MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGOy. STJOT) AY. AUGUST 23. 1938 PAGE SEVEN 1 BMBS Two southern Oregon men, Richard B. McElhose of Medford and Arthur 6. Taylor of Ashland, wer among -Jven receiving honorable mention In jthB search for the state's safest driver, completed last week by the Oregon State Motor association. Records of over 600 drivers were examined by a board of five Judges headed by Earl Snell, secretary of state, and Robert 8. K reason, Dallas attorney, waa selected for first hon ors. Together with a "safest driver" from each state In the union, Krea son will attend a two-day conference on traffic problems to be held In New York, with all expenses of the round trip paid by the American Automobile asROcltlon. Charles P. Cordiner of Portland was selected as alternate. Although Mr. Kreason has been driving for 30 years, during which time he has covered approximately 310.000 miles -without accident or ar rest, Mr. McElhose boasts an even more Impressive mileage, having cov ered approximately 610,000 miles in his work as a salesman during the p89t 26 ears. The local man's record Is also en tirely free of accidents or arrests. In addition to the formidable mileage U piled up by McElhose in pursuit of his business, and for which an sccu .rate record waa obtained from Harold D. Grey, former automobile dealer, whose records show the speedometer readings on cars purchased by Mc Elhose, the Med ford driver has toured thousands of miles on pleasure trips, of which no record is obtainable. An interesting fact gleaned from records kept by Mr. Grey Is that on one car purchased by McElhose, a pslr of four-ply tires on the front wheel traveled 31,000 miles. This performance is cited as being possible only where careful driving prevails. Although his business as salesman lor the Fisher Flouring Mills Co. re quires covering of long distances and keeping to predetermined schedules, Mr. McElhose has never been In too much hurry to observe all require ments of careful driving. Mr. Mc Elhose was commander of Medford post of the American Legion In 1626. Goodyear Dealer Says Tires Should Be Checked Now y "In Just a few more weeks the streets will be filled with hurrying '. school children. No other one fact places a greater responsibility upon motorists," said O. O. Furnas, Good year dealer, located at Main and Riv erside. "It U not enough," he continued, "to drive carefully always on the alert to avoid possible accidents. Fur ther Insurance against accidentally striking some unwary schoolchtld is to have your tires completely check ed." Most drivers, he explained, do not consciously drive carelessly without regard for human life but all too of ten smooth worn tires with resultant poor traction fall to respond to the driver's pressure upon the brakes Cansequently skidding not only en dangers the pedestrian's life but the driver's as well. "Too many of us," he said, "In an ffore to economize financially are extravagant and heedless of the value f human life. The most effective precaution against endangering our own and the lives of others Is to have your car completely checked. Be aure 4, that the brakes hold. Then be sure that the four points of contact with the ground the tires have suffi cient traction to respond quickly to the brake's command. Lastly, drive carefully. Then, and only then, can we be sure that the lives of out school children are protected to the utmost of human ability." BRONX VANILLA FANCY MONIKER FOR GARLIC BUFFALO, Aug. 11.

J INSPIRE SURVEY WITH FORD FLEET MARSH PASS, Arit., Aug. 23. Navajo Indian's stories, of a prehis toric Indian dwelling on Black Mesa, a 3.400-square mile area In north eastern Arlwna, led this month to the recording and first survey of a thirteenth century ruin by aclentlsta of the Rainbow Bridge-Monument Valley expedition which la working thla aummer in territory centering In the Navajo Indian reservation. By following Navajo wagon trails rarely used by motor cars and then MitMnv acrniu a flat area covered with desert vegetation, an expedition fleet of three rora v-o amnui. ..arm. arrived at the foot of a 300- foot rise known to the Navajo as Kltsell, "the place of Broken pot tery." True to the lore of the In dians, thousands of fragments of Pueblo pottery covered the slopes up which the archaelogolsts climbed, at the crest thev found several walla of sandstone slab and mortar still standing, and at one place an entrance way 100 years old was seen. One wall reachea to a height of 13 feet. A three-story comunai oweuiug. the prehistoric forerunner of the annrtment. house. Is indicated by the structures visible. It Is be lieved that puemo nousea iritu.H .inn. . nortion of the way down from the crest, and scientists are also of the opinion tnat mere may be evidence of earlier cultures underlying tho rulna now visible. Pottery fragments examined by archaeologists place the ruin In the pueblo III era of the southwest s early cultures (from 1100 to 1300). Sherds .show an artistry In pottery work which la of the finest type found In the Monument valley region in Which the expedition la working. Dealgna are painted with great skill in varying color combinations. Other evidences of Kltaell habita tion centuries sgo included the skeie. tal remains of a human. P"1 the weather. It waa indicated that the body had been thrown In a cleft between high rocks not more than 7B feet from the nearest dwelling room. There waa also found on a stone of the outside wall a queer plctograph which archaeologists be lieve was a religious symbol. Knowledge of early eraa In the southweat points to the fact that dwelling sites such as Kltsell. of the pueblo n culture, were abandoned auddenly late In the 1200'a when a great drought atruck the area. Members of the Rainbow Bridge Monument valley expedition, now working throughout the Monument valley territory In a fleet of 14 Ford cars and truck", represent colleges and universities In all parts of the country. Prior to their aurvey of the Kltsell ruin, expedition surveyors and archaeologists msrte a two-dsy reconnalsance over the northwest portion of Black Meen. Numerous sites bearing evidence of ancient civ ilisation were mapped and recorded, as a part of the expedition's project of adding to the knowledge of the southwest of the past.
