Numerous of these areas

The largest fire raging out ;

I was fortunate to be one of three local newsmen afforded a grand junket around much of Tahoe National
cooks to work at fire campsites.
Three other blazes set by
the storm are in the Downieville area. A 150 acre brush

The catalist inthe muffler

a very inexpensive chemical
compound, Jenison said,
Jenison was spurred not only
from a desire forclean, fresh
air but also from a desire for
safety. In 1952 while motoring near Guerneyville, Calif,
Jenison witnessed a fatal
automobile accident which
was caused in part by-the
driver's view being obstructed by heavy diesel exhaust
from a large truck.
The Grass Valley inventor
also revealed that one of the
three largest auto-manfacturesin the U.S. is interested
in his new auto muffler.
