SrEDFOFvD MAIL TRIBUNE. MED FORD. OREGON. SUNDAY, MAY 2fi. 1940. PAGE SEVEN STn i i mm s wr A OLDS FROM PLAN! Mrs. R. J. Donelson. 331 Ha ven treet, returned to Medford last week with new Oldsmo bile 70 business coupe, which he drove from the factory. Mr. Donelson, who was accompanied on the long trip by Mrs. J. C. Cook, 805 West Second street, averaged 20.6 miles per gallon of gas, according to Rook Emerson, owner of ttie Medford Garage and local Oldsmobile dealer. Mrs. Donelson reports that the Oldsmobile factory has been operating day and night since the introduction of the new hydra-matic drive. "Since this was my fourth trip over to the Oldsmobile plant." Mrs. Donelson said, "I should not get excited about It. but each time I go there the fac tory is larger and busier and there are big truck loads of new cars leaving every few minutes. "I had seen one of the 1940 Oldsrnobilcs which was equipped with the new hydra matic drive, but had never ex perienced the thrill of driving one. So the man in charge took me for a ride of a few blocks inside the plant to instruct me In the operation of the new fluid drive. Words cannot express the thrill of sitting behind the wheel of a new Olds hydra matic drive and starting out to learn first hand what a wonderful improve ment this is over all other cars manufactured today. "It is a real pleasure to drive in traffic with both hands free to operate the steering wheel and to stop and start by using only the foot break and foot throttle. "After leaving Lansing, we drove to Luddington and crossed Lake Michigan on the Pere Mar quette Ferry for Manitowoc. Wis. This was a very pleasant ride and a new experience for Mrs. Cook as it was her first trip on one of those large car ferries which operate the year arouhd. When it came time to drive our new car on to the ferry at Lud dington we learned that this was the first hydra matic drive any of the crew had driven aboard chip. "When we arrived home we found that we had driven 3150 miles and I can truthfully say that every mile I sat behind the wheel of that new car with its fluid drive was a real pleasure. "A new experience for me was to come up back of a log ging truck on Green Springs mountain and be compelled to follow it at one mile per hour with no gears to shifts" in i Ttfr naSlP' i ' 'I iii'V i in ii l "- ' v.w a 'HMSSl ... ... nt,.Jt' PpgnBSllM T I HEDY LAMARR AND HER NEW CAR.

In the lunch hour, the Won derland outdoor court, more at tractive than it was last year, was thronged by picnic parties.
