Dear Editor
This weekend I distributed
to the village iheclotbes which
Emil Knudsen had sent to us
to be distribut 'd in April of
last spring. I had waited since
it is easy to future them here at
the school and ! felt that win
ter rather requires more cloth
es and the fishing season
might not prove too good here.
As it happened, the fishing
at Old Harbor was certainly
not too good and the people in
some of the larger families are
going to have a tough go of it
to feed the children in the late
winter and early spring let a
lone cloth them properly. So it
was with much appreciation
that they accepted the clothes
fast Saturday and Sunday.
Last winter I gave a coat to
a little first grade girl, the
coat by this fall was really in
tatters and very dirty, but she
was still wearing it until today.
She came to school this morn
ing as proud as a peacock of
the green jacket which she
was wearing, it was fora larg
er child, but it fitted her per
fectly as far as she was con
cerned,
I believe that the Kodiak
mission sent some clothes to
the village which were also
distributed this fall by the
missionaries here. However, if
there are any clothes available
in Kodiak this year, they would
surely be appreciated and well
used by the people here. If you
will send them to us, we will
surely be glad to distribute
them to the people. They would
write their appreciation them
selves, but, as you know, they
are really a quite shy people,
when it comes to expressing
themselves. —.
Very sincerely yours,
[s] Wilma and Lee Wells
Old Harbor, Alaska

ing clothing that they would
like to have sent to the “West

butes them.

WHEN BETTER AUTOMOBILES ARE BUILT BUICK WILL BUILD THfM .?
. . ,.<v ... % .s <• v ✓. >. > ®
A BRIGHT NEW FRESHNESS greets
your eyes and tells you:
Buick’s done it again.
You see it in the bold distinction
of that gleaming Wide-Screen
Grille. You see it in the rakish
sweep of the rear-end contours.
You see it in the whole fore-and
aft newness of fleet-lined grace
that marks Buick the beauty thrill
of 1955.
New horsepower — up to 236
You learn more when you get the
power story. Up to new peaks go
the horsepowers of every Buick
Y8 engine —a walloping 188 hp in
the low-price SPECIAL —a mighty
236 hp in the Century, Super
and RoADMASTER.
And it’s new, more responsive, far
abler power you can literally feel
as you go.
But even bigger Buick news for
1955 is something more than style
and power. It’s what the “variable
pitch propeller” now has done for
Dynaflow Drive.*
Up goes performance —
and gas mileage too
When you find it necessary to push
the pedal to the floor board, you
do more than call on the greatest
high-compression V8 power in
Buick history.
You do what a pilot does when he
heads his plane down a runway.
You do in oil what he does in air—
you cut down take-off time by using
“variablepitch propellers.”
In this case, the propeller blades
are inside the Dynaflow unit. But
they’re engineered to swivel or
change their “pitch” just like plane
propellers—and with the same
result: one pitch for getaway,
another pitch for gas-saving fuel,
efficiency.
And what you get in the way of
instantaneous safety-surge with
absolute smoothness, you can only
believe when you feel it.
This you hove to try
Of course, we want you to come
and see the trend-setting new
Buicks—look into the betterment?)
in gasoline mileage that add new
thrift to these spectacular cars.
But this year, “seeing” is only the
beginning. So—while you join the
crowds viewing the new Buicks
this week end, make a date to get
behind the wheel as soon as yon
possibly can. We promise you the
thrill of the year.
