BLM Engineers
Rotary Speakers
Two engineers from the Bu'eau
of Land Management, Harold Kad
cliffe and Walter Cooley, spoke
before the Rotary Club following
lunch Tuesday. President Bill
Lainine presided during the meet
ing.
The two BLM engineers, who
have been in Kodiak for several
weeks surveying land adjacent to
the Kodiak Baptist Mission, and
other land north of the ARC yards,
described the work they are doing
and answered all questions regard
ing the land in question.
The land, following completion
of the survey, will be offered for
bid sale. Mr. Kaufman of the BLM
office in Anchorage, is expected
here next week. He will appraise
the land and set the price on its
valuation. A bid sale will be con
ducted in the near future.
Much of the land in question is
in the Dark Lake area and adja
cent to Potato Patch Lake. Some
of the land has scenic value, ac
cording to Radcliffe. Swamps in
some areas will have to be drain
ed.
Many of the members present
evinced considerable interest in
tracts of land in the newly survey
ed area, some of which will go as
small tracts and others as lots. In
the East Addition alone there will
be twenty-one blocks available for
purchase.
Guests who attended Rotary in
clude, besides the two speakers,
Jess Ballard, Don Wolfe, Jack
Norvelle, George H. Wicks and
Jim Collins.

fits a great time to buy a Buick!)
Seriously—where else can you get so much
snap and ginger at such a peach of a price?
Where else can you get a big, high-powered,
steady-riding hardtop like this '56 Buick
Rfviera—at a figure that’s pretty close to what
they’re asking for similar models of the well-;
known smaller cars?
Nowhere else that we know of—which is one
big reason why Buick outsells all others cars
in America except two of those smaller cars.
But right along with low price is something
else behind Buick’s big success: Buick is a
lot more automobile for the money.
It gives you more room and luxury—more
zip and power thrill—fine handling and sure
footed stability.
And it gives you something you can
get in no other car—today’s advanced
new Variable Pitch Dynaflow.* It’s
the only transmission in the world with the
cruising thrift and the switch-pitch safety
surge taken from the modern plane’s
propeller.
So why wait any longer—when the time to
take action is now, so you can start enjoying
all the golden months of summer and fall in
a new ’56 Buick?
Now—when Buick prices are as low as—
perhaps lower than—they’ll ever & again.
Now—when your present car is at its peak of
worth-and when today’s high volume '56
Buick sales permit us to make you an even
better trade-in allowance.
Come see us—and look into the car that puts
you years ahead right now.
Come see us today—and discover the dilly of
a deal that will make you wonder why on
earth you waited as long as you did.
*New Advanced Variable Pitch Dynaflow is the only
Dynaflow Buick builds today. It is standhid on Roadmaster,
Super and Century — op. .utiul at modest extra cost on the
Special.
