"It is simply this if you enter on the right side of the car place your right foot on the running board, and if you enter the left side of the car, step up with your left foot. You then simply have to pivot about and you are in a posi tion to sit down gracefully.

This Is the Texaco certi fied Service Station No. 1 of Salem, a comparatively new, ultra-modern service station, located on the edge of the business district. The llrm. Bonesteel Sales & Ser vice, Inc.. Is the sole and exclusive agency for Studebaker cars and trucks and will operate a new car display showroom and service de partment for all Studebaker own ers in this area, according to Rus sell Bonesteele. 60 SLOW AND LIVE, MOTORISTS ADVISED Ordinarily sane persons in a hurry to get somewhere in an automobile are wont to throw caution to the nrtnri as thev open the throttle, skimp on red light intervals, screech around corners ignoring stop streets, arm signals, other traffic. They com monly commit any and all of these offenses to save tune. Suddenly they may have to blast nn t.hp hraiees. Thcv mav escape with or without even a twisted hubcap; or they may crash sickeningiy at death's door. These persons dally thread through the scurry of modem traffic, with the excuse that the inevitable peril they presage is balanced by the min utes spared. What they are doing, in tact, is demanding to trade 62.2 years for ftv. rianser-frailEht minutes. The average man's life span today Is 62.2 years. The time saved by reckless driving Is five minutes and four sec onds. Two cars, identically powered, were "raced" over the same course t.brnnoh heavv eltv traffic and in less clogged areas, at the same time. One car was driven in careful ob servance of the law and rules of safety; the other flouted as many provisions as reasonably possible during the trip. The "careless" car beat the "safety" car by five min utes and four seconds. SPEED STILL GREATEST RISK Excessive speed again leads the list of causes of automobile fatal ltes In Oregon, notes the Oregon State Motor association. Drivers flouting the speed laws last month here precipitated 574 accidents, four deaths.

"We feel very fortunate in obtaining such a desirable and established location both from the standpoint of con. ducting our Studebaker sales and service, and from the acquisition of Texaco company petroleum pro ducts, which have such universal acceptance," said Mr. Bonesteele. "Willie the Idea of operating a new car sales agency In conjunction with a super service station does seem a bit unusual. It appears to present a new type of retail car merchandis ing, as It has been successfully done in both the East and South." Already In use in several Ameri can cities is the Nash automobile shown above. This car may be con verted In one minute from a police squad car to an ambulance and haa met with widespread success In those cities In which It Is being uti lised. In these days of heavy traffic, police point out there are many occasions when ambulances are not available to carry injured persons to hospitals. Surgeons agree that It is essential that injured people, particularly those with broken Naturally T like to know my new car's in good hands.

I can tell if my car's been properly looked after by the way it handles on the road. "When I leave it for Standard Service and they report: It's in A-l shape now I know I can depend upon it! "I've proven to myself that Standard Service saves me a lot of trouble and expense.

STANDARD OIL COMPANY Of CALIF0INIA MOTOR'S CHALLENGE MET BY INDUSTRY New York Paced by the need of keeping pace with the giant strides taken by automobile engineers In motor design, the petroleum Indus try Is meeting the challenge by de veloping new fuels and lubricants to meet the exacting demands of modern motors, stated John D. Col lins, vice-president In charge of au tomotive sales of Tide Water Asso ciated Oil company, this week. "New lubrication problems weie created by the 1937 motor with its higher compressions, faster speeds, smaller parts and greater tempera tures," Mr. Collins said. "The petro leum Industry has answered with new type of gasoline, one contain ing a heat-proof and carbon free oil blended into the gas Itself. "These new gasolines supply the needs of the latest type of engine by constantly lubricating all top- cylinder parts, easing valve action and cutting down rapid wear of pis tons, rings and cylinders. Fuel en gineers are thus matching automo tive engineers step for step in the march of progress." "AUTOCIDES" LOOM Homicides totaled five In Portland I last year, suicides 23.
