(U.R) Flor ence Hudson helped pick the first commercial strawberry patch in this area and she's still at it 74 years later. Aunt Florence, as the spry Negro woman is known, is 84 but when strawberry season comes around each year she's right there in the fields. The most she ever picked in one day was 42 gallons. Aunt Florence is the only per son still living who helped pick the first crop in this area. Her pay then was 25 cents a day. "I guess I'll keep on picking strawberries until the good Lord says I done worked enough," she commented. Australia Depends on Overseas Paper Supply Canberra (U.R) Australia will continue to depend on over seas supplies for at least 40 per cent of her paper needs, unless her own pulp and paper industry can expand by 1960. The Ministry of National De velopment said the need for this expansion presents a challenge of national importance as pulp and paper represents one of the largest single items in Aus tralia's import bill. The government ,is exploring the possibility of using New Guinea timber for chemical pulping. But even with an in crease in production, Australia probably will have to import more than 100,000 tons of news print per year. Porcupines, contrary to popu lar belief, do not "shoot" their quills in self-defense. The no tion probably arises from the animal's habit of fighting back, when cornered, with lightning strokes of its dart-studded tail.

As you know, it puts you under absolutely no obligation. And it may save you literally hundreds of dollars we'll get to that a little further on. By a Test Drive we mean more than a once-around-the-block "spin." We want you to test the power that rocketed Ford to a 500-mile stock car record at Indian apolis . . . the GO that won the grand prize at NASCAR's Daytona Championships. We want you to feel how this Ford scat pays off in your kind of driving: in traflic, passing on the high way, getting going at traflic lights. We'll put either a Ford Six or a mighty Y-8 with up to 225 h.p. at your disposal. We want you to drive and listen drive and feel. That fine car quiet results from und insula tion under the hood, under the roof, in door and tiCK.lv panels the most insulation in any car at anywhere near Ford's low price. Some other things that contribute to that smooth, silent, luxury-car ride are things which Ford's leading competitor certainly can't boast: Ball-Joint suspension with wide base control arms for better steering, more stabilized wheel alignment shock absorbers that are mounted to the frame rather than the body. "Sure," you'll say as you drive along the road. "Feels pretty good but after all, this car is new." Well sir, when you come in from your drive we'll show you why Ford will stay like new for a long, long time. r We'll show you how Ford has five cross-members (including a "K" member) in its frame, lord's leading competitor only has two. We'll show you the deep-block Y-like engine design which enables Ford engines to take it. Now what vou've been waiting for. How can vou save hundreds of dollars by taking a Ford Test Drive? NOW! A FORD with AIR CONDITIONING costs less than many medium-priced cart without it. TRY ONE TOD A Y! ef tufgetud lM prices. Simply by proving to yourself that there really is a fine car in the low-price field. You see, the reason a Ford does not cost hun- dreds of dollars more than it does, is Ford's huge production and the huge volume which we Ford Dealers sell. j There are many cases where "medium-priced" cars claim to be priced within a few hundred dollars of Ford. Remember, however, these prices are usually arrived at by comparing their lowest priced models stripped with Ford's most ex pensive models that include all of the comforts of driving. But enough of this talk. Com in. And you do the driving and the talking. Bring the family, too. FORD goes first CRATER LAKE MOTORS MAIN AND FIR STREETS PHONE 3-4547 .
