The Fords Tell Their Plans
.%r1939

IF WE KNEW anything better we could do Tor
i the country than make good motor cars, we
would do it.
BY every one doing his best in the job he
thinks most useful, this country is going to regain
its momentum. We have tried to do our best In
our job.
When business was suddenly halted in its recov.
cry more than year ago, we determined that we
should keep going anyway, if not at full-volume
motor production, then at getting ready for
greater motor car values that would help future
production.
EXPANDING FOR THE FUTURE
We began to build "a million dollars worth of
new plants and equipment. We felt that if we
could not employ all our men building motor cars,
we would employ as many as we could building
better production facilities.
We were told, of course, that this was no time
for expansion, that wiser business policy would
be to "hold everything" means, stop
everything. But no one ever got anywhere
standing still.
Besides, we are not defeatists. We do not believe
this country has its best days. We believe this
country is yet in the infancy of its growth. We be-
lieve that every atom of faith invested in our
Country and our People will be amply justified by
the future. We believe America is just beginning.
Never yet have our People seen real Prosperity.
Never yet have we seen adequate Production.
But we shall see it! That is the assurance in
which we have built.
Business is not just coming back. 1t will have
to be brought back. That is now becoming well
understood in this country; for that reason 1889
will be cooperative year. Manufacturers, sellers
and buyers will cooperate to bring back the bust
ness that is waiting to be brought back.
This construction program is almost completed.
1t has increased activity and payrolls in number
of related industries. 1t has given better facil-
tiles for building better cars and trucks, and
eventually tractor which is being perfected.

THIS MEANS MORE VALUE

The current program has provided new tire
plant which will turn part of our tire require
ments (. new tool and die plant that will help
us cut the cost of dies and steel-press plant
that will enable us to make more of our own auto
mobile bodies. These are in addition to the plants
we already had for producing glass, iron, steel,
plastics, and many other things.
We don't supply all our own needs, of course,
and never expect to. The Ford engine is one thing

NLRB ARRANCES
 STRIKE FARLEY

Tulsa, Okla, Dec. 27.-(UP)-The National Labor Relations Board ar- ranged a peace conference today in the Mid-C Continent Petroleum com- pany refinery strike.
 There was little hopes for imme- diate settlement ana 450 national guardsmen occupied semi-perman- ent quarters because civil and mili- tary authorities feared violence if they were removed.
 J. c. Denton, vice president and general counsel for Mid-C Continent, agreed to the conference with staetment that little could be accom- plished. Representing the strikers C.. R. Coulter, vice presidento the International Oil Workers Union, a Congress of Industrial Or- ganization offiliate. Dwight F. Blackmore, of Fort Worth, Texas, represented the NLRB.
 We are willing to meet with the union <and government repre- sentatives at any time and again discuss the situation" Denton said. But there is absolutely no prospect of our meeting the union demands at this time.

SISTER LOVED BY
 MAKOCAI LEPERS
Twentieth Century HerO= inc Works 25 Years in
 Fiji Islands

If one wishes to find an example of the true spirit of giving which should animate the Christmas sea- son, he might do well to turn his eyes to those far-off rots in the Pacific ocean, known as the Fiji islands. One of these, Makogai, is the home of the lepers from all the British possessions in the South Sea regions. There it is that Sis ter Mary Clement, the Swiss-born members of the Missionary Sisters of the Society of Mary, whose head quarters for the United States are located at Bedford, Mass, has been working for the last 25 years.
 Fresh from her home amid the towering Alps of her homeland, Sis ter Mary Clement offered her ser- vices to go to the newly founded Makogai asylum. That was in 1913 when the leper settlement was barely two years in existence and the patients were nearly all in the last stages of the disease. They had been neglected for a long time and had become a mass of putrid ulcers in which it was sometimes difficult to recognize human features. Today things are different at Makogai. There are a few cases as bad as when the good nun arrived but they are in the minority. This is be- cause of the efforts made by the medical department to discover the disease in its early stages and be- cause of continued research and im- proved facilities.
 Sister Mary Clement has charge of three villages; one for Indians, one for Rotumans and one for Solomon Islanders. Each day at the appointed hour she makes her visitations, to begin her work of washing, disinfecting and bandaging. Is there night call? Two sisters come down from their quarters. One of the two may be anyone, but the other is always Sister Mary Clement.
 This devoted friend of the lep- CTS is in charge of pharmacy and diSpenses the various serums. Near ly 21,OOO injections were admins tered at Makogai last year. It is not surprising therefore that the 500 lepers on this Oceanic island rejoice that their devoted friend and helper has been spared them for quarter of a cetnury, absolutely unScathed by the dread disease to which she has proved such an un- tiring foe.

Visiting Nurses
 Service Record Merits Support

Discussing the impression that local visiting nurses handle only emergency cases, Mrs. Roger Sperry, president of the Visiting Nurses association, said today "our staff fills the need for skilled nursing care, where a full time nurse is not needed"
 Citing a case in point, Mrs. Sperry continued, "Three years ago one of our nurses was sent to a Waterbury home by a local doctor. A member of that family was in the first stages of an ill., ness from which there is little hope for recovery. For almost three years the patients spirit re- mained unbroken, and so suc- cessful were the ministrations of the Visiting Nurse that good cheer and calmneSs prevailed to the end.
 waterbury is fortunate in having this service which is avail able to all. Visiting Nurse head quarters at 37 Central avenue houses a staff of fifteen nurses under the direction of a most capable supervisor. It is here that all calls for nursing service are recorded and promptly acted upon. Here too, classes for those interested are conducted cover ing such subjects as baby well fare, diet, prenatal care and home economics"
 Ours is an efficient service which has a well-earned record of achievement in this city. We hope that popular support will enable us to extend our work next year."

reiterated his satisfaction with the manner in which the Christmas rush had been handled. There was no confusion, and we cleaned it up in fine fashion," he stated.
 The public cooepration, in mailing early, was greatly appreciated. The peak of the rush was reached sev- eral days before the holiday. Volume of the mail reached a point approxi- mately 10 per cent greater than that realized in 1887.

Have You Any Wool?

Politics are lots of fun, when one sits
one the fence,
Astraddle of the topmost rail to
watch the show commence.
When politics first started, the broth
was brewed quite well.
But as yearly spice was added, the
mixture then did smell.
And as the odor mounted, it did OBJ
serve the view
Of almost all the voters = there may
have been few
Who clearly understood the tales the
issues were about,
But as Annie told us long ago, we
surely SHOULD watch OUT.
The big, bad wolf is on the prowl, one
meets him everywhere,
In every path and by-way, he sets his
tricky snare.
This willy one has changed his clothes,
he wears a suit of wool,
His pants are full of pockets and his
pockets are all full
Of magic tricks and rabbits which he
would like to show.
He'll take you for a ride and then his
wordy seeds he'll sow.
And though I'm like beanstalk and
can climb up high to see
The politicians promised land, it DOM
look right to me.
The good earth that has nourisheC
me, my feet does keep in place
Let him who likes to tumble down
let him get in the race.
I'll climb no higher than my fence
and when the fun is DER,
I'll get down from my grandstand
seat-go in and close my door
I'll know that anything for me will
not have changed jot,
For me there'll be no waiting for the
plums-there's not lot!
I'll work as hard-I'll have my fun
I"take my losses, too,
For want no man to say to me, 81
have no time for your.
You ask me why this writing is plain
as plain can be,
Well, yesu I'll tell you, stranger, it
happened once to me!
