Engineer ing improvements of an import ant character haYO resulted in a lower, longer-appearing car with fleeter, racier lines, a superior ride, improved stability and. In genera, greater driver and pas senger comfort and convenience. The four models are respec tively the Series 40 Special, on 12t-iqch wheel base; Series 60 Century, with a wheel base of 126 inches; Series 80 Roadmaa- ter with 133-inch wheel base and Series 90 i Limited; with 140 inches. ' i . An innovation which contrib utes to the striking appearance of the cars and which also has important : engineering advan tages is the adoption of "cat .walk cooling" employed exten sively on European racing cars. With this construction the grilles are set low, in rakish contour, in cat-walk section between hood ana ienaer. Iiower 'Rear Achieved An entirely new frame design brings the Series 40 and 60 cars two inches' lower at tne rear while maintaining a flat floor without a . tunnel. This lowers the center of gravity of the car. .increasing stability, while at the same time contributing to the long, low lines. Another, new option of the four-door touring sedan on Se ries 40, is the Sunshine Turret Top. This is the first produc tion car in the country to be provided with the sunshine roof which has. been grpwing in popu larity in Europe. llandi-Mhift Feature The Handi-Shif t gear control for the 1939 Buick is an out standing new feature. The shift lever extends at a right angle from the steering column Just below the. steering wheel where it is easily reached by the right hand. To shift gears the move ment, which is effortless, is es sentially the same as with the conventional transmission so there is nothing new for the driver to learn.' In addition to the new control, the transmis sion on the Series 40 has been .entirely redesigned, making it more compact, rigid and effi cient. The valve-in-head straight engines have been improved in many details. On the Series 40, the motor is a 3 3-32 x 4 inch unit developing 107 horsepower at 3400 rpm. On Series 60, 80 and 90 the engine is 3 7-16 4 5-16 and develops 141 horse power at 3600 rpm. Improve ments in the motor include new fuel conditioner with new carburetor, choke, air cleaner and new manifold; new water- pump bearings sealed and lubri cated for life; new engine mountings and other detail I changes, giving as a total result a smoother, quieter enrine with Improved ', economy and longer life. of Packards The Packard Motor Car com- I pghy today Is introducing to the publii? all of its four "lines" of ; cars for 1939. Many improve- : ments which the company says j add comfort, driving ease, long- j er life, economy and beauty are 5 listed la descriptions of the new j Packards, handled in Salem by J State Motors, S2 5 Chemeketa. j As in the preceding models j there is the Six, the One Twenty, j or Eight as it is also, known, the j Supe? Eight and the Twelve. occupying price groups in this j same' order from the so-called medium low price class, as rep- j resetted by the Six, to the high priced classification in the in dustry, as represented by the Twelve, "flagship" of the Pack-. ard fleet. The Super Eight, while retain ing its, big 130 horsepower en gine' and luxurious refinements of its predecessor, is a complete ly new car with which Packard hopes to broaden its market in the fine car field though a con siderably lower pricing than that of the 1938 Super tight. Although still a big car of the oltra-luxurious type, the Super Eight, as compared with its pre decessor, is considerably lighter and of shorter wheel base Pack- j mi iter nhilifv an.1 Brilliant ' new Portable Remote Control Eliminates Ls f handling on the open V. . road or in traffic wiu be ouna Wired Connections; oell-rowered rarm Pictured above is one of the new "Precision" homer recelvers,of iered by Westlnghouse this year. : Automatic "volume control, -statlon electric motor tuning, high fidelity and other features are combined with beauty of cabinerting in the model pictured above.

Eliminate 'Drift' In Touch Tuning Padlock Protects Community Radio There are many villages in In dia which have only one radio provided by the government for the benefit of the natives. This Instrument is permanently tuned to one station w 1 1 h a clock-like device switching it on and off automatically at the daily listen ing period. The set is padlocked to prevent tampering by curious villagers; and is only opened once In every three weeks when a service expert comes around to change the bat tery and wind the time-clock. Keep Seat While CIi an sine Records In addition to providing an in expensive way for the beginning phonograph enthusiast to in- dulge his musical tastes, record playing attachments for radios have the further advantage of providing new convenience of operation. ' With one of these units placed on an end table alongside an armchair, the listener can change records or adjust volume, the while he remains comfortablv seated. Elimination of drift from touch tuning systems is " one of the major successes of the radio industry as exemplified by the Lines iwhich go on display in the radio' progress exposition start ing here tomorrow. Drift is the term that is applied to describe that fading of wanted stations once tuned in, that oc curred occasionally on the earlier push' button sets. The improved tuning devices are designed not only i to automatically shift the tuning to the desired station at the touch of a finger, but it Is designed to hold it there through out the period of reception, and to accomplish; that holding- of the station on the correct channel Ac curately. ; Solution of this problem which gavei some trouble when automa tic tuning was first introduced is universal throughout the new sets.; - .- ; Radio Cuts Year's Forest Fire Loss Part of the equipment of for est rangers and smoke chasers is a small radio outfit. Upon sighting smoke, one of these scouts immediately strings up an aerial and gets in touch : with headquarters. ' Reduction in the annual loss of forests is said to be due, in part; to the immediate transpor tation of firefighters and fire- fighting equipment made possible by this use of radio.
