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."

FORD SALES CHIEF
AI PORTLAND MEET
A delegation of six Medford men
represented Medford at the Ford
meeting in Portland Tuesday when j
W. C. 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. "Pop" Gates and Oorge
Gates, heads of the C. E. Gates
Auto company; Hobart Price and
Claude Miles, sales representatives
of that firm, Jerry Day. 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.
I ord dealers all over the country
have shown large increases in used
car sales because of the R. 5e G.
