partners are Robert Lewis, 13, and
his two cousins. Marge Lewis, 14,
and Ken Lewis, 13.
It all started some time ago
when Robert was paging through a
Popular Science magazine. He no

to construct a midget auto and I
decided to try It.
His cousins weren't to be out
done, so work began on three ve
hicles. They assembled their ma

facturing Company plant, which is
operated by the iwa fathers, who
gave them some help occasionally.

US Business Outlook For
Rest Of '55 Reported Good
School Medical Aid Attacked
PORTLAND UR V The Oregon
Board of . Higher Education was
criticized by the State Welfare
Commission Friday for its plan to
charge for medical treatment of
welfare patients.
The patients will be treated at
the new University of Oregon Med
ical School teaching hospital, to be
opened soon. At present the com
mission does not pay for patients
treated at Doernbecher Hospital
which is operated by the medical
school and which will be a part
of the new teaching hospital.
Mrs. Loa Howard Mason, wel
fare administrator, said that the
Legislature had made no provision
for this additional expense and the
commission suggested that the
needed funds be provided by the
State Emergency Board.
In other action the commission
approved a policy of slightly high
er starting pay for four clerk
classifications in the Portland
area.
Mrs. Mason reported that there
were 66 vacancies on the staff of
841 in the department.

NEW YORK Ml Business
should be good right through to
the end of 1955. But in many lines
the cost of doing business will be
hipher.
That's how things shaped up
this week as sales and production
perked along at record summer
levels.
Except in the flood-ravaged
areas of the' Northeast, optimism
was the keynote. The National In
dustrial Conference Board, after
polling 131 manufacturers, came
up with these findings: Most manu
facturers think business during
the rest of 1955 will be as good
or better than in the record first
half. Many look for gains in pro
duction, profits and employment.
Optimism was reflected in the
behavior of the stock market I
which snapped back smartly after
a summer slump.
In Washington, prospects of b
balanced federal budget spurred
talk of possible tax cuts. Treasury
Secretary Humphrey said Ameri
cans are enjoying "new peaks of
prosperity" and "if ever there was
a time when our budget should
be balanced, It is now ..."
Meanwhile relief for the Norih-
east's tfood-damaged transport and
industry got top billing. With flood
devastation estimated officially at
$1,600,000,000, a huge reconstruc
tion effort was in prospect.
price boosts made news this
week. Raw copper prices moved
up again, this time to 43 cents
the second increase in eight days
Other Items going higher included
sheets, overalls, industrial chemi
cals, farm tractors, golf clubs.
Short supplies and high prices for
crude rubber (now selling at about
4i cents a pound) brought de
mands for tighter controls on rub
ber futures speculation.
Living costs headed upward
Biggest Gainers: Food (especially
fresh fruits which suffered frost
damage earlier in the year), doc
tor bills, haircuts.
- Factory take-home pay, while
down a bit from May and June,
set a new July record, averaging
not quite $70 a week for a worker
with three- tax-deductible depend
ents. Farmers' income was down
4 per cent from a year ago.
ANCIENT POTTERY

BOONSBORO, Md. iff) It was
supper time and there was no sign
of young Jonathan Carney liarrell

Then it was remembered the 4-
year-old youngster had been play
ing at noon near the barn where
his father was grinding corn stocks
into silage.
They looked in the silo. There
they found the remains of Jona

It wasn't until later that state
trooper Clyde Tucker said the
boy's 7-yenr-old sister told how It
happened. She and the boy were
sitting on the end of a wagon used
to haul the stalks to a conveyor

conceived the Idea of Using his
auto to pay for itself.
His two cousins, . the son and
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Austin
Lewis of Malin, were brought into
the corporation as partners. They
laid out a track on the Lewis prop
erty on Washburn Way and opened
for business about three weeks ago.
They set a charge of one cent for
each time around the oval. Neigh
borhood kids soon heard of the Lew-
Is venture and (locked to the lot.
Now there are usually about 20
youngsters lined up at a time wait
ing for their turns behind the
wheel.
Most of them take at least 10
spins around the track, aitnougn
Dorothy Lewis, Robert's 15-year-old
sister who helps out in the
business, recalled one boy who
went around ISO times.
The Lewis partners open the
gates at about 10 a.m. and usual
ly run the cars until dark, ine
autos have three-horsepower mo

that disengages the drive-wheel.'
Top speed isn't much more than
five or ten miles an hour, which
is fast enough for most of the
youthtul drivers. 8ome of them

log barriers. It doesn't seem to
brother the cars much, however.
They are of solid metal construc
tion with bumpers on front and
back.
The track has seen some heavy
use since the opening day. The
partners figure that youthtul rid
ers have taken about 6.500 trips
around the oval so far.
