deadens metallic engine noises.
The new timing gears in both
the V-8 and 6 cylinder engines
are made of laminated cloth im-
pregnated with bakelite resins
and moulded under extreme
pressure.
Another important improve-!
ment in the. 1950 Ford engine|
is the use of better insulated
high tension wires to the spark
plugs. An improved arrange-
ment of these wires also pre-
vents cross firing.
A feature of the new auto-
thermic type pistons is the steel
strut which is cast into the al-
uminum piston and which con-
trols expansion so the piston
cannot become tight when heat-
ed or loose when cold. The pis-
tons eliminate engine slap, pro-
duce a great deal less friction
and add to the life of the en-
gine.
Where the former pistons had
to be fitted with a certain
amount of play to prevent scor-
ing, the new pistons are being
fitted as close as .0005 of an
inch clearance. The new piston
also has its pin offset one-six-
teenth of an inch toward the
thrust side as an aid in el-
iminating piston noise.
Improved performance of the
engine with the new pistons
installed provides an even
smoother flow of power than in
previous models.
Other quality features of the
1950 Ford V-8 engine include:
hardened valve seat inserts for
exhaust valves; duplex water
pump and series flow cooling,
insuring against hot spots; extra
cal area must still put up two-
thirds of the entire cost.
Several hospitals have been
completed in Texas under the
program. Other projects are
currently under construction
throughout the State.

the various states, to which the
federal money is appropriated,
makes the money available to
local areas for hospital or public
health center construction, if a
survey shows the area is in
need of such facilities.
As of October, when the
Amendment became effective,
the states will put up half the
money for new construction, and
the local area, in which the
hospital or public health center
is to be built, must provide the
other half of the total construc-
tion costs.
Prior to October, the states
put up only one-third, and the
local area was held responsible
for raising two-thirds of the
total construction costs. On new
projects which had been ap-
proved prior to October, the lo*
More Money For
Building Health
Centers, Hospitals
More money is now available
for building hospitals and health
centers in Texas, State Health
Officer Geo. W. Cox has an-
nounced.
Federal money channeled to
the states for hospital construc-
tion has been increased from $75
to $150 million, and the program
of federal assistance to hospital
construction has been extended
through the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1955. The increase in
time and money is contained in
an ammendment to the Hospital
Survey and Construction Act.
Under provisions of the Act,
