Lincoln Among Quietest Cars One of the quietest running automobiles on the American highway is the 1959 Lincoln, which uses specially designed equipment tested by Lincoln engineers. Medford Motors, 225 South Riverside- ave., reports that two basic aims of unitized construction in the Lincoln and Continental are strength and silence. Strength lies in the integrated body and frame, made of one massive piece of welded steel components; si lence is based on vibration and noise tests made of each metal body component. While the "body-in-white" is tuned properly to eliminate bothersome noises, the engine is made to rest quietly on large rubber mounts. A va riety of sound deadeners and heat insulation are applied in side the cars. New Conditioning Used in Cadillacs A new method of air con ditioning, distributing cool air throughout the entire car, is offered in the 1959 Cadillac.

' MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Friday, April 10, 13 Development of New Electric Motor in American Corp. Plan Detroit-A joint long-range development project to ex plore the possibilities of a rev olutionary electric automo bile has been announced by George Romney, president of American Motors corporation, and Irving I. Schachtel, presi dent of Sonotone corporation, Elmsford, N.Y., electronics firm. "If this project is success ful, it could open up a whole new area of automove pow er," Romney said. At present, the chief draw back of electric automobiles is the need for recharging the batteries after less than 100 miles of travel. Aim of the new AM-Sonotone project, is to develop an electrical pow erplant which would be con stantly recharged during oper ation by a generator operated by a small high-performance engine. Similar experimental powerplants tried in the past have failed because of exces sive battery size and weight capacity and short life. The "heart" of the vehicle project will be a sintered- plate, nickel - cadmium bat tery, first produced in the United States by Sonotone, is smaller and lighter than the conventional batteries of com parable energy output. While it costs substantially more to produce, Schachtel said, it can withstand great overloads or surges of power and can be recharged in a ' fraction of the time of con ventional batteries. It has a long life and the original bat tery is expected to last the life of an electric auto, he added. Under the joint project, re search work will take place at plants of both American Motors and Sonotone. Decide on Project Romney cautioned that the program, which could take several years, might not re sult in a vehicle which would prove feasible and economi cal, but "we decided to launch this development project to see if a more efficient auto mobile might result."

Most families are not aware how inflation has watered down the value of the policies they now have. Too many take for granted that having "some insurance" or work men's compensation is all the protection they need. - It is a tragic fact that today only 1 family in 10 is financially protected against the ruinous costs of lingering illness or serious accident. Too many people risk going along with what they have because they assume that rising costs have priced adequate cover age beyond their reach. But now Allstate's Accident and Sickness Insurance helps you solve these problems at a cost you can afford.
