URE, a trim new Buick makes a might pretty picture
when you see it in your driveway, or watch it wheel by.

But if you could get a mechanic’s-eye view of this big,
broad beauty as it sits on a lift, you’d see an impressive
Picture of rugged brawn that makes Buicks give such a
good account of themselves on the road.

You'd see the full-length torque-tube drive that firms the
whole power relay system, and steadies your going like a
giant hand beneath you.

You’d see all four wheels cushioned by stout coil springs
that are completely service-free, practically breakproof—
and a principal reason for the ever-level Buick ride.

But mainly, you’d see the massive foundation that back-
bones every Buick—the deep, wide, X-member frame
that’s rugged as a rock, and a brute for strength,

So when you look at the beauty of a Buick—the big mile-
age power of its yalve-in-head Fireball Engine—and the
money saving ability of its Dynaflow Drive*—don’t over-
look the'tough stamina that goes with ir all.

And whether you’re looking at a Buick Custom, a Buick
SUPER or a mighty RoapMaster, don’t overlook the fact

Survey Party Finds
Bella Coola Valley
Route Possible

Residents of Bella Coola have or-
zanized a board of trade to press pro-
vincial and federal governments for 4
highway outlet froin Williams Lake to
Bela Coola.

This action followed the return of
a voluntary exploration party that
claims to have discovered a “ridicu-
lously easy route” from Bella Coola
valley to the interior.

Led by Maxie Hickman, trapper,
‘he party included Mike Christensen,
Bill Wright, Elijah Gurr and Forest
Ranger Bill Benwell. 2

The proposed route is-over Bunch
Grass Hills about 50 miles up the Bella
Coola valley, over an easy grade up
the side of a dirt mountain and
through broken rock bluffs to emerge
in the flat timberlands of the Chilcotin
plateau,

“There is not more than 1000 feet of
Tock work involved,” the party report-
ed to the organization meeting of the
board of trade.

The new Bella Coola District Board
of Trade endarsed the findings of the
exploration party and will present the
report to the B.C. public works depart-
ment, foerst service and to the iedera)
member for the area.

Proponents of the plan point out
that this would provide a third road
to the Pacific coast midway between
Vancouyer and Prince~Rupert.
