These matters have been | disposed of. The Barco concession, comprising | 1,300,000 acres, has been in controversy | for a number of years. The concession | was first granted to Gen. Barco in| 1905 It was acquired by South Ameri- can Gulf in 1918, only to have the gov- ernment declare it invalid in 1926. Gulf interests found litigation unavailing. but when President Herrera came into power in 1930 negotiations were re- sumed and an agreement was finally reached. The concession runs for 50 years. { James Nickell, Dwight Clark; artistic arrangement, children, James Nickell, Berkeley Gillespie, Anne Rust; minii ture gardens, children, James Nickell, Jimmy Pickett.

I think it is BIG news, and I'll tell you why: 34,400 were killed in auto- mobile accidents in this country last year. Almost a million— 997,600 —were tnjured. These figures overwhelm me. What do you think? If a way has been found to make tires that will prevent some of these tragedies— this suffering—isn’t that BIG news? I leave it to you. 1 stopped at the Goodrich plant in Akron. I heard they were making a safer tire—the safest tire ever built. They call it the SAFE- TY Silvertown. They convinced me. They showed me a test that was a sock-dologer. Testing Goodrich — or Gibbons? These Goodrich tire testers put your old headline hunter on the spot. That spot was right in the middle of a street intersection. And the street was wet. They drove a car with these new safety tires on it—drove it straight at me at the speed of 42 miles an hour. THEY PUT YOUR OLD HEADLINE HUNTER ON THE SPOT. That car on Safety Silvertowns went around that sharp corner at (] Just before it reached me, going at that speed, the driver turned suddenly to the right. Just missed me by inches. They said it wouldn't skid. T had to be- lieve them. It did not skid. But, boy, what a test! I asked them if they were testing Goodrich or Gibbons. They showed me the works! That car on Safety Silvertowns went around that sharp corner at 42 miles an hour. Not a curve— a sharp corner—sharper than a right angle. But those tires clutched that wet, asphalt surface like they were running in a groove. THEY DIDN'T SKID AN INCH. If they had skidded —well, some other boy'd be writing this copy instead of me. When I got my breath back, I wanted to know i.ow such a tire could be made. I mean, I wanted to see the works. They showed me a plant so big T wore my legs out—and only hit the high spots. One place, I stood in a shaft eight or ten Forty— fifty —sixty feet they dropped it. | Then, at 75 feet, the tire gave way. It didn’t | burst—the air came out like a sigh. | That's one way they find out whether | their tires are safe against blow-outs. I saw them place a tire in a chamber rein- forced like a prison cell, and blow it up to 200 pounds pressure before it burst. I stood in a room—not for long—where the temperature was 120 degrees— the torture chamber. Here great wheels studded with steel cleats were trying to pound tires to pieces. Cleats striking the inflated rubber with terrific force hundreds of times a minute. They said this test duplicated driving con- ditions on the desert. stories high, and watched them drop a heavy, wicked-looking metal prong—like a guillo- tine—time after time on an inflated tire. 1 MEASURED THE DEPTH of the tread. 15% deeper than before! They told me this meant thousands of additional anti-skid miles. They showed me how those husky cleats of tough rubber continue to grip the road long after the tread of an ordinary tire is worn smooth. 42 miles an hour. But those tires clutched that wet, asphalt surface like they were running in a groove. They didr.’t skid an inch. Iasked them if they were testing Goodrich or Gibbons. Test, test—improve, improve! That's what it's all about. They hours a day. T g to find tires that are already tougher than the Gas House Gang. That's how they prove it's the safest tire ever built! Maybe it’s too easy! They told me these Safety for the price of any stand more. With thousands smashed up or killed in skidding accidents every year, I'm willing to pay something extra to save my neck.
