Key West Players Scored Another
Triumph With George And Margaret

That the Key West Players are
capable of professional histrioniC
ability was fully demonstrated
last Friday night at the Key West
High School'in their production
of Gerald Savory's three-act
comedy, George and Margaret"
under sponsorship of the Key
West Woman's Club.
From the rising of the curtain
to the last line as the curtain
descended at the conclusion OF
the last act, the audience, COM
fortably filling the hall, showed
appreciation of the players eff
forts, with much laughter and ap-
plause.
As is the case in productions
like this, it is extremely hard to
single out particular players for
special praise Consensus, how
ever, appeared to rest with Mrs.
Janice White, who played the
part of the fluttery wife, Alice
Her tantrum scene was definitely
finished and other part require
ments were capably handled
Thus, it appears, the White

Favorable Business Out look for Coming Year
 Adds to Co.'s Outlook

Advertising planned to introduce new Plymouth 1941 models to the motoring public totals up to an Au- tumn campaign that will be the big gest in this company's history, ac- cording to w. W. Romaine, director of advertising and merchandising for the Plymouth Division of ChryS- Ter Corp.
 This years huge campaign is pre- dicated on 8 firm business convic- tion that actually Plymouth is "the one for A." the Detroit official said
 Outstanding success of the 1940 model, MT. Romaine declared, war ranted this years advertising ap- proach to the new selling season with an even finer product for 1941. Favorable general business outlook for the coming year adds further to Plymouth's optimism, he said. r Newspapers again are the spear head of our ,new car introductory campaign" MT. Romaine said. 'More than 90 per cent of all daily news paper circulation in America will be used to dramatize Plymouth's new four-way step up in performance, new driving ease and revolutionary advancements in luxury of vehicles for the low price car market.
 Big space in regular news sec- tions and special pages of rotogra- vure, plus added use of color to sup plement black-and-w white, will stress the major improvements for 1941-- such as new Powermatic Shifting many other new features embodied and Fashion-Tone interiors, and in the latest model cars.

 Safety Viewpoint
 "The importance of these devel- opments from a safety viewpoint is readily realized from reaction time studies made by various safety organizations throughout the coun- try. The charting of thousands of cases has revealed that the reaction time of a normally alert driver is three-quarters of a second. Any device, therefore, that mechanically aids the driver to retain car control duing the reaction time period is looked upon as definite contribu- tion to the industry's long record of safety advances"

mechanical principle never before utilized in the industry. This inven- tion, which we named Auto Poise Front Wheel Control, was incorpo- rated into the design of independent front wheel coil springing, ntiro- sulting in marked improvement in duced in the 1940 Hudson cars, re- sulting in marked improvement in the principle of independent sus- pension itself, in the matter of helping to hold front wheels on their course automatically.
 AutO-P POise Control
 'Auto-Poise Control, on which Hudson holds a patent, employs an active mechanical force which helps hold front wheels on their course automatically, on rough roads, in heavy side winds, or even if tire blows. It consists of a spring steel back to form shock-cushioned me- leverage device with the ends angled chanical arms which are attached directly to each of the front wheels. These attachment points are so lo- cated that whatever force tends to turn the wheels from thei rtrue rse-whether wind, road shock or blow -out-is resisted by the me- chanical arms which return the wheels to their true course auto matically. Since this action occurs right at the wheels, the correction is direct and immediate.
 Such devices are typical of the industry,s ceaseless search for, and adoption of, mechanical safeguards which might be termed sentries of safety for the driver, inasmuch as they help resist the forces of danger until the driver has reacted to the emergency and moved to avoid it. In the case of Auto-Poise Control, unseen torsional corrective influ- ences are constantly on guard to counteract the sucedn impact of cross winds, road shock, or to help swerve in the case of blowouts of tire and tube.
 "Still another example of unseen mechanical safeguard is Hudson's 1 hydraulic breaking system which system operated from the same foot | has patented reserve mechanical pedal in addition to the regular | parking brake under the dash. Ev- cry driver knows that it is his foot | that acts when his mind says Stop To safeguard the driver against possible fatal delay in event | the hydraulic braking system fails | through accident or service neglect, i

There is one variety of American faith that ir my opinion has had no small part in making America the most progressive nation in the world in the matter of mechanical advancement. That is the abiding faith that Americans have in their inventors-their willingness to be- lieve in the newer and better thing.
 True enough, there have always been a certain number of skeptics, but there have been plenty more always who were eager to try the new thing, and by their enthusiasm to make possible its quick and wide adoption. There are countless in- stances of 1.-the telegraph, the farm combine, the radio the tele- phone, the electric light and one of the most important of all. the automobile.

AutOmOtve Safety Engineers Provide Safeguards
 Against Accidents Latest Devices on I04I Makes

The development of mechanical sentries of safety, unseen yet al- ways on guard to help protect life, is phase of automotive safety engi- neering that has made great strides in the last decade.
 Many of tlie major industry ad- vances in safety are quickly visual ized. Steel bodies, wider and slant ing windshield vision, safety glass, and this years new Sealed Beam headlampS are examples of safety engineering that are always in view, Barricades of steel, such as heavy frames, running boards, and rein forced front frame construction, are easily recognized as protective fea- lures. But at1tomotive safety engi- neering now reaches right into the mind of the driver with devices that, in emergencies help him during his natural reaction time.
 Human Equation
 Reaction time is strictly a human equation. In short, it is the time required by the human mind to rec- ognize an emergency and act swiftly and correctly to avert it. Since the most frequent emergencies confronting the average driver have to do with steering and stopping, the accent of development in me- chanical safeguards has been con- centrated upon these two phases of car control. Given a safe hand at the wheel, whether in traffic or at high speed, driving today is safer mechanically, engineers say, than at any time in the history of the in- dustry.
 Describing company progress in the development of mechanical safeguards that automatically help the mind of the driver to do the safe thing quickly, Murray North rop, chief engineer of the Hudson Motor Car company, said: Even at moderate speed on relatively smooth roads the wheels of an automobile are off the ground minutely a por- ton of the time. During the periods they are off the ground, front wheels need correction to keep them straight on their course. Any device, therefore, that woul d help hold front wheel action in independent front wheel coil springing. could be properly regarded as definite con- tribution to car control.
 The quest for such device be- gan with us some years ago and eliminated with the adoption, in l938, of an invention employing a
