parts of Africa .south of the tqua

of eastern Africa The Forest, or
West Negroes, often referred to as
' the "true' Negroes, are found
' along the Guinea coast of Africa.
NegroiJ peoples of the Pacific
Islands include the Melaneslans
and the Papuans. The Pygmold* are
, found in Africa and Malaysia, they
are also found in Sumatra, Dutch
Guinea and the Ptullpplnc Islands
The Bushmen and Hottentots are
also of Pygmoid stock and are,
found in the Kalahari Desert of
South Africa There is some evi
dence that they are Mongoloid 10;
j well as Negroid.
The Mongoloid race (which is
commonly called the "yeliow" race,
includes the Lgro-Flnns, the Sini
Ucs (Chinesei, the Mongols, the
American Indians, and the Eskimo
The Ugro-Finns are widely scatter
ed along the northern parts of F.ur
ope and Asia, from Siberia to the
Scandinavian Peninsula. The Chi
nese are almost exclusively Sinltic
in origin The Japanese are mixed
Sinltic and Ainu The Siniuc have
also mixed Into the races found in
northern India; Nepal. Tibet and
Burma The Malaysians are basic
ally Mongoloid., hut in many ot the
' smaller islands In the area, they
i have a strong admixture of Cau
casian stock
The earth's population is ap
proximately 43(T Mongoloid. 33T
Caucasoid and 3-tri Negroid. But
! since practically none of those race
classifications are "pure" in origin,
these figures are certainly open to
question.
In skin coloring, which is the
i most common and arbitrary man
ner pf distinguishing persons of
various racial backgrounds, It is
interesting to note the great vari
ance in coloring within these basic
groups. The skin-coloring of the
Caucasoid or "white" race varies
from pinkish-white and olive to
dark brown Negroes range from
light brown to dark brown and
b,a< k. Tpc Mongoloids range from
saffron-yellow to light shades of
brown and reddish brown.
Other physical characteristics
that scientists take into considera
1 tiqn in determining racial origin
are shape of the skull, shape of
the nose, -hape of the 11PS and
shape of tlie eye-lids. However the
1 variations of these characteristics
art' so grOat with in each racial
group that they certainly cat not be
' called definitive. For example,
, thick Lips are generally considered
! to be a definite Negroid feature,
i but there are many Negroes with
thin lips, and many Caucasoids and
1 Mongoloids with thick lips Nose
shaps probably vary more within
any racial stock than do any other
feature, you can probably see
every shape of nose known to man
kihd right on Main Street In
VVi, nesvillc. There are many per
sons whose Caucasoid race history
is as ' pure" as can be found any
where on earth . whose eyelids
Would definitely be classified as
Mongoloid.
Hair characteristics are also coo- j
fusing Mongoloids have predom
inantly coarse. dark straight hair,
but so have many Caucasoids and
Negroids.
Science has long exploded the
claims that some races are biologic
ally suoerlor or inferior to other
races Civilizations of any race may
be advanced or retarded, and the
people within them may have
greater or lesser opportunities to
develop their own personal abil
ities. People who live in advanced
civilizations, regardless of racial
oriein develop much more rapid
ly than do oconle who live in re
tarded civilizations There is no
evidence that any single race, and
single peonlc. or any single nation
has a special ccnlus for creating
or developing civilization.
Race is also often confused with
nationality. We hear people speak
of the "German" race or the "Ital
ian" race or the "F.nelish" rare. In
doing so people confuse languages
ar.d national political boundaries
With race. This is esnecially true,
of Furooean nationalities, which
are the in'ormineline of nrnctieal- I

A SWITCH Of= THE PITCH
-AND AWAY YOU GO/
The biggest sensation in years is what
_ "variable pitch propellers" have done for Dvnaflow Drhta* .
IT happens like this. \uu need pickup
?and pronto. So you get it. Sou get
it by pushing the accelerator pedal
of a 1955 Buick all the way to the
floor board.
Then? without jerk or lag or.lurch
or pause ? you get action! You get
action whether you're just starting otT
-or asking for a safety-surge of po\% er
out on the highway.
there's nothing like it in past expe
rience? because there has never been
anything like it in an automobile
before.
This is action that comes from the
principle of variable pitch propellers
used on modern planes. Their propel
ler blades change "pitch" for take-off
-and cut hundreds of feet off the time
required to lift a plane from a rumvax.
And the amazing fact is ? in a 1955
liuiek Dynaflow Drive there are 20
little propeller-like blades that also
change their pitch, just like the pro
peller blades of a plune.
I hi}> is a transmission engineer's
dream of heaven. A build-up of
momentum as smooth as flowing oil
and almost as quick as lightning ?

mileage in cruising
range. It's \\hat the
whole automobile
industry has been
shooting for ?and
iiuick has it.
So, that means
there's only one thing for you to do.
Try out a 1955 Buick, and soon.
1 ry it out for quick action, as we've
mentioned. Try it out for room and
comfort and ride. And by all means,
cast an admiring eye on its style ?
for it beats the high-fashion Buicks
which set the pattern in the success
lul year just ended.
We're waiting and
eager to hear from
you soon. So drop in
? or give us a call.
We promise you a
thrill that no other
