Fisher Body Plant
In Mass Production
OF Sperry Gyro
Precision Instruments
Turned Out Months
Ahead of Schedule
By the Associated Press.

DETROIT, Sept. 15,-E. F. Fisher,
general manager of the Fisher Body
division of General Motors Corp,
disclosed yesterday with war De-
partment approval that the Tern
stedt manufacturing division is in
mass production of the Sperry gyro
horizon and direction gyro indi-
Gators.
Shipments currently going out of
the plant, Fisher said, were months
ahead of schedule.
The instruments which make pos
sible blind flying" under almost any
adverse conditions are being pro-
duced in factory that once made
automobile bodies 1t is the first
time, Fisher said, that a job of this
nature has been undertaken by an
automotive company.
1t requires precision machining at
extremely close tolerances, perfect
polishing of tiny moving parts, ut
most cleanliness in all mechanism
and adjustments that demand per-
feet balance.
The more than TOO parts that go
into the complete assembly include
one unit with five tiny ballbearings
so small that 5000 of them would fit
comfortably into an ordinary thin
BILE.
Numerous watchmakers and MANY
women have been employed on the
instrument production pob. Noting
the adaptability of women to the
delicate work involved, Fisher said
Nowhere are women doing a more
important job in the entire arma :
ment program than on this pob."
In one of the scores of tests made
during the production and assembly
OF the instruments they are placed
IN an ice box which registers 81 de-
grees below zero and then trans
ferred to container In which a
temperature of 1913 degrees Fahren-
heit Is maintained. Unless every
bearing is truly set contraction in
the cold or expansion in the heat
will throw the instrument out OF
order.

Caracas, a new-old city of handsome
buildings, gardens and broad ave-

orchids, bull ring and what visitors
sometimes describe as the most per-
feet climate in the world.
Beyond the mountains lie the great
plains (the llanos). region of tall
grass, cattle and mule-riding cow
boys. Rolling down to the broad
muddy waters of the Orinoco, these
plains are home to scattered ranch
men, occasional villages and lonely
farms, where the traditional hos
pitality of the open country prevails
This part of Venezuela at various
times has supported large herds OF
cattle, despite the natural handicaps
of rainy season flood and dry season
drought, of tropical heat and insect
pests. The industry is now being
encouraged under government plans
for improving stock and methods
and establishment of accessible re-
frigerator plants.

inhabited by Indian tribes and an
assorted jungle population of
jaguars, monkeys, snakes. alligators,
wild pigs, lizards and birds of all
colors and kinds. 1t is believed to
be one of the continents richest
sources of raw materials, awaiting
only the necessary development.
New iron mines are reported now
being opened up, and gold long has
been an important product of this
region. Diamonds are found there,
and useful forest commodities such
as balata, rubbery gum used for
insulating material and golfball
covers, tonka beans used for perfume
and f1avoring, and divi-divi used in
tanning.
In its development plans, Vene-
zuela, like its neighbors, faces twin
problems of transportation difficult
ties and lack of population. Projects
are under way, however, to stimulate
farm, dairy and cattle production,
as well as mining and local industry.
With many of the republics essential
food imports cut of through lack of
shipping, any increase in farm out
put now is especially welcome.
The United States Government is
cooperating with Venezuela, as with
other Latin American nations, in the
general effort to help meet the needs
and problems of the war. United
States economic experts have visited
the country, and a 20,000,00o credit
for Venezuela has been established
through the Export-Import Bank of
Washington.

mot in spite Of the war, but
really because of it, the National
Audubon Society has decided to
conduct its wildlife tours at Bulls
Island, S. c., this year."
Thus begins an intriguing an
nouncement of series of two-day
tours through December to an al
most tropical little isle. A unit OF
the Cape Roman National Wildlife
Refuge, it offers rare and enter
tanning respite from intense, nerve
tightening war work While more
than passing interest in America s
variety of winged creatures is ex-
pected, there Is no indication from
the tour leaders that only serious
students will be accepted. No more
than six persons will be taken on
each tour, however.
Arrangements are made with the
National Audubon Society, zoos Fifth
avenue, New York City, which, be-
fore the tours were announced, re-
ceived assurances of cooperation
by the United States Fish and Wild
life Service and the Coast Guard.
Two limitations have been imposed
this year: No cameras will be al
lowed; binoculars may be used only
under the direction of the tour
leader.
Reaching Charleston under ones
individual arrangements, the nature
lovers contact the tour leader and
go Is miles by station wagon over
the lovely Carolina low country to a
boat landing opposite the island. A
Government boat there picks up the
party, winding through the intricate
channels to the refuge Tourists,

Foreign Children Get Gifts
From Junior Red Cross

American children, despite the
war, will play Santa Claus to the
children of other nations this
Christmas.
Members of the American Junior
Red Cross have shipped 100000
Christmas gift boxes which they
packed themselves. OF this num-
ber. $4,000 boxes, each of which in
cluded candy package, were
shipped to Great Britain. The re-
mainder was divided among the
children of Ireland, Greenland, Ice
land, Alaska and II Central and
South American countries. Each
gift box contained an average of
II gifts. ranging from toys to such
practical articles as soap and tooth
brushes which are scarce in many
countries. Icelands children re-
ceived 5000 pencil boxes and 10000
candy bars.
Children in war relocation CEN
tiers in this country were not for
gotten. Christmas decorations and
toys were sent them.
When marines on Midway Island
sought two Santa Claus suits to
observe Christmas in that far-off
outpost in the traditional manner,
Junior Red Cross members of a
California high school provided
them.

SANTA FE, Dec. l9.-Christmas
celebrations in New Mexico which
have drawn tens of thousands of
tourists during the last few seasons
are radically changed this year be-
cause of war necessity.
The famous Christmas lights at
Madrid, N. Mex, are dimmed this
year for the first time since their
inauguration more than a decade
ago In recent years the little coal
mining town of Madrid, located 26
miles south of Santa Fe, with a
population of only 400, has drawn as
high as 100000 visitors during the
Christmas holidays
Each miners home had an out
door Christmas tree gayly lighted
all buildings were outlined in lights
and scores Of scenes from the Bible
were built on the mountainsides.
This year the lights will be con-
