PAGE TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. BEDFORD, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 21, 1931 864 SERVANTS AT OF Model of Electric Age Shown by Westinghouse Even Garage Doors Open by Turning On Car Radio MANSFIELD. O. (UP) A model "home of the future," more complete ly electrified than ever before has been attempted, has been opened here for public l rupee t Ion. It represents what engineers of 30 different departments of the Wes tinghouse Electric and Manufactur ing company conceive will be avail able to the average householder five or ten years hence. If all the switches are turned on at once It represents electrical capa city equal to 864 servants at work, ssy the engineers. The house consume? 30 times more electrical energy than the average home of today, but Its de signers point out that already there Is an over-production of power In the United States, and when the gigantic government projects now under way are completed the availability of low- cost power In homes should be prac tically limitless. Air Conditioned The house is completely "air con ditioned." That U, warm air in the winter and cool air In the summer Is circulated through the house from a "weather room" In the basement. The lighting Is all . "shadowless. Sunken panel lights around the win dows will give the effect of daylight streaming in at any hour. This modest home is equipped with seven radio sets. One of them Is an all-wave affair. Another Is Installed in the family automobile, and It worles one of the most marvelous automatic contraptions of all. Easy for Mother Mother, driving home from bridge or tea in tho family car doesn't have to get out and open cumbersome gar age doors. As she approaches, she simply turns on her radio. The garage doors open, as though by unseen hands. She drives In. shuts off the ra dio, the garage doors close automatic ally. . ' The kitchen Is one of tho "straight-line production" affairs. The electric range heats up In a Jiffy. The broiler broils a steak or chops on both sides at once. Food mixers, egg beat ers and gadgets of that sort are per manently installed, and all operate merely by turning switches. The dish washer not only washes the dishes but rinses and dries them.. Ultro-violet rays and Infra-red rays are provided In bedrooms and bath rooms. Garbage and waste paper Is automatically dumped Into outdoor receptacles. There are no fires to burn out, and the elocttio mater is out doors. . 'f -. 'l . Tv LINDY CRITICIZES AIRMAIL POLICY Col. Charla, A.

Replying to criticism of the cancel lation. Bui winkle termed the adminis tration of former Postmaster-General Walter P. Brown a "putrid mass of petrification" likened only to tite "frauda and collusion" of the Teapot Dome acandals. Turning to cancellation of the con tracts without first giving the air mall companies a hearing, he argued that "any contract or agreement be tween two or more parties always has been and always will be vitiated by fraud." Facts Studied He said he had "calmly and dispas sionately" studied "all of the facts" in the air mall case and to support his argument that fraud was evident he reviewed much of the testimony brought out by the Investigating com mittee headed by Senator Black, (D , Ala.) "I doubt," Bui winkle said. "If at any time In the history of the nation HOP HOERS STRIKE FOR 5 CENT WAGE INCREASE INDEPENDENCE,, Msrch 31.

Chevrolets are being produced at a record-breaking rate of .,., . ... mmr ,, kjjjifflj mm units a day! CHEVROLET factories are breaking records, trying to give America all the cars it wants. 4000 units a day are rolling off the assembly lines. February output was twice that of January. March output, accord big to present indications, will be three times that of January. More Chevrolets are now being produced than any other make of auto mobile in the world. And today, Chevrolet is happy to report that all its dealers will soon be in a position to make immediate deliveries. When you consider how short a time the new Chevrolet has been in productiou when you consider, also, that the 1934 car is not last year's model improved, but a basically new automobile, with sweeping changes in design this production record becomes somewhat of an accomplishment. But, a still greater ac eomplishment, in our opinion, is the uvy that these cars have all been produced! Despite continued nationwide pressure for more and more volume, every car that has left the factorit s has been built and tested to meet Chevrolet's highest standards of care, precision and quality. The result: When you place your order for a new Chevrolet, you'll not only get a big, rugged "Knee-Action" car you're also assured of getting a typical Chevrolet car in economy, dependability and long life.
