NATIONAL CoMMENTs

Your Board of Directors is planning big things for the future. A glance over our shoulder allows us ANNUAL to see and remember the recent Annual Convention and all of its pleasures and opportunities to visit w~th friends from far and near. In looking ahead, your Board is already planning for the 1969 Annual Convention - and what a con­ vention it promises to be! It is with pleasure that I can announce the Board's recent approval of Direc­ tor Cecil Frye's proposal to hold the convention at the Huntington-Sheraton Hotel in Pasadena. This famous and picturesque hotel is a perfect setting for such a major event of a club whose theme and inter­ est is preservation of beautiful automobiles built in the early 1900s. The Huntington Hotel was. built in the carriage days for the carriage trade. It still holds the prestige and charm of those wonderful days of yesteryear. The atmosphere and setting of the Huntington is something you must see and enjoy to believe. Not only all this but the price of accommodations and banquet will be substantially less than the past sev­ eral years. The ladies will be inspired by the unlim­ ited shopping facilities in Pasadena. Committeemen are planning events, activities and field trips that will be inspiring and exciting for everyone. It is our intent to make 1968 a year memorable as one of fun and pleasure. The Naitonal Tour in Durango, under the guidance of Director Peter 1968 PRESIDENT JOE STRAUB Bechtel and assisted by Orin Campion, promises. to be spectactular. Peter inspired this tour and is fol­ lowing through in grand style. Please see the center spread in this issue for details and reservation form. We have another pioneer, firm believer and un­ tiring tour chairman, in the person of Joe Morris of the Santa Clara Valley Regional Group. Joe ad­ vanced the original idea of a National One and Two Cylinder Tour over a year ago. He has the maximum support and keen interest of the entire Board in making this a most outstanding tour. There are more one and two cylinder cars being restored and conditioned at the present time than in the last several years combined. To miss this tour will be one of your everlasting regrets! Director Clarence Kay is making good progress with his plans for the Overseas Tour culminating with attendance and some participation of our own members in the London to Brighton Run in Eng­ land. More information on that tour may be had by writing to Director Kay. Your Board of Directors hope that the member­ ship can join with them in their enthusiasm and participate in every event. ~~ EXECUTIVE BOARD Left to right, top row: Roy Dovis, Treasurer; Ken Sorensen, Board Ch ~ir­ - JOE STRAUB man and Roger Ellis, Secretary.

The author has restored two antique cars. A 1903 MICHIGAN and a 1912 BUICK and has written articles for the HORSELESS CARRIAGE GAZETTE, including, "SWEET ADELINE" (Vol. 20, No. 2) and EVOLU­ TION OF THE MICHIGAN (Vol. 24, No. 1).

The sad part is that Gooseberry Hill, along with There were automobiles before I was born (1902) every other beloved spot near there, have given way but not in our neighborhood.

From one to five miles in all di­ rections, every familiar .land mark is gone, except Central Church and Cemetery, which was spared. But the following events are as vivid in my mind as if it were yesterday and I deem it a pleasure to have lived there and then. Gooseberry Hill was in the north-east corner of Sommerset Township, Jackson County, Illinois and half way between our house and Central Church. It was a lively little community of church going people and even sported a news column in the County Paper. Its heyday was around 1900-1915. I well remember the family going to church on Sunday morning and bringing the preaher home with us for chicken dinner. And coming home from church Sunday night in the two seated, two horse The NEW CENTRAL CHURCH, built in 1908. The old church in the rea r, "hack".

Doctor Horstman, in his 1908 BRUSH in front af his office in Vergennes, Ill.

I think the first car I ever touched belonged to Dr. Horstman, our family doctor, with an office in Vergennes, seven miles away. He was called to my best friend and playmate one afternoon to sew up a gash in his scalp, which he suffered while swinging in a rope swing. After he had closed the wound with eight stitches, we all went out to watch him start his automobile, a 1908 Brush. He of course needed water which was brought out in a large white pitcher. The men helped him raise the top and I remember Grandma Lybarger saying "Anyone would like to ride in anything as nice as that". Doctor Horstman was called over the "Hayseed line" which had its terminus in Vergennes. My Father, among others, bought his own telephone and kept it in repair. He received 35 shares of stock in the Company, which he paid for by running a "Seeing St. Louis" 10

One Sunday night a fellow from an adjoining neighborhood came to church in an automobile. I learned later it was a Ford six, Model K. He had no trouble getting it loaded with three or four young couples and started home, passing all the horse drawn rigs on the way. When they got to Gooseberry Hill the car refused to make it. Time after time it would get almost to the top, only to stall and back down. We learned that along toward morning it finally made it, but the event caused many a raised eyebrow, as people These girls say: "You AUTO be with us in Vergennes" learned that more than one kind of "Sparking" could be done in an automobile. telephoned Dr. Horstman in Vergennes and he came All country roads in those days were just plain in his automobile and was ready to go to work in dirt and Gooseberry Hill was no exception, except just one hour", a distance of seven miles. the clay there seemed to be just a little bit slicker The first one of our neighbors to own an auto­ when wet than anywhere else.

As I approached Gooseberry Hill, I could hear the moaning and groaning of an automobile and I came upon two men trying to pull the slick, muddy hill. I watched them make several attempts with no suc­ cess. I heard the driver say, "If we just had some mud chains we could make it". I, like any other farmer boy, wanted to be of help. I remembered that my brother-in-law, a carpenter who was building the new Greenwood School, carried chains in his I.H.C. touring car.

Either one was outstanding, as automobiles were still pretty scarce in our neigh­ borhood. One Monday morning we found an auto­ mobile tire in our front yard. This was quite a mys­ tery until it was cleared up this way. Ivan had driven the Maxwell that Sunday. It had rained and the roads were quite muddy. On his way home after dark, a tire had gone flat and come off without his knowing it. John Morgan, who was courting a girl down the road that I van had traveled, had found the tire. Knowing that Ivan's car was the only one in the neighborhood that day, picked the tire up and dropped it in our yard so Ivan could get it. The 1912 MAXWEll that lost the lire.

There is mention of the "advent of the three-piece suit as distinguished from the two-piece suit or skirt and waist combina­ tion" and a prediction that "the lingerie blouse will take a prominent place in the world of fashion." The pony coat is still chic and is especially liked in velvet.

DANCING FROCKS FOR SUMMER SOCIAL FUNCTIONS Nos. 1971-1972. Dainty gown of rose-pink mull over taffetas. The waist, No. 1971, closes at the front and has a fitted lin.ing. The front is softly shaped in sur­ plice fashion; the sleeves finish at the elbow and end with a generous ruffie of lace. The pattern is in sizes 32, '34, 36, 38 and 40 inches bust measure. Price, 15 cents. The skirt, No. 1972, is a circular gathered model in train length, m easuring 43 inches at the front and 48 inches at the back, and is cut in sizes 22, 24, 26 and 28 inches waist measure. Price, I 5 cents. For the medium size of this costume 60 yards of 42-inch material will be required. Ctepe de Chine, chiffon, mull, batiste, swiss or any one of the sheer fabrics will make up prettily after this model. The quan~ity of lace required is 2Yz yards. This is a very dainty dress for any of the formal dances or receptions given during the summer. Made in soft crepe de Chine, chiffon, painted gauze or llowered mull, with a lin~ ing and soft girdle of the same col­ ored taffetas, and any of the pearl embroidery sold by the yard; it would also be appropriate for the early Fall dances given before any definite fashions for the coming se-ason are shown. Made in plain white mull em­ broidered in shadow-work over a white lawn slip, with a girdle of soft white satill, it would be extremely dainty, and simple enough for any informal occasion. Nos. 1973-1974. Young lady's dancing frock of Alice-blue veiling. Full baby waist, showing low square neck, revealing a small yoke of lace, elbow sleeves and crosswise shirrings. The pattern is cut in sizCs 32, 34. 36 and 38 inches bust meas- ure. Price, IS cents. The skirt, which is in dancing length, is full and is gathered over the hips to form a deep yoke. The lower edge has a wide hem effect, bordered with a band of insertion. The length at the front is 42 inches and the back 45 inches long, and the pattern is cut in sizes 22, 24, 26 and 28 inches waist measure. Price, IS cents. For the medium size of this en­ tire costume 6Y, yards of material 44 inches wide and 2 yards of lace and 4 yards of insertion will be required. For a young lady of slender pro­ portions this costume is especially adapted, and will make a most charming frock for dinner, recep­ tion or dancing functions during the warm weather season at the sea­ shore, lake or mountains. A particularly dainty and simple combination of materials would be white linen batiste, with Val lace, over a foundation slip of some deli• cate shade of soft taffetas. Silk mull makes up very prettily in this mode also, and may be self­ tr-immed with wide folds of the ma­ ~erial or with white lace. And then there are the sheer white swisses, point d'esprit ·and deli­ cate nets that are to be so popular this season and are always so be­ coming and so practical, as by their aid, and two or more slips of differ­ ent colorings, one may appear to possess a delightful variety of even­ ing frocks and dancing dresses. The mode is excellent also to de­ velop in some soft pliable silk or wool veiling and to wear with a separate guimpe of mull, lace or fine India lawn, in which case the style is quite appropriate for dressy street wear during the Summer s~a­ son. 33

UNKNOWN CHASSIS FOUND AT CHINA LAKE

The Thor one cylinder engine, manufactured by the Aurora Automati~ Sir: Machinery Co., of Aurora, Ill. Here I go again wondering what I have now. I picked it up back in the hills here at China Lake. I have searched all my books and can't indentify it, although it has several good points to indentify it. First, the front fenders, then the front motor hanger and -the rear end had a aluminum shell on it but somebody has broken the aluminum off except one small piece. There are several numbers on the rear end. On the ring gear we have 10-11-9 and another place on the same gear the number 103. Then the rear suspension, look how the springs are connected to the frame. It doesn't look very solid. On the block just below the rear head is the num­ ber-5-22- and on one head is the number -895 and on another head -896. One head is complete. One has been shot full of holes and only pieces of the other two heads. Also the block has been used as a target, one side is gone. The wheel base as far as I can figure is -112 inches. The bore is -4-1/2 inches.

Two missing cylinders and broken crankcase. Unusual tubular front engine hanger.

Double scroll full elliptical rear springs. Rear axle with aluminum center housing disintegrated and missing.

• So far identification of the chassis that you found in the hills back of China Lake has eluded both Dave Rait and myself though the former spent a solid day in checking possibilities such as Black Crow, Inter­ state, Marathon and Westcott, all of the 1910 production year. So far we have found no car that combines the following characteristics: Tubular front axle Half elliptic front springs Full elliptic rear springs with scroll 112-inch wheel base Four-cylinder engine with cylinders cast in pairs Valves on right hand side of engine On front wheel hubs nine bolts in groups of three Long sloping front fenders with no curve or lip at top Perhaps the next step is to publish some of the pictures that you sent in the HORSELESS CAR­ RIAGE GAZETTE with the hope that some reader will recognize the make of the chassis.
