Ford Is Building
32.t0n Monsters
On Assembly Line

DEARBORN, Mich.-M-4 32-ton
tanks, carrying armor plate made in
Ford Motor company steel mills, are
now coming eff the assembly lines.
Scheduled for constantly increas-
ing production, these land dread
naughts are being constructed al
most wholly from equipment and
msterials manufactured in Ford
plants Two great factories, includ-
ing n turning out tank armor
plate, are pouring finished parts
and sub-assemblies into the as
sembly building.
The number CT tanks being made
daily cannot be revealed, but mere
than one assembly line is operating
where the first Fort assembly line
operated years ago
Contributing to the speedy mass
production of the steel monsters are
Fcrd innovations. Distinctly revolu-
tionary is their method Ct making
non = buckling armor plate. This
formula not only eliminates the use
of considerable equipment but
sharply reduces production time.
Another feature Of the new 81
ten juggernaut - one that will
be heartily endorsed by tank crews
is the increased accessibility of
vital parts. Even the tough, COM
pact engine can be lifted cut and
repaired with comparative ease.
Redesigning of the final drive, en-
gireers pointed cut, cuts maching
time and speeds up the assembly CT
the tanks. In the field, where min
utes may mean the difference be-
tween victory and defeat, American
fighters will be able to service the
with greater speed than ever
before.
Gruelling tests to which the tanks
been submitted demonstrate
that the steel monsters can take
combat punishment.

"Of all funds earmarked war

Red Cross, Is percent being retained
by the chapter for local use. Gifts
designated for the general fund are
retained by the chapter entirely"
An intensive drive for war funds
will be made in March, 1943. Since
it is now felt that funds in the
treasury can be made to meet cur
rent expenses until that time, Mr..
Campbell urged that individuals or
organizations hold funds in trust
until that time, when all contribu-
lions will be most welcome.

SPENDING YOUR MONEY
WISELY. Every dollar you
spend helps determine the type
Of economic order you will leave
for those who follow you on this
earth. As Negroes in times of
prosperity | am wondering
whether We are bearing in mind
the hard experiences of few
years past, as well as thinking
about the discrimination which is
practiced against us, because of
our color, when we spend our
money during these trying days.
1t is not possible, and certainly
not practicable, to spend our
money at business enterprises
owned and operated by Negroes,
at all times. But, it is possible
to spend some money in Negro
business, and spend whatever else
is left, at those business houses
which employ more Negroes. We
would that, in America, it would
not be permissible to appeal to
such racial pride, hut we must
face facts. Negroes are discrimi-
mated against in the places where
we spend most of our money, in
that we are given no jobs. That
is not only true in private bust
ness but in this all important
Government Business. You and |
can do much to make conditions
better. spending our money
wisely at those places own
ed and operated by Negroes, LIST
and secondly, at those places
which hire Negroes.
IN THIS COLUMN, we are go

believe are so conducted as to
warrant your patronage. This
