And with good reason. The hazards of the road take more American lives every year than we lost in the whole Korean war. So important things are being done to make cars safer. But—isn’t safety even more important in trucks' If safety is important to the man who drives a car a few hours a day, isn’t it even more important to the man (and his family) who drives a truck for a living? We think it is And we think you wives think it is. That’s why we believe you’ll be vitally interested in what Ford has done to make driving a truck safer for your husband. Ford has taken the lead in safety with not just one, but a whole family of new safety features for America’s trucks and cars. What are these features that could be so important to you? /. Lifeguard Steering Wheel Ford s exclusive Lifeguard truck steering wheel is built in such a way that, in case of accident, it helps protect the driver from any contact with the steering post. This kind of t • ’drep-center deep-center" steering wheel actually acts as a cushion in case <>( accidents. 1?. Lifeguard Door lattehe* Ford’s Lifeguard door latches have a new "double grip" ty¡>e construction. Their extra hold ing strength gives added protection against doors Hying <»|xsi in the event ot an accident ... to help keep the driver in the truck w here he’s twice as safe. •I. >rat Belt* You ve read a lot about seat belts You prob ably know that the Accident Research Center at Cornell University, the American College of STAYTON. OREGON Phone 2524 Surgeons and many other groups strongly urge that every owner equip his vehicle w ith seat belts. Studies prove that in about one-half of all acci dents. injuries could be avoided or reduced by the use of seat belts Ford is the first truck manufacturer to make seat belts available (at low extra cost, for both netc and used trucks). In case of an accident, or sudden stop, a Ford Seat Belt holds the driv er firmly in the seat. This greatly cuts down the chances of serious injury. Anil remember it isn’t necessary to be driving fast to be seriously injures! or thrown out of the track in ease of an accident. A sizable per centage of injuries of this kind occur at speeds of only JO or even 25 miles per hour. (If your dealer happens to lie out of seat belt» temporarily, please be patient He will have tluxn shortly.) PHILIPPI MOTOR CO ’ ___________________ TOP TV' THE CAINE MUTINY COURT MARTIAL * 4. Tubeless Tires This year, tubeless tires are standard equip- ment on every Ford Truck. Tubeless tires do not prevent punctures. But they do help to prevent many blowouts. When a puncture occurs in a tubeless tire, the air is apt to escape very slowly. The driver has a greater chance to slow down and stop safely. • The following letter was received this week from Mrs. Ken Crosier. As it contains news of many former residents, we are printing it here with: Dear Mr. Moffatt: We didn’t even get settled in Cali fornia before Ken was transferred to Idaho Falls as safety engineer for Kaiser Engineers. They are doing some building for the Atomic Energy commission. The housing situation is terrific here but Ken finally talked a man into renting,tv us instead of trying to sell the house. We had a very nice trip up from Califoinia. We saw June Miley in Redlands and the George Steffy’s in Las Vegas. They are all fine. The Jack Murrays, M. L. Fultons, Doug Allens, Harney Hautalas and Bill | Teal are on this job here and the I Hurds are coming from North Da kota. The James Bartons are on the I Ontario, Calif., job. A note from Giace Hoffman stated that Russell was on a trip to Greenland for the Guy F. Atkinson company and that JoAnn was attending the University of Washington in ^Seattle. They are still living in Millbrae, Calif. There are lots of beautiful drives out of Idaho Falls. One Sunday we drove through Yellowstone National park and then back through the ■ Jackson Hole country The Tetons are j truly beautiful and so is Zion Na- l tional Park in Utah. , Our Mill City Enterprise doesn’t seem to be following us here. We didn’t receive the October 6th issue or any since that time. Say hello to our friends in Mill City for us.—Ruby and Ken Crosier. ■ MILL CITY HI LIGHTS I I Power Brakes What we call vacuum-boosted power brakes make it possible for the driver to apply a lot more force to the brakes, faster and easier. This makes it possible to stop faster in emergencies. Power brakes are standard or available on every ’56 Ford Truck. 6. Editor s Letter Box High Visibility A better view of the road-in front, behind and to the sides—can help the driver to spot trouble before it happens. A full-wrap windshield is standard on the new Ford Trucks for ’56. The standard rear window is the uidett on any truck . .. and a new full-wrap rear window is available at slight extra cost. All told, a new Ford Truck gives the driver one of the greatest all-around glass areas of any trade. 7» Reserve Power Harold Kliewer Junior Everyone, or should I say just above everybody got caught up on loss of sleep and back school work during our five-day vacation. It was really hard getting up early Monday morning. The Lettermen took in a total of $207, when they took in several loads of scrap metal Tuesday to Portland They picked up about six tons, $179 in metal and $28 for batteries and radiators. Another load is about ready for Portland. We are doing better than we though we would. The Senior class is giving a play. "Time Out for Ginger.” This play was given on television and was en joyed by everyone. The play will be given Friday, November 28 at 8 p m. at the high school auditorium Mrs Boak is doing a fine job in di recting the play. We hope everyone will attend. THE MILL CITY ENTERPRISE A "slow-poke” truck can be a threat to highway safety—it is a stumbling block in the path of other traffic. Trucks should have enough power to keep up with the traffic stream. And they should have enough reserve ¡mwer to pull out of emergency situations. So you will be interested to know that the new Fort! Tracks for ’56 have power increases up to 261, to make sure drivers have all the reserve power they are ever likely to need. Entered u second class matter Na- •ember 16. 190 at the post office at Mill City, Oregon, under the Act of March $. «79 Why should any man who drives a truck for a living take chances, needless chances, by not taking advantage of every available safety device? To repeat—if safety is important to a man who drives a car once m a while. isn’t it far more im portant to the man who drives a truck all day. for a living? When a man drives a '56 Ford Truck-from Pickup to tandem-axle Bu. |oa — he and his familv have this peace of mind. Thev know he’s driving a truck that gives him the added protection ai exclusive Lifeguard safety features. MILL CITY.
