CHEVROLET MOTOR CARS
63,458 Chevrolet Passenger Cars
Registered During Month of April

Passenger car registrations for
April place Chevrolet in the lead
for the second consecutive month,
according to Motor Statistics re-
leased by r. l.. Polk and Company.
Chevrolet registered 63,458 pas
senger cars during April or 1872
per cent of price class. This April
figure shows an increase of 1852
units over the March registration
figure when Chevrolet led the en-
tire industry in passenger cars by
registering 5O,796 units or 3S.3 per
cent of price class. Chevrolet main
tanned the lead in the commercial
car and truck field, making an i'm
pressive showing by registering
15,O5O units in April. Total regis
trations of Chevrolet commercial
cars and trucks for the year
through April were 49,797 units,
47.4 per cent Of weight class. Reg
istration figures for March and
April definitely establish Chevrolet
as Americas fastest selling car
and forecast another year of Chew
rolet dominance in the automotive
industry. Chevrolet has led the
industry in sales during five of the
last seven years.

PORT PENN ROAD DAMAGES
Dredge May be Used to Blow Fill
Under the Road For Permanency

1t is reported at Delaware City
and at Port Penn that the State
Department will make
efforts to correct the trouble on
the new concrete road between
Delaware City and Port Penn
which is sinking in the marshy
area near the Port Penn end of
the road. The trouble started last
August when the high waters
washed over the road for several
days and partially undermined the
roadbed causing the concrete for
a stretch of several hundred yards
to sink several feet in places.
While the road has sunk here and
there it seems as if the concrete
has settled with the fill under the
road without breaking. 1t is be-
lieved that few more bad storms
or washouts along the road, how
ever, will cause the concrete to
drop a little more which would
cause it to break. Reports are
that a dredge will be brought into
the marsh and blow new fill under
the roadbed and along the sides
and the road raised several feet.
The only places serious washouts
have occurred are in the low area
about a half mile to a mile from
Port Penn.

Among the scriptural selections
in the lesson-sermon are the vers-

world, the love of the Father is not
in him. For all that is in the world,
the lust of the flesh, and the lust
of the eyes, and the pride of life,
is not of the Father, but is Of the
world. And the world passeth

COMMUNISTS AGAIN


Dispatches from the strike field in
Rhode Island, where violence has crop
ped out to such an extent that the use of
federal troops is threatened, indicate the
presence of Communists taking advan-
: tage of labor dispute to further their
own ends.
Governor Green of Rhode Island echoes
8 the charge made by Governor Merriam
! of California during the San Francisco
strike, by charging flatly that the Rhode
3 Island riots are the work of Communist
: agitators.
: The Rhode Island governor charges
the "reds" with conducting a program ito
upset our established government"
Californians, at least, will not ques-
ton the governors charge. We have
had ample proof of the extent of Com
munistic operations in this state and it
is not in the least surprising to find
them active in the east.
There are enough sound, sober, level
headed and patriotic Americans to pre-
vent the Communists from. ever achiev-
ing their object-the overthrow of the
government-but this is not good reas-
on why the comparatively small num-
Der of Communists should be permitted
to cause trouble for the country.
1t is encouraging to note that the at
tention of several large national organ
izations has been directed to the matter
of Communists and that these organi-
zations have actively entered the fight
to combat Communism.
No longer will it do to dismiss COM
munism as an idle gesture. The situa-
tion has gone beyond that. The Com
munists are active every day and every
minute of the day for just one purpose
the cause. 1t is time for the rest of
US to be just as active in counteracting
and combating their dangerous doe
trines.
Testimony that the munitions makers
profited heavily by the World war,
doesn't come exactly as surprising news.
The best news in long time was the
headline World series date set"
Two more days, kids, and then your
troubles begin.
