MEDFORD MAIL TRlMiNE. MEDKOltD, UKKUON WEDNESDAY) OCTOBER 2, IMS Regional Roundup by Cleve Twitched Mail Tribune Regional Editor People do interesting things for a hobby. William "Ben" Walch, who lives up at Indit l4e. just got an idea one day about two years ago, and as rlt h and Bill Edmondson of Butte Falls built a.repiica & la twly steam engine automobile. Walch built the chaiit mi biaiy, Edmondson th power plant. The car is not an exact replica ri any piiitlj M, just a copy of early automobiles dene froM photo in lbut old time.st'am cars. "It' a tVo-inch bore. two-inch stroke, two-intli ctImkJit iVwiWe acting steam engineer, operjting en steam pressure i1 1T KKtoM ill ii.-i.LdiiaKJ& 5' i i r of 400 pounds per square inch. Walch said. The car runs on white gasoline and will do :iO miles per hour, although it takes 10 minutes to get up steam from a cold start. The car. a three-fourths size replica (weighs 000 pounds), will hold three gallons of gasoline and 15 gallons of water. Ualch hasn't checked the mileage he gets, but the original steam engine cars used to require a gallon of water a mile, he said. The car will travel 15 to 20 miles on a gallon of gaso line, however. Walch fashioned most of the parts (or the car from raw materials. He did make use of a few old Model T parts, but he had to alter them somewhat. "This car has something the originals didn't," he noted, "two forward speeds and two backward.'' Since the completion of the car last spring, Walch has gotten into the swing of old-rime car festivals. He doesn't drive the car to them, however. He carts it in a trailer.

I Wins bMMMlakni Vehrs went on to say that h thought the college's dinin hull had won the confidence and en- county for recreation develop- thusiasm of most of the studtnts and explained what he thought were the essential ingredients for a successful program. "We're the only school in the state system which offers sec onds on everything, and we're also the only school that offers a choice of entree, salad and dessert." Vehrs said, listing one such ingredient. He said he considered it im portant to offer a choice so that the student does not feel he is being dictated to. Maintaining standardized re cipes that the students have in dicated they like and which also fit the budget was another tao tor in the program, thought. j Over 100 Employees The dormitory and dining hall operation is handled by 13 cooks, 86 student employees and 23 civil service employees. Pay roll costs run in excess of S1O0, 000 a year. There are 760 students living in the dormitories this year, Vehrs said, 376 worr.en and 384 men. Sixty per cent of them are freshmen. This year it costs each student $li64 a year for food and lodging. Only two colleges in the West provide these services for less, Vehrs said, while some charge over $1,000 a year.
