Tour Of Plant Made
Following the talks the guests
circulated out into the plant to OBJ
tain a glimpse of the fabulous as
semzly line, one of the primary
contributors to Americas bright
new world
With guides on hand to explain it
all the guests attempted to grasp
the workings of the split second
timing which allows a car body
rolled along one side of the plant
to meet the chassis fitted to it at
the precise moment when it is ex-
peeted.
From parts taken from railroad
freight cars rolled into the plant
the body begins to take shape on
one side of the plant at the moment
that the chassis starts its past on
the other. Motion dominates the
whole scheme with the eonveyors
moving all of the time while work
ers do the job required in the time
allotted to them. Body parts are
installed on the ground floor, after
which the cOnveyor moves them up
stairs for painting and down again
to join the chassis, after which the
car moves out for delivery.
Only POntiacs and OldsmObiles
are on the lines now, with Bucks
due shortly. but each car on the

cheers including transfers and new
positions created, it was found that
approximately one position in each
four is held by a teacher who was
not employed in that position last
year. OF the requirements for this
turnover Y per cent have teaching
experience. One-half of this group
taught previously in Delaware
while the other half taught in some
other state.
Fifty-siX new positions were es-
tablished to meet the educational
needs of our youth and to make
more adequate provisions for the
increased enrolment that has been
evidenced during the past year. In
addition, seven departments were
re-established after being discon-
tinued during the war years.
Transfers from one Delaware
school to another accounted for 2l
per cent of the turnover. The per

line moves together in the order
that a customers order to a deal
er has been received at the plant.
However, the GIN guides insist,
there is never a chance that a Pom
tiac body will move down the line
to be confronted with an Oldsmo-
bile chassis.
At a press conference earlier in
the day Mr.. Wilson said that the
nations automobile industry should
produce five million cars this year,
but that it will take 1913 plus an
other year to catch up on orders. .
Mr. Wilson also explained his
theory on the 45-hOur work week
which he gives as his answer to
wage increase demands. In his plan
he would change the present 40
hour law to provide increased hour
ly pay for 45-hOur week, and pay
ing overtime for working in excess
of As hours.

VOLUNTEER PROGRAMS
 CALLED FLOP
lBv The Associated Pressl

(By The Assuc,aUed Press)
 Defense officials said today the volunteer enlistment program for 13-year-olds has been flop, and they plan to renew their appeal for universal military training.
 Only 13,3o0 teen-agers have vol unteered for the one-year hitch to be followed by six years in civ ilian reserve organization. The program calls for 161, ,000.
 Defense authorities said the next Congress will be asked to enact a program for universal training sim liar to the one requested by Presi- dent Truman. That arrangement would provide for six months of continuous training for IS and 19 year-olds in a military camp. fol- lowed by an additional training period in the National Guard or Reserves. t
 A volunteer program for 18-year- olds was tackled onto the Draft Act as last-minute compromise. It was first proposed by Defense officials that this one-year train- ing for 18-year-old be made com pulsory but Congress put it on a voluntary basis.
 The Army said it had succeeded in signing up only 10500 of the 18-year-clds to date. The Air

COLD SNAP

 The autumn's first real cold snap moved southeastward across the northern plains states today and weather forecasters warned that it would reach the Atlantic Coast by tomorrow.
 Killing frosts were expected in many sections of the midwest but weather experts said the cold wealth CT would help crops, particularly corn, rather than harm them.
 At this stage, virtually all the corn has been laid by and the cold will help to dry out the kernels" ]" the weather bureau said.
 However, forecasters warned mo- torists that temperatures as far south as northern Illinois, would drop low enough to bring damage to automobiles tonight if they were not in garages.

 Some scattered snow flurries were predicted for tomorrow and Mon- day in the upper lakes region. Oc- casional light showers or snow fur ries were forecast for the lowe lakes on Monday and Tuesday.

Why can't the armed forces get enough voluntary enlistments to increase their strength to the au- thorized numbers?
 The Navy Marines and Air Force can. They're doing it now, and it looks as though they'll be able to keep it up.
 If you've been tcld that when you get drafted you'll be able to make a choice among the four branches of the service, don't believe it. You may be able to make a choice, but you can only win if you choose the Army.
 It's dollars to doughnuts that the Navy, Marines and Air Force will be ahle to keep their strengths at the authorized levels without draft ing anyone.
 There are reason for this. The Army must climb from 550.000 to 837 ,0OO men. The Navy and Ma rines have to go from 469,000 to 666 1882, which is only about 69 percent of the Army increase. The Air Force must climb from 382, ,000 to 502,O00, only 120,000 compared to the Army increase of 287,0o0.
 The Navy has it's submarines, its PTS and it's destroyers, the Air Force . it's jet fighters and enor- nous bombers and the Marines have a glamour which perhaps tops them all
 The Army does have tanks ane flame throwers and airborne divis- ions. But what do you think oi first when you think of the Army?
 You think of the infantry, the foot soldier with his leggings, his cartridge belt, his rifle and his sore feet. No glamour there?

Of interest to every Juneaulte who uses electricity is the peti- ton read at last nights meet ing of the City Council, whereby the Alaska Electric Light and Pow CT Company petitions to increase it's rates, and requests a hearing to present it's case Lengthy dis cussions and research brought out pertinent legal and other facts, and the Council voted to request answers to a questionnaire about valuations and capital investments before setting a time for the hear ing. The Light Company petition was signed by w. S. Pullen, Presi- dent.
 Third and final reading of Ordi- nance No. 324 prohibiting money boards and other gambling devices resulted in its unanimous passage.
 On due motion, the Council vot- ed that, in cooperation with the owners of the Davis estate on Six tn Street between Franklin and Seward, a concrete retaining wall and sidewalk are to be installed, provided the owners deed the nec- essary property to the city for the installation.

 You might as well get used to the idea of going into the Army because if you go anywhere that's almost certainly where it will be,
 You probably know that you won't be called for at least 21 days after you've taken your pre-in- duction physical and mental ex- animation and passed them. As soon as that happens you go on list. Also on the list are others all ready to be drafted. They and you make up the "pool' from which Selective Service will ladle out manpower as the Army needs it.
 Say. for instance, that the Army needs 3OOO0 men in January. They tell Selective Service headquarters, which quickly notified each local board what its quota will be and when the draftees must be called

 Instead they found that the quest for gold is now performed by huge diedges directed by men who learn ed about the precious metal in a university laboratory
 What began as summer work in Colorado resort turned into an international holiday for these lads.
 With a grubstake from tips, the four started north in a station wagon loaded for camping. When they ran short of cash, tEey went to work. Somewhere en route through the Canadian provinces the Eoys learned of the tight regula- tions about foreigners without cash. But the Alaska border looked closer than Texas so they kept rolling.

 Crossing the border into Alaska all four worked briefly in a lum- Ter camp-and then headed for the gold fields.
 They worked at the Fairbanks Exploration company's placer camp. The big dredge sucks dust and nuggets from the gravel where gold rush day prospectors once made famous strikes. After a month on the job, Sam and Wick looked like sourdoughs they were expecting here. Both had grown thriving boards.

Asks Divorce from
Preacher-hubbv

PHILADELPHIA, June Is. CA
NP)-Rev. Benjamin d. Thomp-
son, pastor of New Jerusalem
Baptist church, is being sued for
divorce by his wife, Mrs. Eva C.
Boswell Thompson, who charged
her husband with cruel and bar
barous treatment, desertion and
indignities to the person.
According to an order issued by
the municipal court in September,
1916, Rev. Thompson was ordered
to pay $3.50 to his wife for the
support of herself and their two
children, Eva Mae, 10, and Ruth,
9, Thompson's petition for a re-
hearing in the order was dismiss
ed in December, 1947.
Mrs. Thompson stated further
that she was compelled to work
outside to supplement the income
and said that Rev. Thompson was
capable of supporting his family
with his salary of 5000, vacation
money and pension from the u.
S. post office of $73 per month,
plus rents from properties, but
was unwilling to do so. She con-
tends that their children were be-
ing brought up in a home which
did not express the Christian life
which their father advocated from
the pulpit.
Mrs. Thompson is represented
by Raymond Pace Alexander,
prominent Philadelphia lawyer.
