THE McHENRY PLAINDEALKR, THURSDAY, JUNE 9,1927 V'r •> OAKLAND ***** 8ETS HEW RECORD 1*1 *|] action At«i|w 10M Can Daily Darteg Month *f May production of Oakland-Pontiac Sixes smashed all previous monthly records for the company and enabled tjs to deliver 24,006 cars to dealers thereby setting up a new record 20 percent higher than last month which was the biggest month in the company's history," is the statement Issued by W. R. Tracy, Vice-President in charge of sales. "Twice so far this year new records have been set for monthly production, the other being April when 19,926 Oaklands and Pontiacs were produced. Yet May's figures topped this by more than 4000 cars, the third highest production month being August of 19,977 when cars were manufactured. "During May a production schedule of more than 1000 cars per working day was maintained--a goal which the Oakland Motor Car company has been striving to reach since the first of the year through its greater plant facilities. With actual production started in the new 915,000,000 factory of the Pontiac Division In April this production schedule became a reality. Large as it was, however, it failed to quiet the insistent demand of dealers for shipment of more cars. The increasing popularity of Oakland and Pontiac Sixes appears to be the outstanding reason for the almost uni versal demand for mat and more of these cars. "Incidentally, the company has likewise reached its highest employment peak with more than 8300 on the payroll. This number is in addition »*> more than 4000 employed in the Fisher Body Corporation plant devoted exclusively to the manufacture of Pon tiac bodies, besides a large force employed in other Fisher plants twmlrwig Oakland and Pontiac bodies.

FLYERS ARRIVE SAFELY IN GERMANY gjtumbim Deeeande at Paderborn After 44% Hour* n the Air. 5 Oetend, Belgium.--The plane Ootum- Ma landed at Paderborn, Westphalia. Berlin.--Berlin spent a wild night preparing to welcome Clarence Chamberlin and Charles A. Levine, the American flyers who have set a new long distance flying record. Mr. Levine landed, also, as the first passenger ever to fly the Atlantic from lj*w York to Germany. The Germans propose to make t be welcome even greater than that accorded Capt Charles A. Lindbergh when he landed in Paris, Mounted police guarded the feates to the aviation field against the throngs endeavoring to break through. All the street cars heading In the direction of Tempelhofer field were crowded to capac^y, with women and men hanging In clusters from the platforms of the care, risking their lives. The red flags were still hanging from dilapidated houses when squads of boy scouts rushed through the streets calling on the owners of the red flags, asking them to desist from the political demonstration tnd haul in their flags when, for the first time in Its history, Germany has the "heart Europe linked with America through the flight of the American flyers." Hundreds of flags were taken in after the appeal and replaced with German colors and hastily Improvised American flags. On the aviation field itself twelve airplanes were ready to start to meet the Columbia as soon as word was received that the plane was approaching the border, and to accompany the Americans on their flight across Germany and to be with tbem when tMey landed. - • : _r;-- ---r----:----- New York.--The greatest long distance flight in the history of aviation was made by the Bellanca monoplane with Clarence Chamberlin as pilot and Charles A. Levine, his millionaire backer, as his assistant Chamberlin's speed was somewhat less than Lindbergh's however, for a number of reasons. He evidently used as little fuel as possible, he took a slightly longer route to the south to avoid a storm near Ireland, and he made slower speed on the way to Newfoundland, due to adverse winds. lJndbergh averaged about 107 miles an hour, but Chamberlin's speed was not quite 100 mile* an hour. When Chamberlin was reported over Boulogne he had been in the air for about 36 hours. When he left he estimated that his 451 gallons of gasoline would keep him aloft for 48 hours, ao that If he had not been forced to uw more gasoline than expected, due to bead winds or climbing to avoid sleet and storms, be would have been able to go some distance beyond Berlin. If he chose. And Chamberlin said when he left he would fly his plane until the last drop of gas and come down "with a dead stick." Overton & Cowen Buiclt Dealers Washington.--Washington's greatest celebration--the homecoming reception it plans to give Capt. Charles A. Lindbergh, youthful conqueror of the Atlantic, when he lands here next Saturday-- is to include one of the most impressive parades which ever passed down historic Pennsylvania avenue, which has seen pageants in honor of new President, corteges of martyred Presidents and the greeting to General Pershing when he returned victorious from the World war. Big guns will boom a salute to the young flyer as soon as the cruiser Memphis arrives in sight and for more than 60 miles as she sfearns up the Potomac, the cruiser will be escorted by a veritable canopy of 50 army and navy airplanes of all types led by the dirigible lx>8 Angeles. At the navy yard, where Lindbergh will land, practically every soldier, sailor and marine In the district will 4>e mobilized as a guard of honor to escort him in the triumphal procession up Pennsylvania avenue to the Washington monument, where at least 100.000 persons will have gathered to witness the presentation of the di$* tinguisbed flying cross by President Coolidge. Police officials, anticipating tb« greatest crowds along Pensylvanla avenue In their history, are making all sorts of preparations to protect Lindbergh from overenthualastic admirers, and their fears appear to be justified, judging from the demands pouring In upon the official committee the i In charge of arrangements that the Mrs. j route of the parade be lengthened la order that all who wish may have 4 chance to see Captain Lindbergh. At a result, the parade may continue aftef the formal reception at the monument grounds to the temporary White House, where the flyer and his mother- • are to be the guests of President and Mrs. Coolidge.
