Thanks to Father Hyde

We, the Catholics of Arvada,
eesire hereby to thank Father
Hyde for saying mass for us on
New Years day, and also to ex-
press our appreciation of his
kindly thought for us in giving
us the 'beneit'of the three mass
es it was his privilege to say on
Christmas day.
In the past, when we were OBJ
liged to go to Berkeley. it was
always a source of regret to US
that two and often three hours
of time were wasted in going and
returning, and it was a real hap
piness to spend the time in wor-
ship instead of in travelling on
Christmas day.
While our finances would not
permit costly decorations, the
skill and labor of Mrs. Kather-
inc Jeffreys and Miss Camilla
Fink had transformed the hum
BILE little hall in which we hear
mass into a veritable bower of
beauty, which smiled Christ
welcome to all and warmed up
the Christmas spirit in every
heart. 1t is surprising what ar
tistic effects can be secured with
only crepe paper and potted
plants to work with. Mrs. JEFF
freys and Miss Fink certainly
have just cause to be proud of
their work.

Some Ford Pointers

No matter how carefully a mot
or has been tested before assem-
bly, it is always hard to start
when the assembling is finished.
This has always meant laborious
cranking or the spinning of the
motor by a self starter in the
plants whose product is equipped
with a starter.
The difficulty was solved at the
Ford plant IN Detroit in a unique
manner. Pulley wheels reyolv-
ing at a high rate of speed were
sunk flush with the floor in the
assembly room. When a car has
been set up land in the rush sea
son they are going through at the
rate of about 1000 per day. no
effort is spent in turning the en-
gine by ordinary means but the
rear wheels are placed on the
floor pulleys, after the gears have
been meshed. This soon. warns
the motor and when the first
puff of the exhaust Announces that
the engine is running itself, the
car is released from the pulleys
and runs out on the loading plat
form.
