A revolution in land travel is coming with the per

stainless steel, the car is engineered to be driven
on paved roads, then can be lowered into a mo

WHO DOES?
VAN NUYS, Calif., OP — Philip
Norsen of Van Nuys reluctantly
mailed in his fine for a jay-walk
ing ticket.
And! he didn’t like it.
“I strongly deny any such in
terference with traffic,” he wrote.
“At my age, 70, shouldn’t I be
given a medal rather than a ticket

Dachshund Used to
Survey Storm Drains
REDONDO BEACH, Calif. M—
Surveying storm drains used to
be hard work.
Workers had to throw or shake
a survey tape through under
ground pipes to determine their
length.
Then along came Gretchen, a 15
pound black and brown Dachs
hund.
With a tape measure attached
to her collar, she patters through
the drains while measurements
are taken from the length of tape
paid out.
Dean Salazar of nearby Tor
rence, owner of the dog and head
of survey work on installing
drains, merely lowers Gretchen
into a hole and she takes over.
He claims the Dachshund does
the job 75 per cent faster than
men used to do it.
Gretchen’s pay: A heaping dish
of ice cream.
Salazar checks the dogs meas
urements against the contractors’
figures to determine the exact
amount of pipe to be oaid for
when drains are installed or im
proved.
Gretchen has been used on
about 20 projects, and her figures
have been proven to be accurate.
Once, however, Salazar watch
ed the tape reel out and decided
Getchen’s measurement was a bit
extravagant.
That was the time she chased
! a field mouse through a half
mile of drain.
