Henry Ford, Outstanding Figure
In Automobile World, Celebrates
list Birthday Anniversary Today

Henry Ford is seventy-one
years young today.
He was born on July 80,
1868, in the old Spring Wells
township between Dearborn and
Detroit. The old homestead still
stands. His father, William
Ford, was one of the substantial
farmers of the community.
As a boy, he showed great in
terest in mechanics. His first
venture was to take a watch apart
and put it together again. He
thought work on the farm should
be lightened and invented a steam
tractor which ran on its own
power. 1t is said that this inven-
ton led finally to the manufac-
ture of his automobile.
He worked first as an appren-
tice boy when he was sixteen
years old at a salary of $3.50 per
week at an engine works and rose
by fast stages to the position of
chief engineer of the Detroit Edi-
son Company.
Henry Ford was forty years old
before he offered the Ford car to
the world.
To date, over twenty-one mill
lion Ford cars have been sold.
Regarding Wages
Early in 1914, telegraph wires
buzzed from Detroit to bring
word to gasping world that
from that day on, the Ford mini
mum wage would be So per day
and the working day would be
eight hours in length. In 1926 he
further reduced working hours
and made the forty hour week eff
fective and stated his belief that
sin addition to higher wages,
labor must be given the leisure to
use the product Of the machine"
thus establishing a great Amer
lean industrial principle. He
states, during twenty years our
average hourly rates have quad
rupled. If wages have been
multiplied by four in the past
twenty years, then they could be
multiplied by more than that dur
ing the next twenty years.
Perhaps more than any other
man, Henry Ford has changed the
habits of the people of the South.
the rural South. Over
40 per cent of all automobiles in
the South are Fords. The effect

sible for bringing the South out
of the mud, ending the isolation
of the farmer, giving him contacts
with his neighbors on the farm

The effect upon the industrial
South has also been great in thai

from the South.
Always interested in education,
Henry Ford's support of the
Martha Berry School at Rome,
Georgia, is not so well known
though he is one of the chief sup.
porters of this great work. He
established a school at Green
field Village where boys who can
not afford to pay for an educa-
ton might learn to work with
their hands as we'll as their heads.
Here he accumulated his great
collection of early American pro-
ducts of all kinds that the pioneer
history of America might prove
an inspiration for the future. One
of Henry Ford's greatest educa-
tional works was the founding Of
the Ford Trade School where
boys are given an opportunity to
select and learn any one of the
various trades through practical
work.
Has Large Plantation
He owns a large plantation
near Savannah, Georgia, upon
which he has carried out many
experimental operations, one in
particular being the Soy Bean
which has an important use in
the manufacture of paints and
finishes for automobiles. Henry
Ford has ben a large purchaser of
Georgia marble which has been
largely used in Greenfield Viii
lage.
In the past ten years, through
the sale of Ford automobiles in
the Southeast and wages paid
Ford employees, ninety million
dollars of new wealth have been
created and left in the Southeast.
Nor does this figure include the
huge purchases of materials made
in the Southeast.
In a recent interview, Mr..
Ford was asked what was wrong
with the South. He replied: "You
have come to the wrong place il

julius F. Stone Addresses Large
Crowd Yesterday AT Bayview Park

Julius F. Stone, Jr.. Florida ad-
ministrator for the Federal Emer-
gency Relief Administration, adj
dressed an assemblage Of more
than 1000 on the meaning of the
voluntary work corps at Bayview
Park yesterday.
The speaker stressed the point
that the people of Key West must
learn to do things for themselves
before expecting others to help
and he believed, in fact felt sure,
they were beginning to do this, as
evidenced by the enrolment on
the work corps lists.
He said he thought it would be
a great idea to emphasize the
Spanish atmosphere throughout
the city, in business places and in
all lines. Make the appearance of
the stores more colorful. Have all
signs in stores and in front of
business places in both English
and Spanish.
If the business is Spanish or
Cuban, have a sign in the language
above and one in English below. If
the place of business is American,
have the upper signs in English
and those below in Spanish.
He is satisfied that if all of the
clerks in the stores were dressed
in neat costumes and carried some
suggestion of Latin America the
