It provides an additional means of saying that you are a welcome member of the Buick family Your Partner General Manager, Buick Motor Division BUICK Offers a Host of Thrilling New Models for 1950 THE STORY we have to tell in announcing our new 1950 models is one which never before has been possible in Buick's forty-six-year history. It is a pleasure to bring it to you in this announcement issue of the Buick Magazine. Every Buick owner will, I'm sure, be proud of it and prouder than ever of his car. But, first, may I generally review the Buick picture as we look forward to another new year and to a brand-new line-up of models. To start with, the year 1949 was a record-breaker from nearly every standpoint. Early in the year, materials which had been critical since the end of the war became more readily available and our production rate started to rise. In August, when we introduced the new Special, we turned out better than 40,000 automobiles. In September, our millionth postwar car came off the line. Early in October, we passed the 316,000 mark, set in 1941, as Buick's all-time production record for a full calendar year. Every car since then, of course, has COPYRIGHT, 1g49, BUICK MOTOR DIVISION. GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION 3 �BUICK MAGAZINE Buick Super, Model 56C, Two-Door, Six-Passenger Convertible added to the record, and for the model year 1949 we reached a total of approximately 400,000 new automobiles. Sales, needless to say, have kept apace or ahead of production. Public demand for Buick cars continues to be high, and acceptance of the new Special has been little short of sensational. The year in general gave added confidence and courage to us at the factory, for every development has served to confirm our postwar model and production-planning program. We are now ready to enter the 1950 model year in excellent position, with strategical advantages and with a vastly increased number of Buick owners. Buick owners traditionally are loyal and discerning; they are people who know and appreciate values. And that brings me up to the story I want to tell with regard to our 1950 line. It is a fact, and we recognize it, that Buick owners do not always remain in the same price class when they purchase new cars. A Super owner, for instance, frequently moves up to the Roadmaster model, or he might switch to a lighter and smaller Special. The important thing is that a great majority of our owners always want another Buick Special, Model 41D, Four-Door, 4 Six-Passenger, Buick when they think about a new car. We had that fact very strongly in mind when we planned our 1950 line. The result is this: For 1950, we have the greatest spread of cars across the market that Buick has offered in postwar years. If you want your next car to be the finest automobile that money can buy, incorporating all the famed Buick qualities supplemented with extra luxury and appointments, we offer the Roadmaster "130" sedan, the Roadmaster estate wagon, the Roadmaster convertible, or the Roadmaster Riviera. If you want a smaller, lighter car, one with all the Buick fundamentals but with emphasis on economy and practical operation, there is the Special three-passenger coupe. In between, the Buick line for 1950 has a car to meet almost every requirement and to fit, as well, the pocketbook of nearly every new car buyer. Mr. Chayne, our chief engineer, reviews elsewhere in this issue the technical features of the 1950 line, but I want to touch on a few points just briefly. In the first place, you will find each one of the models to be new. The three Special models brought out last August have undergone Tourback Sedan �JANUARY 1950 .ct le, ld id ile :k .t- :1- .r, as al iO t, r. m 1t e, :e 1e -- Buick RoadmMttt, Model 72, Fofil-Dooc, Six-Passcngtt, Toucback Sedan some changes, and the others ranging from Specials through the Roadmasters all are brand new from stem to stem. You will see that they carry out the beautiful styling style lines which are proving of the recent Specials-the to be the most popular in Buick history. Likewise, on the 1950 models, you will find the sensational new Buick front end with the combination bumper and grille. The new front end, you know, is one of the first developments of its kind in the automobile industry to make possible shorter over-all length without sacrificing interior roominess. Our owners have been virtually unanimous in welcoming the shorter car made possible by the bumpergrille combination. More than that, the bumper-grille combination, built of tough steel, has an important safety factor. The nine strong grille bars and the two bombshaped bumper guards give vastly more protection out in front than a bumper alone. Visibility is improved in the 1950 line, and all the new cars are shorter and lower, with no sacrifice of road clearance. In all models, there is increased rear seat hiproom, the increase in some instances being as much as thirteen inches. A word about engines. In our 1950 line, we have an engine tailored to the specific needs of each series. A new engine, the F-263, has been developed for the Super Series. That means three different engines with five different horsepower ratings, and each with higher compression ratios. All of them are of the famed, Buickpioneered, Fireball valve-in-head design, of course, with each engine precisely built for the job it has to do in each of our three series. Above all, in each of these beautiful models, regardless of size or cost, there are the basic qualities that are so synonymous with the word "BUICK." Each has the matchless ride, the incomparable readability, the comfort, the power and full quality that only a Buick offers. Dynaflow continues to be standard equipment on the Roadmaster Series and optional on the Super and Special Series. Dynaflow's popularity on the new Special has been extremely reassuring and proves that Buick buyers, regardless of what series car they buy, are strongly preferential to the Dynaflow torque converter transmission developed by Buick and offered only by Buick. That is, in summarized form, our story for 1950. We hope that you as owners will be as proud of it as we are. We're convinced that Buick will be "The Fashion for 1950" in the automobile industry. In our large selection of models, we are offering what we truly believe will be for every requirement. a "Travelmate" Buick Roadmaster, Model 76R, Two-Door, Six-Passenger, Riviera s �the new IN ANNOUNCING that feel we 1950, for Buicks we have achieved a new high standard in those elements of design which automobile· make for owner satisfaction. As for styling, we have new grace and fleetness of line, By CHARLES A. CRAYNE while providing more roomiChief Engineer ness and comfort with greater Buick Motor Division safety and ease of control. In these new cars, Buick's traditional riding qualities, performance, and roadability have been further improved by new engineering developments. And now all of these improved qualities are available in various chassis and body styles which provide a wide choice of models in three series with four wheelbase and five horsepower ratings to suit the needs of a wide range of buyers. The jaunty, tapering style created by the blend of the front fender into the jet flow of the rear fender is brand new, but distinctly Buick. It is accentuated by the new belt molding treatment on Special Series models and by the protective fender molding on the Deluxe models in the Special Series, and on all Super and Roadmaster models. The lines imply power and grace. An outstanding innovation is the single-unit bumper and grille found on all the 1950 Buicks. Not only does this new front end contribute materially to Buick's solid, hugthe-road appearance but it is a big factor in a major achievement of great importance in these new cars. By combining the bumper and grille, it has been possible to materially shorten the over-all length of the car and, at the same time, to increase its wheelbase. The net result is a gain in riding comfort and, at the same time, greater maneuverability, easier par king, better vision, and improved front-end appearance. Furthermore, the new grille bars are additional bumper guards and will withstand impact damage as well as the massive, torpedo-shaped bumper guards themselves. Each grille bar is individually attached and can be removed for replacement. The car cannot "lock horns" with the car 6 ahead. These and many other features make the new front end an outstanding advance in car design. The new Buicks are lower, but with ample head room. Driver and passengers alike will enjoy the advantages of noteworthy is the greatly improved vision. Particularly large, curved, one-piece windshield in the SO and 70 Series models. Passengers will also enjoy an increase of a full fourteen inches in hiproom in the Models 41 and 41D, and almost thirteen inches in all the four-door sedans of the Super and Roadmaster Series. Structurally, the new bodies are stiffer, more shockproof and weaveproof than ever before. The wide choice the buyer is offered in selecting his 1950 Buick is designed to meet a large variety of needs. The Buick Special Series 40 cars are on 121½-inch wheelbase and include seven different types - Jetback and Tourback sedan in Standard and Deluxe; two-door, threepassenger Jetback coupe; and a two-door, six-passenger Jetback sedanet in Standard or Deluxe finish. The Buick Super Series SOhas five models on 121 ½-inch wheelbase, including four-door, six-passenger Tourback sedan; two-door, six-passenger Jetback sedanet; two-door, six-passenger convertible; two-door, six-passenger Riviera; and four-door, six-passenger estate wagon. In addition, there is a 125½-inch wheelbase Super on which is mounted a four-door, six-passenger Tourback sedan. The Buick Roadmaster Series 70 has five models on a wheelbase of 126¾ inches and one model on 130¾-inch wheelbase. These are the same types as the Super. A complete line of new Buick Fireball engines with higher horsepower and higher compression ratios has been provided to give top performance for this entire range of cars. In addition to the stepped-up compression ratios and higher horsepowers in all series, the Buick Super for 1950 �nt n. of 1e 11 JANUARY has a bra.nd-new F-263 Fireball valve-in-hand, straighteight engine to give this Series more brilliant performance than ever before. This new engine has the basic Fireball design used on the Special and Roadmaster models. However, the total displacement is 263.3 cubic inches, as compared with 248.1 for Series 40 and 320.2 for Series 70 models. The result is a substantial increase in power and acceleration for the Series 50, with no sacrifice in normal gasoline mileage. Furthermore, for added life and performance, this new Fireball engine has larger bearings, crankshaft, connecting rod pins, and shorter and lighter connecting rods and pistons. A further engine improvement for 1950 is that all Buick models, except those in the 40 Series having Synchro-Mesh transmission, are equipped with hydraulic valve lifters, assuring a which keep valves correctly seated-thus smoother, quieter, and more powerful engine. All Buick engines for 1950 have the highest compression ratio compatible with present-day available fuel. Buick continues to take advantage of every advance in fuel performance. On Series 40, compression ratio with Dynaflow is 7.2 to 1; with Synchro-Mesh it is 6.6 to 1. On the Super Series 50, compression is 7.2 to 1 with Dynaflow and 6.9 to 1 with Synchro-Mesh. On Roadmaster cars which are all equipped with Dynaflow, compression ratio is 7.2 to 1. The new 1950 Buicks are mounted on chassis which are designed not only to be quiet originally but to stay that way. In the first place, the rigidity of the structure itself has been increased through scientific design and through an increased use of welding providing maximum rigidity withbehind out useless dead weight. Many fundamentals 1950 Buick's outstanding riding qualities for 1950 are engineered into this chassis to eliminate swaying and swerving and to improve level-riding qualities. When it comes to comfort features and those characteristics which make the car a delight to own, we could run on indefinitely. The new heating and ventilating systems provide comfort in any kind of weather to a degree never before achieved. But when it comes to reviewing comfort features probably greatest of them all is the contribution made by Dynaflow, which now has behind it millions upon millions of miles of satisfactory use in the hands of Buick owners. and With Dynaflow now standard on the Roadmasters available on all other models, it still is the biggest thing in cars since the self-starter. Its smoothness under all conditions and its simplicity of operation and outstanding convenience and safety are still only available in Buick. This sensational drive has proved its reliability under all conditions of road and weather. It is tough and sturdy. It needs no babying, and on the slippery roads of winter it contributes amazingly to steadiness and safety. From an engineering standpoint, one of the most interesting observations of Dynaflow is that after undergoing the ultimate test of public use of about two years, Dynaflow Drive has not required a single basic change in design of any kind. It is difficult, if not impossible, to think of any other completely new automotive development of which this is true. This has everything it takes for smooth operation, right down to the ability to rock the car when feature which will be getting out of a snowdrift-a appreciated by motorists in northern belts. Power delivery with Dynaflow is always unfailingly right, for every condition of road and speed and slippery going is made safer through this liquid-smooth and equalized power delivery with its instantly correct driving ratio. This smooth drive is delivered to the road through low-pressure tires, mounted on wide rims, which are characteristic of all Buick models for 1950. d :s :f s e e Increased rigidity in the chassis of the new 1950 Buicks makes it possible to improve even further Buick's famous stability and level ride. 7 ��MoRE AND MORE in recent years, Buick cars have become the "fashion of the highway." It's a trend of the times-a noticeable trend-and not without good reasons. Take styling for example. For decades now, Buick automobiles have been acknowledged styling leaders, always smartly distinctive in appearance and consistently first with the best in contemporary automotive design. And this year, more than ever before, the new Buicks are styling standouts. There's a happy resumption of that swift-tapering sweep in the new Buick fender lines. There's a completely new, one-unit bumper and grille that sets a new trend in front-end construction. The pleasing, functional Ventiports-much copied everywhere-are newly positioned, and are designed to enhance the streamlined appearance of the car. Over all, there is Buick's famous road-hugging look, which spells smooth and graceful going. But styling is not the whole story. There's engineering to be considered too, and such things as power, roominess, comfort, and ride. For fashion is more than skin deep. It is more than a fad or a fancy. For a motorcar to become the "fashion of the highway," as Buick has, it must be distinctive in more than just appearance. It must consistently satisfy the exacting demands of motorists everywhere for spirited performances, rugged dependability, real value, and simplicity of operation. Today's driver, for example, wants an automobile with power, even power to spare. He uses it intelligently, almost never uses it all, but he wants it just the same, for use when he happens to need it. In Buick, he finds the famous action-packed Fireball engines delivering 115 and 122 horsepower on the Special, 124 and 128 horsepower on the Super Series, and 15 2 horsepower on the Roadmasters. Fashion on the highways calls for power; so, more and more, it calls for Buick. It is good, too, to be considerate of your guests, and to provide them with the same comforts you enjoy yourself. And here Buick steals the show. For Buick builds solidly on a massive chassis, with balanced frame, torquetube drive and all-coil springs ... suspends the engine on Hi-Poised mounts of tremor-hushing rubber ... cushions the miles on large, low-pressure tires ... to produce an unsurpassed roadability and ride which are the envy of the industry. It is also a trend of the times to seek out simplicity, to abandon the intricacies of earlier-day driving controls. And in this department, too, Buick ranks first with the utmost of ease, for Buick is the one and only with Dynaflow Drive, which makes unnecessary the old-fashioned shifts from low to second to high, providing instead a new and ultramodern way of passing from zero to maximum speed-transitions as effortlessly smooth as the gliding of a gull. Here, you find neither clutch pedal nor gears that shift in the usual way. Instead, whirling oil does all the work, while the driver just steers and steps on the gas treadle or brake pedal. More and more, people are turning to Buick because of the wonderful simplicity and smoothness of the sensational Dynaflow Drive. It's easy to join this smart parade, because Dynaflow is now available on every car in the Buick line. Originally confined to the Roadmaster, later made available on the Super, Dynaflow is now also an optional item on the Special Series. And so on down the long list of Buick features. The Buick fundamentals that make for high styling, lively performance, and matchless ride are characteristics of the Buick name, not just of a single series. These fundamentals are embodied in every model in the Buick line, and so are available at a wide range of prices to suit the preferences of virtually all sections of the vast motoring public. In short, Buick has so much of quality to offer to so many people that it is only natural for Buick to be the fashion for 1950. �BUICK MAGAZINE \ YES, SIR, the buyer's the boss.

It seems to just float along." That's a fair sample of how Buick owners are talking about Dynaflow Drive. It gives you a hint of the praise that keeps flooding in from drivers who are experiencing for the first time the pleasures of driving with Dynaflow. They tell us how Dynaflow reduces the strain and fatigue of stop-and-go city driving. They say that on longer trips Dynaflow enables them to drive hundreds of miles without tiring. Again and again, they remark about the smooth-assilk transitions from standstill to desired cruising speeds. They say it voluntarily too, without being asked. It seems that Dynaflow drivers are so highly pleased that they just can't resist telling us about it. If you have never driven a Buick with Dynaflow Drive and are skeptical of these claims, we invite you to slip behind the wheel of one of these sleek, new Dynaflow Buicks. Take it out into city traffic and down the country roads. Put it through its paces. We're sure you will be convinced. At first-if you're accustomed to a conventional car14 your left foot will grope for the clutch pedal. But the pedal isn't there, and you quickly realize you don't need it. So you let your left foot relax. At the steering wheel, you find a selector lever, and a quadrant marked, "P, N, D, L, R." You set the lever at "P" or "N" (parking or neutral). and start the motor. Then you move the lever to "D" and drive away-as easily as that. Now, more pleasant surprises. No gears whine under the floor boards, because there aren't any sliding gears in the Dynaflow transmission; only oil whirling smoothly and softly. You move off into traffic as gently as a sailboat blown by the wind. You feel none of the jerks or hesitation so Instead, there is a noticeable in other transmissions. gradual, graceful climb from lowest to highest speed. This is the silken-smooth transition that Dynaflow owners talk and write about ... the effortless glide that gives the Dynaflow Buick an entirely different feel. YOU will be praising it too. You find you can drive in nearly all kinds of traffic situations without shifting even once. To stop at a light, you merely take your foot off the gas and step on the brake; then, to drive on again, you merely step on the accelerator, and away you glide. You move the selector lever for reverse, of course, and also when you park the car. But for most driving you just set the lever at "D" and forget it. pullRemember, though, if you need extra power-for ing out of heavy going or for climbing steep grades with is yours for the asking. Set the lever at heavy loads-it "L" and you have power on the pull that's not equaled by low gear in any conventional car. "L" also gives you reserve braking power for going down steep hills. Dynaflow is a help, too, in getting out of heavy snow, mud, or sand. With a gentle but firm motion, you simply slip the lever back and forth between "L" and "R." The car responds by rocking to and fro. No matter which of the new 1950 Buick models you choose, Dynaflow is available for it. It is standard equipment on all Roadmaster models and optional at extra cost on the Supers and Specials. You'll want to make this masterpiece your~.

You have read about the care our engineers have exercised to make these cars liyely, comfortable, easy to handle, and dependable in operation. We know you put a lot of faith in the ability of these men, and in the assurance of efficient manufacture which the Buick name gives. We are grateful for that faith, and earnestly try to deserve it by doing a good job all along the line. But we want you to know that we do not stop with the factory. We have sought to build a dealer body of the very highest type and most complete dependability. We have hunted out men in whom we believe you can put your full confidence, even as you put your confidence in Buick. And this applies not only to the men you meet when you place your order. It applies alse>to the service departments of Buick dealers, which receive the benefit of factory training in methods, factory-approved tools and equipment, and access to factory-engineered parts. We have a very hard-headed business reason for doing this. We fully realize that any manufacturer's most valued asset is not his plant or machinery or even the brain power of his engineers and designers. It is the faith the public puts in his good name. The confidence you have in our product and the· men who sell it. Your willingness to accept our word about the quality of our product and its comparative value. Knowing automobiles, and current automobile values, we do not hesitate to say this year, ''Better Buy Buick." And that is not simply an advertising phrase urging you to spend your money. It is a piece of advice, based on our knowledge of this car, the man who sells it, the service facilities available to keep it performing well-and what the same money will buy elsewhere. Better Buy Buick-for the simple reason that there is no better buy anywhere else today-and no better place to buy a car than from your Buick dealer.

WHEN BETTER AUTOMOBILES ARE BUILT BUICK WILL BUILD THEM Your Key to Greater Value , �VOLUME Alaska Highway the adventurous 12 NUMBER 2 AUGUST 1950 This magazine comes to you as a friendly messenger from your Buick dealer. It provides an additional means of saying that you are a welcome member of the Buick family beckons motorist By BRADFORD ANGIER ALASKA HIGHWAYsole overland route between civilization and this harried hemisphere's last great frontier - is a 1,523-mile engineering epic that ANGIER arrows through a log Prospectors still can cabin land where pan wages from nearly every river bridged the "good old days" by the Alaska Highway still exist. This motorist's dream-come-true 1s the one spectacular journey of its sort in the world, for the right type of traveler. Distance is the potential dilemma for many. It has two _nightmarish horns: time and expense. Mileages, for United States residents, climb well up into the thousands. First objective for most Americans will be Edmonton, Alberta, and this provincial capital is itself about 350 miles north of the border. From Edmonton, it is 469 miles to Dawson Creek, British Columbia, starting point of the Alaska Highway, and from there it is 1,523 miles to Fairbanks. You'll need at least one unhurried month for relaxed enjoyment. Those who rush impatiently through, tensely fighting every mile of a winding, mountainous road not built for speed, probably won't have much fun. As for expense, the further one proceeds from sources of supply the more transportation costs boost prices. Gasoline along the road north spirals to more than double the usual scales. Costs of meals and lodgings, however, are not much above familiar fees; operators maintain their profits by offering services less fancy than functional. Plain but pleasantly clean accommodations-often sheltered by incredibly magnificent wilds, so awesome that some find them overwhelming-are scattered at reasonable Otter Falls, at Mile 996, on the Alaska intervals. Modern pioneers, axes ringing, are hewing more out of the forests. It is still a good idea to make reservations in advance, though, unless one is equipped to take advantage of the free cooking and camping sites. Motorists will want to carry cameras, pocket flashlights, and comfortable clothing suitable for New Hampshire or Minnesota. If you fish, remember that along the way sparkle hundreds of crystal streams so silvered with trout and Arctic grayling that sourdoughs claim one has to hide behind a pine to bait a hook.

Present-day highway voyageurs will find it easy to pinpoint their progress by means of the Alaska Highway mile posts that begin with notable Mile Zero at Dawson Creek, where the last railroad from the outside ends in an angular jumble of pungent grain elevators and cattle pens. You roll toward the stupendous Arctic along a four-lane graveled and graded modernity that's a happy surprise after the CORPORATION 3 �BUICK MAGAZINE Peace of Mind Before tackling the Alaska Highway, your Buick should be very thoroughly checked and serviced by the specially trained "Authorized Buick Service" mechanics who follow factory specifications as they go over •your car from top -to tread. Worn tires are best replaced. Add chains and a jack if you don't have them already. Then relax. The friendly Alaska Highway truckers won't pass you by if you run into difficulty. Most of them can make temporary repairs, and at the worst they'll get you to a garage. Necessary parts, if not in stock, will be no farther away than a few hours by air. Commercia,l planes follow the road north in regularly scheduled flights. Modern telephone and telegraph facilities also parallel the wilderness way. Air view of part of the Alaska often rough going between Dawson Creek and Edmonton. The highway narrows later to a well-maintained, two-lane thoroughfare, but it also straightens and levels as the sub-Arctic country opens up. The first day's journey, as a matter of fact, is the least picturesque. The public's idea of Alaska Highway conditions dates back eight years to when the then 1,592-mile trail-thrust through mountains, muskegs, and mosquitoes by blood, sweat, and war-was a temporary military lifeline to a million and a third square miles normally inhabited by less than 100,000 people. Millions of dollars' worth of permanent bridges have been put in since 1942, innumerable curves unbent, and many a formerly fast and frenzied incline has been tamed to little more than a "Thank you, Ma'm." The highway is an allweather route, but dust conditions are encountered quite frequently during the summer months. The safeness, sanity, and smoothness of this vjrile wilderness way becomes all the more amazing as one rolls deeper into the golden heart of the primitive, primeval wonderland.

Gold-fevered prospectors who stampeded hurriedly northward from Edmonton in 1898 over virtually the same route arrived at Teslin two years later! The main gateway for this Klondike gold rush of a half century ago was Whitehorse, now Mile 916, in whose still-bustling center the real Sam McGee's cabin stands near a modern, three-story apartment house built of logs. Pulse-quickening hulks of old river boats, which bore many a hopeful tenderfoot 450 miles northward up the Yukon River to Dawson City, sit rotting near by. Newer woodburning sternwheelers still paddle and winch their way on the nine-day round trip to the fringe of the Arctic Circle at an all-inclusive cost for tourists of approximately ten dollars a day. You can also take a 110-mile excursion by scenic trestle railroad past lovely Lake Bennett and its old log church to Skagway. Passengers now cross the mountains in plush comfort-although some do complain of the gaseous coal• •w burning stoves. Automobiles can be driven to the Alaskan coast over the Haines Road which swings Pacificward from the Alaska Highway 100 miles above Whitehorse, along the famous o 1d Dalton Trail of stam· pede years. But, even if one turns here, he shouldn't miss experiencing the stark and savage grandeur of Kluane Lake, a few miles farther north. From Fairbanks, northern terminus of the wilderness way-where still-rich workings have produced more than one hundred million dollars in gold since they caused the rriodern city to mushroom in 1902, where there are three months of nearly continuous daylight, and where it is only a short drive to record-high Mount McKinley and its luxurious national park facilities-the traveler can accelerate down the Richardson Highway to the seaport town of Valdez; or, swinging west on the also excellent Glenn Highway, to meet the ocean instead, at Anchorage. There are other alternate scenic routes. Ask about them along the way. Some motorists prefer to stow their Buicks aboard a comfortable coastwise ship at the top of their Alaska Highway journey and to sail restfully southward to Vancouver or Seattle down the sheltered, usually smooth, Inside Passage. Juneau, Ketchikan, and other Alaskan ports otherwise inaccessible except by air are interesting stops along this calm, lake-like salt water route where bright glaciers, thick, verdant forests, towering waterfalls, and cloud-scouring peaks drop sheer to a placid island-protected sea.

In the Music Shed, the men of the orchestra present an informal appearance in their white summer coats. Cool country air and the · gentle rustle of trees combine with the music. But the best picture of relaxed enjoyment during the music is that presented by the pillows, Carrying blankets, "lawn sitters." umbrellas, and picnic lunches, they lie or sit on the wide expanse of lawn in front of the Music Shed and absorb the music of the masters. So hushed is this audience and so efficient the shed's accoustics that the music can be heard distinctly hundreds of yards away. The first Berkshire Music Festival was held in 1934, with the orchestra playing in a circus tent. After Mrs. Andrew Hepburn and Miss Mary Aspinwall Tappan presented the officials, to festival estate Tanglewood Koussevitzky stressed the need for a permanent structure. It took a storm to provoke the required financial aid. Most of the concert on August 12, 1937, which had been scheduled for radio broadcast, was never heard. The musicians and audience were drenched as wind and rain tore at the canvas tent, and valuable instruments were soaked. At the end of this fateful concert, Dr. announced there would be no Koussevitzky more unless a permanent shed could be built. More than $20,000 was subscribed that night, and within a few weeks $80,000 had been given. The shed was ready the next year. A week before the festival begins, the gates swing open to admit 425 of Tanglewood youthful students of music. For six weeks, Dr. known informally to the young Koussevitzky, students as "Koussy," keeps them busy every minute they are awake. The hand-picked student body of 450 last year represented states, the District of Columbia, thirty-eight Alaska, and twenty-one foreign countries.

The setting is ideal-a great natural park of 700 acres on the northwest edge of town, where mammoth upthrusts of red sandstone tower awesomely hundreds of feet in the air. The time is exactly right-in the evening, starting when the sun's last rays are reflected from distant Pikes Peak, and continuing into darkness under a canopy of stars, with the moon suspended above the ghostlike rocks, and the yellow light of the campfire lighting the shadowed canyon walls. There's a friendly atmosphere, too-a spirit of informality, and much good-natured banter. When the dinner gong sounds, at sundown, everyone lines up cafeteria style and gets his chuck, western style, on a durable tin plate. Crowds average about 700, but everyone's served in twenty minutes flat. And the food is fine-fried chicken, or mountain trout, with all the trimmin's, including sourdough biscuits baked over charcoal. Then the crowd gathers 'round the campfire for the after-dinner fun. There's considerable horseplay, including the "branding" of a "dude" from the east. State names are called, and this prompts the singing of songs like "Missouri Waltz," "Sidewalks of New York," or "Deep in the Heart of Texas." The evening wouldn't be complete without a dance or two. Mixed with this audience participation is western entertainment by westerners, who manufacture some fine music with mouth organ and guitar. When the last song is sung and the flames die away into a glowing bed of coals, hundreds of visitors tell themselves, "This is the most enjoyable evening I've had in many years." Even after they reach home, they write to their hosts, the Colorado Springs Junior Chamber of Commerce, to tell them what a fine time they had. These colorful chuck wagon dinners are held on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday nights from June through September as a community, nonprofit project sponsored by the Jaycees. The Jaycees preside in western attire, and Jaycee wives help prepare the food. Tickets should be obtained in advance at the office of the Chamber of Commerce. Last year, some 25,000 persons attended, representing every state in the union and many foreign countries. If you're out Colorado way, stop in at one of the covered wagon information bureaus located on all main highways into Colorado Springs. The Jaycees will be glad to answer your questions about the Pikes Peak region apd will be pleased to have you stay for a chuck wagon dinner in the Garden of the Gods. �AUGUST I "The Post Start of the boat Office" is festooned 19S0 ride with messages Ausable Chasm PHOTOS 1gslike York," evening ortwo. ation is •s,who mouth : flames 10dreds 1emost years," vrite to Junior what a ersare FridaY r asa ,redby ,vestern 1efoo<l: atthe tended, JO and Down Visitors explore By DOLORES B. the rapids canyon in Adirondack JEFFORDS AusABLE CHASM, through which flows the Ausable River as it nears Lake Champlain on its descent from the Adirondacks, is a place of impressive scenic beauty and geological interest. One of the outstanding natural wonders of America, the chasm is a mile and a half long, formed by vertical precipices of solid quartz sandstone, towering from 100 to 200 feet above the stream. Trees grow along the edge of the cliffs, and dense masses of evergreens cling to the sheer walls. Odd formations appear in the rock -a gigantic elephant's head, massive columns like those of some ancient temple, deep grottoes and caves; and here and there a dim and lofty recess suggesting the nave of a cathedral-all in varicolored sandstone: gray, rose, green, cream, and buff. The discoverer of this wonder made a perilous descent into it with the aid of ropes; but the visitor of today may explore it in perfect safety, and it is a rare delight. Part of the trip is made on foot, by means of a railed walk along ledges of the cliffs, at FROM AUSABLE CHASM CO. AND NYSPIX-COMMERCE by boat region by boat and on foot times close to the water and again high above it. Steel bridges, connected by substantial stairs, cross the great cleft at different elevations, making accessible all its varied features, and providing views, from all heights and angles, of the hurrying river, its waterfalls, whirlpools, and rapids. At the upper end of the chasm is Rainbow Falls, and a short distance beyond is Horseshoe Falls, and the bridge of U. S. Highway 9. The cleft narrows at Pulpit Rock, widening out at the Elephant's Head and again at the Fernery. Some of the features have sinister names-Smuggler's Pass, Hell's Gate, and the Devil's Oven. Others, such as Jacob's Well and Jacob's Ladder, are Biblical. One of the most popular curiosities is the Post Office-a natural rock platform above the water, overhung by the cliffs, furnished with benches, where sight-seers have left an assortment of cards and letters fastened upon the sandstone "letterboxes." At Table Rock, about midway of the chasm, the walk ends, and the rest of the trip is a thrilling boat ride. Handled by skilled men, the boats are swept by the current through the Grand Flume-where the water has a depth of sixty feet, and the cliffs are not over twenty feet apart-past the Sentry Box and the Broken Needle, and into a wide pool. A sharp angle in the canyon carries the boats over the first swift rapids and into Whirlpool Basin. From there, another sharp angle takes them over another rapids, and on to the boat landing at the lower end of the chasm. Here, the passengers find motor buses waiting to return them to the entrance grounds and parking lot. Some 100,000 visitors see Ausable Chasm every year, and there are accommodations near the entrance for those who wish to linger in its picturesque setting. If it were in a wilderness, the chasm would still attract visitors. But it is near Lake Champlain, in New York's great Adirondack vacationland, surrounded by inviting resort towns, and a magnificent background of mountains, lakes, deep valleys, and evergreen forests. U. S. Highway 9, running from New York to Montreal, passes over it, and other excellent roads radiate to near-by recreational centers. Ausable Chasm is accessible and worth a visit. 1 �V L -=---Mr. Fred L.

HEALD ONE of the easiest and cheapest ways to explore and enjoy the great peaks, forests, and deserts of the far west is to join a mountain club. These friendly organizations range from informal groups of twenty congenial people who like to fish, hike, camp, climb, or ski to the 6,500 members of California's Sierra Club with their infinite variety of activities and interests. But, whichever club you choose, the rewards will be far in excess of the small membership fee. For these clubs offer you a well-stocked bargain counter of outdoor recreation, summer and winter. You can accompany parties on regularly scheduled local walks each Sunday to the summit of a near-by mountain or visit some scenic spot, have lunch in the open, and return the same evening. Then, week-end camping trips are featured every month. On the west coast, particularly in California, these are year-round events, and they include all the well-known national parks, monuments, and forests, as well as out-of-the-way corners of mountain and desert. The larger clubs also offer summer outings, a longer form of outdoor vacation lasting from Western Mountain Clubs Tbefollowingis a list of mountainclubsin tbe far west by states: CALIFORNIA Berkeley Hiking Club l 049 Spruce Street, Berkeley California Alpine Club 91 7 Pacific Building, San Francisco Contra Costa Hills Club Inc. 1689 Telegraph Avenue, Oakland Ramblers 3346 Wood Terrace, Los Angeles Roamer Hiking Club Inc. 3509 Tenth Avenue, Los Angeles Sierra Club 1050 Mills Tower, San Francisco.

Each year, a different region is visited, and many enthusiasts return season after season to accompany these carefree; democratic caravans to the high places. All you have to do to enjoy such an outing among some of the grandest mountain scenery on the continent is to walk or ride horseback between camps as they are moved forward every few days. Your dunnage is carried by pack train, and the commissary is set up by the time you arrive in camp. Competent leaders are provided for hikes and mountain climbs, and even campfire entertainment is organized by an efficient committee. These all-expense trips average about sixty dollars for two weeks-less than the simplest mountain vacation you could arrange on your own. Knapsacking is popular in all the clubs. Some sponsor "cache and carry" walking trips costing around thirty dollars for two weeks. Provisions are brought in by pack train to prearranged points and are picked up by the parties en route. In this way, you may be in the mountains continuously without carrying a heavy pack or going out for supplies. Besides these trips, the larger clubs maintain rustic lodges and cabins for week ends of fishing, hiking, and climbing in the summer and snow sports in winter. Some of the clubs have centrally located city headquarters, with libraries of outdoor and nature books and periodicals, a full- or part-time secretary, and lounging and social rooms for members. The bigger clubs, too, usually schedule a weekly dinner in a downtown restaurant, followed by lectures, talks, and motion pictures on outdoor subjects. Most clubs have sections and smaller groups devoted to special activities-such as rock climbing, skiing, nature study, conservation, science, and photography. The larger groups publish a bimonthly or monthly newspaper, an annual journal with illustrated articles contributed by members, and practically all the clubs put out a schedule of organized hikes, trips, and activities. Dances, banquets, and social events are also prominent features of these convivial organizations. It costs from one dollar to six dollars to join a mountain club, and it is a sound investment. Membership pays rich dividends in enjoyment today, and helps you insure similar pleasures for others in the future. For the mountain clubs wage a ceaseless battle to preserve our few remaining pieces of western wilderness for generations to come. �AUGUST 1950 CKIFTSMIN'S FAIR Handicrafts displayed fferent return : careilaces, luting :enery eback rward edby upby ietent mtain :ntis These ollars lOUn· own. :lubs, trips eeks. ,pre· • the ie in ying iain· lsof ,mer iubs .vith and and The ,kly Iby iut· ,lier 1 as -va· ·ger ws· ted ·ac· of :es, ,nt to st· in 1ar he :e· rn in Mrs. Morris Watson, one of the league teachers, the old-fashioned demonstrates of hand weaving group to an interested of visitors New Hampshire's Belknap art Recreation Area PHOTOS By ESTHER T.

In August of each year, the townsfolk stage a three-day fiesta, known as "Old Spanish Days"-a celebration designed to recapture the beauty and spirit of the past that is the heritage of Southern California, from the days of the padres and the dons. Religious services, historical pageants, parades, music, dancing, horse shows, and garden tours make up a part of the great 12 program. There is street dancing. You will see and hear wandering minstrels. There are flower marts, and reviews of many kinds to re-enact romantic days of long ago. The visitor will listen to the famous mission bells, and hear the songs of yesterday. During the two spectacular parades, you may see stage holdups as in the days of the early west; an authentic reproduction of an oldtime blacksmith shop, and historical floats of every type depicting the early life of Santa Barbara. In addition, there is the Children's Parade, with an original and charming array of senoritas, gay caballeros, and matadores, with their flower-bedecked pets. Weddings of the Spanish days are reenacted with a promenade of the guests wearing costumes gaily decorated with braid and lace. The caballeros will ride Arabian horses with silver-studded saddles, while Spanish serenades are sung. Many of the actors and actresses taking part in the pageantry are descendants of participants in the actual events. The fiesta usually closes with an illumination of the mission towers, the ringing of the bells, and a display of fireworks. It is not that Santa Barbara dwells in the past; the fiesta is just an expression of appreciation for its rich history, and a reminder that there is �AUGUST 1950 ) I " ~ra r· d :s h g ,f e r " .. ___ ...... ~ Fine lace anp colorful costumes in Santa Barbara are seen everywhere durina "Old Spanish Days'' anta Barbaras charm room today for gaiety and laughter just as there was one hundred years ago.

BUICK MOTOR DIVISION, GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION TRAVEL IS BIG BUSINESS OVER 70,000,000 Americans are going vacationing in family cars this year. It is estimated that they will spend between six and seven billion dollars at gas stations, restaurants, motor courts, hotels, resorts, and camps. Travel is, indeed, big business, especially travel by car. Last year, four out of five vacations-eighty-four per cent to be exact-were motoring vacations. One quick look at soaring 1950 automobile production figures is enough to convince anyone that the number of motoring vacations this year will reach a new record high. This, it seems to me, is significant. Too often when we think of the part which the automobile industry plays in our economic life, we confine our attention to facts about the payrolls of the automobile companies and their suppliers, or to the amounts they spend each year for materials. Important as this is, it does not complete the picture. We are inclined to forget the multitude of businesses which are not connected with automobile manufacturing at all, but which are almost entirely dependent upon the automobile for their existence. This is largely true of the vast "tourist industry," an omnibus title which loosely groups together tens of thousands of independently owned and operated enterprises that serve the motorist on his travels. As automobile registrations increase, this tourist industry expands.

Rotate positions of the five wheels (includto 5,000 miles. ing spare) at intervals of 4,000 Frequent checking of tire pressure is one of the cheapest and best forms of tire care. Underinflated tires wear more rapidly; also, side walls are damaged by overflexing, internal heat, and by strain on the fabric in taking bumps. Overinflated tires wear excessively on the center of the tread. When wheels are out of balance or improperly aligned, wear on the tires is uneven, sometimes reducing tire life as much as seventy-five per cent. Your Buick dealer has the special equipment and the trained mechan- Take motor courts for example. Twenty-five years ago, they were a rare phenomenon. By 1941, there were already 20,000. Now, there are 30,000, with approximately 550,000 rental units, accommodating millions of guests each year. And on every important highway you can see new motels under construction. This is just one phase of a tourist business which is growing on every hand-resorts, camps, ranches, hotels, housekeeping cabins, and other facilities. Tourist trade is a factor of importance in the economic plans of most state govern~ ments. Nearly every state makes a sizable annual appropriation to advertise its attractions to the motorist. And justly so. According to reliable estimates, tourist revenue in New York, Florida and California-the three leaders-totaled two and one half billion dollars last year. Yes, travel is big business. We Americans have found that the automobile, besides being a convenient and economical mode of transportation in our daily living, is also a means of expressing a basic impulse to adventure. When vacation time rolls around, we give vent to this desire and take to the open road for faraway places with strange-sounding names, and thereby give rise to a trade that typifies America-the travel industry, which can thrive only in a free and prosperous land whose people have the liberty to go where they choose and a standard of living that includes traveling with comforts which, a century ago, would have been the envy of a king. ics to do an expert aligning and balancing job for you, at a cost that is abundantly repaid in terms of improved tire mileage, greater ease of steering, and smoother ride. Periodic rotation of tires, however, is the most obvious way to increase tire mileage. Simple arithmetic shows that if the five tires are rotated every 5,000 miles, then, when the car has been driven 25,000 miles, each tire will have traveled only 20,000 miles. Such rotation is advisable, because the tires on your car do not wear equally in the different wheel_ positions. Tests and measurements have shown that, on the average, tire wear varies in about the following ratios: Left front ... Leftrear ..... . 14% 29% Right front ... 19% Rightrear .... 38% In other words, rear tires wear faster than front tires, and right tires wear faster than left. Rear tires wear faster because they are power driven. But they also wear more evenly than front tires because of· the equalizing effects of braking, traction, and power drive. Front tires wear more slowly because they are free rolling rather than power driven. But they wear less evenly because steering and turning distort them, even when front-end alignment is within specifications. Rotating tires tends to equalize their wear. When the rotating is done, the spare tire should always be included. This gives an active tire a "rest," and gives the spare tire some needed exercise. Tire manufacturers emphasize that using and resting a tire periodically greatly lengthens its life. Switching tires regularly also helps to maintain the quiet, smooth ride and balance built into them by the manufacturer, because it minimizes uneven and spotty tread wear, which generates tire noise and vibration. A good way to rotate your wheels is shown in the diagram below. Do this every 4,000 to 5,000 miles. It will mean better mileage and better car performance.
