Dodge & Plymouth 101 Wt'i.t Jackson ar Fir New Service Manager Named at Clauss Firm Bert Davis, former manager of his own garage in the mid west, has been named service manager at Claus motors, it was announced last week. From 1937 to 1941 he was an associate Nash dealer in Chicago. During World war II, Davis was senior automotive inspector and instructor at the Army's 6th service command motor pool. Before coming here he managed a large garage in the midwest, where he took advanced train ing In automatic transmissions, particularly in hydramatic, now featured in many Nash cars. New-Type Monorail May Revolutionize Railroad Industry Mexico City (U.R) Axel Wen- n e r-G r e n, multi - millionaire Swedish industrialist whose' busi ness interests have ranged from munitions to milk pasteurization has invested In a nSw-type mon orail train which he says "could eventually revolutionize the rail industry." . Wenner-Gren pointed out, how ever, that the innovation is pure ly a long-range scheme, which if proved successful might take years of additional planning and construction. The monorail-design train is in final engineering stages at a pri vate plant in Cologne, Germany. A model of the ultra-modern streamliner, capable of attaining speeds as high as 20 miles per hour may be pre-viewed after tests expected in June or July. Until then, detailed aspects of construction and design will be kept under wraps. Radically Different The industrialist said the new model "is radically different" from existing trains and is an improved version of the "rail plane" of John Hastings of New York. Hastings is one of several persons reported to be working with Wenner-Gren on the pres ent project. The train is designed to run on double-flanged wheels mount ed on a single rail. It will be propelled by high-powered elec trical units. . Construction costs would be high, but Wenner-Gren envision ed the train, if perfected, as "fast, safe and cheap." high speeds and low operating costs would be main advantages of the monorail train. Safety would be another sell ing point. . Wenner-Gren .said, since the train would be elevated and mainly controlled by elec tronic devices. Wenner-Gren, who lives in Mexico City part-time, has large business investments in the coun try, -including milk pasteuriza tion plants, and silver and furni ture factories. He is also princi pal stockholder of the Mexican Telephone company. Dead line on Classified Ads: 8:30 p.m. for following day: 10 am.

The project was the buying of a fully matured Ponderosa pine tree from the forest service, fell ing it, bucking it, and selling it to a mill. The idea originated with How ard Chriswell, former president of the club who recently was transferred to the northern part of the state. All the plans were laid before he left, and the work was done last Sunday. Scales 6,900 Feet The tree, originally estimated at 6,000 board feet, actually scal ed out at 6,900 feet. It was pur chased for $200 for the forest service, and sold for $520.50 to the Ross Lumber company, which paid No. 2 peeler price for the tree. A number of the club's 45 members participated in the pro ject, including Eugene Burril, who furnished both equipment and trained loggers for the pro ject. Other members working on the job were Willard Huffman, feller, and Dick Henthorne, Emory Nye, Wayne Downing, Harry Good, Paul Pearson, club president, and Jack Hollenbeak. A committee is now engaged in purchasing the sound equip ment, which will be available for a variety of community ac tivities in Prospect. pyrrol NT - Flagstone Fireplace Equip.

Way Being Cleared For Re-Developmen Chicago (U.R) The way is be ing cleared for more cities to start urban re-development pro grams, according to the National Association of Housing Officials. A growing number of state courts are upholding the consti tutionality of urban re-development laws under which cities condemn slum or blighted areas and sell the land to private de velopment agencies. The association reports that of four state supreme, court deci sions handed down on such laws in the last year( three were fav orable. That brings to seven the num ber of states in which supreme courts have upheld the laws. Meanwhile, test cases are pend ing in five others Illinois, Ohio, Rhode Island, Florida and Min nesota. Michigan's, supreme court was the most recent to approve the participation of cities in urban redevelopment. The court upheld the power of Detroit to condemn slum property and sell it to pri vate builders. Last year Tennessee's high court upheld on all counts the constitutionality of legislation empowering Tennessee housing authorities to condemn slum areas and, after clearance, to sell or lease them to private re-developers. Other states where such laws have been upheld by the courts include Pennsylvania, New Jer sey, Alabama, New York and Illinois. In Illinois, further court tests are pending, however. .

Sunday, June 8, 1952 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE NINE Comparatively New Painting Technique Helping Veterans Los Angeles (U.R) A compar atively new art, cloissonal paint ing, is helping many hospital ized war veterans and other pa tients to regain the use of atro phied muscles. Cloissonal painting was invent ed by Vera Arnold, a University of Southern California instructor and is a required course of study in the school s occupational therapy department. It requires only a few ordinary tools, including a ball peen ham mer, pliers, diagonal cutters and a few pieces of emery paper, but its value to semi-paralyzed pa tients is great The basis of the art is a soft, clay-like pan, plastl-glaze, which comes in colors and hardens quickly to a stone-like finish without firing. Sketch Made First First a sketch is made on a variety of materials, such as leather, glass, scrap metal, pa piermache, copper or silver. Then small wires are cut and shaped to fit the contour of the lines and fastened to the mate rial. - The spaces are filled In with plastl-glaze and built up to the thickness of the wire. After the plastl-glaze dries, the finished piece is sanded to the smooth ness of the glass. Prof. Margaret Rood, head of USC's department of occupation al therapy, said the new art Is helping patients to learn co-or dination and strengthening of their weakened muscles, as well as giving new Incentives to many bed-ridden persons. Many veterans who would shy at painting are attracted to clois sonal art because It Involves tools, she said. While they work RUG TELLS STORY Alto, Mich.
