"IT TAKES MEN

Every now and then someone with nothing better to do heaves shuddering sg gh about the supposed evils of the Machine Age. Dark fears voiced that mechanization and assembly-line techniques may be eroding away such sturdy old virtues sef-relance and pride of craftmanship.
 We refer these tnid souls to the recent remarks of Harlow H. Curtce president of General Motors, at the annual Scholarship Award Banquet of the Fisher Body Craftsmans Guild in Detroit The dinner was in honor of those youngsters who spent long hours fashioning model automobiles for the contest spon- sored by GMs Fisher Body Division
 The Machine Age, MT. Curtice noted, has not abolished the great need for who have abiding belief in their ability to do something better than 1t has been done before and the plain fortitude to finish what's been started"
 Machines can't design themselves, he reminded the youngsters New products cannot design them selves Businesses cannot themselves It takes to make things happen-in industry-in science e-in government"
 Whatever fears some aging head-shakers may ex- nress believe most of young people agree with MT. Curtice's common-sense observations

Treasury Borrows Near to Debt Limit To Finance Govt

WASHINGTON, R-The Treas ury will borrow two billion dol lars this week to finance the gov ernment through the end of the year, pushing to within it's last thin half billion dollars of borrow authority
 Nevertheless, spokesman said, the Treasury expects to get by at least until January under the 275- billion-dollar debt limit which Congress refused to raise last summer.
 The official indicated, however, that Congress would probably be asked again next session to raise the debt ceiling. Last summer, the Treasury asked for a new ceiling of 29O billion dollars.
 Secretary of the Treasury Humphrey announced the new borrowing late Monday. lie Sald in a statement that two billion dollars of 7-year and 1O-month bonds, to be dated Nov. g, will go on sale tomorrow and that they would pay 234 percent annual in tereSt.
 Humphrey also announced meas ures designed to keep speculators from playing with the issue arti- ficially boosting or depressing it's market value, and reserved the right to reject subscriptions the treasury deems are not from bona fide investors.

Today I shall present the ac-
count Of scientists about q
mighty change which they say
took place in ages past. This
change brought animals from
water to the land.
In support of their view, the
scientists point to the life story
of frogs. A frog starts out as a
little fish, known as tadpole or
polliwog. In due course. legs
sprout on the body of a tadpole,
and the tail is lost. Also losing
it's outside gills, the tadpole be-
comes a land animal, frog. 1t
hops along on the ground and
breathes air.
Another modern example is the
lungfish. In Africa, South Amer

lungs. Lungf1sh are able to

Mr.. Champions four-heart

practice of studying the situa-
tion carefully before playing that

He saw there was sure loser

in clubs. One of the potential
diamond losers could be elimi-
mated If Mr.. Dale had the king
of the suit. That is. a diamond
to the ace and a diamond back
would make the queen a third
round winner.
But on the bidding Mrs. Keen
could be figured for the king Of
diamonds. However, she could
also be reasonably expected to
hold the king of clubs, and If
she did there were no club losers
ut all.
Mr.. Champion let the king of
spades hold the first trick. A
spade was continued and he won

could afford to lead one round
of trumpS at this point, so he
cashed the ace of hearts. Now
he successfully f1neSSed the queen
of clubs. He led a heart to his
king and noted thankfully that
everybody followed suit.
Next he led to the ace Of clubs,
returned a club and ruffed it.
His last spade was then ruffed
on the board and another club
returned and ruffed.
Dummy was entered with the
ace of diamonds and the good
club was played. 1t made no
difference whether Mr.. Dale used
his good trump here or not. Mr..
Champion was going to discard
q diamond, thus limiting his
losers to one spade, one heart
and one diamond.

ExpeditOr Named By
SBA This Week


william b. Mitchell, Admins
traitor of the Small Business Ad-
ministration, today announced the
appointment Of John NJ Carmody
as a special representative to over
see the completion of seven prime
defense contracts entered into with
small business firms by the former
Small Defense Plants Administra-
tion. These contracts We're entered
into by SDPA prior to Mr.. Mitchell's
appointment as Administrator of
the agency.
Mr. Carmody is longtime
Government official. and had been
serving as Director Of SDPA's
ONCE Of Production and Manage
ment Assistance.
Mr.. CarmOdy will visit those
regional Offices which have prime
contracts assigned to them and will
work closely with Regional Direc-
tors and. their stats. At the time,
he will visit those plants which are
engaged in fulfilling these prime
contracts" Mr.. Mitchell said. "The
appointment of a special represent
ative will provide SBA with current
information on prime contracts, and
will enable the national Office to
deal more quickly with such matters
as contract terms and schedules. -
These prime contracts for small
business concerns range from
$21 600 to more than $850,OO0.. They
include production of truck pedes-
tai gun mounts, Ma Mortar Sights,
immersion water heaters for troops
in the fields, duffel bags, white
wool blankets for the Army Medical
Corps, wooden ammunition boxes,
and other critical defense items
and cOmpOnents.
The plants are located in Altoona,
Pennsylvania; Newburgh, New
York; Homer, New York; Lowell,
Massachusetts; Peoria, Illinois
Hartsville, Alabama; and St. Paul,
Minnesota.
SDPA became a prime contractor
when it moved in to aid small
business concerns which were
having difficulties in meeting their
contract obligations for national
defense. In each instance where it
interVened, SDPA became the prime
contractor and the original producer
became a sub-cOntractOr.
I'VE believe that with a special
representative, we will have better
correlation of our prime contract |
activities" Mr. Mitchell stated. |
with his long experience in private
industry, as we'll as in Government !
service, and his familiarity with |
these prime contract obligations,
Mr.. Carmody is a wise choice for
this important task"
The Administrator said that the
selection of Mr. Carmody Was re-
commended by Deputy Admins
traitor Harold r. Smethils, who is
in charge of all SBA field opera
tiOns.
Prior to entering Government
service, Mr.. Carmody held numerous
positions of responsibility in pri-
vate industry. He entered Govern
ment service in 1888 and prior to
his service with SDPA, served
with the Wagner Labor Board, the
Civil Works Agency, the National |
Labor Relations Board, the Rural |
Electrifications Administrator, the !
Federal Works Agency, the U. S. !
Maritime Commission, the War
