SAFETY IS NOW
THE WATCHWORD
OF THE MOTORIST

Safety-long a watchword among
autmobile manufacturers is at
tracing unprecedented attention from
the motoring public, according to one
of the leading engineers in the in
dustry.
There was a time, according to Fl.
T. Youngren, chief engineer of Odds
mobile, when automobile manufactur-
ers appeared to take more serious in
terest in the safety factors of motor
car design than did the driving pub
lie. Of recent years, however, he
says that the average motorist has
grown extremely safety conscious
and welcomes every new mechanical
aid to safe driving.
"This was especially evident at the
automobile shows recently held thru
out the country" Mr.. Youngren said.
"New car prospects and casual visi-
tors alike fingered long over new SAT-
ETY. devices and discussed them at
length with display attendants at the
shows.
zone development that seemed to
draw more attention than any other
feature of our exhibits was the Odds
mobile Safety Instrument Unit and
Safety Dash. The idea of grouping
all instruments and gauges directly in
front of the driver and just below his
line of vision appeared to meet gen
eral approval. The safety advantage
of this design, of course, is that il
minimizes distraction from the road.
"Of special interest too, was the
new Oldsmobile Automatic Safety
Transmission. This revolutionary new
device, which reduces driving to it!
simplest and safest terms, offers {
major advancement in motoring secur
ity by permitting two-handed steering
at all tines
Sharing public interest with thes'
outstanding developments, Mr.. Young
rem said, were such body features a
safety interiors, safety plate glass
steel body, steel top and floor constru
ton: while mechanical improvement
in knee-action design, super-hydrauli
brakes and road illumination also drew
frequent comment from the SHOW
crowds.

HER RECOMPENSE

The last "Now 1 lay me" is uttered,
and the children snug in bed,
With wonderful dreams of Kriss Krin-
gle filling each small, curly head;
The last mysterious package has
emerged from it's hiding place,
And the ornaments brought from the
attic, the Christmas tree to grace ;
And when it has been decorated, from
the ceiling to the floor;
The stockings filled SO completely they
will not hold anything more;
When the gifts for Dad, and the chill
dren, which were chosen so lovingly,
Are carefully tagged, and arranged
beneath the glittering tree;
Then Mother picks up the wrappings
that clutter the tables and chairs,
And make everything nice and tidy
before ascending the stairs,
And, though her tasks have been many
she forgts the wearisome day;
For the children's joy, on the morrow,
will all her labor repay.
Alma Gertrude Hurley.

throughout the country indicate that
the workmen and employees in an in
elusive tabulation of the more impOr-
tant industries are getting about 81
per cent of all the national income,
which is apparently larger percent
age than labor has ever received be-
fore. Workers of the country have
from 9 to. Is per cent and more buy
ing power than in 1929.
The automobile industry is given
credit by statisticians for the steady
upswing of American business that
led the country out of the woods onto
the road of recovery. The iron and
steel industry has remarkable aver
age of nearly one-third more produc-
ton this year than last. Despite the
fact that the automobile industry has
suffered greater harrassment by strik-
es than any other branch of manufac-
turing it has for many years been the
nerve center of American business,
because every locality is concerned in
the affairs of people who operate 3d.
100000 cars on the highways. It is
therefore encouraging to note the con
tinued improvement in industrial rela-
lions in that industry between en-
ployes and employers. At the pres
ent time labor leaders are yielding to
the demands of cool-headed workmen
in trying to maintain the sanctity of
contracts with employers.

UPS AND DOWNS
ARE MATTERS OF
Pure FIGURING

How the ups and downs of the peo-
pie of our country are affected by the
changes in business condition seems
to be only a matter of simple arith-
metic for that mysterious profession,
that we call "statisticians."
Government statisticians tell us that
business conditions are on the aver
age nearly 10 per cent better than a
year ago. But there are shadows on
the sun of prosperity in half-dozen
middle-western states and another
half-dozen states throughout the un-
ion, including New York.

RADIANT LIVING
He Can Not Be Poor
By Rev. C.. If. Griffith


Sudlersville, Md.
When Martin Luther wrote his IA
nous ninety-five thesis and tackled
them upon the door of his Church, he
stated in his sixty-second thesis: "The
true and precious treasure of the
Church is the Holy Gospel of the glory
and grace of God"
The Bible is indeed a treasure that
is not only precious in itself but it
also enriches every one who possesses
it.
No man who possesses Bible can
truly call himself a poor man. A
poor man is one who is devoid of
wealth. Any man who possesses a
Bible is not such a man because he
has in his hands on of the greatest
treasures in the world-the Word of
God to man!
The Bible is the most astounding
book ever written. 1t even speaks to
a man without being opened. Let him
do no more but glance at the cover
and it will speak to his soul.
No man can read its pages without
becoming better man for so doing.
Not only will be become a better man,
but he will become richer man. He
will be richer in thought, in vision, in
heart.
In that Bible are truths, precepts,
principles, which, when applied to the
problems of life, always result in a
betterment of ones condition. His
health will improve. He will increase
the number of his friends. Even his
financial situation will become better.
The Bible is the key book to sue
cessful happy living.
True wealth lies not in dollars, but
in ideas and in ideals. With such q
wealth a. this which the Bible con-

MEN and WOMEN
INSTRUCTED IN
CAR TROUBLES

The country is full of trained local
experts and mechanics who mend our
car Notwithstanding it unnecessary
to "get out and get under" in the old
time way.
Here is a national industry that
huns so lively that no villager engag-
ed in it has any spare moments to use
in standing under spreading chestnut
trees. Automobile students who take
prescribed courses are kept busy in
study-halls until they know their ION
ions" and also all the bolts, nuts and
intracacies of cars. In the General
Motors Institute at Flint, Michigan,
there was a record-brealking total of
1880 men and women receiving in
struction in the varied courses during
the past school year. Of these 1882
were in the foremanship and executive
training programs. An additional g.
ESQ, composed chiefly of industrial
employees, were enrolled in the spare
time study program.
The cooperative training program,
designed to give men from the various
manufacturing divisions an opportun-
ity to prepare themselves for more
responsible positions with the corpor-
alton had 562 students. A course for
men interested in dealer sales, service
and service management, many of
them entered by the dealers for ele-
mentary or advanced training, at
tracted sos men.
Fifty teachers of automotive sub
jects in high schools and colleges thru
out the country were enrolled in spec
ial four-week training courses for the
purpose of learning the latest develop
ments in automotive mechanics and
service, and a number of special
courses added to the Institutes cur
riculum in the past year attracted sew
eral hundred additional students.
Students last year came from 81
states, provinces in Canada and four
foreign countries, indicating the broad
national and international develop
ment and interest in the educational
features of our new motor schools.
