a o e 54th Year Medford Price 10 Cents Tribune Third Section MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1959 Pages 1 to 12 IProce (DDassiffiicatoon off AutomobSfles As Used by Industry Are Misnomers Some Fish Found To Be Equipped Against Freezing Detroit - (UPD - The terms "iow-priced car" and "medium- priced car" are used in the auto industry today are misnomers. The auto industry still uses the term "low-priced car" in relation to the Chevrolet, Ford and Plymouth. It uses the term "medim-priced car" to describe the Dodge, Edsel, Mercury, Pontiac, De Soto, Oldsmobile and Buick These terms grew out of an era when cars could be sep arated into three fairly dis tinct groups as far as price and size were concerned: the low- priced car, the medium-priced car and the high-priced car. There was a certain amount of overlapping, but it was fair ly easy to peg any car in one of these three groups. Out of Reach ' At the top, and fairly well out of the reach of the aver age buyer, were the Lincoln, Cadillac, Chrysler and Pack ard. The bulk of the sales went to the Crevrolets, Fords, Ply mouths and, perhaps, Stude Cpakers. In between, in a distinct area, there was the Mercury, , Buick, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Dodge, De Soto, Hudson and Nasn. - The gap between the high priced group and the low priced group was so distinct only a person who suddenly came into great wealth could think of switching from a low priced car to a high-priced one, But today the main differ ence between the low-priced car and the top of the line is how many accessories are standard equipment. In 1949, the differenece be tween a Ford and a Lincoln, for example, went like this: More Leg Room The Lincoln was up to 23.2 inches longer, 14.3 inches wider, had two more inches of leg room and 2.5 inches more hip room. The difference between the power of the top rated Ford engine and the only engine offered in the Lin coln was 52 horsepower, 52 per cent more in the Lincoln than in the 100-horsepower Ford. Ten years later the differ ences were narrowed consid erably. The Ford grew 11.2 inches in overall length while the Lincoln added 7.1 inches. The Ford was 12.1 inches wider but the Lincoln spread out only 1,1 inch. The Lincoln added only 2.1 inches in leg room and one inch "in hip room. The difference in horse power between the two cars narrowed to 18.5 per cent. Because of the pressure from below, some of the so called medium priced .cars have already fallen by the wayside. ' The Nash and the Hudson are no longer produced. Ford is considering abandoning its attempt to push Edsel into the field by making it a small compact car. Dodge and Mer cury already have added smaller versions to compete more directly with the so called low-priced cars. Gener al Motors is expected to add Small Worlds Around Us By Lynn M. Watlcins Red Flannel ITndies' There .Was 'Something About It - j Grandfather was positive in his statement that, "No bait i in the world ' is better for catching bullheads than a gob of worms or a piece of balled up red flannel underwear." He should have been very wise in the way of the. wild things; he lived close to them all his life. But surprisingly enough, I have since discov ered his actual information was so cluttered up with v?hat someone else had told him that he refused to credit his own observations. He accepted too many "old wives tales" as gospel truth. Incongruous, that one of the things I remember best about my grandfather was the "red flannel underwear. It was such an Institution with him, it left an indelible imprint on me. He attributed his long life, freedom from sickness and retained buoyancy and trimness of figure to this viv id garment. Medicinal Qualities To grandfather and most of his contemporaries red flan nel underwear was more than garment that kept them warm in a blustery winter. It had medicinal qualities too He never tried to explain why this was but "there was just something about it that done magical things for the human body." As far as just warmth was concerned, he. conceded, "white, pink or baby-blue flannel" would have been as good but it had to be red in order to afford the necessary benefits. "Red," reasoned ffrandfather. was a "warm" rnlor but also it had ' that "little something that helped the bodv resist disease Grandmother shared his be lief, too, for she treated a sore throat with a strip of salt pork generously sprinkled with black pepper and held in place with a strip of red flan nel around the affected neck. -hMt congestion likewise nr9 treated with mutton-tal- low, bear or goose-grease, but always covered with a large piece of red flannel, -mere was just something about red flannel," she said. Tenacious Dye Just what tenacious dye was used back then to attain the redness of the cloth was no concern of grandmother, but whatever it was it was nearly indestructible, for after winter-long washing with strong soft-soap or even a compound containing lye the garments still retained much of their original color, even though they did look a little anemic. This faded, yet still visible red color was supposed to pos sess that peculiar something thatrattracted bull-heads to grandfather's . fishing 1 i n e. Neither he nor the bull-heads he pulled from the muddy waters of the little ponds and lakes, had then established the well known fact that these bottom dwelling fish with horns living in the dark mud, are colorblind or at best Diinaea Dy tne murky en vironment in which Nature ordained them to live; or per haps even then, grandfather was away ahead of his time, and there really was some thing besides warmth in red flannel underwear. (Released by The Register and Tribune Syndicate. 1959) Columbus Could 1 Have Tasted Beer New York (UPD Christo pher Columbus may' h a . e been the first European ever to taste American beer. The explorer's son, Her nando, disclosed this in an account of his father's ex plorations quoted in the his torical archives of the U.S. Brewer's Foundation. The son reported that Co lumbus, on a return voyage 10 years after he discovered America,-purchased from In dians on an island off Central America "a sort of wine made of maize (corn) resembling English beer." - Columbus liked it and bought several more jars as a treat for his crew, the son reported.

WU1 Settle Back Introduction of the economy cars by the "big three" this year has, in effect, left them with offerings priced below the cars which were once ap propriately called "low priced" models. Many auto industry sources feel the auto industry will set tle back into its old price cat egorization when all of the shifting caused by the econ omy car boom 'is over. They feel the., concepts of various cars will be shifted through the use of smaller versions such as those already coming out in the Mercury and Dodge lines. Once this shift is completed, the economy models like the Corvair, Falcon and Valiant will become the "low-priced" cars, the smaller versions of the current "medium-priced cars" and the current standard-sized "low-priced" cars will become the medium priced group, and all above that level will be known as the high-priced, or luxury, cars. Los Angeles (Science Serv- ice)-Some fish seem to have a built-in supply of anti-f reeze to keep them from freezing in cold weather. Discovery some years ago of an antifreeze-like substance in the blood of supercooled shallow-water fishes of Heb- ror Fjord in Labrador led a group of scientists to make an expedition to this fjord last March m hopes of find ing out more about what the substance actually was. A more recent discovery that some frost-hardy insects use glycerol in high concentra tions as an anti-freeze and supercooling facilitator also added to their curiosity. M. S. Gordon of the Uni versity of California here; B. H. Amdur of Harvard Uni versity, Cambridge, Mass., and P. F. , Scholander of Scripps Institution of Ocean ography, La Jolla, Calif., told the International Oceanogra phic Congress meeting in New There are 3,000 species of lizzards in the world. York of their findings in Heb ron Fjord. Below Freezing -- By fishing with hand lines through holes in the ice in six to 30 feet of water, they caught large numbers of two species of fish, the shorthorn sculpin and the fjord . cod. Both the temperature of the fish and that of ; the water were a few degrees Fahren heit below freezing. Once caught, the fish were taken to a heated laboratory where samples of drained blood were centrifuged. Ser um or plasma samples were frozen and anlayzed at home laboratories. : These tests showed that the amount 'of anti-freeze added to the blood of shallow-water fishes is variable.
