Read About Wonder Clock
Heidelberg, Germany (U.R) The world'! most marvelous clock
is on view here.
It took Michael Wailz 39 years to put the 12-foot apparatus
together, and if he hadn't told his two sons on his death bed how
to handle the hundreds of wheels and transmissions the world
would never have seen the won-
der clock m operation.
The glittering clock now set
up in a tiny workshop here does
everything to let you know what
time, day, month or season it is,
and it throws in extra perform
ances. A deep gong bangs out every
minute.
The quarter hours are an
nounced by a child, a teen ager,
an adult and an old man, who
appear in front of the clock. All
four are hand carved.
A skeleton death declares the
past hour dead every 60 min
utes. He comes out of the "clock
house," too.
When death appears he is
"guarded" by an angel looking
from a window above.
Also on stage every hour are
the 12 apostles to bow before
Christ, who blesses every one of
them from his position atop the
clock.
When Hitler's propaganda
minister, Paul Joseph Goebbels,
took a look at the construction
before it was finished he asked
that the 12 apostles be replaced
bv a dozen storm troopers.
"Christ's blessings would suit
them well," he is reported to
have said. Waltz rejected the
request.
In the morning, at noon, and
shortly before sunset a sexton
rings a special bell for prayers
as an old man bends his knees
onrt raises his hands in prayer.
During the dark hours a night
watchman toots his horn. The
new dav is heralded by a crow
ing cock from the roof of the
clock, and ushered in by an
angel.
In addition to telling the time
in both hemispheres, you may
gather what day, month or year
it is from the clock's season
dial which also marks Christ
mas, Easter, the signs of the
zodiac and the four seasons.
New Year's Eve is greeted by
bugler playing a fanfare on
his trumpet.
That, however, isn't all.
If you want to know where
moon will be 10,000 years from
now, just ask Waltz's clock. It
also shows Christ s last days in
a special Easter performance.

FBI Scared Him
Witness Says
San Francisco, Aug. 24 )
The FBI scared him: Norman
Reyes says that's the reason his
statement to federal agents last
fall didn't agree with the story
he has been telling to bolster
the Tokyo Rose treason defense.
His all-inclusive support of
the defense faltered Monday and
Cmpltal Journal, Salem, Or., Wednesday, Aug. 14, 194911
Tuesday is the federal prosecu
tor hammered at him with his
own FBI statements. They con
tradicted his defense testimony
that the accused Tokyo Rose,
Mrs. Iva Toguri D' Aquino, like
prisoners of war, was forced to
broadcast over Radio Tokyo in
wartime.
It was on redirect examina
tion by Defense Counsel Wayne
Collins, late yesterday, that
Reyes, a former Philippine
army lieutenant, explained:
The FBI agents told him, at
one point:
"All right, that's enough of
this . If you want to go over
to the other side, all right. But
if you want to know it, we'w
got a lot of stuff on you and can
pass it on to the counter-intelligence
corps in the Philip
pines." He would have signed any
thing, "to get out from under,"
Reyes swore.

A MEDICAL CENTER IS BORN. First National Group banks
take genuine interest in community betterment endeavors of
individuals and groups. An example is the Moreland-Sellwood
Bank's financial cooperation in establishment of the Moreland
Medical Center. This privately owned and operated Center,
with its medical and dental equipment and space for future
growth, adds another convenient health facility to this growing
section of Portland. The Center overlooks the Willamette
River. The building was finished and opened in 1947. Shown
at the Center's entrance are Staff Members Gloria Stevens (left)
and Jean Heitkcmper, RN.
These people are builders of Oregon
among the thousands who produce the unusually wide
variety of services and products in our state. Each helps create
more Jobs and opportunities for all of us.
Yes, Oregon's growth Is dependent upon people working
together family by family, farm by farm and business by
business. We in the First National Bank Group work with
citizens helping them by making constructive financial
services widely available.
LET'S BUILD OREGON TOGETHER'
WELDS STEEL INTO BOAT WORKS. Since G. M. Nichols (left) first tried his hand st
boat building in 1941 on the Columbia River, his G. M. Nichols Boat Works at
Hood River has constructed 40 welded steel craft. In developing this Oregon business,
Nichols has had the help of his two sons, Frank (shown here at right) and Victor
(not in picture), in addition to his partner in Portland, Capt. Harry A. Bell. Most
Nichols-designed boats, including ferries at Arlington and Patterson, are of a
shallow-draft, tunnel-stern type. Three deep-sea trailers and 35 highly maneuverable
tugs have been built. "Whatever our financial needs, Hood River Branch of First
National has had the answer," Nichols said. ,
