 The subject of repsal was net mentioned by Ford or other com- pany officials, but the incidents cf the occasion gave rise to the be- lief that the manufacturer had re- signed himself in a measure 10 the desire of a majority of taa public for the return of legalizs i drinking.
 Ford's own state went dry before prohibition, but was the first 10 vote for repeal this year and will have its own liquor control laws.
 Ford has been a consistent Dry throughout his career and took th Q lead in making Dearborn "as dry as the Sahara Desert He was bitter against drinking among his own employees and once announc- ed: We don't allow anyone around here to have liquor or to mix it with his work"
 After Ford's campaign with the police in l930 to dry up Dearborn, bootlsggers fought shy of Ford workers and refused to sell them liquor.
 Incidentally, it was announced at the preview that the prices of the new 1884 models would be in- creased S5 to $35 on passenger cars and reduced from $10 to SEQ on commercial cars.

The Headline Writer

If anything stood out in the eolorful career of Frederick C. Bonfls, wealthy pub fisher of the Denver Post. it was his news paper work. Upon it he placed perhaps more emphasis than on anything else that he did. To him it was the alpha and omega of his life. Bonfis himself had distinct flair for headline writing. Of course there are are all sorts of stories told about him in newspaper offices by men who worked with him and by men who heard only gossip. But it is reasonably certain that when the occasion demanded it Bonhls was quick to seat himself at a copy desk and take charge of the headlines that his paper was to haunt that day.
 It is related that one time the Denver Post became interested in Pacific ocean air flight. It followed the naval alrmen very closely. When it appeared that they were lost enroute the Post played the search for them for all it was worth. After ten days came the glad tidings that they were found. It was Bonfils moment and he seized it, as we'll as pencil from headline writer Across the first page of the Denver Post that day appeared this eight column stream CT in large type-"Bless God They're Safe." That was d typical Bonhs' head, No doubt there are hundreds more that this agile brain conceived.
 One of his earnest convictions was that hometown newspaper was printed to give the home town news. That's why he once gave instructions to his staff that "A dog fight in Champ street ton which the Post building is loeated) is better than d war abroad" It's policy to which nine out of every ten newspaper publishers will sub scribe Bonhls was born in Troy, N. '. where his father was probate judge, His fathers name was Eugene Napoleon Bonhs and it is said that Bonhls grandfather played as boy with Napoleon Bonapartc in Cor siea. Bor6ls was at the boundary line for the opening of Oklahoma territory; he was a lottery operator until Uncle Sam legislatcd it out of existence. Later on he erusaded against lotteries in Denver, The Fourth Es- tate eventually claimed him and kept his in. terest 10 the end.

Patriotic Program For America

The Boy Scouts of America has taken the initiative in project which deserves the cooperation and support of all good eiti- zens, namely, an extension of its activities in a Ten Year Program designed to build body of genuinely patriotic citizens. thor oughly devoted to the public welfare and entirely committed to the advancement of the public interest
 This Ten Year intensive program was officially launched on January lst. It is to run for the decade lo33-l942. By the end of that period the Boy Scouts of Amer iea plan to be training enough boys as Scouts So that as they reach q years of age not less than one of every four of the new male citizens shall have been a four-year. Seout-trained man prepared to perform his new duties upon the basis of Scout principles and ideals.
 It is widely known fact that Boy Scout ing has proved an effective agency in the lives of millions of boys. There is ample testimony to the benefits to the boyhood of America that followed the promulgation of the Scout plan twenty-three years ago when Scouting was first launched in America Now with the Scout Ten Year Plan there is equal certainty that there will be more participating citizens all with Scout train ing, and it is fair to assume there should be less violation of law and more unsefish service for others. h never hurt any boy to be Boy Scout. With that thought jn mind the Boy Scouts of America has done a wise thing 10 emphasize the launching of this new program for its twenty-third anniversary celebration which falls February 8-l4, l933,
