CALL OFF MOTOR
SHOW THIS YEAR
IN BAY DISTRICT
The 20th annual Pacific Auto
Show, scheduled to ba held In tha
- Ban Francisco civic auditorium No
vember 2 to 0, has been cancelled be
cause of tha mechanics' auto atrlke
how In effect In San Francisco which
has resulted In the closlnR ot tha
hops, service and parts departments
of the dpaler members of the Motor
Car Dealer association.
Announcement of the calling off of
the bio automobile show, an annual
event which has been nationally fa
mous because of the large amount
of money spent by the dealers for
muato, entertainment features and
decorations, was mode today by Don
Ollmore, president of the dealer as
sociation, at a luncheon given news
paper men at the St. Francis hotel.
"We regret exceedingly that we are
compelled to tnke this action at this
time because the loss of the show
will hurt San Pranclsco'a hotels, res
taurants and amusements aa well aa
deprive the automobile dealers of the
annual show of new models which
has done a great deal to stimulate
public buying Interest In the now
models and has brought proaperity
' and work to San Francisco people In
lines of business endeavor.
"However, we have no choice In
the matter. The mechanics' union
In their strike demands have insisted
on a closed shop and further de
manded that no employe shall be
hired for this department without
sanction of the tail on, in effect a htr
' lng hull. The dealers have carefully
ntudled the problems and cannot ac
cede to these demands because of
th peculiar nature of their business
which demands mechanics of special
training to work on cars of special
makes. The hiring hall principle is
Inimical to the success of automobile
service business where dealers build
their future business on the good
vtll of their owners. Service ren
dered by cnreless and Inefficient me
chanics serves to discredit the make
of car handled by the dealer and
works an Irreparable damage to hts
business. The dealers, therefore, find
that for these sound economic rea
son they cannot adopt the closed
ah op or the hiring hall principle for
their business.
"Here Is Involved no question of
wages or hours, sweat shop condi
tions or child labor," said Ollmore.
There appears to be no major Issue
Involved except the closed shop and
hiring hall, and the dealers sincerely
regret their inability to compromise
on tnese points.
"This strike, coming at this time,
seriously hampers In this commun
ity the working out of the presi
dent's recovery program, a part of
which was the advancing of the new
model dates to the fall months In or
der that workera might have employ
' ment In the factories, the service
hops and the deolors' show rooms
during an otherwise slack senson.
"It was at the request of President
Jtoonevelt made last January that
the automobile Industry brought out
Its models In October and November
and that suto shows were scheduled
for November. However, as far aa
San Francisco is concerned, all of this
Industrial planning U lost because of
this unfortunate and ill-timed strike
which Is aimed at the prosperity ot
the general publlo as well as the
dealers and which blocks the success
of the president's recovery program
M far as this section Is concerned.
"The dealers have no quarrels with
their men," continued Ollmore. "They
therefore have no intention of trying
to operate the shops with non-union
help. They will continue to keep
their shops service and parts de
partments closed during the atrlke. i
Show rooms, however, are open for
the display of motor cars and sales- I
men are on the Job. as they ant notj
affected by the strike In the shop.
However, no owner can get parte or
have repairs made on his or her car
car and the dealer sincerely regret
this inconvenience to the San Fan
clsco motoring publie."
1-M1NUTE SAFETY TALKS
By Don Herold
I 6ues I hit hm
because-. am -tired
THE EVENING RASH HOUR
There art more than three timet It
many automobile accident! during the
four evening rush hours as there are
during the four morning rush hours.
" Dhit means that we should drive
more than three times aa carefully in
the evening as we do in the morning. v
Drive carefully In the morning, but
drive three times that carefully on your
way home in the evening, because then
the statistica are all stacked against
you.
The automobiles are the tame In the
evening, but the people are different.
The people are tiredhungry, hurried,
and maybe cross, and they don't care
whom they hit. And, on winter eve
ning they are driving too fast for their
headlights. Headlights are really good
only about 100 feet ahead. Beyond
that, you are guessing.
Last year 2,810 people were killed by
automobiles during the morning rush
hours from 6 to 10, but 10,940 were
killed during the evening rush hours
from 5 to 9 almost four times as many,
according to statistics developed fcy
The Travelers Insurance Company.
Let these figures be your guide.
FIRE PREVENTION
Maxie Rosenblpom
Loses To Veteran
SPOKANK, Oct. 13 (AP) Maxie
ItoKenbloom had slipped another
tep today from the llght-heavy-welght
fighting throne he once oc
cupied, while Tiger Jack Fox. Spo
kane's veteran negro ring warrior,
yed greener California pastures.
The Tiger won a close decision
over the former champion In a 10
round bout here Frldsv night.
A survey of preventive measures
carried out during the six-day period
waa In sued by Fire Chief Roy Billott
laat night aa fire prevention week
came to a close.
Every child In all the Medford
schools was given a four-page pam
phlet that called attention to fire
hazards and told- how to remove
them. Tha leaflet, prepared for dis
tribution by State Fire Marshal Hugh
H. Barle, described by word and pic
ture the hazards that are commonly
encountered In the home. The stu
dents were Instructed to take the
pamphlets home for discussion with
their parents, Chief Elliott anld. At
tached to each leaflet was a coupon
to be filled out by each pupil who
succeeded In eliminating any of the
hazards described, the number of
such dangers so removed to be speci
fied. The returns made during the
week. Chief Elliott said, were gratlfy
Ingly large and showed that the stu
dents understood the seriousness or
fire prevention.
Drills Are Held i
The whole-hearted co-operation of j
the principals, teachers and students
made thla "the best fire prevention
week we have ever had," Mr. Elliott
said.
Drills were held during the week
at all the schools under chief Elliott's
supervision. Medford high school,
with an enrollment of 6fi3, waa emp
tied In 70 seconds, his report shows. I
The school uses a system of squads
and guards during fire drills, he sstd.
all the other schools of the city using
practically the aame system.
Junior high school, with an enroll
ment of 063, was evacuated In 67 sec
onds; Roosevelt school, with an en
rollment of 300. In 46 seconds; Lin
coln school, with an enrollment of
2A0, in 80 seconds; Jackson school,
with an enrollment of 313. In 00 sec
onds; Washington school, with an en- '
rollment of 400, In 60 seconds; and
St. Mary's academy, with an enroll
ment of 1M, In 80 seconds. j
During the week B. L. Barry, fire
Insurance adjuster, addressed the
high school student assembly on pre-;
ventlve measures.
Warning Issued '
Chief Elliott pointed out that,
apropos fire prevention week, the
Southern Oregon Fire Fighters' asso
ciation was organised here for the
purpose of considering fire problems
at formal meetings once a month. It
is the aim of the association to work
out new methods of fire fighting and
to reduce louts, he explained. Fire
fighters In all neighboring communi
ties are eligible for membership, the
monthly meeting to rotate among the
cities represented by membership, he
said.

"When a permit Is obtained to
burn trash or rubbish," Chief Elliott
advised, "we urge the people to watoh
the fire or to put it out before they
leave it, as we had seversl calls dur
ing the past summer where rubbish
fires spread to rcsldonces."
TO BE FILLED SOON
BY CCC CONTINGENT
The new camp recently completed
in Prescott Memorial park will be
filled by & company of CCC men
from the Vancouver barracks dis
trict in the near future, Medford
headquarters were Informed yester
day, While the exact date of the trans
fer has not been determined, It was
expected at headquarters hers that
the camp will be occupied before
November 1,
Tn view of the fact that CCC en
rollment was recently curtailed, the
filling of Camp Prescott waa viewed
here aa a feather In the cap of the
Medford CCC district.
The company to be transferred
to Camp Prescott waa formerly sta
tioned at Gold Beach In the winter,
being shifted to the Vancouver bar
racks district In the .summer.
Another movement of CCO men
was to taka place today with the
winter evacuation of Camp Lava
Beds. A cadre of 13 men was to
be transferred to the Monterey, Cal., :
district, but the remainder of the
company will be shifted to Camp
Oak Knoll which la in the Medford
district. At full strength, a company
Is composed of about 300 men,
ADDED PERSONNEL
URGED FOR SAFETY
WASHINOTOW, . C.i Oct. is one
of the weakeat factors In the road
safety machinery of the stales la the
shortage of personnel In the state
highway patrols, the American Auto
mobile association declared today.
Because of the rapid and dispro
portionate Increase In fatalltea and
Injuries In rural areaa traversed by
high-apeed atate highways, the . na
tional motoring body strongly vecom
mended that atate highway patrol
forcea be doubled In strength ea
quickly aa, possible.
"Our aurvey," aald the A A. A.
statement, "proves In the moat posl.
tlve manner that the highway patrols
and the offleere delegated for patrol
duty from the atate highway po'loe
are doing excellent work, but that
they are too few In number to cope
with the motor vehicle density c
with the mileage they have to cover.
It continued:
"At the moment, there are leas
than 9.000 men used for traffic con
trol duty on rural highways. Thla
means one patrolman for every 5.000
motor vehlclea arid one patrolman
for every 70 mllea of atate highway.
And yet. It la on these highway that
by far the larger proportion of motor
accidents, fatalltlea and Injuries oc
cur, the record for 1934 allowing that
there were 23,100 motor fatalities In
rural areaa, aa compared to 13,900 In
urban sections. '
"That the atatea are alive to the
alue of the patrol force la Indicated
tyr the fact that four atatea, namely.
Colorado, Montana. North Dakota arid
Oklahoma, established patrols for the
first time this year, while seven
etates, Connecticut, Mlatourl. New
Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Wash
ington and west Virginia. Increaaed
the personnel of the force. But in the
face of thla, the reeponalbU officials
In almost every atate tell us that they
must be greatly increased In atrength
to do an effective Job.
"While the men are on the whole
well trained, able, conscientious, and
efficient, there are certain weakneaaea
of organization which should be cor
rected. Where the atate highway po
lice are used for patrol duty., the de
tachment uaed for thla purpoae
should be segregated. In too many In
stances the patrola are uaed for duties
which are. to aay the leaat. not Inti
mately connected with the promotion
of safety and the facilitation of
travel, auch. for example, as the col
lection of motor taxes, the collection
of business taxea, and the examina
tion of livestock In transit. Even In
many caaea where the entire cost of
the patrol la defrayed from motor
vehicle taxea, the patrols are used for
extraneou purposes. Responsibility
for the patrola should be more closely
knit Into the motor vehicle adminis
tration. "A civil service status would piob.
ably assure younger and be.ter equlp-
ner men. more permanence tor oince.
and more Independence of politlca
and favoritism. But even with exist
ing weaknesaea, the presence of theae
men on the highways has a very sa
lutary effect In minimising accident
frequency, In keeping speed within
Masonable control. In the arrest of
car thieves, In helping uniformity of
enforcement, which In turn nas a
tendency to act as a check on the
age-old depredatlona of the small
town J. P.'a and their hand-picked
conatables."

Protected By Pncllork
It waa aeen parked on a Medford
atreet Just the other dny. Its red paint
slightly faded but Its- original equip
ment Intact and still functioning sat
isfactorily, everything, that Is, except
ing the speedometer which long ago
tired of clicking off the mileage and
kicked up Its heels In exhaustion.
It Is a touring car converted Into
sedan and Its tires are the old-
fashioned high pressure 34 by 4 mod
els which went out of use ten or la
years ago. The car, as It stood on the
street, was protected from theft by a
big padlock on the door.
The other old car la a 1014 Ford,
owned by A. M. Halladay of t3 North
Palm atreet. It, waa the first car Mr.
Halladay ever bought and It Is the
only on he has ever owned. He pur
chased It 31 yeara ago last June at
the Oatea Auto Company which to

The car la still giving excellent
service and has never caused Its own
er any regrets, Mr. Halladay aald yes
terday. He does not know how much
mileage It has done, for the speed
ometer quit ten yeara ago.
The Ford la a roadster, decorated

"She still Jogs along." Mr. Halladay
aald affectionately. "I have a little
trouble starting It occasionally on
cold mornings but they're all that
way. I have to crank It, of course, as
It has no self-starter."
Mr. Halladay'a car was In the In

waa photographed with the 20,000,
