Bonk Swamped With Offer To Buy 7979 Mode T Cor NEW YORK How many people do you think would like to buy a 1919 model-T Ford coupe in good condition for $350? The Dry Dock Savings Bank offered just such a deal the other day. as part of on attention-getting advertising program featur ing unusual things to buy. A newspaper advertisement pic tured the car and said: "If you want a car with plenty of head room and lots of nostalgia, here she is. A postwar model World War I that is she was born in 1!)19 and is still in good running condition. Electric starter or crank it by hand if you insist." The bank got 50 quick phone calls and loiters, not only from this area but from Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. The inquiries are still coming in. Only about half the inquiries were from people with car hob bies. The others just saw the ad and got to thinking what fun it would be. Miss .Sally Dominick. who han dles the bank's ad program. makes arrangements with people vho have unusual things to sell checking earelully to make sure they are bargains in their way and of top quality. When people see the ads and inquire, they are mailed circulars giving all details so that direct contact may be made with the sellers. The ads have featured such things as $300 ship models, $'.KI5 telescopes, fencing lessons and Mexican burros for $35 each. Most popular items so far were the telescopes and burros. Now about that 1919 Ford again. Just so prospective customers would have a better chance at a car. Miss Dominick listed on her fact sheet a 1913 Ford touring car and a 1915 Ford pickup truck restored as a hobby by a real estate man. He was willing to-sell for $1,000 and $750, respectively. What happened? The fellow with the touring car and pickup changed his mind. Instead, he rushed out with a $350 check and snapped up the coupe.

Three weeks ago he applied at J. W. Kerns. Oregon Ltd.. 734 South Sixth, and was hired to be the 11th repairman on the Kerns staff to operate the small motors repair department. There are also four master mechanics in the trac tor shop, two farm machinery re pairmen, two handling radio and TV repair, one each on washing machines and pump repair. There was a need for one person to be assigned to small machinery, par ticularly since the firm has been assigned the franchise for Clinton Motors recently. "Carter's smile and willing hands deny the lact that he has been in a wheel chair for the last eight vears," Ben Kerns commented. Final Murder Talks Today LINCOLN. Neb. W Charles Starkweather, who says he is hot ting he'll be sent to the electric chair, listens today to the final arguments in his murder trial. The case probably w ill go to the Jury early this allernoon. As testimony drew to a close vesterdav. Starkweather offered to make his bet that he'd die in the electric chair. He leaned forward and to psy chiatrist Dr. John Steinman. a defense witness, said. "I'll bet you a pack ol cigarettes that I get a battery charge." Later Dr. Steinman said "bat- terv charge" was Starkweather's term for the chair. A jury of eight women and four men will decide the (ate of Stark weather, who admits involvement in 11 slayings and admits he shot Robert Jensen. 17, for whose death he is on trial. The defence pleaded Stark ;- innocO' by reasors o! Carter was born at Lebanon, Oregon. In 1950. the year alter he was graduated from high school, he was married in July and in August contracted polio. Within two days he had lost the use o( his legs. The National Foundation for In fantile Paralysis came to the res cue with direct assistance and re habilitation at this point and Dale learned to get about with the as sistance of a wheel chair. The handicapped lad was 19, married and untrained in business. His father set him up in a small bicycle shop where he put into practice his knack for handling machinery. Time passed and the business expanded to include small motors and repairs on other machines. The family grew, also and the Carters now have t w o boys. Last year. Dale, upon the advice of the Oregon State Rehabilitation Councilor, registered as a student at Oregon Tech.
