For Good of
 the Community

II n NNUIED by the heated term and lack II G of the spectacular in performance, one might call current happenings what is known in the parlance of the newspa- per world as "dull pickings" Super ficially that is so but, under closer ob- servance, it is otherwise
 One thing, if not spectacular, was big enough to arouse any state from lethargy That was the definite and businesslike proposal of Henry Ford for lease and use of Muscle Shoals and the statement of a business man of Herbert Hoover's sagac- ity to the effect that this proffer proves the project to be of commercial value" Not in generations has any Alabama asset received a stronger indorsement. Muscle Shoals in it's complete panoply of service is now dead certainty of the not distant future. It stands before the na- tion logical sequitur from which there is no loophole by the most cunning of opponents.
 We began the week by sending great Alabama-made ship, forged out of the red ores of Jefferson county, to China with 5000 tons of Birmingham steel rails for the Manchurian railroad.
 A day or so later we sailed another ship out of Mobile with a like amount of Birmingham rails and other steel prod ucts for the railroad being built in Alas ka. Almost simultaneous shipments of the make of our mills to the furthest off point on the globe and the furthest off point in this country.
 And while we were sending our stuff far afield in ships, the new car plant at Fairfield, which began operations only month ago, turned out it's first finished product. A standard steel freight car rolled out of the shops on it's own wheels on to che tracks of the Louisville and Nashville, to take it's part in distribution of the factory and mill output of the dis trict
 Right significant and encouraging also to realize that this big car shop is operat- ing at capacity at time when industries in other parts of the country are barely going at all.
 The big pipe shop of the United States Cast Iron Pipe company and the shop of the Emory Pipe company in Anniston re- sumed operations during the week, testi- flying to better feeling in the high pressure and sanitary pipe markets.
 The Cordova coal terminals were com pleted during the week and Port of Cor dova thus becomes an important depot for the shipping of Alabama coal to gulf ports for bunker, domestic and export purposes. A real inland port at the head of navigation on the Warrior more than 400 miles from the gulf A place from which goods brought up river from gulf ports are distributed to five states at a saving of 20 per cent of the freight rate
 Birmingham coal interests went out last week and booked the Texas coal con- tract of the Cotton Belt road.
 The Welded Steel Products company increased it's capital stock during the week. It has been here only couple of years, but, like otherWell-conducted Bir- mingham enterprises, it is a success and is branching out on the foundation of that success.
