These factors are long life and | economical operation, Owing to the requirements of the defense pro- there is likely to be shortage of new c: while the present emer- gency exists. For that reason, any- one contemplating the purchase of a 1942 model will feel that he may be buying a car to last ‘for the dura- ticn” What this duration may be, nobody can predict, but there are| indications that it will be longer than the average life of a car in the ands of its original owner under normal manufacturing conditions. Consequently the buyer will want to be sure that his vehicle is going to run a long time and that it will entail a minimum of expense for re- pa and maintenance. Economical operation is an abso- lute necessity with the amount of asoline available for personal trans- portation likely to be reduced. In the past, many owners have not been particularly concerned about fuel and oil consumption. These things have been relatively inexpensive in this country, and a man who could afford a car at all felt that he could afford to keep it running, so long as its fuel consumption was not ob- viously excessive. Under conditions that exist today in some sections of the country and that may spread to others, however, it isn't a ques- tion of being willing and able to buy i fuel in whatever amount your car| requires. There is going to be just | so much gasoline available at any | price and if one wishes to get the | fullest use of his car he must con- serve it. “I am happy to say that in our 1942 line, our engineers and design- | gram, A notahle contribution ta the lo \nd cfficiency of our new cars is an extension of the use of our own Superfinishing Hrocess We have been using this process of | bearing finishing for several years and our experience with it has con- have no ‘roughed’ bear- | We find that | Superfinished | other.

Commander Tollaksen, who as- sumed command of the Cyane at Ketchikan two weeks ago, is no stranger to Alaskan waters, how- iever, having seen sea duty since 1€17, when he first shipped aboard the Forrest T. Crosby, Washington Tug & Barge Company tug which plied between Seattle and Tenakee. His father, Capt. Mike Tollaksen, cne of the first of the sturdy, in- dependent tug skippers in the rcugh-and-ready days when Port| Townsend was a booming seaport, furnished much of 'the material which Author Norman Reilly Raine employed as background in the famed “Tugboat Annie” stories and motion pictures. Here With Harding It was as a member of the Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps at the University of Washington that Commander Tollaksen, then a cadet officer, made the presiden- tial voyage to Juneau. He was one of a cadet company ‘aboard the| Eagle 57," Navy Reserve training ship. After two years at the University, Tallaksen passed entrance examin- | ations to the Coast Guard Academy at New London, Conn., graduated in 1927. Since then, he has seen duty with the Bering Sea | Patrol in 1928-32 aboard the cuners‘ Chelan and Tahde, following the sea duty with five years in Wash- | ington as assistant communications | officer.

Navy plane has sight=d | persons helieved to be two survivors of the freighter Ethel Shakel, on a raft about 175 miles southeast of San Juan. This is the first intimation that the disabled ship had sunk, although she sent out distress calls the night she foundered when hit by a storm of near hurricane force, The Shakel was formerly the Lib- by Maine, of Seattle, cannery vessel for Libby, McNeill and Libby inter- | ests. She was commanded by Capt. | Hans Bierd, of Seattle, and manned | by 27 officers and men. all of whom shipped out of Seattle last month, Morgenthau requested the Coast Guard to appoint an aide for the first time in history of the service. Tollaksen won the coveted pest and accompanied the Secretary and Mrs. Morgenthau on their visit o Portugal, Spain and France in 1635. Returning from Europe, he studied at Massachusetts Institute of Tech- nelegy to earn a bachelor of science degree in radio engineering, after which he was transferred to the Cutter Taney, hased at Honolulu, as navigation and executive officer. Commander Tollaksen, who was accempanied by his wife and their | young son, will return to Ketchikan tomorrow on the Cyane. ————— ROMER IN PORT The freighter Romer, out of Seattle, arrived in Juneau this afternoon to discharge freight at Irving’s Wharf.
