CHEVROLET FARM TRUCK
NEEDS

II America Ia to become the
"breadbasket" as well as the "ar.
senal of democracy, as called for In
present federal planning, horsepow-
er on the farm must still be measure
ed In cylinders and not In draft ami
mails. An increase In the number OF
light trucks manufactured for farm
use must follow the increased pro-
duction schedules for farm products,
national surveys indicate.
Farm goals for 1942 have been set
at Is per cent above the 1924-29
average, with major portion OF the
increase scheduled for hogs, chick
ems, eggs, milk and cheese, food
stuffs greatly needed by the demo-
cracies America has undertaken to
support. According to w. II. Fish,
commercial car manager for Chevro-
| let, farmers I'm general rely upon
trucks of less than / " ton capaci-
ties for the transport of these COM
modities.
According to Fish, farmers own
one out Of every four trucks in the
country, and agricultural and animal
products comprise 26.6 per cent of
| all truck loads, national surveys
show. In 1910, "A per cent of all
trucks produced fell in the category
OF 1-ton or less capacities, with
heavy emphasis upon y ton and
half-ton models. Light-duty pickups
especially, are favored farm units,
Chevrolet sales records show.
This Is mechanical age upon
the farm as well as In industry,
F".sl points out. profitable farm
operations are predicated upon low
cost, high-volume output, and the
truck plays a distinguished role In
the realizing Of this goal. It is illogi-
cal to demand greater production of
the farmer while restricting the ne
cessary tools and equipment to ac-
complish that task.
According to the OPM priorities
division, Fish pointed out, more
than a million trucks are now haul
ing defense goods only. With Az
million trucks registered in the U.
s., this means that virtually one
fourth are now engaged In our de-
Tense effort.
with restricted light-truck out
put, and demand for greater farm
production, the American farmer
faces record job. He has set pro-
duction records I'm each of the past
two years and Is asked to top them
again in 1912. To do this, of course,
he must have the tools.
Surveys at major markets thru
out the country show that 6S.2 per
cent Of all hogs received there ar
rive by truck; 68.7 per cent of all
chickens; 45.2 per cent of the eggs,
and 1871 per cent of the butter. In
addition, at least "a major American
cities receive their entire milk sup
ply by truck.
Over and above farm use in the
rural areas, Fish said, some $4,000
American communities are entirely
dependent upon motor trucks for
their supplies and shipments.
In the wide range of Chevrolet
commercial equipment for the farm,
Fish said, half-ton pickups and u
ton stakes are rated as among the
most versatile and valuable units.

City High Players Snap
Their Losing Streak in
Close Contest

Ypsilanti High Schools fghting
cage quintet came from behind
Friday evening TO defeat Wayne

game in the YHS gymnasium. Har-
old Harner was the hero OF the
win as he dropped free throw at
tempt in the final Is seconds OF play
TO break 20-20 deadlock.
At the start OF the game 1t looked
as though the local boys were GO
ing TO receive their fourth setback
OF the season. Shut out entirely in
the first quarter wit. Wayne taking
10 0 lead on pair of field goals
by Fourment and one by Reiman,
the Braves didn't enter the scoring
column until over half of the second
quarter had been completed. Four
ment had added four more points
to the Wayne total, with a pair of
baskets, before L. d. Harmon
cracked the ice for the Braves
with a field goal after five min
utes and 90 seconds of the quarter
Don Hubbard, following Harmon 5
example, then chalked up Ypsi
Highs second basket on a beautiful
bit OF work as he took a loose ball
from out of the hands of a Wayne
player and dropped in a short shot
to make the score 10 to at the
half
Evidently Coach Jack Starwas
gave the boys rousing pep talk
between halves as they became red
hot in the third quarter with Ellis
Freatman doing most of the siz-
cling. Seemingly unable to miss
the loop with his one handed pivot
shots, Freatman dropped four IN
quick order to put the local boys
definitely back in the ball game.
Eugene Palmer also got a basket
and Captain Joe Britton swisned
two to give the Braves IS points.
The Wayne players were a so
busy, but not half so active as
the torrid Braves, as w. Ross add
ed four points, Hargraye two, and
*. Ross one, to the Wayne total
bringing the score UP to 1917 with
fpsi High leading as The third per
iod came TO close.
Scoring in the final quarter was
very sparse with Wayne getting the
best of il until the closing minutes.
w. Ross, Reiman, and Hargrave
in that order were successful with
free shots to put Wayne into the
lead 90 to is with one minute and
forty seconds remaining TO the
contest. At this point Coach Star

George Berklich into the game with

judgment by dropping a long set
shot in from the middle of the
floor to tie the game at 90 al.
There the score stayed until only

his foul shot to give Npsi High its
second game of the season. Rel.
man. Wayne, had a chance to tie
the game and send it into overtime,
