School Opening at
Myrtle Creek Set
MYRTLE CREEK It has been
definitely decided to open the
Myrtle Creek public schools Mon
day, Sept. 15, at 9 A.M.. it was
announced by Superintendent
Ivan C. Parker.
All but two teachers have been
hired. High school students will
register before school begins. The
freshmen will register Monday,
Sept. 8; sophomores on Tuesday,
Sept. 9; juniors on Wednesday,
Sept. 10, and seniors on Thursday,
Sept. 11. There will be no regis
trations Friday, Sept. 12, because
of teachers' meetings to be held
that day.
Grade school students will reg
ister with their teachers the first
day of school. Students should
know which school district they
are from and how far they live
from the school. This information
is especially important this year,
as the school district is reim
bursed by the state for transpor
tation on a mileage basis, Parker
said.
A postcard questionnaire is
being mailed to each box holder
from the Myrtle Creek post of
fice, and on it parents are asked
to indicate the number of chil
dren which they will have from
their family attending each grade.
' This information is "badly need
ed" to prepare for adequate trans
portation and scheduling of grade
school classes.

Hot weather means dust.
Dust means corrosion. Cor

one of the most damaging
enemies of your battery.
Normally-used batteries
should give you top per

years. But they seldom do
because they're not cared

Air-Cooled Cars
Roll Over Desert
By CURTIS P. DONNELL
AP Newsfeatures
PHOENIX, Ariz. Scientifical
ly built air-conditioned motor
caravans are rolling over the hot
sands of Arabia in search of oil.
They were constructed in the
plant of the Arizona Iron Works
where additional caravans are
now being made.
Each caravan consists of three
trailers built to specifications
drawn up by Bert Beverley, head
geologist of the Arabian-American
Oil Co., and designed by Alex
ander C. MacKenzle, designing
engineer for the Standard Oil Co.
of California.
The trailers are equipped with
synthetic rubber tires, four feet
high and 14 inches across. Nor
mal air pressure is 20 pounds, al
though the tires can be used with
as little as 10 pounds.
Each unit has sheet aluminum
sides and roofs. In the walls are
two inches of insulation and on
the roof, four inches to protect
those inside from the 130 degree
daytime temperatures.
In addition to the trailers, 81
passenger personnel carriers
not air conditioned have been
built to take native laborers into
the oil fields. Thirty-two of these
carriers have been constructed In
the past year. '
Training Class Planned for
'Gray Ladies,' Organizafion
Aiding Hospitalized Veterans
A training class for hospital and recreation workers "The Gray
Ladles" under auspices of the Douglas County Chapter of the
American Red Cross is scheduled to start Sept. 16, it was announced
by Mrs. Edward Titcomb, chairman of the local Hospital and
Recreation Corps.
Volunteers for the class will at
tend a 10-hour lecture course.
Following a 20-hour probationary
period of service under the direc
tion of the Senior Gray Ladies,
they must promise to serve a
minimum of 50 hours a year in
the Roseburg Veterans Hospital..
The present group of Gray
Ladies has given an average of
13 hours a month each to hospital
service or 156 hours a year, Mrs.
Titcomb said.
Applications for the class will
be received, starting Sept. 1, at
the chapter offices in the Rose
burg Armory.
The Gray Ladles get their name
from the official uniform, which
consists of a gray cotton dress,
low-heeled white shoes, and white
or neutral stockings. In addition
to the uniform, the Gray Ladies
wear a white coronet with a short
gray veil, or a white cap.
The scope of the activities of
the corps is wide and therefore
cannot be completely defined. The
Gray Ladies act as hostesses in
recreation rooms, greet visitors,
and create a friendly atmosphere
and perform errands for the
patients.
They also serve in the library,
play games with individuals or
groups, serve as translators and
interpreters, instruct classes in
music appreciation, and teach

So many things in its favor!
Ask a Pontiac owner why he recommends a Poniiac
and he will likely tell you there are so many
things in its favor that he finds it is difficult to
enumerate them all.
He likes its "Silver Streak" styling so distinctive
that you can recognize a Pontiac as far as you can see
it. He likes its eager, smooth, quiet performance. He
likes its comfort and handling ease. He likes the
many fine-car features which make it such a pride to
own and such a pleasure to drive. He likes its faith
