Lions Club Hear
Interesting Talk
On Garage Work

Robert u, Stewart. Jr., spoke last
evening at the meeting of the Lions
Club on his ella ssifcation as n garage
man and his talk proved very instruc-
tive and interesting, Mr., Stewart de-
clared that it is the duty of the garage
man to give service to the public IN
every possible way. Tho garage man
should not stop with the sole of the
car to the man. but he should follow
the sale up by keeping a check on the
car to be sure that It's service is sat-
isfactory. and in this way keep the Gus
toner satisfied and coming to his gar
age.
He felt that the fat rate system of
charging for repairs on cars was COM
ing into this district soon as 1t had
proved very satisfactory wherever
tried. The owner of car likes to
know what the bill will be when the
car is brought in for repairs and under
the fiat rate system every item Is hs-
ured out in advance, and it is easy to
add up the costs of various items that
enter into that particular repair job.
and so tell the customer Just how much
the Job will cost. The present guess
work system in vogue at most places
Is very unsatisfactory.
clean garage and clean and cour-
teous mechanics also are great aids,
and aid in keeping customer satisfied.
The workshop end OF the game is the
most unsatisfactory for a check must
be made Of every bolt and piece of
waste used. for II the garage man does
not keep n check on these items 1t will
face a deficit at the end of the year.
Plans were discussed for charter
night. and President Walter Austin.

and George f. Terrell were named as

Radio in the Farm Home

The number of radio receiving out
fits now IN use in farm homes
amounts to hundreds of thousands.
Market reports and weather reports
are received daily over the radio at
stated hours. In the evenings the
same little instrument brings to the
farmer and his family political dis
cussions. concerts and lectures and
on Sundays sermons and good church
music.
Most of the Injuries purchased by
the farmer are paid for dearly but
this need not be the case with the
radio. More than half. perhaps, two
thirds. of the receiving outfits now in
use in the cities and in the country
have been constructed by school boys.
We have heard of one teacher in a
rural high school who organized
class in radio at the beginning of
the last school year with the re-
suit that there are now 33 radio re-
ceivlng sets in successful operation in
that community. all having been
built by the students. not one of the
outfits costing over $40 for material.
Any boy on the farm who desires
to build n receiving set may get full
