Auto Collector Has 23 Types Of Ancient Cars Junction City. Kan. (U.R) If he felt so inclined, L. L. Lacer could drive a different automo bile every day for 23 days. Lacer collects unusual autos. Antiquity is a requisite: rarity is what he seeks. Lacer admits he has "quite a lot of money" involved in his cars but cant estimate how much. "It's a good investment." Lac er said. "These cars hold their value and even become more valuable through the years." Lacer has 17 of his 23 cars in a storage building, four are parked in his home garage and two are kept on his driveway. Each is in running order, and each gets a workout at inter vals. Regarding maintenance, Lacer said he's been lucky about parts. One of his cars, a German make, required a new headlight bulb. He wrote to the manufacturer and received the part in- two weeks. The maker would not accept payment. He sent the bulb as a gift for Lacer's appre ciation of his product. Since he was a teen-ager, Lac cer, now a 35-year-old railroad er, has had an intense interest in automobiles. His home here is filled with automotive litera ture and a collection of more than 100 scale-model cars. A "New" Graham Fortunately, his wife shares his interest. His five-year-old son, Mike, has cars on his mind, too, and can recognize every make known, American or for eign. One of the rarest items in La cer's collection is a four-passenger 1940 Bantam convertible se dan. It's valuable because only four of the models were manu factured. Another prize is a 1939 French Delahaye five-passenger con vertible, one of a few in ex istence. It has "knock-off" wire wheels and four-speed Cotel gears. Lacer has a 1935 Graham 8 sedan, which he describes as the "oldest new car to be found." Although 20 years old, it has been driven only 9,000 miles and has its original paint. A 1927 Dodge coupe also has seen little wear. Its mileage is 12,000. It has original paint and a leather interior. The fanciest auto he owns, Lacer said, is -a - 1952: Jaguar roadster. It represents an orig inal investment of $4,700 and has all sorts of special gadgets. Theylllo It Every Time wii : By Jimmy Hatltf MM ZoUJ fc fWEAUTTRESSIVEBEE)JTELLIHGjc5ETrr.l .

Television eats up stories re lentlessly, but producer Martin Manulis of CBS-TV's "Climax!' a live dramatic program, has discovered new territory in new books. For the first time in show business history, a best-seller, J. P. Marquand's "Sincerely, Wil lis Wayde," will be made into a television play before going to the movies and Broadway. Independent movie producer Henry Ginsberg bought the movie rights, but Marquand sold the story to TV on the theory it cculd be a story "test" for stars to watch. "Marquand thought the tele cast might interest a star in the film as it would show how the book could be successfully dramatized," Manulis explained "We don't think it will hurt the movie. The American pub lic is so used to seeing the same material in all media. They read a novel, see the play and go to the movie. The next new book Manulis hopes to trap is . "The Life of Laurette Taylor" which the late actress' daughters has barely finished writing. "Climax!" is trying to get away from its original formula of murder stories into a more general field. Last week it brought Claudette Colbert back to . her hit movie, "Private Worlds." The week before RDry Calhoun did "Champion," adapt ed, Manulis insists, from the ori ginal Ring Lardner story and not from the Kirk Douglas movie.

MARRIAGE LICENSE APPLICATIONS Bernie William Mueller, 23. of 2319 West Pacific Highway. Spokane. Wash., and Carolvn Ruth Shangle, 21. of 1445 Kings Highway. Medford. For future programs Ernest Hemingway's "Farewell to Arms is already set, a major victory on the battlefield on TV producers grabbing for stories. Stars are anxious now to ap pear on such live dramatic shows as "Climax!" In fact, actors are beating on Manulis' door for the "Sincerely, Willis Wayde" tele cast because the thespian who wins that role would be first in line for the movie. The producer thinks live TV dramas are here to stay, despite inroads by Hollywood filmed stories for TV. "The filmed shows are shot quickly and you just don't get vitality in them," he says. "Act- tors act better in live shows. The best in them just doesn't rise in a filmed show. "And I don't think audiences mind the fluffs on live dramas It gives them the feeling they're getting in on something when a stage hand wanders by."

Today's farm is an open-air factory with a specialized machine for every task. And America's mechanized farming produces more food . . . and better food . . . than any other country in the world. But to mass produce the millions of tractors, plows, combines, pickers,, cultivators that are found on modern farms, manufacturers must be able to sell them by the millions. Only by advertising can a manufacturer talk to millions of farmers at the same time.. ADVERTISING TELLS the story of new farm machinery and equipment and helps sell it. The more it sells, the more must be made keeping the production lines and the jobs going. The result: newer, better farm machinery at prices more farmers can afford to pay. Advertising helped make the differenca in farming, and in our Amer ican way of life. Medford Mail Tribune
