Onl3fe Highway n ■ ! FIRST PRIZE DONT WASTE WATER By Maxine Elliott, 7th Grade A few in Vernonia are letting wat er drip and run day und night. Last inght the big supply tank was empti ed and the pump froze up. It's ed. Wrsp your pipes. The Oakland ia ahead of all other curs, first, because of its centralized Control. The steering gear, gear shift leaver, accelator, and throttles are all centralized so they are easily reached. For this reason it is much more safe than all other can made. They have disc wheels, balloon tires, permanent tap, Fisher Bodies, indi rectly lighted instrement panel, auto matic spark control. Glass inclosures for open cars are added at a small coat. The body is provided with metal back, and very wide doon, allowing easy access. The seats have full backs und are heavily upholsttred in worsted. The windows are large with quick action crank type lifts. Both compartments are exceptionally roo my and luggage space is arrange for under the rear seat. The windshield is the Fisher V. V. one piece type and other equippment composes speedometer, ammeter, oil automatic windshield cleaner, rear view mirror, foot rest, invisible door checks, tools, tire pump, jack, lock on right hand door. Fenders, running gear and upper body are in black, lining in dark green. Their Duao finish introduced by daklod last year, is the most durable ever put on an automobile. In every desirable color treatment, it has al the beauty of hard-rubbed paint jobs yet requires almost no care what ever. It will not chip, check or fade and ia not effected by extremes of temperature. Even dried on mud may be rubbed from it with a dry cloth without marring the surface. In fact its beautiful mellow glass ia oven improved by repeated rubbings and should the surface be marred by scratches or accident, it can be very quickly renewed without neceeeitat- ing refinishing the entire body. The Sedan is the most comfortable model of the Oakland. Long rides on rainy days may be taken with out wearing unsuitable clothes. Just look thio car over yourself and you will see in a minute why it is setting the sales pace for ears of it's field. The reason’s clear, it offers more* in every way for the pirce you pay. More beauty, more quality, more comfort and more value. Note the smart lines of the body and the interior trim of fine Mohair cloth upholstery. Observe the fine character of the construction. Note how snuggly it ia built. This car is also equipped with the four wheel brakes which adds to the safety of driving on hilly roads and secures more safe and accurate performance for driving in congested districts. Aside fro mthe convenience of being able to stop quickly and eas ily it also spells tire economy. There is speed, and real good ser vice locked up under the graceful hood of the 1926 Oakland. You will be surprised at the pul ling power and absence of vibration in the new motor. The power generated by the Oak land engine is in turn translated into Mileage through units designed and constructed as carefully aa the pow er plant itself, to achieve smoothness flexibility, economy, and diapensibil- ity. By inspecting the car in detail by riding in it yourself you will be able to get a true appreciation of Oak land excellence and Oakland value, which arise from its fine engineering From every standpoint of perform ance, of comfort, of economy and of serviceability it is a year in abvance of its field. SAY WE’RE LUCKY We read daily dispatches in papers of many stoves blowing and people being injured through frozen water pipe*? Vernonia has some frozen pipes and a few cases where damage will amount to severe* dollars, but no one hurt. Beaverton Oregon City, Tacoma, Portland— many towns experienced this. Peo. pie learn this every winter, still will never prepare for a cold snap. All ex posed pipes should be boxtd and pack, ed with sawdust, old sacks or earth. And why would anyone build a fire when the pipes are frozen? from the Northwest s finest bakery lilt the bread supreme People wil lnot obey instructions, and seem to care for seif alone. In Oregon City, the many private homes letting their hydrants drip all night to avoid freezing caused the empty ing of 76,000 gallons of stored wat er. Just suppose the city had caught fire. No water. IT IS NOT NATURAL for superior work to be done with 1 inferior tools. You have a right to expect superior bread from a superior bakery. Indeed, there is just one natural reason for the existence of a superior bakery anywhere—and. that is a dominating determination to make superior bread. Mrs. Asa Smith returned Sunday from a Portland visit. Visitors are always welcome at die U. S. Bakery, East11 th to 12th and East Everett to flanders streets. We are glad to have people sec our plant and see how Butter-Nut bread is made—and it is really interest ing to go through this bakery equipped to make “Z5.000 quality loaves a day. « 4 . •.
