s WAITS WHY feel our '53 cars should
not be compared with cars in the same price
z range Not because competitors don't do
good job-obviously they debut because we
feel Ford Cars have more in common with the
highest priced automobiles. The similarities are
far greater than the differences
For example. Today, the most expensive cars in
this country have V-type, S-cylindcr engines. Ford
Cars have had this exact same type of engine for
over 20 years.
What's more astounding, the current Strato-Star
VS. sells for hundreds of dollars less than several
other makers charge for a six-cylnder car. Now
there's nothing wrong with Six but they do cost
less to make. Ford makes Six-the most modern
overhead valve Six in the industry. And if it's a
six-cylinder you want Ford has it and for less
money than the vs., which is as it should be.
What about ride? Here's another Ford similarity
with h1gh-priced cars Riding Comfort. One Of
The misconceptions for many years has been that
weght-sheer weights what it takes to make a
car ride well. Ford has found that you can make
9OO0-pound Car ride softer and hold the road
better by far than many cars that weigh fuh 1000

Sales Of Coop
Hits New High

COLUMBUS-Sales volume of
the Ohio Farm Bureau Coopera-
tive Association reached an all
time high in 1852 SGT 900, 600
1t was announced to nearly 500
county Farm Bureau Cooperative
OFFICIALS here this week for the Goth
anniversary meeting of the assoc-
alton.
The Association is a wholesale
buying and selling and grain mar
keting agency for SO county Farm
Bureau associations throughout
Ohio.
The record volume represents a
Ia per cent increase over 1851. and
AZ percent jump from five years
ago. Savings to patrons dropped
slightly from 1851. Total savings
for the year were SI,2O5, ,OOo-an
eight percent drop from a year
ago.
Addressing the meeting, Homer
L. Brinkley exec vice pres, Ma
tional Council of Farmer Coopera-
tiveS, stated that the u. S. must
exercise caution in its foreign
trade programs-that we
must be ever mindful of the fact
that trade for trades sake is like
swapping dollars from one pocket
to the other"
Brinkley expressed the belief
that trade between countries hav-
ing high level of both production
and consumption, and involving
commodities excessive to the needs
of the seller nation but desirable
to the purchaser nation, provides
an outlet for surplus commodities.
John w. Sims, exec. vice pres,
of the state cooperative, told the
group that agriculture faces many
ups and downs in the immediate
future, Dut the long-range outlook
is still bright. Pointing to the tre-
mendous increase in population
expected in the next 25 years,
Sims said: I'VE must prepare for
this long-range period by provid-
ing for more agricultural research.
This is the real reason why we
must develop a modern agricul-
ture center at Ohio State Univers-
ity."
The farm leader urged farmers
to re-examine their operations in
an effort to develop efficient, eco
nomic units, and to enhance their
economic position through the
strengthening of their farmer-own-
ed cooperatives.

RED CROSS
drive OPENS
1853 Campaign Quota
Set By Chairman

MADISON County Chapter Ameri-
can Red Cross, is opening this
week the 1853 campaign for funds,
with quota of $S,719, F. E. Kid
well, chairman of the County
Chapter has announced.
Though the drive is scheduled
for the month of March, Mr.. Kid
well is appealing to the workers
throughout the county to have
their reports in to Mrs. M. E.
Blackmore, executive secretary of
the County Chapter or ]. Richard
Byers, treasurer not later than
March 25.
1T will take the maximum eff
fort on the part of every Red
Cross worker throughout the coun-
ty to secure the funds necessary
to carry on the organizations
work. Its Importance to the well
being of our people is unquestion-
ed. With confidence our chapter
leaders will, as in the past, do
everything within their power TO
assure a successful campaign :.
and then some," Mr.. Kidwell stat
ed.
Continuing he said, 1T is only
through a successful campaign
that the Red Cross w ill be enabl-
ed to effectively continue its well
fare services to the greatly in
creased number of men and
women in the armed forces at
home and abroad; to assure the
availability of blood and deriva-
tives for the sick and injured of
the armed forces and large seq
ment of our civilian population;
and to provide gamma globulin,
not only for measles and infectious
hepatitis, but also to safeguard our
children against the paralysis poll
omyelitis. Recent experiments have
given mankind a powerful new
weapon against the paralyzing eff
feet of poliomyelitis, the gamma
globulin, a derivative of blood,
which the Red Cross is supplying.
To make effective use of this
new weapon, the Office of Defense
Mobilization requested the Red
Cross to expand its defense blood
collections, so, the Red Cross with
its extensive experience and nation
wide blood-collecting facilities,
has answered the challenge and
entered into the project.
This new responsibility will
draw heavily upon the financial
and voluntary resources of the or
ganization. This year alone it will
cost the Red Cross $7,000,000
above its other budgetary require
ments.
The 1853 fund goal is S93,000,-
600. In addition to providing gam
ma globulin, the Red Cross must
continue collecting blood to meet
the day-by-day needs of civilian
hospitals and of the Korean
wounded.
"All this takes time and it takes
money, but we'll come through
with the rest of the nation if we
take the national slogan into our
campaign An appeal to the heart
and purse of America 'Answ-
er the CALI" Mr.. Kidwell conclud-
ed.
