In nontechnical terms this means the
engine doesn't have to work so hard to push
the car through the air. If you drive at
speeds of from 20 to 60 miles an hour, the
savings on gasoline are equal to price cut
of penny gallon.
The car surrounds you with silence. You
travel so quietly that, until you get used to
it, you think you're going 10 miles per hour
slower than you actually are.
One of the big reasons for this is Unibody
CONSTRUCTIONS new concept in car building.
UNIBODY CONSTITUTIONAL ew way

Unibody Construction finally delivers what
earlier untitled" body construction never
quite could. By designing body and frame
as one unit, surprising number of squeaks
and rattles have gone with the nuts and bolts.
Elechonic engineering, the same engineer
ing that enabled Chrysler Corporation to
make Americas most successful missiles,

production once needed to work the bugs

line is as excellent as the ones which roll off
five months later.

So far, we have only touched on what makes
"The Quick, the Strong, and the Quiet'' the
most completely new cars in the things that
count, to be offered by any automobile
maker. this year. Here are more of the fea-
lures offered by Chrysler Corporationin 1860.
When the engine starts, all doors lock.
Driver controlled door locks are available on
most 1860 Chrysler Corporation cars.

Unibody Construction: frcme fows into the
body, makes it tuice as strong tUice as quiet
surrounds you with silent strength.
But Unibody Construction does more than
surround you with silence. It permits more
room inside without raising the roof or
stretching the car.
Framed like bridge trusses, the new bodies
give you twice the torsional strength of
previous models, along with 40% greater
beam strength. The result is a solid feel
without noise or shock. You feel more secure
than you've ever felt in car before.
Nearly a million miles of road tests indi-
cate that any model could have a life
expectancy almost twice that of any car
built in America in the past decade. Think

The whOle body is treated to preUent rust
One of the big reasons for the marked in
crease in the life expectancy of these cars
comes from the extraordinary precautions
that Chrysler Corporation engineers take to
prevent rust.

Much Of the new quiet comes from the
way the engine is mounted. A rubber shelf
soaks up high-frequency noises. A specially
mounted heavy-duty spring reduces noise in
the low-frequency range. This engine mount
ing is unique in car building.
Insulation mufies any little noises left over.

North Pacific
 Fisheries Groun Meeting Monday

Sen. Al Owen left this week for Seattle, where he will attend the forthcoming annual meeting of the International North Pacific Fish cries Committee opening there Oc- tober 19.
 "The State of Alaska has an i'm portan. economic stake in this meeting" Sen. Owen stated before he left. Tt is the purpose of the Commission to bring about sound conservation measures on the high seas, based on continuing biologi- cal studies" The studies are con duo.ed by all three countries and an effort to reconcile any differ ences in the scientific findings. will be made during the forthc0m- ing meeting.
 ''The importance of the meeting to Alaska is evidenced by the fact that Gov. Egan IS scheduled to ad dress the plenary session." Owen stated.
 The COmmSSlon was established by treaty, between Canada, Japan. and the United States, for prOtec- ton of the high seas fisheries of the North Pacific Ocean. The North Pacific, and the Bering Sea in particular, is the area in which. the Bristol Bay salmon runs feed and grow to maturity before re- turning to the Alaska Bristol Bay fishery.
 ''1fe treaty imposes certain re- strictions on Japanese fishing in the area" Owen stated, but even with restrictions, Japanese fish ing has threatened the very exist ence of the Bristol Bay runs, and the livelihood of many fishermen. including the ShoreSide workers" "
 Sen. Owen is an advisor to the Commission and will be in attend ance during the three weeks 0f the session.

 The next meeting will be called prior to March 31, 1960, according to Wilson, at which time managers for the six teams of the League will be selected for the 1860 playing season. The date and place of this meeting will be published later.

 The deceased had for many years conceived the idea of supermar- ct tor Kodiak, feeling the popu- lation was sufficient for this mod ern way of merchandising food g.Ulls. In 1852, he opened it's doors.
