DON'T HIDE
BEHIND A MASK
In Celebrating Halloween
Don't Hide Traffic Safety
Behind a Mask
COSTUMES AND MASKS

Don't hide traffic safety behind
a mask on Hallowe'en"
DIR. George r. Miller, Jr., super
intendent of the State Depart
ment of Public Instruction gave
this warning to Delaware citizens
who are preparing to observe the
special night with traditional cele-
brations.
Il mean this advice both liter
ally and figuratively," he said.
"Of course safety always should
be of primary concern to both
motorists and pedestrians, and
never should be out of view."
But Halloween brings an even
more immediate, practical appli-
cation to his advice, DIR. Miller
pointed out, because at this time
SO many people, especially chill
dren, will be wearing fancy dress
costumes and masks.
These masks can cause a lot
of trouble if they cut down the
wearer's vision" the superintend-
ent said. ''The masks usually are
worn after dark, which is the
most dangerous time of day, traf-
fic-wise, when both drivers and
walkers sometimes have trouble
trying to see adequately and keep
safe. Masks can make the situa-
tion even more dangerous"
Also, he said, costumes worn by
pedestrian Hallowe'eners some
times are dark in color and diff
cult for motorists to see.
Parents should see to it that
their children wear white or light
colored costumes, or that some
refiectorized material is used at
least for the trimmings" he said.
This precaution, in addition to
making sure that masks fit prop
erly and allow normal vision, will
do a lot to keep children safe in
traffic on Halloween"
The same safeguards should be
observed by adults, too, of course,
the superintendent added.
"And everyone should be made
aware of the extra caution requir-

ing Friday at Johns Buick, Kalis-
pell, the Flathead's Buick dealer
will be 1855 models. The Johns
Buick showroom will be open Fri
day and Saturday evenings as vel
as all day.
The new Buick features a new
front end with new Wide-screer
grille, new rear tenders that give
the trunk compartment a longer
lower silhouette, new tail lights
patterned after those on the ex-
perimental Wildcat II, and new
interiors in many color combina-
tions of nylon, leather and cor

The 1855 models will have more
colorful exteriors with two and
three-ton combinations offered.
Horsepower has been increased
to 236 in the Roadmaster, Super
and Century series and to 1873 in
the Special.
Ivan L. White, general manager
of Buick and General Motors vice
president, commented: eve have
made nearly as many engineering
and design changes this year as we
did last. Yet we have retained the
outstanding styling features that
made Buick the third best seller
car in the nation. Our new styling,
plus the spectacular increase in
performance resulting from higher
compression engines and our new
variable pitch Dynaflow, makes
the 1855 Buick the greatest value
we have ever offered the car
buying public
The panoramic windshield, pio-
neered by Buick last year, has
been retained for 1855 models
along with the sloping doorbelt
line and full rear wheel cutout on
all two-door models.
Tubeless tires are standard ex-
cept for models with wire wheels.
Compression ratio of the engine
in the Roadmaster, Super and Cen
tury series has been increased from
8.5 to l to g. to l, among the high
est in the industry. In the Special
series, compression has been boost
ed from 81 to 84 to l.
The greatest horsepower in
crease is in the Super Series which
has been stepped up from 1872 to-
236, a difference of 54 horsepower.
The Super engine utilizes the four
barrel carburetor for the first time
in 1855.
Horsepower of the Roadmaster
and Century was boosted from 200
to 236 and the Special from $50
to 1873.
Gasoline economy in all series
has been improved by an average
of 1.6 miles per gallon at steady
80 miles an hour.
Bucks 1855 line comes in Is
six-passenger models, mounted on
two wheelbases, 122 inches for the
Special and Century, and 127 in
ches for the Super and Roadmast-
er, the same as last year.
Buick has built more than g.
100000 cars since World War II.
The 1855 line in its Is models of
fers more than 200 interior trim
combinations.
Nine out of every 10 cars Buick
built in 1854 were equipped with
DynafloW drive.
The three-color paint combina-
tions are optional on Buick sedans
for the first time in 1855.
Bucks new power brakes are
designed to provide adequate
braking regardless of whether the
engine is running or not.

Bucks are available at Johns
