y speeded up to 120 miles per
liour in this type test. The tire is
then slammed against the wheel
with a force of 35,000 pounds. The
tire screaming and smoking, at the
moment is absorbing 17,000,000
foot pounds of energy. The test
engineer's objective is to blow out
the tire in one way or another. !
Even if the tire shows a success- j
ful degree of resistance, it is not 1
vet through with its initiation.
There is still a road test.
On dry lakes in the West, with
temperatures sometimes ranging lo
120 degrees, ths tlBe. mounted on
cars, are run up to 1,000 miles per
day at 90 miles an hour.
This method of testing is a re
cent development, made possible
by the use of a plane wing section
mounted on the side of the test car.
On the circular tracks, the plane
wing creates an inward thrust to
counterbalance the centrifugal pull
created on turns that the cars take
at 90 miles an hour. The weight of
the car is thus kept in perfect bal
ance as in normal straight-away
driving.
This development is said to be
a major step forward in the tech
nique of tire testing. The success
ful invention of the autoplane hy
brid opens the way to safer and
more precise testing, according to
Mr. Walsh, and provides the means
for the development of longer
wearing tires and safer driving.

Miss Quinlan entered the
American Red Cross In Septem
ber, 1941. and just as this coun
try declared war was assigned to
overseas duty in Iceland, where
she served at an array hospital.
Here men in the navy, army, Ma
rines and Merchant marines were
brought for treatment. Here she
encountered many shortages, for
supplies were being sunk in that
area and it was hard to get them
across the Atlantic. We recall
when she came home back in
1943 she felt she could never get
enough orange juice, it was so
delicious after months of not see
ing an orange. She returned in
1943 at the time the Atlantic was
at its most dangerous staRc of
travel. She spent only a few
weeks in America and was as
signed to duty in Australia and
later in New Guinea. Here she
spent 10 months, being returned
to the States in 1944. Since then
she has been assigned to psychl
atic work, her last post of duty
in a hospital at Quantico.

presentation. The jewels presented to the King are temporarily arranged in the form of a

estimate is impossible without close examination. Working from the quarter-million-dollar
fgure, individual values probably would be near those listed.
Parkway Stretch Bids

Most of her work overseas was
as a recreational director in hos
pitals, but her work and many serv
ices not listed as recreational. Out
in the Pacilic she met a Haywood
boy, who wanted his family to have
a Jap sword and he feared if sent
it might not reach them, so he
asked her to bring it back. And she
did all the way home in her suit
case, and delivered it in person.
One of her greatest self appointed
tasks was seeing that every Hay
wood county boy in her vicinity
had a chance to read her Waynes
ville Mountaineer. There was a boy
in Iceland who would hitch hike
ten miles just to get to read the
paper, which she says was worn
out by the time it made the rounds
that even boys from this section
of the state outside of Haywood
wanted to read it.
