THANKSGIVING
"a Historical Survey.)

1000 B. c.:
-Four thousand years ago, the farmers in Pales-
tine had an odd way of giving thanks for an
abundant harvest. They would allow stalks Of
wheat, barley and lentils stand in the field at
harvest time in order that the poor might har-
vest it and have sufficient food for the winter.
A feeling Of responsibility for the welfare OF his
fellowmen was his and he couldn't think Of har-
vesting a bumper crop without seeing that the
poor were taken care OF for the coming year.
1882:
The Pilgrim fathers, after their first harvest
felt so thankful for the splendid harvest that they
invited the whole community along with neigh
boring indians for three-day feast. Not one
person went hungry during tiat time for they
felt their Thanksgiving was seeing that the en-
tire community had enough to eat.
1888:
Today we thank God for an abundant harvest
by destroying wheat crops, blowing under cot
ton and throwing hogs in the river while mil
lions are hungry and naked. In doing SO the
poor have no more than they had before and
prices skyrocketed so that many who could buy
the necessities Of life must now go hungry for
their wages have not kept pace with rising
prices. Today men who have more than enough
feel no responsibility toward their fellow men.
They sit at grooming boards while millions groan
for a crust of bread in our city streets. They
drive to their churches, decked in furs, in heated
limousines, to give thanks to God for his good
ness to them, blind to the half naked wretch,
shivering in some soup line thanking God for his
cup of coffee and bowl Of weak Cruel.
Yet they call this civilization. They call this
progress. They call this culture. They call this
a Christian land. The man of 1000 years ago
who shared his crop with the less fortunate
showed more religion, more Thanksgiving and
more intelligence than a Christian State who send
shivering men to dig frozen ground at 90 cents
an hour while it pays farmers to destroy wheat,
corn, cotton and hogs. It might do we'll for our
President, on this Thanksgiving day to force his
brain trusters to study the men of 1000 years
ago, who realized that what they enjoyed came
from God and since it came from the Giver Of
all good gifts they could not enjoy them until
they knew that none of their fellowmen went
hungry and naked.

WEEKLY COST
OF JOB RELIEF
CWA Fund Sinking Fast:
New Millions to Be Given
for Projects.

By United Press
WASHINGTON. Dec. 27.-Civil
works projects employing approx
imately 4,12O,OOO men and women
are costing the government an av-
erage of s5O,OOO.OOO a week, it was
estimated from unofficial reports to-
day.
Pay roll figures were not available.
The estimate was based on eX-
penditures from an original allot-
ment of 100000 900 made to the
CWA from the public works fund.
The CWA is six weeks old, but its
weekly cost has risen to the S50,000.-
900 mark in the last two weeks.
Its fund is expected to be ex-
hauSted in about six weeks, then
replenished with an additional
$3.50 100000 to continue the work
we'll into spring.
Wisconsin, Ohio and Indiana have
greatly exceeded their eva employ
ment quotas, indicating that the
original goal of the civil works pro-
gram had been exceeded by 10000.

Growing Stealing Hazard Is
Pointed Out by
Expert.
By Times Special

By Times Special
NEW YORK, Dec. Embarrassing
vigilance of automobile owners to
offset a possibly growing theft haz-
ard, was advised today by Walton
H. Griffith, manager of the auto
mobile department of the Cont
mental and the Fidelity-Pnenix Fire
Insurance Companies.
The likelihood of greater activity
by car thieves is seen in a combina-
ton of widely recognized conditions.
The two chief factors are increased
reliance upon the automobile for
transportation, and a comparative
shortage in the supply of cars de-
sired and afforded
During the years of the depres-
sion," said Mr.. Griffith, while the
sale of new cars diminished greatly,
old ones were made to last longer.
Wear and obsolescence have taken
their toll, particularly among the
older machines. The later ones, be-
ing models of the depression years,
are available in much smaller num-
bers. Yet a large percentage of
prospective used car buyers will
want cars of relatively recent make.
1t is this probable disparity between
demand and supply, which will be
the incentive of thieves.
The effect of market conditions
on the activities of car thieves, is

in design and carrying low air pres
sures, contribute their full share to
the glide qualities of the ride and the
ease and safety with which the car
is handled. Moreover, they are abb
solutely noiseless in travel.
Second only in Importance to the
features contributing to literally
perfect riding quality are the power
brakes.
Fisher no-draft ventilation is
standard on all Buick cars. In the
1884 lines new and improved type
is available.
Prices, as announced today by
President Harlow H. Curtice, vary
only slightly compared TO prices of
1888 models. The slight increase is
due to the increasing prices of ma
terials, states Mr. Curtice, and is so
Slight that they are hardly no.
ticeable.
Prices for series so range from
81 ,O45 and to $1,165. All models are
on a 119-inch wheelbaSe,
The series so models range from
81, 300 and to $1,575, and are on 1866
inch wheelbase.
Series 90 models range from ST.
745 to $2,055, and are on 138-inch
wheelbaSe.
Nothing has been omitted from
the 1884 Bucks that can contribute
still further to pride of ownership
and to the luxury, comfort, safety
and economy of operation of every
car in the line.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1933-12-27
Auto Theft Insurance Is
Urged to Protect Public

not merely theoretical. In an i'm
portant western city the theft of
less expensive cars has reached such
proportions as to prove a serious
problem to the police and to bring
about stiff increases in the cost of
insurance protection. Drastic rene
dies are being worked out with the
hope of relief.
Officers of the law are we'll aware
of it. Captain Dillon of the detec-
tive division of the New York city
automobile squad points it out very
clearly. The automobile thief, Cap
tain Dillon says, seems to feel the
public pulse and plies his trade with
cars he considers the best sellers.
He seems to keep pace with the
f1uctuating demands for various
makes.
Captain Dillon and all officers
combating this crime, have called
upon the public for cooperation.
Assistance can be given, not only
by persons to whom stolen machines
are offered for sale, but also by
owners themselves"
The owner who is fully aware of
the dangers of theft, Mr. Griffith
believes, is most likely to take pre-
cautions against being victimized.
Frequently, of course, the greatest
possible care proves insufficient to
prevent theft, by the shrewd, high
ly skilled and often daring crooks.
Obviously, Mr.. Griffith concludes,
theft insurance is the final protec-
ton for the car owner against loss
in such cases.

FORD TRUCK SALES

BIZ Times Special

By Times Special
DETROIT, Mich, Dec. 27.-Re-
duction in Ford truck prices an
nounced at the time of the presen-
tation of the new Ford Va cars for
1884 is the first break in the general
upward swing in motor car price
levels, it is pointed out at the Offices
of the Ford Motor Company.
The reductions were effective on
all types of both commercial cars
and trucks, ranging from IS to SIS
on the Va commercial car models
and from SIS to as high as $40 on
the trucks. Seventy-fve per cent of
all Ford trucks now being sold are
powered with va engines, it was
said.
In addition to the actual reduc-
lions in prices, bumpers were also
made standard equipment for the
first time, their cost being absorbed
in the list prices, thus effecting a
further actual lowering of cost to
the purchaser.
With announcement of the reduc-
tons, the Ford organization began
vigorous campaign of truck sales.

Commenting on this. development
in the tax situation, E. P. Gal
breath, division manager for the
company here, said:
"Since the taxing of gasoline
began, many increases in price have
had to be made because of increases
in tax. To be reducing prices be-
cause of lowered tax is a new ex-
perience. The burden of such tax
alton has become unjust to the
motorist and one of the principal
handicaps to sound business in the
oil industry. We hope this reduc-
ton may be the beginning of a
trend toward more reasonable gas

Bumpy Roads
Belgian Blocks Used by
General Motors.

Any one who ever has driven or
ridden over a cobblestone street in an
automobile, for even block or two,
will have feeling of sympathy for
the test drivers who ever since the
Belgian block test roads were in
stalled here at the General Motors
proving grounds, have been pound
ing over them in the conducting of
durability tests. For the famous
Belgian block road is about five
times as severe as the toughest road
the average motorist will ever en-
counter.
Up to this year, this sympathy
would not have been wasted for
those men who drove the stiff front
axle cars over the cobbleS, found the
strain so great that after an hour
and a half of driving they had to
be replaced by relief drivers. But
this year it is different, for the test
drivers who handled the new knee
action" Oldsmobiles on the Belgian
block roads drove their regular
eight-hour shift without any sign of
fatigue, according to L. G. Burnett,
indianapolis, zone manager.
In the first year that OldsmobileS
were tested on the Belgian block
road, the cars would on the average
stand about 1000 miles of this Cruel
ling punishment before it was neces-
sary to pull them" for adjustments.
However, the new knee action"

I'VE can not fix a, price on our

read. I'VE do not believe it possible
to build an automobile to meet a

possible and until it is finished and
we know the manufacturing costs,
we can not arrive at a selling price.
I'VE have decided that it should

field something decidedly more than
just another low price car"
