Fire Prevention Week
JUNEAU — Governor William
A. Egan has proclaimed the week
of October 4-10 as Fire Prevention
Week in Alaska.
The proclamation calls on all

causes and dangers of fire, and to
cooperate with state and local fire
officials and their representatives

The Governor said fire in Alas
ka annually takes a toll of life
and millions of dollars in property
damage, and noted that careless
and man-caused fires in Alaskan
fires cause heavy loss of valuable
timber and wildlife resources.

IN HIS WORK

the presence of nondrinking grand
jury members — to test methods
used by police to determine drunk
enness.
State law specifies .15 per cent
alcohol in the blood to be suffi
cient to provide a person intoxi
cated. Galbraith said he felt the
percentage was too high. •
The Grand Jury expressed be
lief the experiment would prove
valuable in future deliberations.

Introducing the New-Size Ford ...
the 1960 Ford
Meet die New-size Ford — the Falcon! Here’s a car with
plenty of room for six big adults and all their luggage. It’s
sized to handle and park like a “small” car . . . powered to
pass and climb like a “big” car . . . and built like no other
car for savings!
It gives you up to 30 miles per gallon on regular gas.
Aluminized mufflers normally last twice as long as ordinary
kinds. A Full-Flow oil filter lets you go 4.000 miles be
tween oil changes. Even insurance can cost you less! And
tlyis Falcon is the world’s most experienced new car. It was
driven over ever)' mile of numbered Federal Highway in
EXPERIENCE RUN, U.S.A.—a grueling demonstration
climaxing Ford’s 3 years of development and testing.
The Falcon has ’the features that American car buyers
* expect. Its gearshift is on the steering column—not on the
floor. Its engine is located up front for greater stability and
safety. Best news of all is the Falcon’s low, low price. See it
at your Ford Dealer’s .. . and see the difference!
Now you can see them—the Finest Fords of a
Lifetime! Economy-minded Fairlanes. Big-value
Fairlane 500’s. Elegant Galaxies. A breath-taking
new Sunliner convertible and a brand-new hard
top model, the flashing Starliner. Then there’s
a whole new world of Station Wagon Living,
too. It all adds up to 15 glittering variations of
the w'orld’s newest, most elegant styling theme!
And Ford sets the new trend in power. Ford’s
Thunderbird 292 V-8 and 352 V-8, like the fa
mous Mileage Maker Six, bring a new' world of
smoother, hotter performance—on regular gas.
To top it all, the Finest Fords of a Lifetime are
priced for savings. Ford is still priced to outvalue
all comparable models of its major competitors.
Ford savings, however, only begin with a low
price. You save still more with engines that thrive
on regular gas and save up to a dollar on every
tankful ... a Full-Flow oil filter that lets you
go 4,000 miles between oil changes . . . Diamond
Lustre Finish that never needs waxing ... alumi- x
nized mufflers that normally last twice as long
as conventional types . . . new, safer, Truck-Size
brakes that are the biggest ever in Ford’s history
. . . and new soft-tread, Tyrex cord tires that run
quieter, last longer.
In every way these are the Finest Fords of your
Lifetime! See them at your Ford Dealer’s!
