The Journey

A little work, a little sweating,
A few brief, flying years;
A little joy, little fretting,
Some smiles and then some tears;
A little resting in the shadow,
A struggle to the height;
A futile search for Ell Dorado,
And then we say goodnight.
Some toiling in the strife and
clamor,
Some years of doubt and debt,
Some words we spoke in foolish
anger
That we would fain forget;
Some CHEEKY words we said un-
thinking,
That made a sad heart light;
The banquet with its feast and
drinking,
And then we say goodnight.

Well Folks

Did you start the New Year off
right? So far everything pretty
much all right with us here at
Reddy's Corner with the exception
of one thing. That one thing is the
selling Of liquor to minors. Now it
isn't our wish or intention to sell
to minors at anytime, our biggest
problem is = to keep others from
buying it for them. People just
don't seem to realize that there is
a pretty severe penalty for contrib
uting to the delinquency of min
or. That is what they are doing if
they buy for, give to, or sell liquors
to q minor.
Now we would dislike very much
to bring any charges against any
one for any reason but / believe
that you will agree with me that
I would certainly be justified i'm do
ing so to protect my own interest.
If / were to be convicted of selling
to a minor the least that / could
expect to be penalized would be
about 80 day suspension Of my
license and it could mean the abso-
lutte revolxing of my license. Now
of course / don't want that to hap
pen and particularly so if it were
that we had innocently sold to an
adult and they in turn had given
or sold the liquor to a minor.-YOu
see the minor will very seldom
"squeap on the friend or person
but they will say that they bought
it for themselves. So all / can do
to protect myself is to put the fin
ger on those that I know, or feel
are buying liquor for minors. That
we would dislike very much to have
to do, SO If you will just cooperate
with us on this matter we will ap-
preciate it very much.
Thanks Folks, thanks indeed

Edsel Ford's death, when Bennett
became a Director of the Company.
Ford Motors apparently became too
small for both Bennett and Soren-
son. According to the automobile
editor of the Detroit Free Press,
'Sorenson was fired after clashing
with Bennett This time Ford did
his own firing and the order reach
ed Sorenson in Florida by telephone
direct from Ford's winter home
in Ways, Georgia.
"Cast Iron" Tactics
with his Ford salary running
from $15O,OOO to $250,000 a year,
Sorenson had built a little paradise
of his own. He was master of
more than a thousand acres, some
of it acquired in the tragic days
of the 3O's when the small farmers
were frozen out on tax foreclos-
ures. Sorenson picked up some of
those places for as little as $35 an
acre. Out in New Hudson, they
still tell how dogged, determined
man and woman, trying to build a
home for a family of children,
stubbornly resisted attempts to dis
lodge them and outsmarted Soren-
son saving their home.
"He really wanted that 21s acres
which he bordered on three sides.
There was even a cloud on the
title of the place but the judge
ruled in the family's favor. Then
Sorenson's tenants went to work.
Their fence was only six feet from
the kitchen-side of the little home.
They lined it up with troughs filled
them with swill and, day after day,
fed their pigs under the very noses
of the determined little family.
When that didn't bulge them the
sows were bred under their win
dows in spite of the fact that none
of the children were older than
ten. Then the law took a hand.
There were still irritations such as
trying to keep the family from
getting the electricity which had
come to the community. That 21k
acres of land helped to rear five
of the incest youngsters you'd ever
want to meet. Postwar after the
father died, it provided work for
a couple of young GI's who needed
a home.
"' Cast-Iron Charlie actually es-
tablished himself at Algon c,
Michigan, in a spacious mansion
with grilled-iron gate, tennis court,
golf practice range, with electric
elevator in his boat house for the
daycruiser and private dock for

High Cost Jeep


Until a few months ago, when
some of the minor stockholders at
WillyS-Overland sued to break the
SorenSon contract, the mellowing
ex-Ford fire-eater was rarely seen
dt WHY'S, for he enjoyed fishing,
yachting and practicing golf shots.
He said himself when he was in
the vicinity he went to the plant
once, maybe twice week, the
telephone was a wonderful inven-
tion.
with his stock options sold, he
draws his $1,000 for genius and
advice on which record shows, the
company does not depend. But for
the impetus his name once gave to
the stock of the company, the SELL
ing price of each jeep must con-
tinue to bear the cost of Sorenson.
It, along with many other charges,
adds to the overhead of a company
where the crying need is to reduce
prices if there'are to be continuing
jobs for the automobile workers
of Toledo who have had many an
anxious moment in the last 20
years because of what has been
done by management at WHY'S.
"The high cost of management,
so often out of proportion to any
service that management may rem
der, and certainly out of line with
what is paid for services in govern
ment, education, science, farming,
and other basic operations, is a
crying evil of our times which re-
mains nicely covered up and over
looked. But each day we feel it
in many of the commodities that
we buy. And so it really is time,
and it is important, that we expose
it."

years-win, lose, or draw, whether
his genius was required or not. In
addition, an option on 100000
shares of stock at So. No sooner
was it announced, then WHY'S
Overland stock was on the way
zooming in 18 months all the way
up to $26.75 from three bucks. But
by that time the WHY'S board had
changed its mind about the mi
racle workings of Sorenson-and
this time brought in General Mo-
tors man from the Navy, James D..
Mooney, to take over the pres
idency.
Mooney set up little side show
of his own-Technical Managers,
Incorporated, to which WHY'S con-
tributed about $4,000 a year as
long as Mooney lasted-the idea to
promote and develop American
products, including jeeps, all over
the world. Sorenson continued to
fish, yacht, and shoot golf in Flor
ida and Algonac, Michigan = and
collect his $1,000 a week and he
ultimately unloaded his stock OPP
tions for what has been reported
as a profit of about $500, 900. That
means that Willys-Overland will
by 1854, have given 'Sorenson OF
the Rouge over 81, 100000.
Ford Specialists
"What a career this fellow Char
les E. Sorenson has had. Keith
Sward bares many details in his
Legend of Henry Ford. 'Cast-1ron
Charlie started out with Ford as
a boss of the pattern shop in 1904.
Soon he became expediter extra
ordinaire of the Ford assembly, line.
In 1921 when Ford purged the bulk
of his foremen and even tossed out
their desks, it was 'Cast-1ron Char
lie' who flew about the plant at
Hyland Park and chopped off the
necessary heads, all at Ford's be-
hest.
.Sorenson made his reputation at
Ford's as d fireeater. This man
could display his scorn for some
performance in the factory by
simply tipping over a workers
bench.
"Ford held that men worked for
two reasons only-'for their wages
and for fear of losing their jobs
And Sorenson expressed the fullest
concurrence with this thesis OF
human behavior. At least he dis
tinguished himself in the 20's as a
Ford specialist in the psychology
of Job insecurity if not as the dis
penser of high wages. He came to
excel, before long, at the art OF
surrounding his fellow administra-
tors with an atmosphere of chronic
anxiety. And under the turbulent
regime that followed, swift and
arbitrary dismissals, with no ex-
PLANTATION given, became the order
of the day. With Sorenson's rise
to power, job security went out at
the Ford Motor Company. Soren-
son was key in the new Ford speed
up, the 5-day week, and, as Forbes
Magazines reported replacing fam
lily men and veteran employees who
had been earning 81 and So day,
with boys and single men at a
starting wage of $500.

reckoning in June, 1943, following

he projected sincerity into his voice that
had deceived even his hard headed uncle on
many occasions Tessie had never believed
much in Prescott's periodic repentance and
reformation. But she listened patiently as
he asked the Wills date. When she replied,
he said, There's later will / shall play
it for you"
Tessie, momentarily off balance, ex-
claimed, "Piay it?''
1T is tape-recorded will" Prescott ex-
planned. ''You know how fascinated Uncle
Hank always was by anything new. Two
weeks before he died someone sold him
tape recorder and he used it to dictate his
will"
Tessie remembered this trait of Henry
Carney's. Keeping step with new methods
and techniques often resulted in his prod
ucts appearing on the market when COM
petitors were in the tooling-up stage. 1t
would have been like him to create prece-
dent by recording his will on tape. Quite in
character Tessie thought, and the thought
troubled her.
What a tape-recorder?" someone asked.
Prescott Carney once was employed in
a radio station" Tessie said. Perhaps he
can explain tape-recorder in non-technical
Words She didn't add that at another time
he had narrowly escaped prison term be-
cause his persuasive voice had plugged
dubious stock.
PREscoTT was bringing out the machine
and setting it up on the table while everyone
stared curiously. "You speak into this
microphone," he said, and your words are
recorded on paper or plastic tape with
metalized surface. A magnetic field is in
volved, but we won't go into that. The tape
passes from one reel to another, something
like an eight-millimeter moving picture pro-
jector. And, like the protector, you must
rewind in order to play back the recording.
For example -"
The late Henry Carney's voice filed the
room, and the men crowded forward. There
was not man who failed to recognize this
voice from the grave, and it put an edge to
their foreboding.
Tessie noted little change in the wills
until she heard, -. and to my beloved
nephew, Daniel Carney, bequeath the
sum of twenty-five thousand dollars in cash.
And to my beloved nephew, Prescott Car
ney, bequeath the sum of twenty thousand
dollars, and do appoint him my executor to

asked.
Its so new the legality probably hasn't
beendetermined, Tessie answered. Strange

One of the men was speaking now. Il
think this new will can be contested on the
grounds of undue influence and mental
attrition," he said sharply
HERE was an uneasy silence. Just

Uncle Henry's, and there was nothing re-
motely suggesting mental attrition or undue
influence. I'll not tarnish his memory with
any such charge"
Nor l." voices all over the room echoed
II appreciate my past record is against
me, Prescott said with fine show of meek
ness. But Uncle Henry believed in me at
the last. shall faithfully carry out his
plans. humbly request you withhold
judgment for the present. I'll not fail you
nor my uncle"
He sat down, but much of the guinness
and fear remained. The benefciaries want
ed tried and tested man managing the
business and couldn't understand why Pres
colt had been substituted for Dan. Bad
management could wipe out everything
This doesn't add up. Dan" Tessie whis-
pered. Knowing Prescott, we should look
for the gimmick." She went over to Pres
colt. "As Dams attorney. I'd like copy
of the tape-recorded will"
Certainly" he agreed. We'll have the
tape-recording people make copy immedi-
ately My attorney, Marsh Edwards, will
ask the will be admitted to probate Friday"
WHEN Tessie appeared in court on Friday,
she wore the expression of one loaded for
bear. Prescott played the will before a
tensely crowded courtroom, and Marsh, his
lawyer, asked that it be admitted to pro-
bate.
Then Tessie opened the duplicate machine
she had brought and played her copy.
Prescott grew tense, and the judges face
turned dark with anger. If counsel is
playing joke on the court ;. he began.
then continued more calmly, Miss Terry,
your copy of this will confuses me. Play
that again."
