ELEANOR AND THE RULER,

Our President apparently is no
longer a servant of the people. He
is now a ruler" This we CLEAN
from the letters of Mrs. Roosevelt
who has been fitting about from
island to island in the South Pa
cific. The change was made known
in the column she writes daily, a
column which gains wide circula-
ton not on its informative worth,
but rather on its White House en-
vironment. Telling of a reception
given her by Zealanders she EN-
phasizes that they. were not hon
oring an individual, but a country
and a ruler"
Perhaps the plain people who
contribute to the expense of her
jaunt and serve under the ruler"
should have some information as
to the status of Mrs. Roosevelt on
her trip. If we have remembered
her writings clearly she explained
that the journey was suggested by
the President one day as they were
going up in the White House lift"
Our American elevators have be-
come lifts" This explanation
would indicate that she is an en-
issary of the President, and should
dispel any suspicion that she went
to the South Pacific as a corre-
spondent for the syndicate which
copyrights and sells her daily let
tiers,
Properly she may be either an

THE SCHINE ORGANIZATION
is trying to do a great deal for
Army Emergency Relief by turn
ing the entire proceeds from the
premiere of This is the Army"
over to this great and worthy
cause. 1t is up to the people of our
community to support this gen.
erous gesture on the part of the
Schine organization. 1t is hoped
that $4,000 will be raised locally
for the Army Relief Fund. This
amount, multiplied by 1855 Schine
Theatres which will run a premiere
will turn over a huge amount for
this benefit.
Certainly. it is up to us, the peo-
pie of Milford, who have fathers,
sons, sisters and brothers in the
service, to lend our support to
this cause and by seeing that there
isn't a seat vacant at the pre-
miere showing of This is the
Army" Army Emergency Relief
is going to take care of the boys
and their families of this COM
munity when the need arises. We,
as public-spirited citizens, must
contribute our share for this relief
because a fighting man without
worries back home, is a better
fighter.
Milford may well be proud of it's
record in contributing and sup
porting every worthy war move
ment that it has been asked to
help. Now comes the greatest of
them all, and Milford again will
rally to the call. We do not know
how many seats are still unsold
but suggest that the complete sell
out be guaranteed by those per-
sons who have not as yet secured
tickets to contact the committee or
the theatre Immediately and pur-
chase the admission tickets. Let us
adopt the slogan, There shall be
no empty seats for the Army Emer-
yehcy Relief premiere of This is
he Army in Milford"

WHEN CONGRESS CUT the ap-
preparation for the Office of War
Information on the ground that it
was being used as political prop
aganda bureau, many New Dealers
screamed that Congress was inter-
fering with the war.
Elmer Davis, the director of
OWL, sulked and spoke of resign
ing if Congress took away any of
his money.
But now, after only two months
of operation on the new budget.
Palmer Hoyt, publisher of the Port
land "Oregonian" and the new di-
rector of the domestic division, is
quoted by the New York Herald
Tribune as saying OWL is "Oper-
ating on as sound a basis, if not
sounder, than previously" With
sos fewer job-holders.
Score one for Congress. One

1T WON'T GO DOWN in the his
tory books under that name, but
194S might well be called The Year
of the Tomato. Is there any gard
ener within sight or hearing who
hasn't all but buried himself un-
der tomatoes? OF course not. They
have even been harvesting toma-
toes from window boxes. And right
now many persons in frost-haunted
sections of the nation are rapidly
burying themselves under green
tomatoes while they frantically
scald, crush and strain the last
high tide of ripe ones and fill the
ketchup and chill sauce kettles.
Nobody would say anything but
the kindest words for the tomato.
1t is a friendly, healthful vege-
table, or fruit-and let's not quib-
BILE about classifications. 1t oozes
vitamins, and even more delec-
table things. 1t has flavor and sub
stance and color. If it doesn't help
you to see at night, it ought to, for
it outse1ls carrots on most tables.
And it certainly helps you to see
on the morning after.
In any normal season there are
just about enough tomatoes to go
generously. Somebody sees
to such things. But this season
with a spade blister on
his hand set out tomato plants, and
The season. in these parts anyway,
was just right for tomato culture.

WHEN THE CURRENT WAR

WHEN THE CURRENT WAR
ends the United States will prob
ably have national debt of $780,
600, ,000,0 900. That, according to some
economists, in view of the present
rate of spending, is a conservative
estimate. Thus, in addition to the
billions already spent and yet to
be spent. the nation will have to
shoulder the staggering debt of
10000, 100000. Americans yet un-
born will pay the interest on that
debt, and if it is liquidated unborn
generations will have to liquidate
it.
Taxes did not pay for the first
World War while it was being
fought. The obligations incurred
by the American people during
that war, among them the repudi-
ated debts the Allies owed the Am
erican people, did not cease when
the war did. Americans who start
ed to paying income taxes as
war burden a quarter of a century
ago are still paying for the first
World War, and they are now pay
ing for another war.

Mr.. Ford reads widely and on
a variety Of subjects. but he
seems prouder of his knowledge
of the six McGuffey Readers
than Of any other unassailable
school-book maxim. Recently
he had printed for friends and
employees 5000 copies, in leath-

DEARBORN, April i - Hen
ry Ford, now approaching 80,
refuses TO become an armchair
executive.
The Motor Master and his
aides start each full and busy
day in a manner reminiscent of
an automobile load of Omen
descending on gangsterS hide
out.
Their cars are equipped with
! tWo-Way radios. From his car,
Mr.. Ford broadcastS TO sub-ex
ecutivcs. Army representatives
and plant protection officers in
other cars, announcing the stops
! that lie ahead on the days trip
through the Ford Administra
ton Building. thus carrying on
work that he otherwise might
have to stay at his desk to do.
This radio arrangement is de-
signed not for dramatic effect,
but for efficiency and time saw
ing. Time is particularly vital
today, with the entire Ford or
ganization geared TO highspecd
war production. And the COM
panys founder rs just as busy
as his employees.
MIR. Ford still finds time, how
ever, TO drop in at the Mary and
Martha Chapel in Greenfield
Village for morning services.
There he joins the local. school
children in psalms, prayers and
hymns.
The morning services arc at 9
O'Clock, two hours after MIR.
Ford's regular rising hour. He
usually works til ;, and often
later. Nowadays he generally
goes directly from the chapel to
the immense Willow Run bomb
er factory, some 20 miles from
the River Rouge plant, hub OF
the Ford industrial empire.
ROUND-TABLE LUNCHEON
If someone has struck a me-
chanical snag the day before,
anywhere along the line in any
Of the plants, Mr.. Ford will give
the trouble his personal atten-
ton. For, although he may not
know all the administrative de-
tails of his vast enterprises, he
has picture of the whole IN
dustrial layout in mind.
Fifty years ago Henry Ford
resolved that he always would
be a working man" He has
stuck 10 that resolution. Still
essentially mechanic, his inter-
est in mechanical problems is
genuine. A good part of each
day is spent with machinists,
looking, asking questions, MAX
+ ing suggestions. His veteran and
intimate associates say they have
never heard him give peremp-
tory executive order TO one Of his
workmcn. Usually it's something
like this: II believe if you'd do
it this way it might work.
Mr.. Ford's work day is pune
tuated by the famous round
table gathering of his executives
at lunch. This takes place in
the simple paneled dining room
of the Engineering Laboratory in
| Dearborn The laboratory also
houses Mr.. Fords offices, where
he is seldom TO be found, and a
shining Immediately clean ma
chine shOp. some 800 by 200 feet
in area. which usually sees the
company's founder at least once
during the day.

WPB Drive Nets
$4,000 Tons Of
Steel in Detroit

All war industries in Michigan
and Toledo are cooperating 10
the fullest extent with the War
Production Boards current share
the steel" drive.
Preliminary reportS indicate
that in excess of 80 900 tons Of
steel have been turned back VOL
unfairly to WPB, according 10 -,
j. HutchinS, Detroit regional di-
rector. A number OF large COM
panies remain 10 be heard from
and final tabulations are expected
TO increase the total considerably.
The steel already turned IN is
sufficient TO build 40 additional
destroyer escort vessels which
otherwise could not have been
produced.
The effort Rre is part of a
nationwide program TO obtain
two million additional tons for the
remainder OF this year.
One-third Of this goal is eX-
pected TO be obtained by stepping
up production Of existing furnaces.
An equal amount will be produced
by new furnaces being rushed 10
completion. The remainder will
be provided by steel-consuming
industries which are being asked
10 reanalyZe their allotmcnts, 10
carry shorter inventories and 10
reduce the amount of material
which they have in process.
