Governor Lists Top Alaska Problems
To Discuss With Gov’t Officials
By FRANK W. VAILLE
WASHINGTON, UP—Gov. B.
Frank Heintzleman of Alaska to
day listed highways, Eskimo
housing and mental health among
problems he intends to discuss
with government officials in the
next two weeks.
Here on his annual fall trip,
Heintzleman said the meetings
will take up matters on which
programs must be submitted to
the Alaska legislature in January
as well as questions requiring
congressional action.
The highway and mental health
programs stem from laws passed
by the last Congress.
The territory is included in the
federal highway aid program this
year for the first time. It is also
taking over control of its own
mental health program.
Heintzleman said he plans to
meet with Charles D. Curtiss,
commissioner of public roads, on
the selection of roads to be in
cluded within the Alaska highway
system.
In mental health matters, the
governor will see Interior Dept,
officials about taking over the
government’s contract with the
I Morningside Hospital at Portland,
! Ore., for care of the territory’s
! mental patients. Public Health
) Service representatives will ad
I vise him on recommendations to
[ the legislature as to facilities and
commitment procedures needed
by Alaska in administering the
program.
Heintzleman said he is hopeful
of working out arrangements be
tween the Bureau of Indian Af
fairs and the Housing and Home
Finance Agency to develop a pro
gram to supply needed housing
for some of Alaska’s Eskimos.
He said the program, which pro
poses outright government con
struction rather than loans, would
not be elaborate but would be de
signed to provide the Eskimos
with prefabricated t w o-r o o m
| wooden houses.
Police Report Little Real
Damage Done Halloween
The Police Dept, reports little
real damage by Halloween prank
sters. A slashed tire has been re
ported and many cars had no air
in their tires yesterday morning.
Fritz Carlson is looking for the
owner of two tanks of gas which
were left in front of his house.
In addition to a display of
fireworks generously donated by
Keith Hedreen, the merchants
contributed to a fund giving free
treats at the Police Station with
465 youngsters accepting.
The N.C. Store special goblin
give-away and Cavota’s treats
had a line-up of youngsters with
an estimated 500 being treated.
Chief Webb said that all the
money contributed for the treats
was not used so the balance has
been turned over to Carrie Mc

Never before in history has anything
built by man traveled so far in so short a time
—by land or sea I
The most exhaustive endurance test
ever given an automobile has just
been completed by two stock ’57
Fords—identical in every respect
with cars now being offered by Ford
Dealers.
Under the supervision of the United
States Auto Club and the Federa
tion Internationale de Automobile,
each of these two ’57 Fords traveled
50,000 miles in less than 20 days.
Ford No. 1 averaged 108.16 mph for
the entire run ... Ford No. 2, over
107 mph. These averages include
time for all pit stops.
In all, the ’57 Ford smashed 458
national and international records.
This test was run on the Bonneville
Salt Flats in Utah ... it was the
longest left turn in history.

An announcement of decisive importance
to anyone about to buy a new automobile
A car, like a man, is known by its deeds,
not wards.
That is why, we at Ford, despite our con
fidence in our ’57 cars, let their deeds of
accomplishment speak for themselves.
Therefore, we engaged an independent
engineering organization to test our ’57
cars more thoroughly than any other
cars have ever been tested before — in
this country or abroad.
We provided them with ’57 Fords—cars
identical with those now offered by Ford
Dealers. The rest we left up to them.
Here is what they did:
They took these cars to the Salt Flats at
Bonneville, Utah.
Here, twelve of the world’s greatest
drivers took over.
In relays they drove these cars night and
day for a distance greater than twice
around the world ... a distance equal
to 5 years of normal driving.
Not in all history has a man-built ma
chine traveled so far in so short a time—
by land or sea!
But this was not a test of speed—hut of
endurance of the “Inner Ford.” A trial
to take the measure of Thunderbird Y
block V-8 power without qualification
of any kind. A test of running gear—of
brakes, of materials in body and chassis.
Of steering and roadability, yes, and
comfort, too!
A test, indeed, such as no other cars have
ever undergone, let alone successfully
concluded.
Surely they have told you, in decisive
terms, that they are worth more when
you buy . . . and when you sell! ,
Your Ford Dealer will gladly place at
your disposal the new kind of Ford that
means a new kind of value for your car
buying dollar—the greatest the world has
ever seen.
