JUNE 28, 1925 SCUTED V If TOUR ISTS TREATED WITH JILL FAIRNESS Propaganda Is .. W i t h o u t Foundation, Examination -Of Records Disclose Careless Motorists, Whether Tour ists of Residents Will Bo Fined, Chief of Police Declares In Tiew ol the propaganda that Is being spread regarding traffic regulations and the treatment of tourists by the Salem police. May or J. B. Giesy was Interviewed by a Statesman reporter and asked to make a statement, setting forth the actual facts as they have come to his personal knowledge. His statement follows:- ."There is no truth whatever In the report that tourists or other drivers of automobiles are being mistreated by our local officers or that the traffic laws" are being too stringently enforced. In dealing with the traveling public the Sa lem police department follows the same policy as has . been adopted by the state traffic department, and the excellent work of. the state men cannot be questioned. "We welcome, the tourists as well as our neighbors from the suriuunding communities but wo should not turn our streets over to the careless and reckless driv ers to permit them to maim or de stroy life at their will. The peo ple of our city are entitled to pro tection as is also the visitor who aims to keep within the law. "An innocent citizen run down and killed by an automobile - is quite as dead when the driver of the car is a tourist as he would be if the driver had been a local re sident. Our officers are not seek ing to hail people into court; theii purpose is to protect the life and limb of their fellow man and in this, they should have the hearty cooperation of all well-thinking, law abiding people. "In efficiency the Salem police iorce stands second to none. With Frank A. Minto . at th head as chief of police it is under splendid supervision. Mr. Minto, a man of good judgment, is given a free hand. The men on the force are all of his own selection. There Is not a single man on the force to day, nor has there been since Mr Minto became chief, who was ap pointed through my solicitation or were by my recommendation. The city council has also leen willing at all times to permit the chief to select his own men. Since he be came chief In January, 1924, he has relieved from duty several of ficers who failed to measure up to his standard and dl so without any interference from the council or mayor. The result is that the police department has rendered splendid service and perfect har mony prevails, a conltion greatly desired and of utm'ost importance to insure efficiency. "All officers . report la Chief Minto direct or through his night sergeant, George Edwards and re ceive their orders direct from the chief. This eliminates confusion and fricton always found -where there s divided authority. "As an example 'of the work be ing done by the" men on our po lice force, will briefly cite follow ing cases: "A . few weeks ago a stranger drove into the city at night, his car bearing a Washington .license plate. Instead of continuing along the streets designated as the Pa cific highway he circled through outA)f-the-way side streets. His maneuvers attracted the attention of a local traffic officer. The stranger was questioned asr-to his destination; also asked it he had a drivers license. He was unaMe to produce one, nor could he give satisfactory information that might have led to his identity. Re sult: automonn, thief appren hended and stolen car recovered by the police.

Mr. Tracy is a new man in the MacDonald organization but not a new man in the automo bile business. He has had over 10 years experience in the automobile selling' business and claims to have held the high sales record for last year. He is well known In Salem, having been with the F. W. Pettyjohn company for the past year and a half. JOISIIIPFM OF HUPPS LB E The Demand for the New Eight is Largely the Cause For Increase June shipment ' of Hupmobiles will surpass those of June 1924 by from 30 to 40 per cent, and will be larger even than those of June 1923, O. C. Hutchinson, gen eral sales manager of the Hupp Motor Car corporation, said yes terday. They will exceed those of May 1925 by at least 500 cars, he added. May shipments were 45 per cent higher than those for the same month last year. "Demand for the new Eight is having considerable to do with our enlarged business, Mr. Hutchinson pointed out. "Since the recent reduction of $180 in the price of each model its sales at retail have already reached ap proximately a 30 per cent higher rate than their previous record. We expect their sales to grow still more in the next several weeks. ! From June 1 to 10, eight cylin der shipments and orders for ship ment totaled more than 1200 cars. Creating another new record for all cars of the eight-In-line type, of which the Hupmobile 13 the lar gest seller." . ; Hupp continues to bo in an unusuaPy favorable position. It carried over into June more than $2,000,000 worth; of unfilled or ders, which were-coming in at the highest rate in has ever know at a corresponding time of year. Orders for more than $3,000,000 worth of cars were received during the first ten days of June.

The Eiker Automobile-company is located on the corner of laiberty and Ferry, not over one blocs: 'from the heart of the business district. v One of the features which Mr, Eiker has had installed just re cently is the new headlight testing station. This station is arranged for the convlnlence of the cus tmore. 1 Those wishing to have their lights tested can drive in one entrance head their lights into the tunnel have them tested, give tho wheel a turn and drive out the other entrance.

There are now tetfy schools In various parts of the "country, each in chare of two highly skilled instructors. It is axiomatic that there always is one right way and several wrong ways of doing any thing. The Chevrolet Instructor teach that right way. Their class es are small not more than six or eight men to permit of in dividual attention. Each week the ten schools return to the service organization between 60 and 80 graduate mechanics whose special ized knowledge of the car and its servicing equipment eliminates the element of chance and guesswork "Improper fitting of a minor part may cause expensive damage to any automobile,' declares C." B Baldwin, director of Chevrolet parts and service department. "But when a man leaves one of our schools he is a preciosion mechanic. He does not guess; he knows. He has knowledge of the Chevrolet mechanism unobtainable in any other way." The seven original service schools were established last sum mer at each of the Chevrolet as sembly plants in the United States located at the following cities: Flint, Mich., Tarrytown, N. Y., Buffalo, N. Y., Norwood, O., St. Louis, Mo., Jansville, Wise, and Oakland, Calif. The success of this group resulted recently In the establishment of the three additional schools at Dallas, Texas, Denver, Colo.,' and Portland, Ore., Tor "service "men"ln territory geo graphically remote from the as sembly plant schools. A chief instructor travels con stantly from one school to an other. In the schools are Chev rolet chassis, used motors, gears. axle and transmission assemblies upon which the students work with Chevrolet precision equip ment. Often a motor is intention ally disabled and then placed in perfect order. The students come from the service departments of the 3,400 direct dealers and the ' many as sociation dealers. The intensive course lasts one week. Shop fore men predominate but many sub ordinate mechanics also attend the schools. Only Chevrolet men are accepted as students.
