According to statement made today by Arthur H. Russell, well known used car operator the used car business will soon be on an up- ward trend and he looks forward to one of the busiest springs in a num- b0r of years. MT.

 MT. Russell conducts his place of business on Watertown avenue and at the present time has a number of fine reconditioned used cars which he is offering at exception ally low prices.
 One of the most popular young n1en in town, Art, as he is known to his friends, has shown great progress since entering the used car field some years back.
 MT. Russell features only thor oughly reconditioned used cars, all of which have been checked be- fore being placed on the showroom floor for sale.
 Associated with MT. Russell is Clark Andrews, used car manager, who has been selling used cars in this city for many years. The ma- jority of the used cars which the Russell used car company is dis playing at this time are all late modelled cars. There are some how ever, which are of an earlier model and which can be purchased at al- most your own price.

 In these topsy-turvy times when European dictatorS are scofflng at the very idea of democracy" and our own people have so much to worry about-it is reassuring to see how genuinely united we are in honoring the memory of WASHINGTON and LINCOLN.
 A week ago we celebrated the BIRTHDAY of ABRAHAM LIN COLIN: today we celebrate the BIRTHDAY of GEORGE WASH INGTON.
 What towers of strength and hope and faith and inspiration those two names are to America! :! More and more we come to think of them together. Last week this newspaper quoted the words of Massachusetts great senator, Charles Sumner, spoken soon after the death of President Lincoln of whom he had been close friend and stout supporter:
 "The work left undone by Wash ington was finished by Lincoln. Kindred in service, kindred in patriotism, each is surrounded in death by kindred homage In death as ill life, one is the com

 He would not appoint relative to salaried office. Nor have all his successors followed this ex- ample.

pIement of the other"
 What a heritage they left Amer ica and the world! Besides their matchless records of services to their country, both left immortal words that will stir the hearts and souls of men as long as the human race exists. What other mortal lips ever uttered such sublime words as Lincoln spoke at his Second Inaugural and on the battlefield of Gettysburg? And for wise counsel and affectionate solicitude for a nations permanent welfare where is there to be found anything to compare with WASH INGTON'S FAR w ELI L AD- DRESS?
 The late Senator Albert J. Rev. eridge called it "one of the wisest and most far-seeing documents ever written, if indeed it is not the ablest state paper of all time."
 Daniel Webster said on February 22nd, 1882 ill his famous speech on Washington's hundredth birth day:
 "Washington's Farewell Address is full of truths important at all times, and particularly deserving consideration at the present. With sagacity which brought the fu- ture before him, and made it like the present, he saw and pointed out the dangers that even at this moment most imminently threat en us. I hardly know how greater service of that kind could now be done to the community, than by 8 renewed and wide diff fusion of that admirable paper, and an earnest invitation to ev- cry man in the country to re- peruse and consider it. Its political maxims are invaluable; it's exhOr- tations to love of country and to brotheriy affection among citizens, touching; and the SOlemnity with which it urges the observance of moral duties, and impresses the power of religious obligation, gives to it the highest character of truly disinterested, sincere, parental ad- vice."
 Today, according to custom, WASHINGTON'S F A R E WELL ADDRESS will be read before the House of Representatives in the Capital City that bears his name.
 It will be read, too, today, in many public places, from the At lantic to the Pacific, and in thou sands of American homes.
 It would be well if it should be- come a custom to have it read aloud on the 22nd of February in every American household.
 The Farewell Address" is, as we know, an affectionate personal let ter from the Father of Our Coun- try to each and every one of us, and he requested that we read it often.
 Among other benefits to us is that it will greatly help us to un- derstand the CONSTITUTION. which we've all been reading so uluCll dUOuG ldIcly dllu do O4eAAClif> should know thoroughly-for the citizens are it's guardians.
 Of course the FAREWELL AD- DRESS" should be studied in all American schools, beginning in the upper grammar grades.
 Washington tried by personal example to bring about certain things that he did not mention in the Farewell Address:
 He liberated his slaves and pro- vided for their welfare as freemen, and if the South had followed his example the Civil war would have been avoided.
 He refused to be a candidate for a third term as preSident-and the people have seen to it that no other person has had a third term.
 He would not accept any money for his public services either as commander-in-ch chief of the Con-

Summed up, it all happened in Hollywood while Walter Wanger's "Stand-In." was in the making and Fay Garnett was at the megaphone and the oddly assorted group was to be the piece de resistance of a comic broading-house scene.
