Farm Census
Hearing End
The 1954 census of agriculture Is
In its final stages and final re
sults will depend upon the success
the enumerators have in getting
the information required. The work
has been somewhat delayed by the
harvest of crops and various hunt
ing seasons, the Bureau of Census
at Bend reports.
The farm census questionnaires
were mailed in advance of the
start of the field enumeration far
the purpose of giving iarm opera
tors time to consult their records
and fill out the forms before the
enumerators began their rounds.
This procedure was planned to in
sure greater accuracy and to save
time for both the farmer and the
enumerator. Completion of the
farm census on time will not only
help In keeping costs down but will
aid in prompt publication of the
results.
This is the first time that the
farm census has been taken in the
fall of the year.

New Packard
Line For '55
Presented
Packard and Clipper models for
1955. completely restyled and new
in every major mechanical fea
ture, were shown over the U.S.
today.'
Representing the culmination of
two-car program to recapture
Packard's former prominence in
the fine car field, the cars are
being produced in new Detroit
area facilities representing the
greatest move in the company's
history, James J. Nance, presi
dent of Studebaker-Packard Cor
poration told a national press
group at a meeting which included
a tour of Packard a new engine
and body plants.
A new suspension with a torsion
bar principle is the outstanding
new feature of the new cars. The
Packard official said that with this
development of torsion suspension,
a type being tised for the first
time on a production automobile,
Packard was moving in advance
of a new trend toward riding com
fort. Nance observed that the em
phasis in engineering and develop
ment during recent f years had
been centered on mechanical
improvement, with V-8 engines of
increased horsepower, power
brakes, power steering, to meet
new traffic conditions of the post
war period.
This emphasis, he further com
mented, was currently being sup
plemented by a strong element in
styling by offering wide and varied
choices of color and trim schemes
to meet the growing desire on the
part of the consumer to express
individuality in his car.
Nance predicted the next major
move in automobile merchandising
would be directed toward provid
ing the customer with greater rid
ing comfort. He said that it was
because of this strong belief that
new standards or riding comfort
would be the next major cycle in
engineering development: that in
planning the 1955 Packard the de
cision was made to introduce the
new torsion-level method of sus
pension.

Civil Defense
Evaluation Made
DENVER lAV-Civil defense of
ficials in the northern Colorado
farm belt were satisfied today that
their area could provide food and
shelter for 300,000 Denver residents
for 30 days in case an enemy air
attack smashed the city.
Thej based their appraisal on
yesterday's mock evacuation of
Denver by hundreds of volunteers
in a test of how well a rural area
could receive a large number of
refugees from a major city.
Denver residents who took part
assembled at Brighton, about 16
miles north of the Colorado cap
ital. Then, in convoys of It to 95
family cars, they traveled to re
ception centers in country senoola.
The exercise, dubbed Operation
Welcome, ended when the city
folks and their farm hosts sat down
to old-fashioned Sunday dinners.

monster or something about as

Their "monster," they reported,
is 50 feet long and has approx'
imately eight legs and the silhou
ette of a gigantic scorpion.
The echo sounder charts under
water depths and schools of fish
oy recording the time a sound
takes to echo back to the device.
Peter Anderson of the Rival's crew
reported the mystery object was
located at a depth of 140 feet. 180
feet above the bed of the Scottish
lake where the monster Is reported
seen every so often.
Anderson aald he was at the
ship's wheel, bound for the west
coast fishing grounds, when "sud

echo sounder start to draw an as

"I shouted to the captain and
other seven crew members they
were down below having tea and
they came crowding up to the
wheelhouse. At once we turned the
boat about and tried to track the
monster again, but we must have
frightened it away."
The graph showed a small-head

and a tail about 18 feet long.
