PAGE FIVE )( Campaign Launched to Reduce Loss From Motor Accidents MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON. SUNDAY. JANUARY 13. 1935. n a a a innT Mini i in i.., a i The AUTO WAY- STAGGERING LOSS OF PROPERTY AND LIFE DURING 1934 It U estimated that over 30.000 people were killed In automobile ac cidents during 1934. One million or more were Injured and the property damage ran Into figures that are staggering. Many of these accidents are due to faulty brakes and head lights, and unsafe ttres, authorities say. Others come as a result of care lessness and various causes. One of the saddest comments of this awful penalty, is that over 7000 or one-fifth of the total killed will be children of school age. These poor Innocent victims have no control over this outrage to soc iety. Only education, cooperation and safety drives can reduce the tremend ous list of Injuries and property dam age. Parent-Teachers associations, au tomobile clubs and other organiza tions carry on a constant fight to make street safer for pedestrians and car owners alike. Safety zones, signals and road sigiu have been erected wherever money has been available for such work and have materially reduced driving haz ards. Yet In spite of all this effort ac cident reports continue to Increase and the number of fatalities and In juries mounts dally. An effort Is being made to Induce other communities to Join the safety drive and send their police squads out to conduct brake and headlight tests. This campaign if successful will Include every key city In the eleven western states. The Firestone Service Stores, Inc.. of this city are starting off the 1935 safety drive through a forceful edu cations.! campaign In Med ford. Mayor Urges Safe Driving RULES FOR SAFETY I j 1 -& Jennings Brothers To Operate Service Station in Med ford Of Interest to southern Oregon motorists la the announcement that Lewis and Paul Jennings have leased the Sixth Street Super Service from the Signal Gas and Oil company. The new proprietors took possession yes terday. The Jennings brothers will special ize In complete lubricating service. I heartily endorse every step that can be taken tending to the Improve ment of driving conditions and safe ty of the motoring public. The ap palling Increase In automobile acci dents and the resultant looa of 1 1 f v and property calls for immediate action in educating the public In safe driving and eliminating the many causes of accidents. In fairness to those who ride with him as well as the public, the man who drives a car should be absolute ly sure that his oar's brakes are safe, the lights properly adjusted and his tires dependable and well inflated. These precaution, plus a thorough understanding of traffic regulations and a generous measure of common sense will do much to reduce the mounting toll from motor accidents. As mayor of Medford, I wish to urge every citizen to cooperate with city police and traffic officials In an unceasing campaign for safe driv ing.

Due to the development of a vacuum spark control, the high compression causes no knocking with ordinary fuels. The engine has larger water jackets, spray-cooting of (he exhaust valve inserts, sir-cooled generator, automatic choke, automatic vacuum spark control, automatic carbureter heat control, thermostat water circulation control, oil alter, sir cleaner, impulse neutraluer, and other features. Fresh, trim lines, and a long list of interior re finements and conveniences are olTercd in this new Dodge Coupe in which roominess, baggage carrying lacilitiet. speed, power and ease of handling are a few of many outstanding qualities. Among mechanical features ate the new Devise "synchromatK" front suspension, synchro-silent i IransmiRtion, patented Homing power engine mountings, and many other outstanding details. Of intense Interest among innovations distinguishing thi 1U5 Dodge models, is a new front suspension. The system incorporates a rigid front axle, double-acting hydraulic shock Absorbers, leaf springs of twice the usual softneu, and the Jtodge tide "levclator" operating between rubber cushions nd controlling the i(ring action. The new suspension, termed "aynchromatie" marks neither forward step in riding comfort and gives the desired smooth nde, fice from rolling ot sway. Butte Fails BUTTE PALLS. Jan. 12. (Spl.)

Tly Tvrll Sander The DeSoto "twins" have Just been announced ond they far surpass any thing DeSoto has ever built before, either for smartness or engineering. The "twins" are the "Alrstream" and the "Airflow." They both have many v engineering developments auch automatic choke, automatic mani fold heat control, air-cooled genera tor, valve seat Inserts, and ventilated clutch. The "Alrstream" has an Im proved Independent wheel suspension along with new weight distribution to give a much better ride, while the "Airflow" has a rest y led radiator which gives the hood a longer appear ance and Improves the general looks of the car. Both cars have new dash boards, and smart Interiors uphols tered In a new Bedford cord. The new Chevrolets have been an nounced and I am anxious to see what General Motors has Introduced for the low price field From the illustrations 1 have seen X am sure they will be very interesting. I was very surprised when I saw the new Nash this week. It has pleasing, rounded contours which present a fvellng or heaviness as IX the car fairly hugged the road. Though the design as a whole Is quite a departure from any previous Nash, if you notice the details you will see many of the lines are the same or similar to the 04 cars. A feature of the Interior which caught my attention was the new tailoring of the seats. The back or the seat has something of a box construction which gives an appear ance of crisp neatness. This new Nash has also adopted an all-steel body and hydraulic brakes. The new Olds mobile arrived th,s week and It has the new solid steel "turret top" which General Motors has Introduced this year. It hr.s re tained the knee action and hyJraulic brakes it had last year anc". it has added many new body refinements such as a compartment f jr baggage and spare tire, oonvenlerc arm rests.
