From some Of the current com
ments one might conclude that the
/ recovery is grinding to a halt This
is far from the truth. Recovery not
only is continuing. but is becom-
ing broader and more sound. Some
recent evidence Of this includes.
Gross national product, the value
Of all goods and services produced
in the nation advanced in the first
quarter by an estimated Sll bill

ed By the index Of the Federal
Reserve Board, rose another point

exceptionally heavy because Of the
fear Of a strike on July l. 1t is
anticipated that in the third quar-

will decline, but in the fourt h

Small Cars Are Coming

THE Ford Motor Company has ended
speculation whether it would build a
small car or not by announcing that, unless
its plans were changed it would introduce
a small economy car in the 1860 model
year.
The company is the first of the Big Three
automobile manufacturers to confirm this
intention, and it means that we are likely
to have a number of new small cars, do
mestically- built, on the market during the
1860 model year.
The decision Of the Ford Motor Company
was obvious Combined sales of imports
Ramblers and Larks, this year, are expect
ed to reach about 100000. The total may 20
as high as 100000, and this would be
about one-sixth of the automobile market
1t is reported that General Motors is
ahead Of both Ford and Chryser, in its
small car program, even though General
Motors has made no official announcement
as this editorial is written There are ru-
mors that General Motors may have small
automobile ready for introduction to the
public by late summer or early fall that
Ford will come into production with its
first small car shortly thereafter. and that
Chrysler will soon follow with its entry.
The interesting thing about these small
cars is that they will sell for less than
$4,000 = and this gives the American the
opportunity to choose from large range of
American-built cars in this price bracket
for the first time III many years Except for
the Rambler, and recently the Lark, Ameri-
cans had little to choose from i'll the way Of
a small American-built car.
The Farmville herald. (Farmville, Va.) 1957-current, 1959-04-10

Interestingly, Chevrolet is said to be
planning to introduce a small car with an
aluminum-iron combination engine. The
Ford small car is expected to have its en-
CINE in the rear. something like the Nolks
wagon, and have thirteen-inch wheel in
stead of the present fourteen-inch wheel on
the average L. S. model
Most Of the new cars. if not all Of them,
are expected to have SiX-cylinder engines,
which Will carry some of Us back to the
1905 even though in the 1905 the new
Chevrolet was selling for S6O5 90, as we re-
member one adj, whereas today new
cheap car usually costs between $4,000
and $4,000, after the extras have been
added. The small car, i'll our opinion, is a
natural result Of constantly increased pro
duction costs, and initiation, which has
priced the most popular model u. S. auto
mobiles out Of the reach Of millions Of
Americans.

Buying Friendship

TT is interesting to note in the light Of the
recent emotional outburst against the
United States in Bolivia, that we are spend
ing millions Of dollars of our own money to
improve economic conditions in Bolivia. 1t
is true, of course, the Bolivians are in a
pitiful state, and that poverty and eco
nomic hardship is rampant.
That is not, however, the fault of the
United States. 1t seems to be a fairly COM
mon malady in the South American and
Central American countries. The United
States economic operation mission in Be-
livia employs 100 Americans, on aid pro-
grams involving roads, agriculture, health
and education In these programs about s.
600 Bolivians are employed.

ENVY

There are some folks who envy much
Some friends they see each day,
Because to them, it seems, these friends
Have more nice things than they
In discomfort their lives are spent,
They crouch about their lot
Because they lack O lot Of things
Some friends of theirs have qot.
If they would pause and look around
As they go on their way,
They would see folks around them Who
Are for worse off than they
Around the world ore many folks
Who lack for food to eat;
And food With which some folks find fault,
To them, would be treat
# You, BY chance, should lose On eye,
Depressed and blue you'd be,
But if you had good eye left,
With it, You still could see
Then if With that good eye Of Yours,
a blind man, You should see,
Would You not feel While seeinq him,
How thankful You should be2
If You incline to envy folks,
Remember, When YOU do,
Thot there no doubt, are round about,
Some folks Who envy YOU
The moral IS, don't envy folks
Whatever be Your lot
But smile and be real thankful for
The things that you have got.
