Ashcraft IDEAL HIGHWAYS DIVIDE TRAFFIC Divided highways, with center con struction entirely separating oppo site streams of traflc. Is the keynote of a road safety campaign which has been launched by several of the big automobile clubs of tne west. In a Joint statement recently Issued by the northern and southern Cali fornia automobile associations, It was urged that roads be made safe not only by separating the traffic flow but by building separated grades at major Intersections, by the elimina tion of curves, flattening of crests. railway crossing elimination, increas- sd use of reflector markings for traf fic lanes and the removal of adver tising structures from view-blocking locations. "Good roads are now hero and the time has arrived when we should turn to marking those roads," says Walter W. Abbey, Nash Lafayette dealer here, "Every possible safety factor must be provided. "Head-on collisions can be elimi nated if center safety strip construc tion is adopted. Greater cost of such highways may hold down the amount of rood building but the demands of safety must come first. "We are greatly pleased that the Nash factory is taking an active In terest In safer highways. Our engi neers have done everything In their power to make Nash LaPayette cars safe to drive, but they realize that a majority of the accident which occur are not the fault of the oar. The human element hasn't been eliminated from car operating, and probably never will be. Therefore, it is up to everyone concerned to make driving as fool-proof as pos sible, and improvement of existing highways Is one way of accomplish ing this end."

Cowling, director of sales lor the Ford Motor company, addressed I over 300 dealers and salesmen in the I Arabian room of the Hotel Mult-! nomah. The local delegation com prised C. E.

Lincoln- Zephyr representatives and Herb Grey, advertising manager of the Medford Mail Tribune. The meeting and banquet with Cowling's bril liant address climaxed a busy Fowl conference attended by dealers and salesmen from all sections of the stat and southern Washington. Cowling painted a glowing picture of business recovery to his audience. In proof he cited the fact that the Ford Motor company is Just closing the largest sales month In the thirty-three years it haa been in business. From his world-wide perspective, Cowling discussed the business out look frankly and intimately with the Ford dealers in a meeting Tues day noon. He pointed out the eco nomic significance of the fact that Ford car and truck sates are ap preciably ahead of last year because general business Is so widely Influ enced by the automobile industry. The Detroit authority demonstrated how business as a whole has been beneficially affected by the large volume of automobile sales. Cowling announced that Ford sales and production for the year to date are 38 percent ahead of the first quarter of last year. Ford produc tion up to April 20 was approxi mately 660,000 units of the new 1037 models. Production and sales for April are estimated as being 140,000 units. Ford factories are now producing about 7000 units a day. Cowling furthermore revealed the Interesting fact that the new model Ford "60" Is clicking with the pub lic. He stated that factory officials had estimated that the Ford "60" would total about 15 percent of tiie 1937 production. Demand, however, for the new model up until April 1 was running as percent. During this month, the "60" will run around 30.7 percent of total produc tion. A much brighter outlook for the used car market was voiced at the meeting. The guarantee of first class mechanical condltlun, more attrac tive used car displays and a larger potential market, were the principal factors credited for this optimism.
