New Ford Draws People By Score
Hundreds Inspect New Eight-Cylinder Model On Display At Keirsey's
Hundreds of Anaheim residents rushed to Harold Keirsey's Ford garage early Thursday morning to get their first glimpse of Henry Ford's latest automotive sensation—the new eight-cylinder motor car which sells in about the same price class as his previous model A.
Told that the V-type engine develops 65 horsepower and is capable of driving the car at 75 miles an hour, the men and women personally began looking over various features.
14 Body Types
Some of the mechanical features are rubber mounting for engine; downdraft carburetor; automatic spark control; fuel-pump; rear fuel tank; soft, flexible springs; large mechanical four-wheel brakes; small, strong, electrically welded steel-spoke wheels and large tires. The frame is cushioned from the running gear by rubber insulators in the spring shackles and shock absorber links.
The 14 body types may be obtained also with an improved 50 horsepower, 4-cylinder engine at lower cost.
The bodies are fresh and modern—from the gracefully rounded V-raditor to rear bumper. Body interiors are roomy and richly finished. Seats are of new style, designed for utmost comfort. Driver's seats in all closed cars are adjustable. A large ventilator is provided in the cowl.
Body Low
The instrument panel is oval, with a rustless steel moulding. Inside sun visors fold out of the way when not in use.
Many outstanding features are found in the chassis. These include a strong, rugged frame; newly designed, soft, flexible transverse cantilever springs; rubber-cushioned spring shackles and self-adjusting hydraulic double-acting

Demonstrate Paints At Spencer’s Store
Of unusual interest during this time of the year when housewives generally are concerned with spring housecleaning, Miss Miller, factory demonstrator from the Pittsburg Plate Glass company, will give a two-day demonstration Friday and Saturday, April 1 and 2, at the B. F. Spencer Store at 166 West Center street.
In demonstrating the use of Water-pear, Miss Miller will color lamp shades, card tables, vases and other useful household articles. These articles, including mirrors, will be given away by the store with certain purchases, Mr. Spencer stated.
"Last year more than 300 women were interested in the demonstration and many have returned to the store since inquiring when we were going to have another." Mr. Spencer said.
"Everything Miss Miller does in the demonstration can be done by the most inexperienced at home. That's why her lemonstrations always attract considerable attention."

The rear spring is mounted on perches back of the axle housing and is bowed out around the differential housing.
The shape of the frame and design of the springs allow the body to be mounted close to the road, thus lowering the car's center of gravity and improving roadability and riding comfort.
The large mechanical four-wheel brakes have 186 square inches of braking surface. Brake drums are of cast alloy iron which tests show does not score easily.
Plans for Aqueduct Told by Weymouth
State Supreme Court's Decision Awaired: Work on San Jacinto 13-Mile Tunnel First
If the California supreme court's decision, expected within a few weeks on the $220,000,000 Colorado river aqueduct bond issued overwhelmingly voted several months ago supports the validity of the gigantic expenditure, work will begin immediately on a 13-mile bore in the San Jacinto mountains, a job requiring more time than any other particular bit of work on the 200-mile waterway.
Details for procedure were submitted this week by Head Engineer Frank E. Weymouth of the Metropolitan Water District. Before many months are passed, 10,000 men will be put to work and will remain at their jobs for the greater part of six years.
Outlines Pronosals
Outlining his proposal to the board of directors, Engineer Weymouth included the following points:
1. Diversion dam across Colorado river at aqueduct intake, capacity 716,600 acre feet, or more than eleven times larger than Halwee reservoir—largest storage basin in the Los Angeles city water system.
2. Intake works and main aqueduct including 57 tunnels, 84.17 miles in length; 57.81 miles of open conduits and 60.77 miles of covered sections of the park.

Cromwell Picks 39 For Meet Saturday
Wykoff Expected to Get Plenty of Competition with the California Bears
Thirty-nine University of Southern California athletes were tentatively selected by Coach Dean B. Cromwell to represent the Trojans in a dual meet against the University of California at Berkeley Saturday, April 2. The names of five Trojan stars were not on the tentative list either because of injuries or because Coach Cromwell does not believe they are in shape for a hard meet.
Frank Wykoff will run both the 100 and 220 sprints in which he is doped to get plenty of competition from Bob Kiesel, sensational California sophomore. Kiesel is undefeated as yet in varsity competition and track followers in the San Francisco Bay district believe he has an excellent chance of beating Southern California's national champion.
The meet will see Bill Graber, Southern California's champion pole vaulter, returning to his event after a two weeks' lay-off caused by a sprained ankle. However, Dick Barber, broad jumping ace, is still out of track because of injuries, while three hurdlers, Jeddy Welsh, Bill Stokes and Jimmy Payne, have not been entered because of various ailments. Jim Stewart is going easy in his training program and will not compete in the high jump.

"Unreality" Subject for Lesson-Sermon
"Unreality" is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon on Sunday in all branches of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass. The Golden Text is from Psalm exxl: "For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven... Through thy precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way."
One of the Bible citations in the Lesson-Sermon includes words of Eliphaz from The Book of Job: "I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause; which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvellous things without number; ... to set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may be exalted to safety. He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise... He shall deliver thee in six troubles; yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee."
A selection from "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy, states: "As God Himself is good and Is Spirit, goodness and spirituality must be immortal... If goodness and spirituality are real, evil and materiality are unreal and cannot be the outcome of an infinite God, good."

ELECTION MONDAY,
Bank of America inaugurates a "BACK TO GOOD TIMES" MOVEMENT for California!
Californians have the money, the natural resources and the physical and mental ability necessary to speed up the wheels of statewide industry to their full capacity... Because of this fact, two hundred and eight thousand officers, directors, employees and stockholders of Bank of America have enlisted in a statewide movement for an early return to better times throughout California—and the nation. Every citizen of this great state is invited to co-operate in this constructive statewide effort toward the restoration of a sound prosperity... Every inactive dollar banked today will release from 5 to 10 dollars worth of useful credit, help to stimulate all lines of business and create gainful work for everyone... Open a “Prosperity Account” today—in this bank or in any other bank... Resume sensible buying habits. Help industry and industry will help you!... Let’s renew our faith in our great nation and in ourselves. Let’s drop all our baseless fears and behave like normal, grown-up citizens... Complete and speedy business recovery
SIGNS OF BETTER TIMES
One of the leading power companies of California has just announced its intention of spending 10 million dollars in construction work during 1932.
February showed a decided improvement in department store and similar retail sales in California.
February foreign trade for the entire nation gained 5 million dollars over the preceding month—the first rise in exports since 1916. (California's foreign trade during 1931 exceeded 230 million dollars.)
Orange prices in eastern markets were higher in February 1932 than in January or February 1931.
depends upon the action of each individual... Let's not passively wait for some good fortune to come to us. We can create our own prosperity with our own money HERE AND NOW! Every dollar banked, or judiciously invested, or expended at the present moment, is a forward step toward better times.
Join Bank of America's statewide movement for a prosperous California! Let’s make our country's whitest spot 100% white, and perhaps lead the whole nation back to good times.
