The name Collins & Ryan is

few years the company operated a
general store, adding later most
all types of farm machinery in
Guiding the sales of team and cat
tie. In 1920 furniture was added
to the business. Following this
the company became a fruit brOk-
er. specializing in strawberries. In
addition to several farms the COM
pany also took over a tomato can
merry and packed tomatoes for the
big chain grocery companies for
several years until the plant was
lost by fire.
In 1925 the company built a new
brick store in the heart Of the
business district Of MillsborO. In
1928 appliances were added to the
cOmpany's expanding business and
the handling of livestock was dis
continued and shortly thereafter
some Of the other less important
lines were dropped in favor Of ex-
panding the company's business
in the furniture and appliance
field. Radios proved to be the COM
pany's first major appliance sue

81. Lawrence Project
is Possible Rider on
.SS.5 Billion Aid Bill
BY the Associated Press

The oft-rejeeted st. Lawrence
Seaway project bobbed up again
yesterday, this time as a possible
rider on the $8.5 billion foreign
aid authorization bill
Senators Moody, Democrat Of
Michigan, and Aiken, Republican
of Vermont, said they will at
tempt to insert the Seaway and
power development project into
the foreign aid bill. They contend
that is proper place for it and
its inclusion might get the pro-
lposal before the House and Sen
ate-instead of having it die in
committee.
The House Public Works Com
mittee voted Is to IL last week
to table the st. Lawrence project
ending another chapter in the 20
year fight.

tee gave us a temporary setback,

way and power phases of the st

/ He said that if the world situa-
tion sis as bad as they tell us il
is, then the st. Lawrence is more
vital to this country and the free
nations of the world than most
OF the items in the foreign aid
bill.
1.-THE st. Lawrence is vital ne
cessity in getting steel and the
power situation in industrial New
England-where a large propor-
ton of defense industry is located
is so critical that it is top Sc
cret."
Senator Aiken said the cost
estimates of the st. Lawrence
which opponents describe as stag
gering and impossible, should be
no obstacle now. He said figures
cited are for the completed project
which are unreal. He said naviga-
ton and power can be developed
for relatively small sums and that
deeper lateral channels and other
works can be spread over 20 years.

Automobile Essential
To Nutionul Economy

Automobiles have become so
common, so much of. a neces-
sity, that too many persons
take them for granted without
realizing their impact on our
national life, according to John
Butorac, National Automobile
Dealers association local area
chairman.
THAT attitude is natural, of
course, but it's highly import
ant that we realize not only
how much we Individually de-
pend, on our cars, but also the
essential part that alternative
transportation plays in our ma
tional economy and defense,
Mr.. Butorac pointed out. "They
are so important to our nation
al life that we must not per-
init the imposition of too Strin-
gent controls on the production
of essential cars and necessary
replacement parts.
indicative of the importance
of the automobile today is the
fact that II per cent of the
families in the United States
own cars and are dependent
upon them for essential trans
portation. Moreover, studies have
revealed that we'll over half of
all automobile usage is for the
purpose of making a living. OBJ
viously, many if our vital de-
Tense plants would be severely
crippled without automobiles.
In fact, surveys showed that
even back in 1912, before de-
Capitalization of industry was
stressed, nearly 30 per cent of

plants depended on their cars
to 60 back and forth from
work. since then, plants and
workers have moved to outlying
metropolitan areas in increaS-
ing numbers, and important
factor in building our defenses
particularly against atom bombs
Automobiles are equally eS-
Sential to the shopper and the
merchant. Reliable surveys re-
veal that about a third of all
purchases from a typical de-
partment store are delivered by
truck and the same is true of
about 40 per cent of the food
purchased from the average in
dependent grocer. Cars and
trucks make possible regular
milk, laundry and cleaning de-
l1VerieS and services as well as
transport the fuel oil and coal
for more than % million dwell
ling units.
"They enable the merchant
to attract trade from a vastly
greater area than would be
possible otherwise and to serve
his customers more efficiently
and at lower cost. He can do
all this and handle a tremend-
Gus volume of business without
carrying excessive inventories
or paying for costly warehouse
storage space.
Finally, the automobile is
responsible for the spectacular
growth of popular shopping
centerS in recent months with
large parking facilities, erected
Tor the convenience of motor
lists. The family car has Gre
ated these new market places
which provide added proof of
how greatly the consumer and
merchant alike depend on auto
motive power"
Because local franchised car
dealers are familiar with these
facts, we are seriously concern
ed about proposals which would
impose too stringent controls on
the production of cars and nee
essary replacement parts or
which would keep those who
need dependable transportation
from obtaining cars through
excessive automotive taxes or
discriminatory credit controls.
Motorists throughout this area
may be assured that we will
continue every effort to keep
their cars rolling and will
greatly appreciate their coop

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-It was

There were plenty of develop

The breakdown in the negotia-
