Six Million Children
In Junior Red Cross

The year 1929 marks the tenth
anniversary of the founding of the
American Junior Red Cross. There
are now Junior Red Cross societies
IN forty-one nations, all pledged in
The common cause of service to
heir fellows.
Membership in the American
Junior Red Cross in the United
States and insular possessions is
5,S7S,000. and is largely through
grade and high schools and private
schools. The organization is gov
erned by the boys and girls. One
Of its chief features is conduct of
international correspondence with
schools of other nations, through
exchange OF albums and small gifts
The American Juniors sent $4,000
Christmas boxes of small gifts to
children of many nations last year.
The American Junior Red Cross
gained 349,17l in membership last
year.

RED CROSS ROLL CALL BEGUN
Aim to Enroll Ten Per Cent of
Population of the Community

Once more this great National
Organization of the American Red
Cross has set period in which
the people throughout these United
States may renew their member
ship and enroll themselves as help
ers in an organization whose motto
could be summed up in the one
word Service. To quote from ar
ticles given in the Red Cross Cour-
ier, "The Red Cross is organized
unselfishness" "It is a Moral In
surance in that it urges each giver
to share with others the blessings
he has received; "a National In
surance Supported by the people
who take pride in it as a National
Institution; "A Personal Insur-
ance supported from the pocket of
the Individual" 1t is a voluntary
organization. No one joins who
has not read with sympathy, an
account of grievious distress it
may be one individual, or to a town
city, state or even nation, the i'm
pulse is to aid but how? The Red
Cross is the reply to all questions
for the Red Cross is the organ
lied heart of America, animated
by the warmth and generosity of
Americans and prompt and effec-
tive as they like to be. AS in prev
ious years the town Of Smyrna will
be districted and canvassers have
begun their work beginning on
Monday, November 18th. The aim
of every community is to enroll 10
per cent of its population. Let
Smyrna go over the top this year
of 1929.

CHEVROLET MAKE HIGH TEST
IL Test Cars Driven Between 3d.
OGO and $4,000 Miles

Chevrolet test cars at General
Motors Proving Ground have al
ready been driven upwards of five
million miles, according to James
M. Crawford, chief engineer of the
company, who declared last week
that use of this vast outdoor Ia
boratory has been one of the prin-
cipal reasons for Chevrolet's con-
sistent success IAN average of
II test cars are in constant opera
ton, purring up steep inclines-
plowing through sand, mud and
snow, driving into the teeth of
heavy winds, testing speed and en-
durance on the track and subject
ing themselves to every known
performance trial." he said. These
cars are not retired until they
have been driven between 10000
and $4,000 miles, after an ex-
perimental model attains this mile
age it goes to the experimental la
boratory to be dismantled. Every
paprt is inspected. all evidences of
wear noted. If a detail is not as
it should be, work start immedi-
ately developing new part or
process to replace the old. "The
ne wfeature is then built in an en-
tirely new car OF three new cars
if the operation is vital and this
in turn is subjected to the Proving
Ground tests. This cycle contin-
ues until we have complete salts
faction. In the case of the new
six, 100 different experimental
models were tested over period of
four years. ''In addition to using
the Proving Ground to develop new
models and engine features, Chew
rolet uses it constantly for check
ing production cars, and it is this
phase of the work that is perhaps
the most interesting to the public.
I'm order to get an unbiased opin-
ion of these production jobs, they
are selected at random the ship
ping platform at Flint and put di-
rectly on the Proving Ground. Here
they are given a general check be-
fore going on the regular schedule.
After every thousand miles for
the first 5000 miles they are rid
den by the engineers. After this
they are ridden at only 5000 mile
intervals. Performance checks are
carefully computed after 1000, s.
600 and 10000 miles. At the end
of 10000 miles they are complete
ly dismantled and all parts are
thoroughly inspected. I'm this
way chart is set up showing the
progress made in. design and man.
ufacturing practice from month to
month and year to year. Follow
up work on these production cars
brings out forcibly the cooperation
that exists between the manufac-
turing and engineering depart
ments Not only do the engineers
have reports on these cars but the
manufacturing division receives
separate reports from its own or
