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

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.

The Associated Farmers, agri

clashed repeatedly with labor

program of nation-wide expan

to their home from the annual
two-day state convention.
Formation of a national as

was the second big expansion
move made by the nucleus or

first was promotion of the
