Strauss Gantz, general manager
of the Wyandotte News Herald. left
last Friday for trip to the South
west where he is visiting several
Frequency Meditation radio sta

ton, as the plans for the News
Herald FIN Station WJJW are pro-
crossing rapidly.
ALI CIVILIANS should travel dur
ing war time. 1t boosts the soldiers
morals. They enjoy seeing civilians
get bumped. Plane travel is especial
ly recommended. First the armed
forces are seated. Then they load
the mail. Next comes air freight
Finally II there is room out on the
wing they hand you blanket with
instructions to hold ON. You can hop
O plane from the Detroit City Air
port which is like the union depot
on Fort street only smellier. If De-
troit expects to be the air hub of
the nation, they can convert the air
terminal into "for men" and for
women" and start building from
there.
At three in the morning the trip
TO Chicago is one grand snooze.
They might just as we'll have ugly
stewardesses on that run. No one
appreciates their beauty. They just
see who can snore the loudest. The
Chicago terminal Is a little better.
The seats are made of softer wood.
They have a restaurant where you
don't dare open your mouth for
fear the prices viii take the gold
from your teeth.
You keep your fingers crossed as
the plane takes off through the
snow bound for Kansas City. Up
seven thousand feet and you hit a
hole In the sky which drops you
down and brings your Chicago
breakfast up. That's when you learn
those cardboard containers under
your seaa aren't coffee cups. You
toss around up there for three hours
wondering If you are alive and wish
ing you were dead. Just when there
isn't anything left In you to come
up you come down at Kansas City
tor more passengers.
There you pray they don't call
POUR name. They never say We're
going to have to take you off for the
military, it's the more definite
Sorry, you've just been removed
Here's your baggage.
At Dallas, Texas you start new
life. Everyone picks a spot on the
terminal floor and sets up light
housekeeping. It's one big happy
family and everyone plays gin
rummy. II you're lucky and can get
plane out in two days you are
sad and don't want to leave your
new friends. Besides the legend
about the beautiful girls in Texas is
not q myth and you walk around in
. dream wondering why your pub
fisher doesn't open a branch news
paper office in Dallas.
Two days and two nights later
they drag you aboard a plane up
up, up In the sky then right smack
down again, still in Dallas. You be-
gin to think It's sign of something
Bad weather set in they tell you
but you have already met the pilo,
and know all about his girl in Dali
las. BY this time they are sleeping
head to toe In the terminal so you
park the body in the plane out or
the field.
It's warm night. the stars are
out and the eyeful stewardess Is
singing something soft and soulful
about the beautiful state of Texas
Your bad eye goes to sleep but al
the while your good optic Is rolling
around In your head dreaming
about cowboys and Indians and
maybe the bellies of Texas.

Foreign Insurance
The life insurance companies OF
the United States have never shown
any great inclination to write life
insurance in foreign countries, add
ing that today there are few Amerl-
can companies operating outside the
continental limits of the United
States. Several Canadian companies,
however, have a fairly large life in
a portfolio overseas. In this
connection the countries chosen by
the United States and Canadian COM
panies operating in the foreign field
are generally more stable and con-
sequently there is less risk of dis
turbance to foreign corporations in
such countries.

LOST MOTION is an enemy of
sprosperity, serious as fire. 1t de-
lstroys property and wastes ener-
Igy.. This is just as true IN a
human organization as in a me-
chanical assembly. Nobody is
richer for employing a crew that
keeps busy all day and accom-
lplishes nothing. On a farm, for
Example, work is necessary;
sweat and ~callouses are inciden-
tails. It's the crop that brings in
the money and pays the men.
Prosperity results from work
but not from all work. Prosperity
results from productive work.
People who keep busy but don't
increase the yield might as well
be resting. The man who figures
out a way to increase yield with
out extra labor is the best man
on the job. He works with his
brain; knows enough to stop lost
motion, to take precautions
against fire, and the like. 9Sse
