The Rotarians learned all about
anti-submarine warfare at their
luncheon Tuesday. Cdr. W. W.
South, Executive Officer of the
Naval Station, was the speaker.
Great strides have been made in
this type of warfare, particularly
in equipment, the speaker pointed
out. Notably was the use of air
craft in spotting and actually wag
ing war on the below surface craft.
Helicopters are now being used,
and once contact is made it is very
difficult for a sub to get away.
Bad weather is the subs best
friend, for it is then possible to
rise to the surface without detec
tion, from aircraft in particular.
The cost of hunting subs is very
high, according to Cdr. South, both
in men and equipment. During the
war there is a loss of two crews
for each six weeks of operation.
It is a high price to pay, but it
is well worth it,” the speaker said.
Among the guests present, be
sides Cdr. South, were John Man
suy, Jr., Paul Jaeger, Jim Hagen
and Bob McDonald.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Dear Editor,
As you know there are two sides
to every story. I’d like to tell my
side of the duck bunting trip, as
told in last weeks B & B Lounge
Ad.
I’ll go along with the first part
of their story about getting li
censes, permits, etc., etc., but from
there on my version differs.
They didn’t get up at four o’
clock, it was closer to nine. They
didn’t drive to Kalsin Bay, they
had a very smooth ride out in a
boat. It was not raining, the sun
was shining brightly
How do I know, well I was there
waiting for the season to open at
noon. At 12 o’clock I started up
one side of Olds River toward the
flats. I spotted three beautiful mal
lards, but each time I got close to
them they flew. After about the
third time I chased them they
flew over toward a fence, where
BANG, BANG, BANG, and dowm
go my beautiful mallards and out
from behind a fence post steps
Stan the Man Nelson, grinning
from here to here, not even thank
ing me for chasing the ducks to
him.
So you see, editor, there is al
ways two sides to each hunting
story. They didn’t go home all wet
and muddy with only one “Saw
hill” but nice and dry with what
should have been my thre mal
should have been my three mal
as it really happened.

And so ctoes the thrill
- with JBuiclc'js new*
Vhriahle Ktah I>ynaflowlv
With all the big excitement of Buick’s 1956 styling
and power and ride and handling—it’s easy to
overlook this fact:
Gas mileage in the ’56 Buicks takes a big step upward.
One reason, of course, is the new power plant itself.
Every new Buick cradles an advanced 322-cubic-inch
V8 engine with the highest horsepowers, Series for
Series, in all Buick history. Yet every engine delivers
piore efficiency, and more usable power to the rear
wheels—because each one has a new double “Y” mani
folding, and a new high in compression ratio.
But the major reason for the happy, news in gas mileage
—and for the new step-up in safety and thrills—is Buick’s
latest version of Variable Pitch Dynaflow.
In this airplane-principled transmission, you always
had a gas-saving cruising range—and, at a switch of the
j*itch, a full-power getaway range.
Now Buick engineers have brought to this cruising range
what they call "double regeneration.” It simply means
a new way to make flowing oil add to its own velocity
to build up driving force.
Got 4-S«a»on Comfort in your now Buick
with HUGIDAIRC CONDITIONING
. —now at a now low prico
So now, you merely nudge the pedal to part throttle and
get new breakaway getaway. And since you get this
quicker, safer response in your normal cruising rangt
—where you don’t use full power—you get plenty more
miles from every tankful of gas.
But when you do need sudden safety-surge for emer
gencies, you just floor the pedal to switch the pitch.
Instantly, you’re at full-power acceleration—and it’s the
most thrilling safety measure in the land.
How about coming in to try the most modern trans
mission yet?
The absolute smoothness of this new Dynaflow is worth
a visit in itself. So you can be sure you’re in for a wealth
of wonderful surprises—for that’s just the start of the
best Buick yet. Can you make it this week?
*New Advanced Variable Pitch Dynaflow is the only Dynaflow
Buick builds today. It is standard on Roadmaster, Super and
Century—optional at modest extra cost on the Special.
