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.

Prospect Service
Club Fells Tree In
Unique Fund Plan
Prospect The Prospect Li
ons club last week reported suc
cess on a unique project, which
they understood to raise funds
for the purchase of a public ad
dress system for community
events there.
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.

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. .

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
