3 WOMEN; 5 WASHDAYS; 5-DAY
WEEK FOR MACHINE

A community washing machine
has changed the laundry problem
for five women of Guilford County,
N. c., says an informal report to FSA
headquarters in Washington.
The five farm women bought this
washing machine---a gas engine
powered model---with a community
service loan from the Farm Security
Administration. They had seen their
husbands and neighbors use trac-
tors, hay balers, harvesters, and
other equipment bought coopera-
lively, and decided to follow the ex-
ample. Now every day is washday.
One woman washes Monday, one
Tuesday, and so through Friday. If
someone cam not keep her date with
the machine, she trades time with
neighbor or uses the free day, Sat.
The FSA loan is repayable over a
five-year period at 8 percent interest.
Such loans are available only to
low-income farm families who can
not get credit elsewhere. Groups of
needy farm women have bought 9TH
err types of equipment with the COM
munity service loans--particularly
pressure cookers for canning meats
and homegrown produce from gar
dens and orchards.

AFTER SCHOOL OR COLLEGE

West Nottingham Academy stud
ents enjoyed an Assembly talk Mon
day on the subject, What Will Do
After School or College, by Willard
Tomlinson, Philada. director of the
Strathmore Guidance Bureau.
Discussing the question of whether
or not students should study, Tom
linson reminded the boys that the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Co. in a 25-year study of all employ
ees found that those who stood high
est enthusiastically in college now had
the best jobs and the highest pay.
Continuing, the speaker urged the
students to discover the work they
are most able to do and will be hap
piest in doing, then to plan their
future education with definite
purpose in mind.
This address was one Of the fea-
lures in the regular guidance pro-
gram carried on at the Academy
throughout the year. Mr.. Tomlinson,
author of How to Develop Your Per-
sonality, is a member of the Indus
trial Relations Association of Phila-
delphia, the National Vocational
Association, and the American Aca-
denny of Political and Social Sciences.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICES

Adam and Fallen Man" will be
the subject of the Lesson-Sermon in
all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on
Sunday, November 10.
The Golden Text will be from
Psalms 1871, 9, with thee will l
cry, o Lord my rock. T.. save thy
people and bless thine inheritance;
feed them also, and lift them up for
ever"
Among the citations comprising
the Lesson-Sermon will be the fol-
lowing from the Bible; Matt, 1910:
"And, behold, there was man who
had his hand withered. And they
asked him saying, is it lawful to
heal on the sabbath days? that they
might accuse him.
The Lesson-Sermon also will in
clude passages fro mthe Christian
Science textbook, Science and
Health it'll Key to the Scriptures, -
by Mary Baker Eddy, among which
is the following, page 81, "Jesus
acknowledged no ties of the flesh"

safety tips" for motorists who
are planning to drive over the $780,
OO0,O Pennsylvania Turnpike link
ing Harrisburg and Pittsburg are
given by the Keystone Automobile
Club, on the basis of observation and
inquiry by members Of the Club
engineering and safety stats.
Drivers are warned to allow ample
space in following other vehicles.
The Turnpike is so well designed,
with scientifically banked curves and
adequate 'sight distance" through
out its entire 100 miles that motor
lists are apt to lose their sense Of
speed. Unless safe distance is main
tanned, the engineers point out, a.
sudden stop of car in front Is like
ly to create hazardous condition
for vehicles following. Allowance
should be made for reaction time
and stopping distance. At 20 miles
per hour "a safe following distance
would be approximately 400 feet.
1t is also urged that motorists keep
careful watch for signals of State
Motor Police guarding the highway,
particularly at night. For some unex-
planned reason, police report, drivers
fail to heed f1ash-light and other
signals when police are trying to
warn of danger ahead. In recent
fatality, the first on the new high
way, driver failed to see, or heed,
signal well in advance of disabled
truck.
Another important thing to remem-
Der, the club experts declare, is that
while the paving surface is as safe
as modern engineering can make 1t,
sudden freezing in the mountains
may cause ice to form faster than
cinder crews can cover it. The desig-
nation "all-weather" highway should
not be interpreted to mean that
ideal surface conditions will exist
under all conditions of weather.
| While the speed on the Turnpike
is technically the State maxium of SO
mile per hour, drivers are permitted
to use their own judgment of "safe''
speed Abuse of this discretion may
result in more rigid rules for Turn
pike operation.

CHINA's GREAT ROAD

Burma Road, hope of freedom for
China and of Importance to the well
fare of Great Britain and the United
States, was reopened at noon, Oc-
tober II, 1910, and some 1000
trucks, loaded with gasoline and
other war supplies, were started on
their way to Gen. Chang Kai-shek' s
embattled armies. The road over
which supplies from Rangoon and
the outer world had gone to the
Chinese was closed July 18th, be-
cause of pressure brought on Great
Britain by Japan, but not without
an understanding that Japan would
use the time to negotiate a settle
ment of the Chinese incident"
But Japan was not faithful to this
agreement. 1t used the time to ex-
plode more bombs on Chinese cities;
conclude the tripower military agree
ment with Britian's enemies, and
force the helpless Indo-China Gov
eminent to allow it's troops to enter
that country so as to establish a base
from which to strike at Chinas life
line (the Burma Road) and the
British naval base at Singapore.
The reopening of Burma Road,
built for "a distance of LOO miles
by millions of Chinese working with
out machinery or dynamite, was
precipitated by Japans refusal to
negotiate settlement with China
and it's adherence to the Rome-Ber-
lin Axis. Japan's perfidy in the prem
ises is regarded by some observers
as catalyst bringing an understand
ing between the two Anglo-Saxon
peoples as the first step toward stop
ping Japanese aggression in the Far
East and to thwart the designs of
Hitler and Mussolini.
Begged down for nearly four years
in China, the Nipponese Government
hoped, by keeping the Burma Road
closed, it could force the Chungking
government to sue for peace. Dis
lappointed in this, the Japanese face
further resistance from that govern
ment because of the greatly increas-
ed supplies of gasoline, airplanes,
medical supplies, ammunition and raw
materials now moving over that
road. News Bureau

BAD LUCK FOLLOWS CAR

A mechanical accident is not re-
garded by car owners as anything to
be congratulated about. Postmaster
Moore, however, is more happy over
the fact that the ground strap on
the battery Of his automobile broke
just when it did, for it enabled the
police to catch up with the car which
had been stolen more than a week
ago from North Third street.
"Bobbie" had heard not a word
from his machine, although the IL
eense and description had been sent
over three states. Suddenly, he re-
ceived word from Fairfax Court
House In Virginia, that car had
been picked up there which was
found to be his. The police had been
warned by broadcast to watch for
this car and drunken driver, and
a pursuit was started. Before long
they came upon the car in the road,
the ground strap having been brok-
en-. causing it to stop. The driver
had evidently taken leg bail and was
not apprehended. Mr.. and Mrs. Moore
went to get the car, bringing 1t home
Saturday. 1t was considerably bat.

TURKEY BREAST Is MEATIEST

What part of the turkey at
Thanksgiving dinner has the most
meat on it? Most persons would
choose a leg as the ''meatiest" part,
but the breasts of a turkey have more
meat than the legs, says the U. S.
Department of Agriculture. The
breast meat of a high-Quality, fat,
dressed turkey makes up almost q
fifth Of the whole bird, and the leg
meat slightly less. The chief thing
to look for in picking out dressed
turkey is a broad, meaty breast.
Poultry breeders at the Beltsville
Research Center of the Department
are mating birds to develop strains
of turkeys with broader breasts.

CHEVROLET SALES

Detroit, Oct. 31-Chevrolet re-
tail sales in 1910, in exactly nine
months and 20 days, have surpassed
those for the entire calendar year of
1899, it was announced here today
by William E. Holler, general sales
manager. The figure for the current
year through Oct. 20, he said, is
S14,951, as compared with 791,8S6
for the entire year of 1899. This is
already gain of 2.9 per cent.
Coincidentally with the sales rec
ord for the annual period, Mr.. Hol-
Ter announced two other Chevrolet
selling records. The period just
closed--the second 10 days of Octo-
ber--establishes a new record as the
greatest similar period in Chevro-
let history. Likewise, the record for
the first 20 days of the month sur
passes any previous Oct. 100 in
Chevrolet annals.
During the second To-day period,
he reported, dealers sold total of
81, O91 new passenger cars and
trucks, a gain of 100 per cent over
the same period last year and a sub
stantial increase over the first 10
days of October this year. Combined
sales for both To-day periods in Oc-
tober this year, Mr.. Holler said,
totalled 61,147, a gain of 1877 per
cent over the 22,898 sales reported
during the same 2O-day period last
year.
Used car sales likewise showed
substantial gains over both the COM
parable periods last year and the
preceding period this year. During
the 10 days, dealers retailed a total
of 43,053 used cars, gain of 38 per
cent over 1889 and Az per cent over
the preceding period this year. The
20-day total was 84,358 used car
sales, as against 6O,59O reported
during the same period in 1889. This
is an increase of 1872 per cent.
Trucks continued their steady
climb since the introduction of new
models, advancing 6.2 per cent over
the preceding Today period. A total
of 1878 were retailed.
The cumulative figure for the year
--814,951 passenger car and truck
sales--compares with 586,656 sales
made during the same period in
1889, Mr.. Holler pointed out. This
is gain of 22S,295 sales from Jan.
l through Oct. 20, an advance of
1873 per cent.
This unprecedented October SELL
ing record amply bears out the pre-
duction we made at new car an
nouncement time last September"
Mr.. Holler added. cat the time of
announcement, we predicted a vol
ume INCREASE of Is or 20 per cent
for Chevrolet in 1941, and the Oc-
tober showing indicates that such a
figure was not far out of line. If we
close this month at the pace set
during the first 20. days--and there
is every indication we may do So
then this will represent the greatest
October sales figure in the history of
Chevrolet"
