OF BU1CK FOR '35
AHrfiMnn of a new model to the
Bute higher priced Series 80 Lim
ited group of motor cars i announc
ed by R. A. Skinner of Skinner's
Oarage, local Bulck dealer.
Mr. Skinner says. "Long a leader
In the upper medium price field, In
which It has a large exclusive clien
tele. Bulck has consistently main
tained a wide selection of models for
this group of buyers.
"The new model la a formal sedan,
combining the qualities of the lim
ousine and the standard six passen
ger sedan of the Series 90 Limited
group. New bodies by Plsher are feat
ured by a safety plate glass parti
tion separtlng the driving and rear
compartments. This can be raised or
lowered by means of a handle in
stalled In the back of the front scat.
The car thus may be converted Into
a full limousine or used aa a less
formal sedan when not chauffeur
driven.
"Dimensions of the new car pro
Tide two Inches more leg room than
the limousine type of body with
three Inches more space between the
back of the front scat and the wheel.
It Is designed to accommodate all
passengers when used as a sedan,
space lor three passengers being
available in both front and rear
compartments.
Instead of a header bar, as in the
limousine bodies, the plate glass par
tition rises flush -with the headlin
ing. To conform to sedan specifica
tions, upholstery is the same In both
front and rear compartments. In
Bulck limousine bodies, front com
partments are upholstered In
leather.
The new model Is built on a 138
Inch wheelbase chassis and la pow
red by the Bulck vlve-ln-head
tralght eight engine are. In other
Series 90 Limited earn. This develops
120 horsepower at 3,200 R. P. M..
giving a top speed of 87 miles an
hour and acceleration from 10 to 60
miles an hour In 21.4 seconds.
Streamlined In the manner of
other Bulck cars, the formal sedan
likewise has a built-in trunk, a fea
ture of all Bulck 1938 sedan models.
Safety glass In windshield and all
windows Is standard equipment. The
car Is delivered with six wheel equip
ment, spare wheels being carried in
front fender wells.
New Nash Cruising
Gear Increasing
Gasoline Mileage
The new Nash automatic cruising
gear, which Is proving a popular fea
ture on all Nash and Ambassador
"400" models, la Increasing gasoline
mileage from 16 per cent to 25 per
cent, according to Walter W Abbey,
local Nash, LaFayette, Willys 77 and
International truck dealer.
Mr. Abbey aays: "Nash automatic
cruising gear la the newest thrill in
motoring I It's simple, It's entirely
automatic, but what a difference It
makes In performance and what a
difference In the mileage.
"The cruising gear la like a 'fourth'
gear. It cornea Into operation auto
matically at a speed of approximately
45 miles an hour. Then what hap
pens? As you go faster and faster,
the revolutions of the engine are re
duced almost a third. You may be
hitting 60 or 70 but your motor will
only be loafing along I Every part of
the motor operates more slowly and
with no noise and no straining.
"For example, when you are driving
60 miles an hour, engine revolutions
re at the rat of only 42 miles an
hour normal car speed. At 80. your
engine turns at the rate of 58. When
the car speed Is reduced to about 30
miles an hour, the cruising gear au
tomatically ahlfts back to conven
tional high speed. This gives un
tlsusl power on hills and quick ac
celeration In city traffic. The cruis
ing gear increases oil mileage as much
as 50 per cent."
WASHINGTON. Feb. 8. W) F. E.
Mollln. of Denver, secretary of the
American Livestock association, said
today the association's forestry com
mittee would seek a 10-year exten
sion of grazing in national forests at
a meeting Monday with P. A. SUcox,
chief of the forest service.

Ford Builds 'High Wheeler' for Difficult Roads
A FORD V-8 "HIGH WHEELER" for nse In rural distrlcU
where exceptional road clearance is needed is now being produced by
tho Ford Motor Company. The car is equipped with 18-inch steel spoke
wheels and 6.00 by 18 4-ply tires, instead of the 16-inch drawn steel
wheels and 6.00 by 16 tires which are standard on the 1936 model.
The additional road clearance enables the "high wheeler" to nego
tiate roads with deep ruts and trails with high spots such as stones
and stumps. The view at right shows the standard wheel in front,
with the new "high wheel" behind.

Oldsmobile features are livelier power, increased luxury and comfort, super-hydraulic brakes,
center-control steering, solid steel "Turret Top" body by Fisher, knee-action wheels, smoother
performance, increased all-around economy and safety glass as standard equipment in all models.

AUTO FATALITIES
INCREASE IN 1935
Although Oregon as & whole reduc
ed Its traffic toll last year, Jackson
county records show an Increase In
automobile fatalities from three In
1934 to six In 1936. according to a
statement received here from W. R.
McDonald, director of the Oregon
State Motor association in charge of
safety.
Despite this local Increase, he said.
Oregon maintains a prominent posi
tion in the national safety record,
ranking second among states which
have shown outstanding reductions In
fatal accldrnts. Nationally, traffic
deaths soared to a new all-time high.
"Failure of Jackson county to bet
ter lta record In 1935 la no reason
for motorists here to feel that traffic
accidents are unavoldnble." the motor
club official declared 'We are only
Just beginning a new year and an
opportunity Is at hand to make a fine
showing."
McDonald pointed out that coun
ties In which Intense safety work had
been carried on generally reported
decreases. Klamath county, for- ex
ample, reduced lta traffic- toll from
33 In 1934 to 14 in 1936, he said.
Serious accidents can be eliminated
If every motorist handles his machine
Intelligently and observes traffic reg
ulations, which, fundamentally, are
nothing but rules of safety. To drive
safely one must always take his Job
behind the wheel aa a matter of life
and death.
"Perhaps one of the greatest reas
ons for serious automobile smaahlngs
in this county la the Inclination to
drive at high speeds over 'open' high
ways. Accidents occurring on roada
that appear to be clear are more
likely to prove fatal than those oc
curring In congested areas.
"If every motorist will observe a
few fundamental rulea of driving, I
feel certain that the records at the
end of the year will show a reduction.
These, briefly, are: Always keep full
control of your machine, slow down
after dark, observe the law and be
court pous to the other fellow."

THE RECORD OF "THE LINE"
Before we buy a ticket on any
railroad, steamship, or airplane
line, we are pretty sure that the
line lias a good record of safety.
Yet we'll accept without a
qualm a ride in an automobile
driven by almost any halrbralned
Idiot.
We'll even climb merrily Into
the rumble seat of a roadster
driven by a friend we know defi
nitely to be three sheets In the
wind.
And an automobile can go just
as fast as a train, can kill Just as
hard, crumple a whole lot more
easily, and it hasn't the benefit
of rails to guide it, or an elaborate
system of signals to slow It up, or
grade-crossings at Intersections.
The reputation of the automo
bile In unsafe hands, according
to the Travelers Insurance Com
pany, Is nearly 36,000 deaths and
a million persons injured annually.
You wouldn't think of buying a
ticket on a railroad whose em
ployees permitted 36.000 to b
killed and nearly a million In
jured annually.
The automobile is all right
Few accidents are caused by thi
automobile itself. It is the MAN
AGEMENT which Is wrong and
WE are the management. The au
tomobile's bad record is OUR bad
record.
Every time we step Into a motor
car we should reflect that we
have bought a ticket on a trans
portation system with a lousy
record our record and drive
with resolution to protect our
hide and the lives of others, and
to Improve the record of "the
line."
And we should learn how to say
"NO!" to invitations from care
less or liquored "engineers" of
other cars.
