PLYMOUTH SAVES YOU MONEY ON GAS...
ILGAS ECONOMY RUN VICTORY PROVES IT!
New "Fuel-Saver" Choke that helped clinch
title is standard equipment on all Plymouth V-8s
Pound for pound, Plymouth uses less gasoline than either of the "other
two" cars in the low-price "3"! This was proved beyond doubt when a
1958 Plymouth V-8 was officially declared winner of the low-price car
competition in the 1958 Mobilgas Economy Run. Plymouth's competitors
also entered cars with 6-cylinder engines (supposedly more economical)
but Plymouth beat every car in its class V-8s and 6s alike!
This title-winning Plymouth 13 exactly the same Belvedere V-8 with
TorqueFlite Automatic Transmission that you can buy right off your
Plymouth dealer's floor.
These tests prove that every Plymouth has built-in economy features
not found in the "other two". For instance one of the most important
factors in Plymouth's smashing win is the new "Fuel-Saver" Choke that
you get at no extra cost on all Plymouth V-8s. This ingenious device
employs a triple-stage vacuum piston and a new thermostatic element to
reduce the amount of fuel you use in warming up the engine. So it can
save you even more on short-distance drives the kind most people make.
Among the many other savings Plymouth gives you is the $140 you
save on standard-equipment Torsion-Aire Ride. The "other two" charge
up to that much extra for their best suspension systems. And there are
dozens more economies, too!
So if you are dollar-conscious, better hustle over and talk terms and
trade with your Plymouth dealer. He's ready to give you a great deal!

News and Notes
From Camp White
By SID HOLLINGSWORTH
There is much complaint
among publishers today con
cerning the lost art of read
ing. Dr. Arthur Kreisman,
Southern Oregon college pro
fessor, has the key that may
unlock the door, to open an
entirely new vista through a
return to the great writings
of literature.
"Good literature is a key to
that Inner world needed to
obtain a clearer perception of
the outer world," he told a
group of doctors, nurses and
attendants confronted with
problems of therapy in geriat
rics, at the little seminar ar
ranged by the VA with the
SOC faculty.
Dr. Kreisman drew a dis
tinction between reading as
an escape and the more seri
ous type of reading which has
permanent value in condition
ing against reverting to mere
animal behavior. Radio,
movies and TV, based upon
popular trends, contribute lit
tle to the constructive use of
leisure time, he said.
A checkup at the library
shows that so far as the read
ing habit is concerned, there
is as great a demand for books
as at any time. Camp White
veterans, with time on their
hands, find books a suitable
means of occupying their leis
ure hours.
Their reading, however, is
not confined to any particu
lar interest, such as westerns
and mystery stories. With
drawals of the Erie Stanley
Gardner best seller detective
series, vary without rhyme or
reason. Zane Gray's "Adven
tures in Fishing" is as popu
lar as his fiction.
Steinbeck's "Grapes of
Wrath" has the edge as the
most read book in the cate
gory of current literature.
But an equal number of with
drawals was noted for Beard's
heavy tome on the "Rise of
American Civilization." Hem
ingway's "Men at War" was
read only casually.
' Among the classics, "Les
Miserables" by Victor Hugo
has been withdrawn eight
times in the past several
years, and as recently as Jan
uary this year. Tolstoy's "War
and Peace" in a fine edition
has remained on the shelf un
opened. But a brand new
book of seg. stories by the
master, Joseph Conrad, was
picked up and read as soon as
it was made available. Mel
ville's "Moby Dick" had read
ers on an .average of only
twice a year.
Turning to pure literary
masterpieces, a large volume
"This Is My Best," by all the
great American authors, is
being read "at home" eight
times a year, and "An Anthol
ogy of World Poetry" claims
an equal number of serious
readers.
A book by an obscure au
thor on "Hunting and Fishing
in Alaska" is as popular as
any. This, of course, is a nat
ural interest in the Rogue
valley. 0
In addition to library books,
many are brought in for read
ers by the Red Cross and the
service organizations. Each
building has a. little library
of its own in paper backs,
many of them recognized as
literature. It is planned even
tually to make one room in
each building available for
men who like to read in rela
tive quiet.

their problems.
Clifford Hyde is taking an
active part in the work of the

circulation, in addition to
loans from the Jackson coun

according to Enid A. Holmes,

their books, but twice a week

the benefit of the physically

Miss Holmes attended a

where new ideas in library
service were presented. Inter

and procedure was reviewed

A statement dealing with
the fundamentals of running a" railroad
You probably have heard or read a good deal lately about the troubles of
the railroad industry . . . regulative, competitive, legislative . . . and de
pressive. ' You can be helpful ... and we will be grateful ... if you will add your
voice to others who are asking for fair, non-political treatment of the rail
roads, such as is recommended in the report of the Senate Committee
headed by Senator Smathers. - , '
But in the meantime,..
We want you to know that Southern Pacific is doing its very best to help
itself.
We try to operate as a sound, going concern, in our own interest and in
yoursThis involves reducing operating costs. At times, and particularly
now, this requires severe economies.
We are also trying to get rid of those passenger trains that are little used,
serve no useful purpose, and cause huge out-of-pocket losses. We have just
discontinued one train that cost us $1,800 a day and brought in only $12 a
day in revenue. Such efforts bring criticism, but we think this policy is best
for shippers, and in the long run for travelers who actually use trains.
We are trying to adjust our freight rates so as to regain business that has
been lost and also act as an incentive fo develop new traffic. Some shippers
are pleased and sometimes others object.
It's easier to say 'Tfes" than it is to say "No." We'd like to please every
one but that just doesn't seem possible.
The best policy we think, and the one we try to follow, is
to bring the greatest good to the greatest number and at the
same time keep solvent.
' It should be obvious to regulatory commissions, and to thoughtful ship
pers and travelers, that a solvent railroad is much better able to serve its
territory well than a weak, money-losing one.
V , D. J. RUSSELL
President
We operate in large figures, but it is the relationship between
income and outgo that counts, whether a business is large or
small.
The same principles of carrying on a business apply whether
you are running a railroad or a peanut stand.
