on s9 5 of this Ppt
that twisters might strike the
section, least of all expected an
earthquake.
It was the first earthquake
in the history of Kansas. And
it wasn't even recorded, because
the seismograph at the Univer
sity of Kansas was out of paper.
The explanation for the earth
quake was that the vast under
ground Nemha mountain range,
extending from Nebraska to
Oklahoma, shifted itself four
inches from one end to the oth
er, generating the earth tremors.
Area Got Off Easy
Actually the Midwest and
Southwest got off easy as a re
sult, said the Rev. Joseph Dow
ney, seismologist at Regis col
lege at Denver, Colo.
He estimated that the epicen
ter of the quake probably was
north of Oklahoma City. It was
a "seven intensity" earthquake,
Downey said, violent enough to
have done serious damage if its
epicenter had been in a city.
The only casualty reported
was a Tulsa, Okla., woman who
was hurt when plaster fell on
her head as the shocks cor
menced with a "rumble like
thunder."

predicted Thursday.
Based on a survey of
cross-section' of American con

foresee no break in the public's
year-old non-buying tendency.
Consumers do not want as
many cars, refrigerators, radios
or washing machines as they
did at this time last year, the
FRB said. In fact, they dont
want as many of these items as
manufacturers can produce, even
with present metal shortages.

This id Is addressed to husbands
husbands who've yearned for the
thrill of sitting behind a broad hood
packed with horsepower and the pride
of rolling down the street in a car that
tells the world, "Here's a man, who
knows the finest tiling on wheels."
But husbands have wives. And wives
have been known to say, "No big cars
for me. They're too hard to handle."
Well, we have an answer for that one.
It's a RoADMASTEft with Buick's new
Power Stecring.f And Power Steering
takes over any time the steering gets
tough works like a helping hand
reduces the effort of turning the wheel
of a car at a standstill to about the same
effort it takes to pick up a mink coat
But out on the open highway with a
1 clear straight stretch before you
your hands still have command of the
wheel you can feel that sure, firm, easy
and eager responsiveness that's a part
of the fun of driving.
The rest of the fun is in something else
that's new this year the highest horse
power that a Buick Fireball Engine has
ever delivered and an Airpower
carburetor that lets loose an extra
reserve of power when needed, and still
adds extra miles to your cruising range
on each tankful of gas. .
So we suggest a family demonstration.
YouTl both like the hushed and restful
silence of this superbly able traveler.
bu11 like the harmonious beauty of its
interior, and the deep and luxurious
softness of its seats.
Youll like the velvet-gloved grip of its
Wide-Band brakes, and the most capa
cious trunk in Buick history.
"ioull like the smooth surge of Dynaflow
Drive, and you'll like-but why waste
time talking, when you could be finding
out more than we can ever tell you?
How about making a date to do that
right now?
