Studebaker Blames
Loyalty for Pressure
To Buy lis Cars
BY the AssoeIofed Press

The Studebaker Corp. says it
was "employe loyalty" rather
than company or union policy
that led to penalties against
more than a dozen South Bend
(Ind.) auto workers last summer
for refusing to buy Studebaker
cars.
The company and local 5 Of
the CIO Auto Workers Union
have been jointly charged by the
National Labor Relations Board
with conspiring to have a group
of IS employees fired or dis
ciplined because they drove other
makes of cars than Studebaker.
This couldn't be true. Stude-
baker President Harold S. Vance
said last night in a press release,
because a look at the South Bend
plant parking lot will show that
virtually every competitive make
is represented"
Mr.. Vance said he was happy,
however, that "the great major
ity (of workers at South Bend)
drive the cars they build, I"
meaning Studebakers.
What really happened last
summer, Mr.. Vance's statement
said. was that employees them
selves became angered because
one of their fellow workers re-
portedly bought car of a COM
petitive make" \

the car" the Studebaker presi-
dent said, 1T became a ques-

A Mothers Love
BY w. b JOHNSON

| The story of Moses is one of
the most beautiful and fascinating
in all the world. II takes a hold
on us and never for an instant
does it loose its interest. for it is
so graphically told that once read
and studied it is never forgotten.
You can imagine the anxiety
with which Moses was born: he
came into the world with the sem
tcncc of death hanging over him.
For Pharoah had dccrccd that the
male children should die.
His mother dcficG even the COM
mand Of the king and determined
that the child should live. Right
from the beginning the battle of
right against might was fought At
the cradle. Moses mother was a
Salve. She had 10 work III the
brick yards or the fields. out God
was on her side and she Won as
a God-fcaring mother always
wins.
Before going TO work she had

child. Imagine how difficult to

giving up her res; and sleep pre-
pairing an ark for the saving OF
her CHILD! We believe God gave
her the plan when she was on
her knees in prayer.
How carefully the material out
OF which the little ark was made
had 10 be selected so that nothing
poor might go into II. The mothers
heart, her tears, ana her prayers
were interviewer into il. We re-
member when she could no longer
find safe hiding place she placed
hun in the little ark and put him
out on the Nile river, and sent
Miriam his sister TO watch. She
LETT him in the hands of God. You
can imagine that all heaven was
interested in seeing that not one
hair OF that baby's head was in
jured.
Moses mother knew she would
) be rewarded, but don't think she
knew that God would send Phar-
oah'S daughter down there for
, the child and place it back in its
own mothers arms. The Bible
quotes Pharoah's daughter as say
ing, Take this child and nurse
it for me, and l will pay thee thy
wages" She was paid Egyptian
gold to do the thing she had rather
do more than anything else in all
the world.
Mothers, if you bring your chill
dren up for the Lord it will be
a wonderful time when the Lord
rewards you for your labor for
him. Boys and girls, Sunday, May
10, is Mothers Day. Show mother
that you love her and in DAYS to
before come you speak an unkind
word to her, remember her love
for you and what she has mean,
TO you all through the days OF
your life.
