used as show room, sales depart
ment and offices.
Complete Present Building
Then, in 1928, the building on
S. Plum st. was completed with
construction of sales department,
offices and show rooms, and has
remained essentially the same
ever since. However, a body and
fender department has been add
ed on the south end of the build
ing, and a frame Strengthening
shop also constructed.
1t was in 1919 that August
Vollrath joined Mr.. Huffman in
the automobile business. He
worked there six months as a me-
chanic, then became a partner in
the firm. Prior to returning to
Marysville, Mr.. Vollrath was as
ISOLATED with the Ohio Buick Co.
in Cleveland.
The automobile business has
come a long ways since Mr.. Huff
man first started in it back in
1911.
Had to Give Lessons
In those days, we had to give
driving lessons whenever we sold
a car - sometimes to as many as
three and four different members
of a family" he recalls.
Parts of an automobile which
today are considered standard
essentials were listed as extras"
in those days.
"AH the list price included was
chassis, body and lenders" Mr..
Huffman said. Everything else
= windshield, top, headlights,
bumpers, and many other things
were accessories and priced ex-
ira"
The self-starter came into be-
ing about the time of World War
I and for some time thereafter, it
was the most expensive accessory
the motorist could buy.
"The s~elf-starter used to sell
for S225 extra" Mr.. Huffman
added, land l used to tell people
they could buy a lot of gasoline
for that p~rice!"

The extended time of Mr..

Mr.. Rohr has expressed the

This happened in neighboring
Delaware, but it's worth repeat
ing in Marysville -.
The congregation in the Will
liam St. Methodist Church in
Delaware let out an audible
chuckle on Easter Sunday when
the Rev. Sherry Bell announced
from the pulpit, And now we

mented,
"Just a glance out the window
at the swirling snowflakes could
have caused anyone to wonder
about the season and the special
day at hand"
Things must be getting back
to normal
At least, we had another ante
hellum nuisance in the office
Saturday in the person of a fe-
male high-pressure magazine
salesman, the first since before
the war.
You probably remember the
method of operation which they
use. 1t goes something like this:
A beauteous babe comes into
the office, generally with a part
ner, introduces herself by her
first name and inquiries after

from the start.
Then she tells you she is try

charm and personality and i'm
plying better things to come.
Worst feature of these gals is
that they always come in when
you're busy and won't take a
polite, Sorry, not interested"
for an answer.
Often have we wondered why
girls like that try to sell maya
zines for a living, unless it is
more lucrative than one might
think. Undeniably, they've got
good looks a-plenty, and the act
ing they go through trying to
sell a magazine makes n think
they'd do all right on the stage.
Saturdays bright sunshine

ject of fishing, and who can
blame them after a week of jan

Charley Smith, line foreman

Company, was the only one who
was ag'in it. He recited every OBJ

F. cold, wind not right, fish not

Then the truth finally came
out it was Charley's week
end to stay in Marysville so he'd
be on call in case of an emer-

il he wanted to.
Charley, it might be added, is
one of the towns more ardent

Birds in migration come through more
or less on schedule, irrespective of the
weather.
One of the best is the kinglet, that
elf of the bird world.
Not as small as the hummingbird, it
nevertheless is tiny enough, as it dips
into the shrubbery soft green figure
resembling something made by master
potter.
The ruby crown. and the golden crown
Ghere are two species) are not often
seen, being buried in the general green
Of the feathers.
Rhododendrons are much liked by
these birds. Any householder having
rhodes near a window is sure to see
kinglet.
The bird likes to eat small insects and
their eggs.
Many insects put their eggs on the
under sides Of leafs. for projections
sake, but in doing so they reckon with
out the kinglet.
This tiny creature will be, one mo-
ment, on top of the leaf.
Suddenly, in the twinkling, he is on
the underside.
This is done SO swiftly the human eye
cannot follow it.
If you see green bird which reminds
you of porcelain figure, rather than q
real living thing. the chance is that you
have seen the kinglet. or little king.

This and That

A. NJ S. of Nineteenth street sends a
picture of two young opossums caught in
large bird house, not able to get out
because they had grown too fat.
Birds flying in migration
Cats wearing bells
Greedy possums caught by their own
greed
These are some everyday happenings
in the world of nature, such as any one
may find in his own back yard.
Town officials who solemnly pass regu-
lations to "bell the cat" know little about
cats, and less about birds.
If they did, they would realize that
tall tales of the many birds each cat
kills every year are nothing but old
wives tales, as the saying has it.
Careful observation shows that there
are two sorts of house cats, those which
kill birds, and those which do not.
Probably not one cat in 100 Is true
bird killer.
The rest catch them only now and
then-instead of the theoretical 400"
which certain persons are inclined to
hurl into the face of the friends of cats.
There are literally thousands and
thousands of cats which have never
killed 40 birds, or even 10, in a lifetime.
It seems absurd for hunter, who
kills steadily all his life, to smear the
poor cat because it takes q bird now
and then. #

Aircraft Carriers and the A-Bomb

The significance of the Navys disclosure that
successful landings have been made on an air
craft carrier by the ALL, new attack bomber
capable of carrying an atomic bomb, will not
be lost on our potential enemies. This means
that the usefulness of carriers in atomic warfare
has been greatly increased. If a carrier can
receive as well as launch planes large enough
to deliver the A-bomb, its operational field will
not be limited to ocean areas from which such
planes can safely reach a friendly airstrip. It
could either take back its own planes after
strike or send them to another carrier con-
venienty placed to receive them.
The ALL, built by North American Aviation,
is combination piston-and-je plane with a
speed in excess of $50 miles an hour. 1t has two
conventional engines In front and jet in the
TAIL the latter capable of accelerating the plane
quickly when high speed is required Develop
ment of this heavy carrier bomber is further
evidence that the Navy Is far from convinced
that the carrier is an obsolete weapon. If any
thing can give the aircraft carrier q new lease
on life, the ALL is likely to do 1t.

Putting bells on cats to warn birds
of their approach is like painting sin

rarely the cat catches bird and then
only because instinct forces her to pro-

"She is not as cold blooded as man in
his indiscriminate hunting and killing.

million for Far East arms aid. The bulk
will go to Indo-C China. And only last
week top American officials said France

help in the next three years.
No roundup of what aid already has

Failure in the Philippines

The report of the Philippine commission
headed by Daniel w. Bell tells the unhappy story
of an experiment in democracy in Asia which,
IL it has not already failed, has come perilously
close to failure.
Mr.. Truman had not intended to release the
report at this time. 1t was to be held up until
q program of aid for the Philippine Republic
could be worked out Word of its contents leaked
out, however, and this hastened its publication.
The Star can see no reason why the infor-
nation in the report should not have been made
available promptly to the people of both coun-
tries. For it is perfectly clear that the Philip
pine Republic cannot survive unless drastic re-
forms are put into effect without delay.
Despite a rs per cent increase in population,
both agricultural and industrial production are
below the prewar level. The governments
finances have reached critical stage, with taxes
covering little more than so per cent of expendi-
lures. Imitation is rampant, the salaries of some
public employees have not been paid, and the
economic status of agricultural and industrial
workers is wretched. The principal finding of
the report may be summarized in few words:
A government that is inefficient and, in some
respects, corrupt, has done little or nothing to
improve the living standards of the mass of the
people while permitting businessmen and the
large landowners to take substantial profits
Quite naturally the Communicated Hukbalahap
movement is exploiting the discomfort of the
people, and the internal political situation is
certain to deteriorate rapidly unless comprehen-
sive reforms are put into effect
The Bell commission recommends program
OF action including tax and land reforms, agri-
cultural aids, diversfcation of the economy, free
union organization, minimum wages and gov
ernmental reorganization. The commission also
recommends that the United States provide
financial assistance to the extent of $3.50 million
provided, and only provided, that the recon-
mended reforms are put into effect.
If the Philippine government will vigorously
pursue the proposed measures, the commission
believes that with aid from the United States
the republic can, in time, work out its problems
Everything depends, however, on the govern
ment's attitude If 1t will not institute the re-
forms, there will be no American aid and no
hope for the future of this Asiatic republic
Financial aid, without the internal reforms,
might delay the explosion. But the end result
would be failure. So the future of the Philip
pines rests with the governing elements in the
islands. They will ultimately salvage or ruin
this experiment in self-government in the Far
East.

China also are curious mixture. Thus,
we see soldiers of former Axis partners
shooting at each other. Some $4,000
Wehrmacht veterans are Foreign Legion
naires, while, according to the French,
many former Jap officers anC men joined
Ho rather than surrender after World
War II. And, as a final touch, there
are indications both Chinese Communist
and Chinese Nationalist veterans are
part of the 100,eo0-man rebel army.
The French say their present force of
100000 (made up of Legionnaires. Mo-
roccans Senegalese, metropolitan troops
and Indo-C Chinese) is big enough to crush
the insurrection. An embassy spokesman
here. paraphrasing Churchill, put 1t this
way:
Give us the firepower and we'll finish

detectives of the Planning Bill

Because there have been SO many miSunder
standings as to the scope and purposes OF the
National Capital Planning Commission BILL the
House District Committee has made q sensible
move in asking sponsors of the proposed legisla-
ton to submit detailed analysis and explana-
tion of all sections of the bill. Unless the reor
ganization plan is fully understood by all men,
berS of the committee and by all members of
Congress, there will be little hope of securing
enactment during the short session which begins
next month.
1t Had been thought until recently that all
opposition to the plan for enlarging the authority
and membership of the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission had ended. Now,
however, Representative Fallon of Maryland has
expressed fear that the bill will encroach on
rights Of the States-more specifically, the SOW
ereign rights of Maryland and Virginia. Mr..
Fallon has asked the Maryland Attorney General
for an opinion on this point Mr. Fallon and
members of the National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission disagree as to the meaning of
certain phraseology relating to authority of the
commission outside the District of Columbia
The Maryland Congressman was quoted as
believing the bill, as drawn, would permit the
commission to plan the development of Baltimore
as well as that of Washington. If the language
OF the measure could be so construed, 1t should,
Of course, be changed, for the commission has
no desire to take on Baltimore's planning job on
top OF the big responsibility which Congress al
ready has given it-that of guiding the orderly
growth of the National Capital and its environs.
Apparently the planning groups and govern
mental units in the Washington Metropolitan
Area have no fear of encroachment for all of
them have Endorsed the proposal. As a matter
OF fact, the bill will give Maryland and Virginia
voices in regional planning for Washington
which they ought to have, but which now Ia
denied them under the present NCPPC law. The
bill already has passed the Senate. 1t can pass
the House without trouble If current misconcep-
tions as to It's intent are cleared away.
