QUARLES
What is the extent of your
belief in character analysis by
handwriting? Some business or
ganizations appear to have faith
in it. They employ handwriting
experts to examine the letters
of applicants for executive posi
tions. Does your signature slope
upwards or downwards? It is
claimed when a signature that
originally sloped upwards be
gins to slope down it indicates
the writer is losing his grip
and is on the downgrade inso
far as efficiency and success
is concerned. A signature that
continues to slope upward is said
to reveal the writer is still men
tally and physically in the pink
and is on the upgrade. Call this
to the attention of your bachelor-
ette daughter. Have her check
on the signature of the man
she is thinking of marrying.

Get It Right
What was the longest bar in
the history of the United States?
The arguments as to this are
endless. Get it right! The long
est in this country was that of
Erickson's Saloon in Portland,
Ore. That bar was 684 feet in
length! It- is not ancient history
either. Many living men have
memories of Erickson's. The
price of a schooner of beer there
was 5 cents. Each schooner had
a capacity of 16 ounces. The
price of hard liquor-served in
old fashioned whisky glasses
was two drinks for a quarter.
Erickson's also served what
many claim was the country's
most elaborate free lunch. The
purchase of one drink made the
buyer eligible to partake of this
generous meal.

too much baby talk to their in

English ,to an infant the child

In Your Dreams
Dreams are the fulfillment
of wishes. In your dreams you
j often get what you have hoped
tor but do not possess in your
waking hours. On this, all ex
perts on the subject are agreed.
So, lady, if you dream you are
holding hands with Gregory
Peck, or that you are married
to a man other than your cur
rent spouse, or that you are
single, again, don't tell your hus
band about it. If he is a student
of dream interpretation he will
know that what you have dream
ed is something you wish were
true.

Next Year May Turn Out To Be Pivotal
One in History of American Television
Jew York oi.kj Next year
may well turn out to be the
pivotal one in the history of
American television.
: The stake: Whether the indus
try continues to take an occa
sional bold flier into offbeat pro
graming or whether it settles
down into a comfortable com
mercial rut as, for the most
part, radio did.
Or to put it more particularly:
Whether we will continue to see
things like "Wide Wide World,"
"Assignment: India," the Sad
ler's Wells Ballet and dramas
such as "The Skin of Our Teeth"
. . . or whether viewers will be
fed an increasing drama of sure
fire quiz games, variety shows,
dramas and situation comedies.
And according to the talk
heard everywhere along ' TV
row, the key network in this
crisis period will be NBC.
Executive Shakeup
It was only a few weeks ago
that NBC announced a shakeup
along its top level. The change
boosted Sylvester "Pat" Weaver
from president to chairman of
the board. And it upped Robert
Sarnoff into Weaver's old spot
the key post in the organization.
Young Sarnoff Is the son of Brig.
Gen. David Sarnoff, chairman of
the board of RCA, whicli is the
parent company of NBC.
What this new alignment will
mean has touched off speculation
down the line within the industry-Weaver,
a dynamic, creative
personality, has come to be as
sociated with the, imaginative
approach.
It was Weaver who shattered
rigid time lines by coming up
tacular." . It was Weaver who
shattered space lines with "Wide
Wide World." It was during
Weaver's term as president that
Monitor was launched an at
tempt to carry out flexible time
and content paths for radio.
But in all this creative oint
ment there was one small finan
cial fly. Despite the critical suc
cess accorded Weaver's experi
ments, CBS continued to turn
out the programs that attracted
the biggest audiences.
CBS Leads Survey
In a Trendex survey charting
the top 10 programs for the en
tire month of November. CBS
grabbed nine of the spots. ABC
TV's "Disneyland" held the lone
non-CBS spot. The CBS network
did it with programs like '"The
S64.000 Question," "I Love
Lucy" and the Ed Sullivan
show.
And in the latest. - Trendex
survey for the first week of De
cember, CBS showed eight of the
top 11 shows. George Gobel,
Perry . Como and' the "Hit Pa
rade" were the only NBC front
runners. .
There is . another , significant
f a c t o r, too. Although NBC's
share of network billings has
jumped over the past years, NBC
still is running about 6 per cent
behind CBS in dollar billings.
Weaver, as chairman of the
board, is no longer in the direct
operator's seat at NBC. What
this means, say many observers,
is that NBC may begin to soft
pedal the offbeat approach for
which it became famous during
the Weaver regime.
Or, as one observer recently
money now,' not headlines."
Next year may well tell
story.

Ariel at oixty jyart throttle with
Guide's jtxgw Variable Pitch. Dynaflow
Of coxjkse, you don't get wings with
this sleek and stunning new '56
Buick but you can get the nearest thing
to them.
It goes under the name of Variable Pitch
Dynaflow, because it uses the principle,
of the modern plane's propeller.
But the 1956 version of this great trans
mission goes airplanes one better now
It's all as simple as it's thrilling.
At take-off, a pilot sets the pitch of his
propellers for all-out acceleration. Aloft,.
he switches to cruising pitch for top
mileage.
You can do that, too, in a '56 Buick. Just
floor the pedal and you switch the
Dynaflow blades to high-performance
angle. That gets you going instantly at
full-power sweep. Then, just ease up on
the pedal, and you switch to cruising
pitch and a lot better gas mileage.
But now you get something a pilot
doesn't get a new quick getaway
response even without switching the
pitch. A sizzling new take-off at only
part throttle. A wonderfully solid new
take-hold that you use in all your normal
driving situations. And you get it with
Dynaflow smoothness plus another
boost in gas mileage.
Itis the SGBxzick.-
Why not come try it?
Why not get the feel of it by taking the
wheel? And there's no better place than
right there to learn about the great new
record-high horsepowers, the sweet new
ride, the superb; new handling, and the
long list of safety features that make this,
literally, the best Buick yet
Drop in on us soon this week would
be fine and let this sweep-styled new
beauty show you what pure automobile
can do.
Kew Advanced Variable Pitch Dynaflow is the
only Dynaflow Buick builds today. It is standard
' on Roadmaster, Super and Century optional at
modest extra cost on the Special.
