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.

Mental Health
Urged by Dr. Salk
Ann Arbor, Mich. (U.R) Dr.
Jonas E. Salk who developed the
Saik anti-polio vaccine, said
Tuesday night science should
now turn its efforts against
mental disease as the next ma
jor target of preventative medi
cine.
Dr. Salk made the recommen
dation in an interview with Ed
ward R. Murrow on the CBS
television program "See It Now."
Murrow conducted the interview
from New York. Dr. Salk was
in Ann Arbor where the an
nouncement was made Tuesday
of his successful accomplishment
in developing the polio vnccine.
"The area of mental disease
is one of the largest by far and
particularly desperately in need
of quantitative measures that
tell us precisely what we are
dealing with," Dr. Salk said.
Coal smoke may be a new
source of anhydrous ammonia
fertilizer. New methods have
been developed to extract this
additional chemical from coke
oven gases.

Hollywood (U.R) Progress
note: Television is beating
movies to the punch by signing
best-selling novels before they
wind up as films or play?.
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.

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."

FARMERS DON'T RECKON with real horsepower any more a tractor can do the
job better. 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.
