United Stove
in Second Slot

Hanging up four runs in the
fourth inning to add TO the one II
had already secured in the second,
United Stove went into undisputed
possession OF the second place in
the City League standings Tuesday
night as 1t defeated Central Spe'
cialty 5 to at Recreation Park.
Previous to the game the two
teams had been tied for the runner
up position with two wins and a
loss apiece but the Stoyemen's vic
tory now puts them full game
ahead OF the Speciality nine, and
on the heels OF the league-leading
Cubs.
Held scoreless until the fifth
inning by Les Hall, the Specially
men broke out in that frame with
three run rally but the game was
called because OF darkness imme-
diately after the outburst so they
had no chance to tie the score.
Both Hall and Carrico allowed
five hits but the Stovemen punched
three OF theirs in the all-important
fourth to give them the game. No
batter on either team got more
| than one hit.

Panthers Parade
Twenty Five Runs

Ypsilanti High Schools meeting
with River Rouge at Recreation
Park Tuesday could hardly be con-
sidered ball game. The power
tul Painters started a parade OF
runs across in the first inning
that wasn't halted until Stone
crossed the plate in the seventh
inning with run No. % for. the
visitors. Not only did the River
Rouge nine pile up the almost IN.
beltevable total OF twenty-five
runs but, adding insult to injury,
it used three pitchers on the
mound who collectively yielded
but five hits and no runs to the
local boys.
George Berklich, who was the
starting pitcher for the Braves,
hurled the entire distance.
The only inning in which the
visitors failed TO score was the
fifth in which Berklich famed
two and the other flied to Free
man. In all the others at least two
runs crossed the plate with six
being the maximum. This latter
number was scored in the open
ing frame as four errors and four
hits started the Painters on their
merry way. They followed with
five in the second, four in the
third, two in the fourth, and four
each in the sixth and seventh.
Stone. of River Rouge led both
teams with a really perfect day
at bat; five runs and five hits in
five trips to the plate. Kogut.
with three out OF four. was his
closest competitor for the batting
honors.
Don Green's double and Eugene
Mitchelrs triple were the only
hits for extra bases collected by
Ypsi High.

Girl Scouts
Celebrated 10Th
Anniversary

Two Brownie troops and
Girl Scout troop celebrating the
29th birthday of Girl Scouting
were sufficient reasons for
drawing an attendance of over
one hundred at Cherry Valley
school March ID. The members
Of the three troops entertained
their parents at specially plan
ned anniversary party.
Miss Louise Africa, chairman
of the troop committee for
Brownie troop 81, was mistress
of ceremonies. A program of
songs, puppet shows and folk
dances comprised the program.
Each group participated in some
part of the program.
Highlighting the program was
the presentation of handmade
dish towels to the PTA. Each
member of Brownie troop 81 had
made one towel on which &C. W"
had been stitched. The presen-
tation was made by Jackie Smith
and the acceptance by Mrs.
Charles A. Gray, president of
the PTA unit. Miss Ruth Sholl-
enbarger, Girl Scout executive,
gave a short talk, commenting
upon the work of the girls with
their leaders.

1t has been pointed out that
Newark township has been re-
ceiving fire protection for a
number Of years but the $68,000
cost of maintenance has been
paid by the taxpayers inside the
corporation line. Furthermore
that firemen who pass over the
line are not covered by compen-
sation insurance.
Due to development and
growth outside of the city linn
it's a considerable part of the
township has water mains and
fireplugs. If an agreement is
reached with council whereby the
township is furnished with fire
protection, fire insurance rates
would drop from 10 to 45 per
cent, it was pointed out by
Councilman Premier, in an inter-
view following the meeting.
The resolution stipulates that
should an agreement for fire
protection be entered into with
the trustees that it contain a
clause to the effect that Newark
City proper have preference in
the matter of fire alarms.
The money derived from the
township would be used in main
tenance and to bolster the fire
mems pension fund.
, Another resolution was adopt
ed authorizing the clerk of coun-
ell to invest $4,000 more or less
in the cemetery endowment fund.
The finance committee made
a report citing the fact that
there are no funds available for
the firemen's pension fund, nor
to purchase an artificial respir-
ator, the latter proposition hav-
ing been presented to council
at their last meeting by a COM
mittee from the Newark Safety
council.
An ordinance calling for the
issuance of $4,000 in bonds for
poor relief, the money to be
turned over to county commits
sioners according to agreement,
was passed. Relief will be
handled through the county set
up until June 80, 1941.
Councilman Faust made a mo-
tion which passed unanimously,
that clerk of council inform in
terested parties that the city no
longer desired to acquire the old
Pennsylvania freight house prop
erty for use of the service de-
partment. Mr.. Faust pointed
out in his remarks that the city
owned property in Easy street
upon which a building could be
constructed for less money than
it would take to repair the old
freight house.

features thus spectacularly prov
en-, caused a major crisis with
in the Pharis organization, say
Pharis spokesmen. Within a
few weeks, nearly 1000 new deal
er accounts were added to the
books; for many consumers who
lived in communities where
Pharis dealers had not yet been
appointed sent their orders di-
rect to the factory. Thus began,
in the depths of the business de-
preston, the 24-hour operating
schedule which, with few excep-
tions, has been maintained to
this day.
The "Roadgripper" tire, as it
then existed, eventually passed
out of the Pharis lineup and was
replaced by the present First
Line Roadgripper," incorporat-
ing newer trends in tire design
and styling. The Lightning
Tread Roadgripper," introduced
in 1886, linked product develop
ment with merchandising ap-
peal. The First Line Ribgrip-
per" offered for the 1887 season
quickly found a market where
constantly increasing demands
have put this tire at the top of
the Pharis production schedule.
True to the basic idea of the
founder, Carl Pharis, the COM
pany has adhered to very mod
est ideas of physical expansion
through these years of steadily
increasing sales and widening
markets. In 80 years, the Phar-
is Tire and Rubber Company has
risen from a small organization
among 200 tire manufacturers to
a ranking position among the
top 10. Operating at peak ca
pacity year after year, the eff
cheney of it's production system,
the yearly increase in sales and
the loyalty and cooperation of
it's employees stand as tribute
to "men and management"
Mr.. Pharis developed this
management by drawing into the
company capable men. These
men, under the guidance of Mr..
Pharis, have made possible the
AAA-1 financial rating of The
Pharis Tire and Rubber COM
pany, a 81 per cent increase in
sales in 1889, and the company's
claim to one of the strongest fl
nancial positions in the industry
today.
Through their combined knowl-
edge of the rubber business,
good sales tactics, and their per-
sonal contact and cooperation
with the dealer organization,
these men know dealers sales
problems and are able to provide
the answers, Pharis officials de-
clare.

Newark citizens are ask
( ed this week and next, to
contribute $3.50 to provide
a YMCA recreatiOnal pro-
gram for Ohio young men
at Camp Shelby near Hat
tiesburg, Miss.
The announcement was
made this week by II. j.
Lowe, chairman of the 10
cal committee which is CO
operating in the statewide
effort.
N;amp Shelby will eventually
have 100000 Ohio Young Men in
camp" Mr.. Lowe stated, and
while they will be well taken
care of on the camp reservation,
their greatest problem will oc-
cur as they attempt to profit
ably utilize their leisure time
when out of camp. Hattiesburg,
a small community nearby the
camp, has little enough positive
recreational activity for it's
small population, and finds it
sci wholly unable to provide
for the thousands of young men
decending upon it from the
camp each day hunting some
thing to do.
Since Nov. /, George Draper,
a YMCA secretary of long ex-
perience in army YMCA work
has been located in Hattiesburg,
and has successfully conducted
in that community, programs
for the soldiers on leave. The
program has the endorsement of
General Beightler, camp COM
mander, the camp chaplain, and
!. by ministers and educators in
Hattiesburg. In this program
Mr.. Draper is using the Hatties-
burg high school gym to con-
duct basketball leagues, dances,
and other programs. The funds
being raised at this time will be
FUSED to repair and equip the
Hattiesburg YMCA which will
be turned over entirely for the
use of the soldiers. The funds
will also provide YMCA staff
to direct program for the SOL
.diers In this time OF emergency.

The Story of P'haris
Tire and Rubber Co.

The familiar adage, Great
oaks from little acorns grow"
still contains a substantial kerr
mel of truth. Many great or
ganizations can be traced back
to germ idea which, cultivated
with unfaltering faith and cour-
age, eventully fulfilled in rich
measure the hopes and vision of
those who first recognized it's
possibilities.
Thirty years ago, Carl Pharis
put such an idea to the test. He
believed then, as he does today,
that if tires and tubes were built
of the finest materials by skill
ed workmen under the most
ficient workmen under the most
efficient factory production
methods and distributed at the
lowest possible overhead cost,
that they could be sold to the
public for less money and still
provide a wider margin of prof
it for the tire dealer-by enab-
ling this dealer to meet all le-
gitimate competition with quail
ity merchandise at a lower price.
This idea, logical as prob
lem in simple arithmetic, was the
basis on which The Pharis Tire
and Rubber Company was or
ganized in 1910, with a daily
production of 80 tires.
The company had only one
salesman at that time, Mr.. Phar
is himself. He called on the
trade personally, developed
friendships, built confidence,
kept his promises, commanded
respect-and sold tires. From.
the very beginning the firms
production and sales cure rose,
and save for the seasonal fluc-
tuations affecting the entire in
dustry, it has never once falter-
ed in its upward course, Pharis
officials state.
The tire production and sales
curve was matched IN 1915 Wnen
a nodded tube department was
organized-one of the very few
nodded tube departments then
in successful commercial opera
tion. Four years later, in 1882,
a third production and sales
curve appeared on the company
chart with the establishment of
a bicycle tire department. To-
day Pharis is one of the largest
bicycle tire manufacturers in the
world.
The Pharis "Roadgripper" tire
enjoyed an exciting public in
PRODUCTION few years ago when,
driven by Deacon" Litz, famed
race driver, it won the A. A. A.
award for stock tire safety on
the Indianapolis Speedway, at
10 miles an hour for more than
100 miles. Public and dealer
