It's the new all-steel station wagon by Studebaker. Up In the conestoga valley of Pennsylvania, from which the original wagon took its name. John Studebaker was recognized among the skilled German crafts men ss an expert wagon builder and blacksmith. His vehicles were among those that withstood the crossing of the Allegheny range in freight service from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh. John Studebaker built his first Conestoga in 1934, and in 18S1 this same wagon, with its swamp oak wheels and hand wrought hardware, brought the Stude baker family to South Bend. Here they plied their trade during the westward expansion, building more Conestogas, and later the equally famous farm wagon. Then came the automobile. The year 1904 saw the first Stuacbaker gasoline automobile. During the next 90 years apJ proximately four million Stude baker vehicles followed the 'na tion's highways wherever people traveled. , America is still on the move, and for people who go places the new Studebaker Conestoga sta tion wagon proudly lives up to the name at its.

HP- Four teen-agers accused of string ing a steel cable across a street two feet above the pavement ex plained they were bored because there were no recreational facili ties in their neighborhood. Easing Sought For Quarantine Oregon is urging seme modi fication ia the new Porto Rico quarantine affecting the ship ment of gladiolus bulbs into that country, according to Frank ate- Kennon, chief of the division of plant industry of the 'Oregon state department of agreuttiure. A bearng on the matter is slated for January 11 at San Juan, . Shipment of at least one order about $2000 worth of Oregon glad bulbs is being held up until this quarantine a clarified or modified, says McKennon. The Puerto Rico quarantine, which went into effect last De cember 8, apparently requires that gladiolus bulbs entering the island bo grown in an area free from Curvularia tunata and Fit-1 sariura ozysporum diseases and also be from planting, not flow ering, stock. The quarantine (Oregon officials have not yet received a eopy) also prohibits entry of four varieties cf glad bulbs Picardy, Spotlight, Corona and Purple Supreme. McKennon has advised the Puerto Rico plant quarantine service director, Luis A. Catonia, that Oregon can certify to free dom from Curvularia lunata on bulbs grown ia the northern part of. the state but that Fusarium oxysporum is known to be pres ent wherever glads are grown although Northwest Oregon is the most favorable area tor pro duction of Futarium-f.ee gladio lus eornu. This disease is not I difficult to control" " McKennon supported his letter urging modification with infor mation from Dr. Roy A. Young, plant pathologist at Oregon Slate College, relative to the disease covered in the quarantine order.
