the same manufacturing skills that
have made Ford products so dependable,
value-full and so desirable to so many.

Lhe first moose season, you’re just
aut of luck.
They don't mean to get your
goat, but if you didn’t get your
moose then, it’s wait until next
year for there is no likelihood of
i second season, no matter what
you read in the Anchorage papers.
