Of Pontiac, Michigan.
"Practicauy every automotye man
uracturer has a plan OF some nature
for the repair and maintenance Of mo-
tor vehicles during his period OF re-
atricted production" says Mr.. Little.
Scientific maintenance for dependa-
bic performance and longer truck and
tire life is receiving greater consider
alton than ever before by operators,
both large and small.
In the GMC Victory Maintenance
program are several major elements,
designed to take care of practically
any situation with which the truck
operator may be confronted in his eff
forts to maintain his truck equipment
at peak efficiency.
First, there is the Company's Pre-
ventive Maintenance Plan, which was
originated by GMC back in 1929 and
which is being used in many of the
larger truck and coach fleets through
out the country to keep their equip
ment on the job with minimum of
time out for service In addition to
protecting the life Of the truck and
covering such necessary operations as
regular fabrication and adjustment
Preventive Maintenance therefore re
yeals in advance the need for repair
or replacement Of parts, thus reduc-
ing the possibility of breakdowns on
The job or costly loss Of time on the
road Essentially, this is the same
system as used by one of the nations
largest fleet operators, where total
yearly travel as high as two hundred
and sixty miles is recorded with
road failure reduced to an average Of
only one in $500 0miles.
"The second feature of this pro
gram consists of a series of group
overhaul operations designed to put
new life back into the truck. This phase
Of the plan will be of particular i'm
portance to light duty truck opera
tors who are faced with the possibili-
ty of having to operate their trucks
over a long period. Provision is made
for the complete replacement of en-
tire groups of engine and chassis
parts which experience has shown
should be replaced at periodic inter
walls for lowest maintenance cost and
freedom from more costly repairs at
a later date.
LAS a third element in our Victory
Maintenance program we are offer
ing complete engine or partial engine
assemblies for replacement. The mo-
tor is naturally the hardest working
part of the vehicle. Operators have
found, in many instances, that an ex-

more economical than the continued

Therefore. "o are making available

change engines are completely re-
manufactured IN our own factories
ON our regular engine assembly lines.
As a result, new engine performance
is assured. We are also making a
valuable to the owner of any make of
truck new GMC engine, either Die
sci or gasoline, for replacement.
"A special program for financing
various service operations included in
our Victory Maintenance plan has
been worked out with our own Yellow
Manufacturing Acceptance Corpora
ton and is being made available to
our entire dealer and branch organ
izations.
"GMC's new Victory Maintenance
program is being supported by news
paper and publication advertising, to-
gether with localized promotion and
direct mail to help the GMC dealer
body impress truck operators with the
necessity Of proper driving and pro
tectivc maintenance Of their vehicles

express an opposing opinion, but he
called upon all factions to stand up

 Distinguished religious leaders have suggested the desirability of my urging upon the residents of Connecticut, sincere, purpose full, and common prayer, once each day. for the duration of the present world conflict.

 Most of the long term leases will expire shortly, the report states, and efforts will continue to sell the property. Some of the leases which were in force when the receiver was appointed do not provide rental fees commensurate with the spaces leased but they will soon run out, thereby removing the greatest obstacle to depositors, the report adds.

 Accordingly T call upon the res- idents of Connecticut, con1menc- ing on Sunday, October 25, 1042, and continuing for the balance of the war, to pause each day for one fleeting minute, to join in prayer.
 Let there be a daily radio call to the people Of the State, led by members of the clergy of < all faiths, at which time one minute will be devoted to humble and significant prayer. I shah rely upon the Unity and AInity Com nittee of the State Defense Coun. ell to formulate procedure to make effective the terms of this Declaration.
 Let us pray for our, youthful warriors, who have departed to fight, the good fight. Let iis pray for their distraught parents, whose hearts are heavy with allx- iety and fear. Let us petition God to speed the day when sons and brothers, daughters and ssisters, mothers and fathers afe ret0 0lned in the love and compani ionship of the home. Let Us ask God to view our cause as righteous and worthy. May strength, courage, ard vision be given our leaders. May an equitable ana ,laSClnY peace, founded on love of God ana neighbor, quickly settle over the entire earth. 't ., s. r.
 I ask particularly that the .chil- dren of our State be taught to join in this daily: minute of prayer. Let petitions from their innocent lips be channeled and directed heaven4ward to. a mercf- full God, who has never failed to hear and heed the pleas of un- sullied hearts. = : ,. i.s3s

ROCK BOTTOM IN
 LABOR IS REACHED

Hartford, Conn, oct. 16 - (U.P0 has reached rock bottom in its search for available labor" U. s. Employment Director William G. Ennis said today, and new sources must be developed to meet the increasing demands of war industries.
 That women may be called upon more and more to overcome the manpower shrinkage was seen in a report of the Hartford Employment Office which said that for the first time in history job orders for wo- men have liar exceeded the demand for men,"
 Employers have found out at last" said the report, through ex- perience, that women are equal, if not superior to men in many rou- tine jobs. For the first time in more than 10 years the files of the local office have fewer than 1000 persons registered, including both men and women and another remarkable feature is the fact that. of those registered, 75 per cent are women as compared with 25 per cent men, Normally the ratio is 30 per cent men and 20 per cent women"
 Ennis said that out-of-state work CTS "have shrunk to a trickle be- cause of transportation and hous- ing shortages, and that the situa- ton is so acute that "even men for tough factory labor no longer are available"

No Worthwhile Legislation By Democrats, Claims

Hartford, Conn, October 16. = CUP) = The gubernatorial candi- dates of the Democratic, Republican and Socialist parties went before the people with ideas today. This is what they said:
 Democratic Governor Hurley, can- didate for reelection, at Hartford rally: "This election, more than any other in our history, is wo- mans election. Women are more affected by war than anyone else" "
 Republican candidate Raymond E. Baldwin at a Northford rally: My opponent has produced not one single worthwhile bit of legislation while our administration was hailed by labor leaders as the friend- Hest to the working man in the his tory of the state. It has been amus- ing to me to hear that my opponent has been going about the state boasting of his friendliness toward labor and his promises to help the working man."
 Socialist candidate Jasper McLevy in Bridgeport talk: " have never run away from fight in my life, particularly where the public welfare is concerned. I refuse to betray the many thousands of men and women who have voted for our party throughout the state in the past. refuse to knuckle under to the empty threats and clustering of Democrats and Republicans who temporarily put on labor's overalls and profess to speak for labor with out authority, and wihout the slightest knowledge of labor's wishes or labor's background in Connecti- cut"
