RACING CLASSIC AT
LANGHORNE, Oct. IL


Philadelphia George Fonder.
colorful midget auto race driver
from Lansdale. Pa, has signified
his intentions of bidding for Top
honors in the 100-mile National
championship by submitting his en-
try for that outstanding classic at
Langhorne Speedway on Sunday,
October IL.
Fonder started annexing midget
auto race championships back in
1941, his second season in the sport.
During the 1941 campaign the Lans-
dale ace won the Eastern A. A. A.
championship That same year ne
annexed the New England crown
and then came the second World
War.
Returning to competition in 1945,
Fonder ran second to Larry Bloom
er in the East. He repeated in 1916
as eastern runnerup and also won
the Southern title under ARDC
sponsorship, This season George is
/ again in the running for sectional
championships over the entire east
ern circuit. Driving the Caccia Off
enhauser, he has double triumphS
at most of the ADRC tracks and has
won five features at the Yellow
Jacket Speedway.
Hawley. knight, a Philadelphia
veteran of Is years in the auto race
game, has joined Fonder, Duncan,
Christopher, Favinger, Fair and
Fortein on the raidly-swelling en-
try list for the 10O-mile midget auto
! grind at Langh0rne
Never an especially standout per-
former, Knight, nevertheless, has
always managed to finish near the
leaders. A veteran of the dirt tracks
he should find the going in the
championship marathon to his lik-
ing. Driving the worlds fastest mile
ovel, situated on the Lincoln High
way between Philadelphia and
Trenton, will be no new experience
TO the Quaker City ace.
Time trials for the century
championship contest will be rur
on Saturday, October II, starting
at II o'clock noon. AS in the pas
for events at Langhorne, Pic viii
run special buses on race day from
Frankford Ave. and Pratt ST., direc

says the National Geographic So

French colonization in North

Frances second largest city and its

mates give Marseille about 10000

Town, and their dynamite charge!
leveled the historic area. In tn.
face Of Allied invasion in August
1914, they completed demolition o.
the port.
The Old Town had an Italiar
appearance. Along its ancient
twisting streets mingled Spaniards
Algerians, Moroccans, Senegalese
Greeks, Annamites. Visitors saw 9
potpourri of people and sampled
strange seafoods raw at open-ail
stalls or tasted authentic bouilla-
baisee in waterfront restaurants.
The original port of Marseille is
well-sheltered. 70-acre inlet AS
trade volume grew, jetties we're built
and some 500 acres of deep anchor
age were developed. The Rove, q
4h- mile tunnel through a rocky
hill northwest of the city, pro-
vided a small-craft route to docks
on the big Berre salt lagoon, and
completed shortcut to Rhone
River waterways.
Industries Developed.
The passing parade Of raw mate
rials naturally caused industries to
spring up in the port. Marseille took
to refining sugar and petroleum, to
smelling iron and other metals, to
making machinery, chemicals, tex
tiles, food products, soap and leather
goods. Import and export houses
became numerous.
Back from the timeworn build
ings and narrow streets where the
port industry settled lie promenades
with public buildings and fine homes.
Famous are the Prado and the
Canebiere, which leads inland to
the city's mountain backdrop. The
