Ford Ventilation
Center Of Interest
"The handle they love to touch,’
is the way Mr. J. H. Wood, Mana
ger of the Norfolk branch of th<
Ford Motor company, describes th<
handle which controls the dear
vision ventilation system of the
Ford' V-8 for 1934.
' "Dealers everywhere,” he said,
“are reporting that the simple op
eration of this ventilation system
is so intriguing to persons viewing
the new cars that they almost in
variably raise the window glass in
order to give the handle the extra
half-turn that slides the glass away
from the frame, forming a narrow
opening that provides draftless ven
tilation.
"Each window has a single piece
of glass—not two sections. That’s
why the ventilation system is call
ed 'Clear vision.’
"Another feature of the cars that
is attracting wide atention,” Mr.
Wood continued, "is something
which on the Ford is not really new'.
That is, the independent action of
all four wheels made possible by the
transverse springs. The free action
of the wheels of the Ford V-8 for
1934 has been increased by newly
designed spring leaves, providing
improved flexibility and quieter ac
tion.”
More than two million vistors at
the recent Ford Exposition of
Progress in New York City saw
this feature dramatically demon
strated as diagonal wheels were al
ternately pushed upward! yet the
Ford body kept steady and level.
Interest in Ford V-8 power and
economy is keener than ever, ac
cording to Mr. Wood. "This is
probably due to announcement that
the power has been stepped up by
12 % at the same time that more
miles per gallon are attainable.
"Usually more power means
fuel consumption, but the Ford V-8
for 1934 actually gives approxi
mately 2/2 more miles per gallon.
This is largely brought about by a
new dual downdraft carburetor and
new dual intake manifold.
"Only by driving the Ford V-8
for 1934 can one really appreciate
the improvements that have been
iyvjHa in it* M Mr. WnnH ttPnr
instance, take the matter of roomi
ness—many a Ford sale was made
last year the minute the prospective
buyer sat at the wheel, all because
the Ford V-8 did its own demon
strating. A car of its low price
range offering more head room and
more leg room than in seventeen
Other American built cars, couldn’t
fielp but stand out.
"And that’s the new Ford V-8
for 1934! Plus easier steering due
to a 15 to 1 steering ratio. Plus
new beautiful interiors with coved
ceilings, individual arm rests for all
passengers deeper and more com
fortable seats of tufted upholstery.
Plus body designs of stylish line
and rare grace.”
Retail deliveries all over the
country are running well ahead of
those of a year ago. With Ford V
1 sales in the local territory surpass
ing the general trend, Mr. wood
predicts a large increase' in Ford
business during the new year.
Dealers are unusually optimistic.
A famous scientist tells us to
iceep our brains open, and anyway
plenty of people keep their mouths
that way.
The nation is said to be stagger^
ing under its debt burden, but as is
the Case with’ many of the sports,
its staggering is not probably due
so much to the money it owes, as
to the excess of high jinks and
sporting life it has had.
Another way to make the pro
posed J 3-month calendar popular,
would be not to charge any rent
for the 13 th month, but have our
pay go right on

LITTLE AMERICA, ANTARC
TICA, January 18 (via Mackaj
Radio):—Here we are, home at
last. And what a home! Ice 200 feet
high. Mountains of snow. Crevasses
60 feet deep. Huge icebergs and
mile-wide plates of ice 15 feet thick
floating on the Bay of Whales.
I am too excited and too busy to
give any coherent account of what
we are passing through. I feel J am

for the long Antarctic winter.
And Little America! What a
thrill to see it after hearing about
it and dreaming about it for so
long! And what a sight! Three tall
radio masts, one of them leaning a
bit, spotted by our cook, Hump
Creagh, from the top of the fore
mast as Commodore Gjertsen push
ed the Ruppert In through the nar
row openings In the wilderness of
ice at the entrance of the Bay of
Whales up to the Ross barrier. A
chimney and three ventilators stick
ing up through the snow. Humps in
the snow round about. That’s our fu
ture homii! Little America! ~ We
shall have to dig it out.

water and Admiral Byrd and seven
others scrambled onto her together
with one team of nine dogs and a
sledge. She was quickly loaded with
supplies, carefully selected by our
supply officer, Victor Czegka, and
with Edgar Cox, who takes care of
our Gemsey cows, at the wheel and
Fred Dustin handling the engine,
the crowd reached shore and made
a dash for Little America. Never In
my life did I want to do anything
as much as go on that first trip.
But there was almost a tragedy.
Ralph Buckley, who was a great
oarsman at my college, Harvard,
was driving the dog team and fell
into a snow covered crevasse. It
was 60 feet deep, with water at the
bottom. He was tied to the other
man nnri lnrkllv fell on an ice ledge
and was hauled out. He was laugh
ing but it was a very narrow es
cape.
And that Ross ice barrier! The
most amazing sight that eyes can
rest on. Miles and miles and miles
of cliffs, like the Palisades but
white and green and shiny. I’ll tell
you more about this astonishing
formation when I get time.
Admiral Byrd did not take that
dangerous flight I mentioned last
week. There was no need of it. 1
am glad. Tomorrow probably, when
we find a suitable spot we shall put
all of our four planes overboard on
the ice and they will be flown two
miles to Little America. Two miles?
Yes, Little America Is four miles
nearer the Bay than it was two
weeks ago because many square
miles of ice have broken off of this
cap and are floating out to Lord
knows where. Isn’t that an amazing
thing? Hope Little America doesn’t
float out while we are here! So
long. More next week.

"How did you come to lose your
job?” asked a friend of the yoijflldg
man who had just been dismissed
at a moment’s notice from a big
store.
"Simply by misplacing a label”
was the reply.
"What do you mean by that?”
"Well, I saw it on the floor,
where it had fallen from a pile of
ladies’ blouses, and, without look
ing at it, I put it back on a bath
tub.”
"That doesn’t seem to be a very
big mistake. What was the label?”
"How would you like to see your
best girl in this for two dollars and
fifty cents?’ ” said the young man
sadly.
