SFEflFORP MAfL- TRIBtiE. rEDFftRT)! flRFiftOX. SfyD'AY, SEPTEMBER i 1S37, STRESSED LOCAL GOODYEAR TESTS Resident Of Medford last FrU dtjr wttsesHd on of the mast startl ing gtmonstrailons of highway safe ty it has ever bean their privilege to when tirw were purposely btovTJ out on ram cravrllng at mgr. speed. Instead of a bad accident Bfithln happened. The demonstration arrauged by C. 6. Furnas. local dealer el the Good year Tlra Hiad Rubber ednipin eorw ciuiiveiy proved thai blowout acoi dnta at high speed need not re sult in accident, but that when the ear li equipped with Goodyear Life Guard tubes, the driver csq bring the ear to a safe stop, without even. swerve. To causa tha biawauts, the ear was fun over a plate studed with huge railway nplKffl. Dye a it3 caps, con trolled from Inside the car (without the rirlvpr knowing when the D low out were coming) ripped casltiga wide &ps&. caused blsweuta wiat would In all probability have f suited in serious accident witn or dinary tubes. The LlfeGuard tube is an In genious arrangement, a tire within s tube, which prevents all of the air escaping when a blowout oc curs. According to hundreds of un solicited tefttmonial letters received at Gqodyear's main office In Ahron, 01lo,the LlfeGuard tube la credited with preventing hundreds of acci dents following blowouts at high speed, eliminated damage to cars and their occupants. , The tube has ben hailed by heads ef police and fire departments and .safety officials as being one of the greatest contributions to highway safety in a decade, according to Mr. Furnas. ' Miraculous push-button "electric tunlng," armchair control, "beauty tone" cabinets, "overseas," "sunburst" and "straight-line" radio dials that greatly simplify tuning and in some sets actually make tuning of fore 1 en stations as easy as tuning domestic progrsms, are only a few of the many amazing features Incorporated In a complete new series of RCA Victor radio sets which have arrived In this city and are now on display at the Feldman Electric, exclusive local dealer. No less than thirty-nine new radio Instruments of every conceivable type, designed to fit every purse and pur pose, have been introduced by RCA Victor this year. They include 17 different AC-operated table and con sole models in & wide variety of de signs and scientifically built cabi nets. These range from five-tube economy models to de luxe 18 -tube Instrument which Incorporate every convenience and performance festure which Ingenious radio engineers have been able to devise. Perhaps the most spectacular fea ture in the new RCA Vivtor Instru ments, according to Mr. Feldman, Is push-button electric tuning and arm chair control. "Simply push a but ton and there's your station," he said. "It's as easy as that, and there is no catch to It, There are eight of these buttons. Each of them can be pre-aet to different radio stations and these stations precisely tuned In by merely pressing the button. It's so foolproof that a child cannot hurt the mechanism by tinkering with the push buttons or dials. A remarkable new engineering development called automatic frequency control Is re sponsible for the miraculous new electric tuning feature. Reduced to Its simplest terms., this maens that In automatic operation the radio cir cuit will actually adjust Itself to compensate for any variation In the mechanical system so that the sta tion Is precisely turned to Its most An Open Letter to a Hit-And-Run Driver ELL, you got away with it, So far, anyway, Of eourne. you're still a hit nervous. You are startled by doorbells ; your palm sweats when you pick up the mominff paper; your mouth gets dry when a stranger senms tn stnro at you. For there is just a possibility that some chance passer-by saw you. But your pulse is beginning to behave again. Each passing day brings added safety. If it will make you feel any better, you may never be caught. But, my craven fellow, you'll never escape yourself! You'll never escape the shame of having killed a child and run away. You'll never escape the aching, burning memory that, faced with the test, you preferred cowardice to courage. You will live the rest of your days bluffing yourself into believing that you didn't have time to think (although life's crises are not scheduled for men's convenience) ; that any body else would have done the same thing (although you don't dare tell anybody else) ; and that it wasn't murder, but just an accident (as though people hid themselves after acci dents). The days will be trying, but not so bad compared with the nights, when you lie awake with your conscience and when, having fallen asleep at last, dreams steal into your tired brain to reenact that scene of secret shame. Yes, the nights will be hard. A thousand, times you will wish to release that pent-up shame, to scream : "I killed a child and ran away !" It would make you feel better, but you won't do it. Listen: You didn't get away with a thing! And you know it!

Once adjusted to the stations you want you can always get them back, precisely tuned, every time thereafter . by merely pressing the button." On some of the new RCA Vivtor electric tuning radios there is a mar velously simplified "overseas" dial which spreeda out the popular for eign and shortwave tuning bands so that they occupy almost fifty times es much space as ordinarily. As a result, tuning foreign stations is now actually as simple as tuning in favor ite domestic stations. HAIRY VETCH CUT WASHINGTON, Sept. ll..(XVOov ernment economlAts anticipated to day a reduced production of hairy vetch seed this aeaaon because of poorer harvest prospects In the Wil lamette valley of Oregon, principal producing region. They reported the valley probably would produce between 5.000.000 and 8.000,000 pounds, or a.000,000 to 8, 000.000 pounds less than August 1 reports Indicated. Better yields In Michigan were expected to Increase the state's output by half. Bureau of agricultural economics records showed thla country Import ed 9,073,000 pounds of the seed In July and 1,848.000 pounds In August. The report said the production of hairy-vetch seed In Hungary, chief Import source, Is expected to be less then In 1938. $23 AGE PENSION IS t DBS MOINES, la., Sept. 11.
