MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON. SUNDAY. DECEMBER 10. 1939. PAGE SEVEN IRE VALUE THAN The values offered the Ameri can public by the automobile In dustry in the 1940 models sur pass the fondest hopes of car owners in the United States. The feeling of the public generally was that the comfort, economy, safety, and appearance of 1939 model cars was all that would be developed for some time. When the 1940 models were in troduced they realized that even greater values were offered them, and in many cases at re duced prices. Improved body lines with more efficient streamlined de sign, more luxury and comfort, greater economy, all combined with numerous safety improve ments, typified the 1940 models on display. Among the manufacturers making improvements in their current models is Nash with the new steering system that holds the car on its course even on the roughest roads, according to Walter W. Abbey, local Nash dealer. Advances in the already tried and proven safety and com fort feature, the Nash "Weath er Eye", make winter driving safer and more comfortable. Ad ding to the comfort of the 1940 model is the new improved front-wheel suspension system of Nash, which, combined with unique synchronization between front and rear springs and giant shock absorbers, makes even the poorest roads seem smooth. "That the 1940 models have pleased the American public is quickly seen , said W. A. Blees, general sales manager for Nash Motors Division of the Nash-Kel-vinator Corporation, "by a re view of the sales for the cur rent model season. "The automobile business of the country has shown a steady upturn," said Mr. Blees. "Every Indication, from factors at our 'Autobrella' Handy New Accessory l . - v tf ... i ass br u jti. Hi us Always useful, the once prosaic umbrella has become a modern fashion accessory, with the advent of the Autobrella. The ingenious and practical article is carried in its metal sheath on the right side of the driver's compartment, just forward of the door. Miss Yvonne Gillespie seems pleased at discovering the need of hers, as she steps from her new Chevrolet. command, is that sales of cars in this model-year will exceed 1938 by a good margin. Sales of Nash cars, which have shattered rec ords practically ever since the introduction of the 1940 models, climbed to even greater heights during the first twenty days of November, when they more than tripled those of the same period a year ago. Round-Up Aide Hurt. LaGrande, Ore., Dec. 9. (IP) William Switzler, 61, of Pen dleton, president of the Pendle ton Roundup association,' was injured in an automobile acci dent on the Old Oregon Trail highway near Meacham last night. IN GREAI HURRY Salem. Dec. 9. (IP) Victor Hasson, 712 Southwest Salmon street, Portland, became the first 1940 Oregon election can didate to declare himself offi cially when he filed with the secretary of state today for the Democratic nomination for state senator from the 13th district, Multnomah county. His platform pledged sup port of President Roosevelt's policies. WHEAT PROSPECTS FINLAND HOPEFUL FARMERS PREPARE FOR 1940 WORST IN MANY A DAY Chicago, Dec. 9. (IP) The poorest wheat crop prospect In years in the western hemis phere, where most of the world's surplus grain is produced, to day promised to relieve the glut of international supplies in 1940. Preliminary estimates indi cate that the Argentine and Uni ted States surpluses may be re duced more than 100,000,000 bushels within the next year. Some grain interests believe the peak of large world wheat stocks will have been passed by mid-1940 when carryover may reach an all-time record of 1, 400.000,000 bushels. Government figures indicate 1939-40 world wheat production may total 4.287,000,000 bushels, about 300,000,000 below the record crop of tle previous season. Since these figures were com piled, however, reports of ser ious reductions in crop possibili ties in Argentina, coupled with the drought in the American southwest and sub-normal mois ture conditions over much of the spring wheat areas of the Uni ted States and Canada, have caused some traders to believe world figures should be lower. Even so, because of increased carryover stocks, prospective world supplies for the 1939-40 season are estimated at about 290,000,000 bushels more than for the preceding year. Toronto, Dec. 9. (Canadian Press) Finnish soldiers and civilians are singing a new patriotic song to which the English translation would be "Roosevelt is a very good man and he is coming to help us," Leonard Siponen, 35-year-old Finnish Canadian, said yester day on his return from Finland. The Toronto bottle worker who went to Finland to bring his daughter home, said the Finns are fighting against hope less odds, convinced that if they can hold off the Russians until spring, active help will come from the United States. - If help fails to arrive, his Jiomeland will be crushed be yond hope of restoration, he added. Crosby Will Back Gonzaga Bowl Trip Hollywood, Dec. 9. (P) Singer Bing Crosby said today he had agreed to sponsor his alma mater, Gonzaga, in a pro posed trip to Denver to play in a "celery bowl" game New Year's day. wienyou do it YOU'LL SEE BLACK MAGIC in a long, blue, beautiful car today.

(IP) The Associated Farmers, agri cultural association which has clashed repeatedly with labor .unions in California, began a program of nation-wide expan sion today as delegates dispersed to their home from the annual two-day state convention. Formation of a national as sociation, outlined last night, was the second big expansion move made by the nucleus or ganization in California. The first was promotion of the Associated Farmers of the Pa cific Coast, already a going concern, which held its own brief convention after yester day's close of the California conference. H. L. Shoemaker of Hood River, Ore., president of the Pacific coast group, said its membership would be enlarged from its present three members the three presidents of the state groups in California, Washington and Oregon to nine, and announced a meeting of this group in San Francisco within the next 30 days. Benjamin F. Smith of Kent, Wash., probably would take over the coast presidency at that time, Shoemaker said, while he became vice-president and John Watson, Petaluma, Calif., secretary.
