The ride, sponsored by Montgomery Ward & Co., is using two taxicabs to dramatize the long tread-wenr Ward's Riverside tires will provide in cross country driving during the hottest months of the year. Each cab will call on one Ward store a day except Sundays as llicy follow a 40,000 mile itinerary across the United States. They will arrive in Medford Thursday, August 16, at the local Montgomery Ward re tail slore at 117 S. Central. Riverside tires for the ride were selected by the observers and the drivers at ran dom from regular stocks in one of Ward's stores chosen by them in the Detroit area. Serial numbers of tires wore recorded by White and Shepherd. Trademarks and treads were photographed and tread depth measurements were re corded at the start of the ride in Detroit. Frequent measurements will be made during the course of the store-by-stnre tour.

But recently attractive Lena Campbell has joined the sales staff of Dean & Taylor Pontiac, on South Pacific highway 99, and has thus invaded a heretofore exclusive male do main. Lena Car-.p?el, who came to the Ro.'.ue River Valley eight years ago from Texas, is, not new in the sales field.

"Rather it has now become a new kind of status symbol." Speaking to the Chamber of Commerce Roudtable lunch eon, Hugh Rogers said that American consumers continue to increase their debts every year. Referring lo figures con tained in a recent issue of "Credit World," a financial trade publication, Rogers said that as of April 30, 1962 the current consumer debt to talled $56,650,000,000, an in crease of $2,900,000,000 over the same month last year. Of the total consumer debt, the speaker pointed out, $18 billion is for auto loans, $13 billion is for personal loans, $4 billion is for repair and modernization work, $14 bil liion is for non-installment purchases, and $7.5 billion covers all other kinds. Defined Credit Rogers defined credit as the medium by which we move the finished product to the consumer. "If it were not for credit," he said, "most American peo ple would be unable to afford a car, a home, a television set, or most major appliances." The speaker ran through a list of items that people pur chase on credit: 98 per cent of Ihe homes, 95 per cent of the autos, 87 per cent of the home appliances, 83 per cent of the furniture, 57 per cent of the wearing apparel, and 43 per cent of all groceries consumed in the country. The condition moved a na tional magazine to stale re cently, Rogers recalled, that "never had so many owed so much to so many for such a wide variety of things." While the ability lo buy things on credit seems to act like heroin to some, the speaker said, the great major ity of Americans handle it well. Blond all ingredients in Ihe order given and shake well in a covered tar. This gives you about 2'a cups of sauce. Add about half a cup lo Ihe ground meal during mixing, and let it stand in the refrigerator for a couple of hours if possible Then broil or pan try as desired. At the table you can add more sauce, either hot or cold.

Schwensen Third Man in Death Row Salem - iVPI' - Richard Schwensen, 27. Monday be came Ihe third man- in Ihe Stale Penitentiary's death row. Schwensen was brought here Monday. He was con victed in Portland of the slay ing last September of Mrs. Jean Hosaria Bussey, 211. whose body was found in her parked car. No dale for Schwensen's execution will be set until alter the Stale Supreme Court hears an automatic appeal of his conviction. Also on death row are l.e lloy Sanford McGahucy, who is scheduled to die early next Monday for the slaying of a 2 year-old boy In Central Point, and l.any West Ship ley, convicted in the killing of a young girl near Otis Junction. Also under sentence lo die and being held in the womoiis section of Ihe prison is Jean nace June Freeman, coin ieted in Ihe slaying of one of two children whose bodies were thrown into the Crooked River Gorge j Oregon has not had an ex ecution since 1953. I Only 1.8 per cent of all car loans become delinquent, Rog ers said, and only about 4 out of every 1,000 mortgaged homes get foreclosed. This is consistent wilh the general meaning of the word, which is "man's trust in man," and with the Latin root of the word-credo, which means "I believe," the speaker said. The future of credit In this country, according to most ex perts, is bright, Rogers noted. Periodic "slowdowns" are pre dicted lo occur from time to time, but the general trend is expected to continue upwards. A pronounced jump is antic ipated about 1965, the speak er said. That is the year the war babies will reach their "credit-eager" age. Coos-Curry Power Project Proposed Washington -'l?H- The Fed eral Power Commission said today the Coos-Curry Electric Cooperative Inc., Coquillc, Ore., has filed an application for a preliminary permit to build a hydroelectric project in the Siskiyou National For est. The proposed Buzzard's Roost project would consist of a dam and an underground powerhouse with an estimated generating capacity of 200.000 kilowatts. It would be located on the Illinois river in Curry and Josephine counties, about 4' 2 miles upstream from the confluence of the Illinois and Rogue rivers. A smaller dam V.2 miles downstream would regulate the flow released from the powerhouse and provide facil ities for handling fish. A preliminary permit does not authorize construction, but gives the holder priority of application for an FPC li cense while the holder studies the feasibility of the project. 772-6128 Phone -w s a.w for Fly United to Portland for jet service to Chicago and the East Morning and evening flights from Medford connect in Portland with United jets nonstop to Chicago.
