initial showings were Mrs. Goff, state
Grange lecturer, and twenty Grange
masters who assembled at the court
house building in Roseburg. A. U.
McMlcken. general sales manager of
the P. G. and E. organization was
one of the most enthusiastic endors
ers of the Medford-made picture, con
sidered the first of Its kind of educa
tional Illpis to be produced In the
west.
The facts concerning electrical ap
pliances and equipment on farms
are authentic, being backed by signed
statements of successful Oregon farm
ers. "Jim Staya on the Farm" Is the
first of a aeries of educational pic
tures planned by the sales depart
ment of the Califomia Oregon Power
company and Mountain States Elec
tric company for showing in rural
communities.
Medford and the Rogue River val
ley will be given splendid advertising
through the introductory film which
will be shown in connection with
"Jim Stays on the Farm." Pictures
taken by H. D. Kem during the Ore
gon Diamond Jubilee in Medford last
summer, with synchronized music,
are to be shown. This film has an
appropriate introduction with glimpses
of methods of spreading the publicity
and advertising of the celebration
and trains, cars and airplanes bring
ing Jubilee crowds to this city.
The Initial Medford-made picture,
which has merited the praise and en
dorsement of all who have previewed
It, reflects the energy and ability of
the producer, Huxley Kem. It Is an
example of the up-to-the-minute
methods of the California Oregon
Power company and the Mountain
States Power company to familiarize
the farmers and ranchers of this
state with the advantages of mod
ern, electrical methods.

The new 1035 Dodge six automo
bile will have 95 improvements and
refinements, according to W. W. Al
len, manager of the Pierce-Allen Mo
tor company, and I. C. Taylor, sales
manager, who returned yesterday from
a meeting In Portland. This was one
of 30 meetings held throughout the
United States for the purpose of ex
plaining Dodge Brothers' policies for
the year 1935 and to show the new
1936 Dodge six automobiles to the
dealers and their sales organizations.
Mr. Allen says: "The factory Is
now in production of the new auto
mobiles and, due to the distance from
the factory, the Pacifrc coast points
will receive automobiles for display
earlier than other parts of the coun
try. The date of display is Indefi
nite. , A more complete public an
nouncement will be made wb,en the
first car load arrives, which we think
will be about December 15. The
dealers and salesmen received the
new models with a tremendoua en
thusiasm. Mr. Taylor says: "The new model
Is second to none in beauty, style,
smartness, performs nee, appearance
and in every detail. I have never
seen an automobile body that har
monises as well as the new Dodge.
Many of the Improvements are en
tirely new to the automobile Indus
try." A similar meeting for the showing
of the new Plymouth automobile will
be held In San Francisco December
4 and in Portland December 6. Mr.
Allen says: "We have been Informed
that the new Plymouth automobile
will also embody the same outstand
ing features of refinement and me-'
chanlcal construction as shown in the
nsw Dodge. We will not be able to
announce definite delivered prices
until the new automobiles are In,
actual volume production. We have
entered our order for several carloads
of the new models and they will be
displayed as soon as they are re
ceived. Automobiles should be re
leased for retail delivery at an early
date."
NEW YORK, (UP) The president's
drive for home modernization and
building is drawing whole-hearted
response from young Americans, too.
With enthusiasm for playroom build
ing projects more than doubled, pre
views pt Santa Clans' pack for 1954
show several hundred new types of
construction set to educate the
youngest set.
Add-a-room doll houses, sky
scrapers, apartment houses, bunga
lows, garages and farm groups are
only a few of the miniature build
ing Jobs that children are tackling
with enthusiasm. Doll houses furn
iture Is featured in sets for each
part of the house Including draw
ing room, bedroom, bathroom and
kitchen, so that juvenile interior
decorators enn modernize their doll
houses In the very latest period
style.
The building sets are designed to
educate the capabilities of every age
group from two up. ABC blocks are
packed In wagons and autos to give
baby's building activity a grownup
flavor. There are architectural blocks
which can be put together in- mod
ernistic designs. There are apartment
house blocks with windows Indicat
ed, so that the fumbling fingers of
the very young can produce a real
istic structure.
For the older children both boys
and girls are enthusiastic builders-
there are steel construction seta.
Realistic boats, trains, airplanes, as
well as houses and bridges are now
within the scope of the playroom
builder.

DETROIT. (UP) A new type of
glider wing, stronger s.nd lighter than
the conventional type, has beta de
veloped by 'three University of De
troit student engineers, working In
the aeronautical laboratories, who
submitted It as a thesis for their en
gineering degrees.
Norman L. wtllett won the Society
of Automotive engineers annual gold
medal for his part In the work with
John P. Pahl. Tiffin. Ohio, and Wil
liam P. Sherman. Detroit.
New Censtruvtlon
Incorporating a load -resisting con
struction not previously used in air
craft wings, the wing also has a fold
ing attachment that will permit It to
be folded close to the fuselage for
storage and transportation to soaring
contests. The 45-foot tapering wings
class it as a soaring glider or sail-;
plane. (
According to calculations, the glider;
will fly on a path with a glide ratio
of ISA to 1, compared to the normal
airplane glide of approximately 10
feet forward for each foot descent.
Cltin to II u I Id Glider
The glider, partially built by the
designers, will be completed by the
U. of D. Glider club, and will be
ready for flight in a few months.
Willett pointed out that the most
common type of wing structure is one
In which two beams are used to re
sist the principal loads imposed by
the air. In the new U. of D. gilder
there Is only one main supporting spar
and attached behind it 1b a secondary
type of beam known as a sesqil-spar.
This part of the structure is a single
light steel tube and It Is attached to
the main spar by a train of steel-
tube triangles which transmit loads
from the rear of the wing.
The structure has the Important
function of resisting the torsion
which acts on the wing in a nose
dive. Because both the main spar
and the sesqul-spar are rigidly at
tached by the triangle of steel tubes,
they must deflect equally and in the
same direction, despite opposite loads
acting together on the wing. .
