TREE cHows THROUGH ROOF

Bardwell, Ky.-AP-A huge
blackberry tree growing through
the floor and out of the roof of
a Bardwell restaurant has become
a landmark. Curious tourists are
told this story By 7~4-year-old
Francis w. Turk, restauranteur-
tree fancier.
Some years ago while driving
through the country, Turk saw a
sapling washed out by rains and
destined to die. He took the sap
ling home and set it out in the
corner of his front yard. 1t flour
ished into a sizeable tree by the
time Hunk decided to build a res
taurant on the site.
81 love trees" he said.
A contractor bowed to Turks
feelings and built around the tree.
The tree trunk now is IL inches
in diameter. Patrons hang their
hats on the blackberry trees
spikes.

Auto Makers Still
Have Backlog OF
Untitled Orders
By DAVID J. wrLKIE
APP Reporter

Observation-Disclosures l94f
will 90 down in the automobile
industry's record books as a year
of approximately normal volume
but of virtually no reduction In
the biggest backlog OF untitled or
ders in its history.
When the final figures are tap
ulated officially - sometime III
January - they will show that
factories in the United States as
sembled about 3,550,000 passen-
ger arr and 1925, 900 commercial
units. They will show also that
orders for new cars, especially IN
the low and middle price groups,
have piled up as fast as factories
have produced them.
That brings the industry to the
year-end with a bank of untitled
car orders still estimated at up
ward of 5000, 900.
And, although several larger
volume manufacturers say pro-
duction may increase from 10 to
IS percent next year, they virtu-
ally all agree that orders on their
books will keep assembly lines
going for 10 months or more.
Quite generally, car makers
agree demands have leveled of
for higher priced automobiles ano
for heavy-duty commercial We
hicles.
The industry's l947 production
achievements r especially note
worthy because of the obstacles
it encountered in maintaining
supply lines. Every company wa'
compelled at some time or othel
terials shortages, particularly
to halt operations because OF ma
sheet steel.
Yet with the possible exception
of Packard, every manufacture
attained a volume that returned
high net earnings. Packard, earl.
in the postwar period, saw many
of its steel supply sources cut gu
from under il by mergers, consoi
idations and outright purchases
and fell considerably below
scheduled production Levels.
The car makers escaped maJo
work storloages in their owl
plants throughout the year, pp
were plagued by strikes agains
suppliers. AT one time some man
ufacturers were forced to shlI
finished automobiles without car
buretors because of a prolonged
strike in the factories of a car
buretor manufacturer.
The earlier models to come on
in l949 are expected to empha
size this trend further. Otherwis'
few major changes are expecte'
until 1949 models come out. Ae
cording to present planning, thes'
probably will start coming II
midsummer.
Outstanding features OF tn
l949 models will include new en-
gines, generally of higher com
preston ratios, and further de
velopment of automatic gearshift
and transmissions. The new car
undoubtedly will be lower an
many of the low-prieed lines WI
be lighter.
