Ford, like Dir. Carver, was a very
religious man.
II cherish a great deal the auto
graphed Bible that received from
Mr.. Ford. During the conversation
with him at the time he gave II
TO me I recall q statement he made:
The trouble with the world IL there
Ia too much greed. creed and selfish
ness"
Edward Swan, executive secre-
tary Of the Detroit Branch NAACP,
said: I'VE deeply regret the pass
ing Of a great Industrial leader
who, through training facilities Of
his plant, provided the sole source
through which Negro youth might
be trained In industrial skills In
Detroit. These men will be n living
monument TO his vision. II iS hoped
that In his memory other industries
and trades will open their training
facilities 10 Negro youth as he did"
Henry Ford was the first great
American industrialist 10 see that
American industry must employ
people on the basis Of democracy"
said the Rev. Horace A. White. pas
tor Of Plymouth Congregational
church. "He started the trend
toward training Negroes for higher
skills In industry when others
doubted that the Negro had q CON
tTibution to mako above that Of
common labor Mr.. Ford con-
tributed more 10 have Negroes
realize their dream Of becoming
inteRrRted into American industry
than any other single man in the
United States. Mr.. Ford placed
his faith and hope in the inherent
worth Of the common man"
In 1888 Ford visited Inkster,
small village 20 miles west Of De
trOit. and after talk with some
Of the Negro residents living there,
had the village redcsigned on his
credit, including In the new con
struction large community center.
Most Of the Negro residents Of
lnkster are employed at the Ford
River Rouge plant.
Willis Ward, former University
Of Michigan track and football
star, and Jesse Owens, former
Olympic sprint and broad jump
champion. were at one time en-
ployed in the personnel department
~ the Ford River Rouge plant.
William WomRck is now filling the
post.
In addition. Arthur Price Is
among the employees in the higher
salary bracket In the purchasing
department.
Claude Harvard. who has three
inventions In the Ford plant, grad
uRted from the Ford Trade school
that was established by Ford in
1915.
In respect Of his attitude toward
Negroes, thousands Of them viewed
his body as il lay In state at Green
field Village, and more thousands
stood In the rain outside the church
Thursday for the funeral, The last
three persons to gain entrance to
the church were Negroes.

ironing, said That's the best thing
you have In the house"
Although Ford never made
contribution 10 the church. he was
always friendly with the Daniels.
Negro Had Chance 10 Invest With
Ford
Long before he quickened com
munication and transportation with
his development Of the gasoline
engine. Ford met Henry Gregory.
Gregory was employed ~ an
engineer at tho J. l.. Hudson Co,
large department store, and Ford
was doing similar work for the Ed
son Co. Both were later students
at nm electrical school, attending
night classes.
When Ford launched his company
To manufacture the Ford ear, he
offered Gregory q chance TO invest
some money In the company, but
like hundreds Of other Detroiters,
Gregory believed II was a fantastic
idea. An investment Of n hundred
dollars would have made Gregory
u millionaire today.

ton To Negro schools. but the Ford

High Heel Pose
Walking Problem
BY ALICIA HART

Girls who plan to wear the
higher heels which are stepping
into fashion ought to begin
training their feet to walk more
sure-footedly.
It's not easy to SWING feet in
rhythmic tread if they're hoist
ed by three-inch heels, but it
can be done.
The trick of putting a
rhythmic pattern into your
walk is to time your steps and
measure your strides. The best
way to time your steps is to
use a one = two = three mental
count, like a dance instructor
uses when teaching the rhumba.
Best measure for your stride is
one-and = one : half times the
length of your foot.
ALI set for walking? Let's go,
putting the down-beat on the ball
of your front foot. Practice this
until you've mastered rhythm.
Once you've got it, you'll not
only be able to sail off more
gracefully in spindly heels, but
you'll be able to get around on
them with less fatigue.
