lures of the current model plus
new beauty, comfort, performance
and quality throughout. To desig-
nate the 1858 Ford as the 50th An
niversary car, medallion has
been placed on the top of the
steering column in combination
with a new half-circle horn
ring. Around the Ford crest
in the center of the emblem are
the words: "50th Anniversary -
1903-1953." L. w. Smead, general
sales manager of Ford Division,
said that Ford's new miracle ride
brings to the high volume field for
the first time the smooth riding
characteristics of much heavier,
costlier cars. 1t is smoother, soft
er and permits the car to hug the
road at high speeds and low, on
rough roads as we'll as on smooth
pavement. 1t is ride which must
be experienced to be appreciated
fully"
Ford again in 1858 leads its field
in offering the widest variety and
choice of power combinations,
safety features and color selec-
tions, Mr.. Smead said. Only Ford
in the high volume class offers
both VS. and cylinder engines
with three transmissions-conven-
tional, overdrive and Fordomatic.
Emphasizing the longer look of
the 1858 Ford is a new chrome
molding through the center of the
rear fenderline and new jet-tube
tail lights with larger signal area

lid handle, mounted below the
Ford crest, with a concealed,
weather protected key-opening and

to the new model. The new hub
caps feature the Ford name in EN-
bossed letters.
The 1858 Fords are available in
the following models: Mainline:

coupe and two-door Ranchwagon;

The name everlasting is applied
to many plants of different species
and of different genera. The
strawfowers commonly sold in
bouquets at roadside stands in the
West belong to the genus He'll
chrysum and are not too closely
related to our subject here consid-
cred. Helichrysum is native of
Australia which has become estab-
lished in America, Europe, Africa
and Asia. Our Pearly Everlasting
is Anaphalis margarotacea which
is native of North America rang
ing there from Newfoundland to
Alaska and south, to Oregon and
North Carolina. 1t has become
established in Europe and Asia.
The Pearly Everlasting grows to
height of about 8 feet with the
stem rather well branched in it's
upper areas. 1t is covered with a
dense white, woolly substance and
has an abundance of leaves. These
Ileaves are about 1-3 inch wide and
to 5 inches long. Their margins
are incurved and the lower slrfac-
es are lighter in color and more
heavily downy than are the upper
surfaces.
The offers appear in numerous
crowded heads grouped into COM
pact, fa-toppel clusters that may
be to 8 inches across. The indi-
vidual heads are about 1-3 inch
across with the outer bracts short
and pearly white. The pistils oc-
cur in tubular flowers and the
stamens in narrow flowers both of
which are usually to be found in
the same head. The flowers are
mature from July through Sep
tember but may appear to be virile
long after the regular Towering
period. The stems are substantial
and may hold the flowers erect on
into the winter or if picked and
put into vase they do not wilt
easily but continue to appear as
though they were fresh.
Pearly Everlasting has been
grown in gardens as an ornament
al and in this capacity provides an
attractive cover and requires little
attention. Furthermore it does
well on poor soil and may survive
where more exacting plants could
not. The plants are often found as
about the last survivors of some
garden that harks the site of an
abandoned house. Sometimes they
are found in cemeteries but more
commonly they grow in poor pas
ture lands that have not been dis
turbed for a long time.
This plant cannot Withstand cul-
tivation and so it is simple to con-
troll it in pastures that are part of
a managed cycle calling for culti-
vation at intervals. Popularity it
is sometimes considered as a cud-
weed but a number of plants bear
these names. Such plants may
form indigestible cuds in cattle
and may cause trouble sometimes.
Besides controlling the plant by
cultivation it has been suggested
that close cutting or spraying with
sodium chlorate gives effective
control.
While we do not find the plant
listed as edible or as poisonous we
do find that it has gained public
recognition probably as an orna-
mental and it has many common
names such as Moonshine, Silver
Button, Silver Leaf, Poverty Weed
and Cotton Weed.

 Volunteer firemen exerted their energy and the meager sup ply of water on saving the house and checking the spread of the grass fire, which extended over a 50-foot radius. Water sprayed on the roof and sides of the house was swiftly converted into a cloud of steam. The water pres sure was very low so the arrival of the U. S.

 The garage collapsed within Is minutes of the arrival of the Fire Department. Besides the loss of the building, fire losses were re- ported for Mrs. Adam Werner, who had an old tractor stored in the building; and for Lloyd King

WIND SWEPT FIRE
 DESTROYS GARAGE

A spark from a rubbish burner is presumed to have started the grass fire that swiftly enveloped in flames a garage on the prop erty of Mrs. A. J. Swanson, next to Ed Christensen's garage, about one o'clock Monday afternoon.
 The Swanson house is occupied by MT. and Mrs. Ray Nelson. Earlier in the day, Mrs. Nelson had burned rubbish in a contain CT placed about 25 feet away from either the house or the gar age. The fire appeared to be out when she went into the house to prepare lunch. Later she looked outside and saw the grass afire. Famed by a strong Knik wino the flames spread rapidly and ap- preached the wooden garage at the rear of the property.
 The garage was not yet afire when Mrs. Nelson put in the alarm, but the Fire Department was delayed a precious three or four minutes when the first truck wouldn't start. By the time the Fire Department arrived at the scene, angry flames and rolling
