American life has moved at swifter tempo since Pearl Harbor. And it promises to accelerate greater demands met by modern man and woman. Thus in keeping with modern trends are the sectional furniture which has already proved so popular here in the Gastineau Channel area. It is a trend you will find wherever you go, in the swanky club rooms along Fifth Avenue, in stream lined apartments of the bachelor or bachelor girl, in the homes you envy for their solid fireside comfort.

Open Letter

Will you please publish this
open letter to the WHY'S
Overland Safety Committee:
Your committee has been
and is still doing a fine job
for the men and women in the
plant. Yet, it is my belief that
you should go still further.
For instance you should
insist that fire extinguisher
become a part of standard
equipment in the vehicles
which you produce.
Out on the highway, far
from any fire fighting equip
ment, numerous a d e n t
occur in which ire occurs in
one, or even sometimes more
than one of the cars which
may be involved in a crash.
And, as so often occurs, oc-
cupants in the car on fire are
trapped and unable to aid
themselves escape.
Passersby, attarcted to the
accident are always eager to
help the victims of a car
crash, particularly if there is
a fire which requires fast
work, and which sometimes
fails to save the trapped
victims because the flames are
too hot for them to get near
the car.
Think what fire-fighting
equipment would mean if it
were standard on even one
make of car. 1t would mean
the saving of lives, even if it
occurred occasionally. They
carry everything on a Jeep.
Why not fire fighting equip
ment of all makes of WHY'S
Overland cars?
With the number of cars on
the increase as well as the
high speeds which cars travel
n o W a d ays, accidents will
surely be on the increase.
Maybe most of the fire ex-
tinguishers would never have
an occassio nto be used, but,
has it ever occurred to you
that there is absolutely no
danger in precaution or added
safety features in automobiles.
Fraternally yours,
Fritz Kulti
P. S. This should not be
used as an excuse to raise the
price of WHY'S cars.

There were few fellows
from Dept. No. IL who couldn't
get their cup of coffee last
week, due to the fact that the

that made her quite disap-
pointed, so she refused to make
their coffee.

Seeing Eye-w.o Unit

why take CIldIlCSS WIN JONA
vision? You only have your
sight once, protect your eyes by
wearing safety glasses while
working in the factory. There
must be hundreds of employees
who have faulty vision and need
glasses to correct it, but cannot
afford the inflated prices. BY
an arrangement worked out be-
tween the Safety Dept. and man
agement, we have cut those in
flated prices to pieces. How?
BY getting one of our prescrip-
ton blanks, going to an eye doc
tor or optician, getting your
eyes tested, and getting them to
fill out the prescription and re-
turning it to the Safety Dept.
Just across the subway from
Factory Hospital in as Bldg.
basement. west. Remembering
that unless you have had your
eyes tested within one year you
will have to pay for the eye ex-
animation. Those who went to
an optician, the examination was
included in the total price, If you
went to an eye doctor it was
separate, from five to seven and
a half dollars. When the Safety
Dept. received the prescription,
a purchase order is attached to
it and it is sent to the American
Optical Co. here in Toledo and
your safety glasses will be
ground to fit your eyes, frame
built to the contour of your face,
returned and you will have a
pair of the. finest safety glasses
that money will buy. In a few
weeks the small sum that these
glasses cost will be deducted
from your check. Prices-Single
vision $3.50, double or as COM
monty known Bi-focale $3.50 or
maybe a little less according to
the condition of your eyes.
Tinted single visions $3.50,
double vision tinted $3.50.
Every person in the factory
should take this opportunity and
buy pair so as to protect your
precious eyes during your work
Aday. Yes, even wearing them all
" the time. Lens come for males
in two sizes, so and AZ. Women
should take advantage of this
also. Their lens come in as size.
If the glasses cost anymore the
management will pay all addi-
tional costs. AS your Union
Safety Man I am asking you to
take advantage of this generous
offer and protect your eyes so
you can see your loved ones each
day for the rest of your life. If
you are now wearing a pair of
those high-priced fragile glasses,
leave them at home for reading
or decorative purposes when
you have visitors.

Did you parade Labor Day?
If not, you missed one of the

there is nothing that puts pep
