MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, SUNDAY, MAY 8, 1938 PAGE SEVEN To facilitate traffic movement on Main street at the Central and Riverside- avenue Intersections, where ap proach lanes have recently been re f painted, the engineering and accident-prevention committee of the Medford Traffic Safety council calls attention to several simple rules which should be followed. Cars traveling straight through on Main street or preparing to turn right should use, the extreme right-hand lane, leaving the lane nearest the center of the street for machine pre paring to turn left. In the case of the Main street and Central avenue intersection, straight through and right-turning traffic will ' thus be able to proceed -Immediately after being given the green light, without being held up by left-turning cars. At the same time, cars making left turns from the lane next to the cen ter of the street will be able to pro ceed when a break in through traffic occurs. just remember, the committee points out, to keep to the extreme right-hand lane at Intersections, ex cept when preparing to turn left, - - Lewis Sttper Shows New Model Fordson Nearly one million Fordson tractors have been bought by farmers for ev ery farm Job. according to C. O. Wheelock. of the Lewis Super Serv ice Station, local Fordson dealer. The newest Fordson tractor, with many new improvements Is now on dis play at the Lewis Super Service sta tion. Mr. Wheelock says: "Improvements that have come out of actual experience on the farm have been Incorporated In the new models. The new Fordson Is enough tractor lor any farmer. It Is light enough for light work and heavy enough for heavy work. "The new worm steering In the ' 1038 Fordson makes this tractor han dle as easy as a motor car on a paved street. It Isn't necessary to tug and haul at the wheel and this new Ford son will turn on the proverbial dime. The quick starting, oil economy, com fort and strength of the Fordson is already well known, .Fordsons choice of either a gasoline carburetor or a i fuel oil vaporizer Is another very 1m p portant Improvement that has been retained In the new models." 7th Son of 7th of 7th WORCESTER.

A Lesson in Physics For Drivers A new' word, "turnability," has been coined by The Travel era Insurance Company in en ef fort to picture for drivers just what happens in the higher brackets of speed. A page of the company's new highway safety booklet entitled "Death Begins at 40" is headed "A Lesson m Physics for Drivers" and makes use of this term for the first time. "The first law of motion." the booklet states, "is that a mov- lng body tends to continue In uni form motion in a straight line. The energy of a moving body is in proportion to the square of its speed. "At 25 miles an hour, how ever, you can make a fairly sharp turn. At 50 miles an hour, you can make only one-fourth as sharp a turn as you could make at 25. This explains many acci dents In turning and passing at higher speeds. "And at 75 miles an hour, the HYSTERIA BLAMED FOR 100 FAINTING WILMINGTON, N. 0.. May T. P Health authorities attributed today the fainting of more than 100 high school students following an R. O.
