IN THE AIR Allied warplanes still control the air over Korea, the report contin ued, but this has not prevented the Communists from building up their front line supplies. It added that the enemy has shown the abil ity "to move armies into and to of the line without suffering cas- unuira.

By JEAN OWENS Almost all of the seniors who visaed the slate colleges for senior visitation weekend came home yesterday with a desire to become part of a college student body and a wish to be called "college man or woman." Not only was this weekend full of fun for those who did visit, but they had the chance to examine and become acquainted wiui the various courses which are available to them in the various schools. KTJ students can well be proud of their music department, which rep resented our school at the southern Oregon district music contest In Medford this weekend In the best way possible. They certainly brought honor to us by bringing home such high awards and fine comments on "work well done." Taking a look at the calendar of events for May. we find thBt every activity period and almost every evening Is filled with meet ings, banquets, dances and the senior activities. Perhaps most important In to- i day's events, was the run-off I election for the student' bov of ficers. Friday, a student bodv meeting will be held to Uistull the new officers. J Rallv squad trv-outs began this noon. The girls who signed up with ftiiss Kuncs to participate trled out In front of a special selecting committee which consisted of one freshman, one sophomore, two juniors and two seniors. This committee will again see them trv-out tomorrow noon, and they will then select a number of finalists. Wednesday during the activity period, students will have a chance to sec the finalists in action. Thursday the student bodv will then vote tor those thev wish to serve on next year's rally squad.

Next month airplane-spotting sta tions In SI states will start operat ing on n round-the-clock basis. The Defense Department, which ordered boih developments, do- scribed them as part of the regular defense training process, not to be construed as evidence of anv tight ening of jnteinallonul tensions. Nevertheless, thev demonstrate that the nation Is moving ahead In the building and si l engthening of Its air guards. At the same time, there have been thise recent Indi cations of progress lu offense de velopments as wen: 1.

MERCURY BEATS ALL COMERS ECONOMY RUN 3WM IN 3 VfAlS! m MOBILGAS GRUELING " j Lj$r 1,415 MILE I pT TEST ?A If What t test to prove Mercury and Lincoln superiority I This year's Mobilgas Economy Run covers a 1 ,41 B-mile course longest, toughest test in Mobilgas Economy Run history. Elevations range from below sea level to 8,010 feet above. Mercury out-performed all others to win both the grand Sweepstakes prize and Class C trophy. Lincoln won Class G and was Mercury's closest competition for top Sweepstakes honors. Lincoln Again Best in Class Runs Second in Sweepstakes Mercury, the car that challenged them all, hag done it again . . . won the grand Swenp Btakes prize in this "world series" for auto mobiles. And this isn't the first time! Just look at Mercury's three-year-in-a-row record: three out of three times winner in its price class; two out of three times Sweepstakes winner against aft cars in every class! Look at Lincoln, too. Lincoln won Class G first prize, .and provided Mercury's closest competition for top Sweepstakes honors. The Mobilgas Economy Run is open to all ' cars of every make. Every car is a Mock car, selected at random by the A.A.A. To assure an equal chance fot all, regardless of size and weight, ton-miles-per-gallon performance determines the winner. A L952 Mercury Monterey Special Custom Sedan with optional overdrive swept the field with 59.7188 ton-miles-per gallon, averaging 25.4093 miles per gallon. And the engine that did it is Mercury's famous V-8. The Lincoln Capri Sedan with Hydra-Mat.ic transmission won its class prize with 58.9085 ton-miles-per-gallon, averaging 22.3562 miles per gallon. That's something to think about when you buy a new car. Mercury, which for months has been challenging the industry to match it, has now proved its superiority for economy. Right now, in our showroom, is a 1952 Mercury, similar to the one that won this official, impartial test. Why not stop around and give it a try? No obligation, of course.
