RANDOM RAMBLINGS OUT WASILLA WAY
By E. Hjellen
volunteers tnat 1 saw helping
Mr. Paul in the blood-typing
were: Hazel Wyse, Ethel Smith,
Hose Johnson, Betty LePors,
Olga Peck, “Henry” Thatcher
and Renee Barnes. Hope I didn’t
overlook anyone.
At their last meeting, the Com
munity Club "kicked off" a
Goodwill Gesture drive to assist
Bill and Ruby Church re-estab
lish themselves after their home
burned to the ground Contribu
tion ilsting will be held at Tee
land's,
Odds ’n’ Ends: Bob Lincoln is
working at the Experimental
Station; Wilson Gray is doing fin
ishing work at Teelands. Walt
Teeland and Pat Carter had the
“Little Red Wagon” out for a test
run. Pressure pumps works fine,
too. The Juniors and Seniors will
hold their graduation invitational
Prom at the school gym on Satur
day the seventh. Paul Rogers
bought Pearl Loberg’s Wasilla
place. Pete Corcoran was still
limping around—. Just like in
the Model “T” days—his RR
speeder backfired when he was
cranking it and left him with a
large bruise on his left leg. Hos
pitalized him—for that matter.
Our tri-weekly excitement is
to watch ..and ..wonder if . Bob
Clarke will make the north train.
Once—the train had to be radio
ed to wait for him at the first
crossing.
In the Valley land clearing pro
gram—Harold Harris is off to a
“snorting” start. Working with
him on bulldozers are Frank
Howell, “Ev” Lemon and Earl
Combs.
Heard—what I feel is—a good
idea. Place a person's blood type
and RH factor on his driver li
cense. Maybe some future Legis
laturers would consider enacting
a Territorial Law to that effect.

A fish is a creature that grows
fastest between the time it's
caught and the time the angler
describes it.
Mr. Harold Richards and Frank
Devlin drove (with a load of
clothing) to Chitina where they
picked up a Mr. Thompson and
continued on to Tetlin. It was
there they delivered the cloth
ing—held services and returned.
They were gone about nine days.

THE
HOMEMAKER’S
BEST
FRIEND!
The electric outlet box in your home means
so much to the homemaker! It is easy to plug
in labor saving appliances such as sweepers,
washing machine, irons and countless others.
No homemaker would want to be without
her convenient electric toaster, waffle iron,
coffee maker or her electric stove. We need
not remind you of the value of your electric
refrigerator, freezer or water heater You
wouldn't want to be without the pleasure of
your radio or TV set. Last but not least, we
all depend on the safety, convenience and
beauty of electric light. There is no substi
tute for electricity!
ELECTRICITY IS CHEAP!

Just wait till you s witch the pitch
of Buick's new Dynafiow*/
/fcr 7fie ffetz/top wftf? fbt/rDoors/
Here's the new hit in hard
tops that’s taking the
country by storm - Buick's
pioneering and pace-setting
4-Door Riviera. The "con
vertible" look, with no
center posts in the side
window areas - but with
separate doors for rear
seat passengers. Shown
here in the low-price
SPECIAL model —also avail
able in the high-powered
CENTURY Series. Both now
in volume production to
insure prompt deliveries.
HOW would you like to take the wheel
of a high-powered Buick and feel an
experience you never felt before in any
earth-bound vehicle?
How would you like to do-just by pressing
down the gas pedal—what a pilot does when
he’s ready for take-off?
And how would you like to drive with the
happy thought that you’re getting plenty of
miles per gallon in normal cruising—and
the electrifying action of the world’s first
airplane-principled transmission when you
need it for split-second getaway response?
It’s all for you when you say the word and
slip into the driver’s seat of a new Buick
with Variable Pitch Dynaflow.*
Not only do you take command of record
high Buick V8 power-and the most envied
ride in the industry—and the brawn and
heft and luxury of a truly solid automobile.
You also call the turn on twenty propeller
like blades deep inside a wondrous new
Dynaflow that’s patterned after the prin
ciple of the modern plane’s variable pitch
propeller.
You hold these blades in their high-economy
angle when you press the pedal in the nor
mal way—and you get a lot more miles from
a tankful of gas.
You switch the pitch of these blades to
take-off position when you press the pedal
way down — and you get spectacular action
instantly.
Don’t take our word alone that this is
thrilling beyond all previous experience.
Talk to anyone who’s tried it. Or, better
yet, come try it yourself. That way you
can learn firsthand why Buick sales are
soaring to all-time best-seller highs. Drop in
this week, won’t you?
*Dynafiotv Drive is standard on Road master, optional ai
extra cost on other Series.
