ape Lad pe a we THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, MARCH 19, 1981 NEW SPEED RECORD MADE BY CHRYSLER TOWING PLYMOUTH Imperial Eight Breaks Colum- bus-Marietta Record by Eight Minutes Towing @ Plymouth roadster with one passenger, Cannonball Baker in a Chrysler Imperial Eight sedan Feb. 23 broke the Columbus to Marietta, Ohio, record by eight minute and 10 seconds. The run, which was over a new highway connecting the two import- ant Ohio cities, was made in one hour, 57 and 1-2 minutes, an aver- age speed of 58,97 miles per hour. Baker’s accomplishment with the Chrysler Imperial is consideer dphe- nomenal, both from its novelty and the conditions under which he drove. The 115 and one-half mile route be- tween the two cities has 303 turns, yet the average running speed was prac- tically a mile a minute. The greatest speed attained during any portion of the run was 90 miles per hour. The weight and general inconvenience of the Plymouth roadster, towed by the record sedan, held the speed down materially. F The passenger in the Plymouth roadster was Jim Watson, sales man- ager of Dowd-Feder company, Chry- sler distributors in Columbus, spon- sors of the run. The car was checked out of Colum- bus by the secretary of the chamber of commerce and checked in Marietta by the secretary of the Marietta chamber of commerce. Another interesting feature in con- nection with the run is that the Chrysler Imperial ran one mile far- ther than the car which previously held the record over this course, due to @ detour necessitated by highway repairs. GIRLS LIVE ON BANANAS New York, March 19.—(#)—If an apple a day—, “what will five bana- nas do?" They kept away hunger for eight unemployed girls, says Miss Frances Perkins, state labor chief, in an appeal fo: funds.

Those who addressed the meeting were reed General G. A. Fraser, Major Frank L. Anders, Pargo, James Eg Milloy, Fargo, executive secretary £ fies Greater North Dakota associ- 3 State Senator Frank H. Hy- lana Devils Lake, iid Sivert Ww. Thompson, former president of the diversivn asociation. The fact emphasized by speakers was that solution of flood problems of the lower Mississippi Valle is de- pendent upon creation of reservoirs at the head waters of the rivers that drain into the Mississippi. The diversion scheme, it was agreed, fits thoroughly into such a system. Sixteen members of the board of di- rectors for the coming year as recom- mended by Clyde Duffy, Devils Lake, chairman of the committee, were elected. They are Frank W. Breakey, Sivert W. Thompson, A. Howard Maher and William N. Nortz, all of Devils Lake; H. W. Wilson, New Rockford; F. A. Foley, Rolla; A. E. Sylvester, Churches Ferry; Dr. W. C. Fawcett, Starkweather; T. E.

The newly elected board of direc- tors elected Breakey, president; Dr. W. C. Fawcett, vice president; Noel Tharalson, Devils Lake, secretary- treasurer. The following were chosen as an executive committee: President Breakey, Vice President Fawcett, Howard Maher, Sivert W. Thompson and William N. Nortz. Pa Se N. D.

DEPARTMENT STARTS)" Loss in Spring Wheat Area | Alone Last Year Estimated i at $5,000,000 mn, March reer aprcalare department has begun a drive to reduce losses from wheat $5,000,000 in the spring wheat area alone. A single Minnesota county—Lac Qui Parle—has been selected for the beginning of the campaign and there a serious attempt will be made by the department and local agencies to stamp out the infestation. Other states in the spring wheat belt will watch the results with the idea of adopting similar measures. ‘The program includes demonstrations of methods and results of seed treat- ment on the farm, both by the dry and liquid process. « The department said Thursday stinking smut in spring wheat has in= creased rapidly since 1925, cutting down yields and lowering quality.

They won, and still hold unchallenged, scores of official records for speed and endurance. They became, and still remain, undisputed World stock-car Champions. Studebaker’s success with Eights became the goal of the entire motor car industry. Numerous manufacturers began featuring Eights. But Studebaker’s greatest achievement was still to come. On July 10, 1930 Studebaker introduced Free Wheeling with positive gear automobile achievements of the past five years ng to STUDEBAKER — achievements began with Studebaker's determination to sponsor moderately priced eight-cylinder cars of superior de- sign and durability while other large-scale manufacturers remained control—and another great epoch in motoring began. As developed by Studebaker, Free Wheeling is so remarkable in effect, so simple in design, so easy to use, so much safer, that not one driver out of a hundred would do without it after a brief trial. Free Wheeling is not the feature of a season but the future of an industry. For the first time in the history of the automobile, Free Wheeling with positive gear control releases car momentum from subjection to the power plant that creates it and puts that momentum to work —enabling a car to travel 10,000 miles for every 8,000 miles of en- gine effort. It saves gasoline andoil. It saves car wear. It simplifies gear shifting. It brings a new thrill to motoring. Today America’s two finest cars—Pierce-Arrow and Lincola— have adopted Free Wheeling as And thus comes to a magnificent climax a program of progress that for the past five years has been the pace-setter for the entire industry —symbolic of the leadership which for seventy-nine years introduced by Studebaker. has marked the name of Studebaker.
