PHOTOGRAPHER BYRD IP Joseph T. Rucker, staff camera man in San Francisco for Para mount News, has been selected by Commander Byrd to accompany him on his South Pole expedition. Rucker has had 14 years of ex perience in photographing world events and will take 150,000 feet of unexposed film on the Antarc tic flight. He is so far the only Pacific coast member of the party. Rucker. his special camera and his Cadillac are inseparable com panions. The camera is an 'inter esting and intricate mechanism. It will follow a moving object au tomatically after the fashion of the giant telescopes which follow the course of heavenly bodies, the movement of the camera being controlled by a fine escapement movement such as is used in high grade chronometers. The photograph was taken in San Francisco. The background is the front of the Don Lee build ing, generally considered architec turally one of the most beautiful Cadillac-LaSalle sales and service buildings In the world.

F Shortly before the "City of New York" sailed from New York harbor a few days ago, headed for the Antarctic regions as advance supply ship for Commander Byrd's South Pole expedition, a Frank lin air-cooled engine was swung aboard for use on the polar ice cap. .The, estriae whichi becomes a part of the Byrd expedition is the same type as tnat now employ ed in the Franklin Airman Limit ed line of motor cars built by the Syracuse manufacturer. With the Byrd South Pole ex- peditiyi drawing upon ths very latest scientific data and engin eering knowledge to guarantee success of the venture, the selec tion of a Franklin air-cooled en gine is regarded in all quarters of the automotive field as a dis- "net tribute to me outstanding efficiency and reliability of the Franklin air-cooled power plant. and it is expected that this en gine will contribute material aid to the expedition. The Franklin engine will be used in the polar regions for hoisting, for portable power in stallations and various utility purposes where power Rlants of another type would fall to func tion under severe conditions of the, Antarctic. The use of a Franklin engine, in conjunction with Jtbe air-cooled motors employed in the airplanes to carry the explorers over the last few hundred miles of icy stretches, gives the final stamp of approval on the eflfciency of the air-cooled type of power plant.

National headquarters here to day to the effect that a Canadian representative had been appointed to the board of the directors of the American Automobile asso ciation, is interpreted as a forecast of closer relations of organized mbtordom in the two countries. Pursuant to tht fiction of the rts eedf convention ddthe A. A. A. in Cincinnati authorizing the appoint ment of a Canadian director, Riley Hern, president of the Montreal Motorists' League and a leading figure in Canadian sport circles, has been nominated to the post. Mr. Hern, it was stated, as the representative of 17 A. A. A. mo tor clubs in the Dominion, will speak for Canada on matters of joint concern to the car owners of the two countries. The purpose of the national motoring body in inviting Canada to active participation in its coun sels was outlined in a letter ad dressed to all A. A. A. clubs in Canada, which said in part: "It is with the utmost pleasure that the American Automobile as sociation has noted the Increasing close contacts that have been de veloped between our Canadian clubs and our American clubs, and the growth of the Canadian clubs' membership in the Amer ican Automobile Association has been a source of gratification to us all. ''With no desire whatsoever to interfere with or to influence the acts and policies of the Canadian clubs as they might refer purely to Canadian matters, our directors have long recognised that there are many matters ot interest to clubs on both sides of the border in service to members and in the internal management of motor clubs. "The number of Canadian mo tor clubs at present affiliated with the American Automobile Associa tion, and the growth In member ship of the clubs, has made our offices feel that our Canadian clubs should be represented upon our governing boards In a more intimate way. Accordingly at our; last annual meeting the nominat ing committee recommended that one of our directorships be allotted to Canada. "It Is with particular delight that we acquaint you with this new policy of the American Auto mobile Association, and we hope this step will lead to even closer contacts than have marked oar past pleasant relations."

Salem, I CHURCHES CURB I New Chrysler Radiator , ROAD ACCIDENTS mm- '-mn Road Builders Association Appeals To Religious - Organizations WASHINGTON. D. C. Sept. 8. The American Road Builders' Association today appealed to au churches, Sunday schools and re ligious organizations of the Unit ed States to join in a national movement to combat highway ac cidents. Religious societies were asked to emphasise the need for courtesy and caution among mo torists and pedestrians of the country. Last fall the association in co operation with the Federal Coun cil of Churches of Christ in Amer ica appealed directly to 25,000 ministers to assist in the highway safety movement. .Thousands of the ministers responded either by preaching sermons from the pulpit or by broaching the highway safe ty problem in Sunday schools or allied religious meetings. "Ministers and . Sunday school officials are not asked to replace religious programs with highway 3afety programs," the American uoaa Jtfimaers Association ex plained. "The problem of high way safety Is In a large measure a moral problem, however, since the elimination of the character istics of discourtesy and selfish ness on the part of motorists and redestrians is of great importance, such problems may be indirectly introduced into the church. "The study of highway safety in Sunday schools is particularly appropriate since . approximately 7.400 children of nchnnl er were lfllle last year In highway aifci- urents. These accidents mav i be greatly reduced by urging the practice of the simple principles oi courtesy and caution 'among the children who attend Sunday school. Resolution Adopted The Federal Council of Church es of Christ in America recently adopted a resolution condemning the loss of life in highway acci dents and urging appropriate di visions of the church to take ac tion which might tend to reduce the number of these accidents. A copy of this resolution was 'fur nished the American Road Build ers' Association for distribution among the churches and religious organizations. Better Late Than Never HOUSTON, Tex.

DOCTOR EXEMPT FROM SPEED LI Eight states now exempt physi cians from compliance with speed laws, while answering emergency calls according to the American Automobile Association. The A. A. A. says that Arizona, Arkansas, California, Minnesota. Nebraska, Now Jersey, New Mexi co, and Texas are the states that have so far made provisions- for exempting physicians. Six of these provide that the speed law shall not apply when emergency calls are being answered, while New Jersey and Minnesota have prac tical the same regulation, as fol lows: If a physician shall . have his motor vericle stopped for ex ceeding the speed limit while he is in the act of responding to an eiaetgsacy I call, i the redistsation. nnAibefrhoP fthel hidhicle aid I the UdJit driver's license number may be in spected and noted, and the physi cian shall, then be allowed to pro ceed In the vehicle to his destina tion and subsequently such pro ceedings may be taken as would have been proper had he not been a physician or ambulance driver." The national motoring body points out that there is a tendency throughout the country to place physicians answering emergency calls in the same class as police automobiles and fire trucks. At the same time the A. A. A. called upon motorists throughout the country t ocooperate with au thorities by giving the right-of- way to all cars answering emer gency calls. The statement contin ues: "There are times when a few seconds may mean life or death, and it is therefore of utmost im portance that car owners cooper ate with those responding to an emergency call. "Upon the approach of an am bulance or a car that Is being giv en the right-of-way, motorists should pull aside to the curb as they are required to do when fire trucks are responding to a call."
