With a front wheel in the fur

nudge Ford's Hydraulic Touch
Control lever to lift the plow
out of the ground. You adjust
plowing depth on the go with
the same lever.
On tough plowing jobs you'll
appreciate Ford's new Tailored

traction increases automatically
on heavy pulls. And now, new
easy-on, easy-off wheel weights
are available to give you still
more traction.

Street Flags for
City Plan of Elks,
American Legion
Medford Post " 15, American
Legion, announced plans recent
ly to cooperate with the Elks
Lodge to make street flags avail
able to all local business houses
and office buildings.
Bud Fisher, commander of the
post, said a bracket attached to
parking meters will overcome
the major difficulty in placing
street flags in the past. Under
the old method, staffs were fixed
in the curb too close to the street
and were often broken by car
bumpers and doors.
Flag, staff, and meter bracket
will be offered to merchants for
$12. Those ,w h o already have
flags may obtain the meter brack
ets from the Legion. Representa
tives of Post 15 will call on
merchants for their orders in
few days, Fisher stated.
The post commander appoint
ed Ray Huson, Jack Crawford,
Gene Orr, Clark Walker, and
H. U. Mitchell the committee to
organize flag distribution.
Mayor Earl Miller commended
the Legion and Elks lodge on
their activity, urging all mer
chants to participate in the flag
program.
