Farm Fire
 Loss Totals Si33 Million

Farm fires are matter of grave concern to the nation. Each wear, they cost 5000 lives and destroy over $10O million in pro perty = in 1852, $133 million much of it important food sup plies.
 Commenting on these statistics, the National Board of Fire Un- derwriters is urging farmers to devote Fire Prevention Week to eliminating fire hazards on thelr farms.
 The Board pointed out several factors which increase the threat of fire on the farm. First, the farm may be in an isolated area where the fire department can not reach it quickly. Second, the modern farm uses quantities o1 machinery, for which gasoline must be stored on the premises creating a double hazard. Thlrd there are frequently frame build, ings holding tons of hay and straw - two extremely comous- tible substances.
 In addition to building fire safety into the farm, every pnase of the farms operation must Dc carried out with the danger o' fire in mind. Cardinal safety rule is that heat, sparks or flames (actual or potentiaD and comous tibles like hay, straw or gasoline do not mix. Keep plenty of space between them.

gives you exactly the amount ot power you want, when you want 1t automatically.
 Fine car pO,per steering, too. Inc biz, heavy costly cars offer it tor the same reason they offer power brakes: It's man-sized job for l2O pound woman to handle car weighing two tons or more without it-especialiy. when parking. Our "Master-Cuide has two distinct benefits.
 First, it gives a hydraulic power assist right down at the wheels and just enough to take out the tOork. You don't relinquish one particle ot con- trol-rather your control is more com plete and far easier.
 Second, being hydraulic, Master Guide" power steering absorbs those fatiguing steering wheel tremors caused by ruts and roads in bad repair. And you don't pay e fine car price for "Master-Guide.
 But there is another fine car tea- ture-the Ford ride. Books have been written on the subject of riding quality in an automobile, but the payof comes on the pavement or luck of it! Many people associate q comfortable ride with excess weight, but it's not weight alone that makes for comfort. If it were, those big live ton trucks which you see every day

A FEW MINUTES on the tele- H phone calling the dealers who A sell Americas finest cars will reveal there are at least eleven models among four makes with price tags over $4,000!
 Now the interesting thing is that in feature after feature the Ford car duplicates each of these fine cars, and for Jess than half the fine car price!
 Look under the hood of the most expensive cars and what do you tnd9 4 V-8 Engine!
 Well, the Ford car has V-8, too. In fact, it has had V-S since 1882, and since that time Ford has built more V-8s-by millions = than all other manufacturers combined. And there's no other builder in Fords price range that's seen fit to offer one yet!
 But the engine, as fine as it IS, is only one of many things that make q fine car fine.
 Automatic shifting, for example. All the fine cars offer it in one form or another because it's one ot the things that make fine car fine. But if you've never driven a Ford with Fordomatic you've missed one of the finer things of life. This amazing transmission not only does away with clutching and shifting forever = It

would be the most comfortable ve- hicles on the road.
 Without being technical we can tell you that what's been done with the suspension and springing system gives the Ford a softer ride, smoother ride than many cars which tip the scales at better than an added half ton. What about room? Here's an inter- esting point. If you've felt that only a costly car offered enough room, you just ought to sit down in a Ford even if you're out-size and six feet four! The so-called big car is bigger on the outside, but unless you buy limou- sine with those little jump seats, it's not one passenger bigger inside.
 Visibility is another fine car Ford feature. We say Ford cars offer full circle" visibility because they all have huge, curved one-piece windshields and a huge rear window to match pl,ls side windows that mean every passenger gets room with view!
 How beautiful is Ford? A great English poet, John Keats, once wrote ~Beauty is Truth, Truth Beauty = well. he could have been writing about our car for its beauty comes
 from honest, clean lines in every
 dimension. In fact, we think most
 people agree-even our competitors
The frontiersman., 1953-10-01

that the appearance of a Ford Car leaves very little to be desired. It IS "at home' wherever it goes and 1t goes everywhere.
 But ,yI,at about Ford quality! Does it too match the fine car? Is the sheet metal of the body panels as thick? Is the finish as good? How about the trim and things like that! We'll, as far as we can determine, the sheet metal is identical in thickness in practically all instances. As to finish we believe Ford's baked-on enamel has no equal in any car. Ford upholstery fabrics and trim are less costly, but they're less delicate, too, and if anything, more durable.
 HoD then is tt possible to gi0e you this fine car at half the fine car price!
 Part of the answer lies in Ford manufacturing skills and knowledge as evidenced by the V-8 engine. Part of it comes from the ever increasing numbers of cars Ford produces and the economies they make possible. And, part of it comes from Fords willingness to give greater values than might be expected in cars sell ing in Ford's price range. And that's the Ford idea.

as that group remains there.
there is constant building up of
haired against the Jews"
Israeli delegates here are pain
fully aware of what the Senator
said; they know the way the
Arabs are using these wretched
kinsmen of theirs. to gain SYM
pathy for their cause and to make
propaganda against the Jews. The
United Nations has undertaken
to resettle these refugees in the
countries to which they have fled,
but, as the Senator said, "plans
have been made but little prog
ress has been achieved"
Still further efforts must be
made. for not only the Israeli
delegates here. but almost every
one would agree with the Sena-
tors statement that there would
seem to be mo solution in the
Near East until this refugee prob
lem is settled"
Aside from this warning, and it
was salutary, Senator Taft's
speech, which aroused such a fu-
ror elsewhere, was a comforting
one for Israel and the Jews, for
it showed what great friend and
supporter they had in the highest
places in Washington.

The Senator's view was that the
state should have been establish
ed during the Second World War.
IF that had been done" he said.
II doubt if we would ever have
had the Israel War. or the fleeing
of the Palestine Arabs. or the
dangerous conditions in that re-
gion of the world today. because
Israel had to take arms to estab-
lish their own independence. the
British having abandoned the
mandate"
For both humanitarian and
practical reasons, he said that he
supported Israel because of my
earnest belief in justice and free
dom and the keeping of a prom
ise," and because it was the only
way to assure freedom from per-
secution for millions of Jews, and
because it undertook to relieve
the world of the problem of re-
settling a large number of Jew
ish refugees, for which the world
has proposed no better solution"
However. Senator Taft's Zion
ism" is not blind. He warned that
the problem of the Arab refugees
was so serious that it could not be
exaggerated. Although he ac-
knowledged that it was partly
through the intolerance of their
