Hance - H. Cleland. recently
elected president of the San
Diego Gas It Electric company,
San Diego, Cal., was here today
to say goodbye to friends and
former associates of the Califor
nia Oregon Power company.
It was his first visit here since
his election to head the southern
California utility company Aug.
25. He was in the south at the
time and the election came aa a
complete surprise to most of his
associates in the Copco organi
ration of which he was presi
dent when he was chosen as the
new head of the San Diego com
pany. Mr. Cleland's family
moved to San Diego a few days
ago.
A meeting of utility execu
tives In San Francisco enabled
Mr. Cleland to come to Medford
to say farewell to his friends
and associates. He arrived from
San Diego last evening by Unit
ed Mainliner and planned to
leave for San Francisco tonight.
So busy is Mr. Cleland in his
new duties that he will be able
to spend only one day at the
San Francisco conference. His
company is engaged in a gigan
tic expansion program to cope
with the defense work that has
multiplied the population of
San Diego and surrounding ter
ritory. Nevertheless he said he
wanted to take time out to come
here to say goodbye to his
friends and associates. He de
clared he would always have a
warm spot in his heart for
southern Oregon and its people.

few months after it was placed
In full production."
He said that the car was all
welded, and built on the 'mono-
coque' construction principle that
is giving greater strength and
greater range to big bombers.
Its gasoline economy of 25 to
30 miles per gallon gives the
car especial significance today,
he said.
He said that after the con

go to Kenosha, Wis., where Nash
cars have been built for 25
years, to participate in a mass
