WORTH OF CREDIT
The question of how well com
mercial banking serves this coun
try is well answered by a sur
vey released by the Research
Council of the American Bank
ers Association.
Sixty-two hundred commercial
banks, constituting 43 per cent
of all banks of this type, report
ed that they made a total of
more than 7,000,000 new per
sonal and business loans during
the first six months of 1940, for
an aggregate of $12,250,000,000.
In the same period a year ear
lier, 6.000,000 loans totaling
$10,300,000,000 were made.
These banks also made 6,000,-
000 renewal loans during the
first half of 1940 for an aggre
gate of $8,250,000,000, amount
ing to an increase of 6 per cent
both in number and amount over
the same period in 1939.
These 6,200 banks also made
148,000 new mortgage loans, ad
ding up to $454,000,000 during
the first six months of 1940—an
increase in number of loans of
13 per cent and in amount of 7
per cent over the comparable
1939 figures.
All told, then,' this gi'oup of
banks served the people of their
communities with 13,613,000
credit transactions involving
nearly $21,000,000,000 during
the half-year period. In the cor
responding 1939 period — and
1939 wa.s in itself a year of
heavy lending—transactions to
taled 11,841,000 and dollar vol
ume was $18,500,000,000.
Another question often asked
concerning banking activity is
whether the banks adequately
serve the small borrower. Here
again the new survey provides
the answer. The average new
loan was $1,967, the average re
newal loan was for $1,482, and
the average new mortgage loan
•was for $3,256. Since the returns
included the experience of many
big city banks, which deal in
very large transactions, it is ob-
vi6us that the small borrower is
well served by his bank.
Here’s a case where the fig
ures tell the ntory—and it is the
istory of an industry whose con
tribution to American welfare is
aeconu to none.

Janet Owen, New York Herald-
rribune columnist, said in last Sun
day's Trib that the 1941 hunt racing
season will open this Saturday at

Shame on you, Janet! We’ve gor

very suspiciously.
North Carolina leads the 48 slates
in average population per occupied
dwelling unit the 1940 census reveals.
The national average is three and
eight-tenths persons per dwelling.
North Cai-olina has four and one-half
persons to a house- At that, we gain
ed on the housing problem. W'e had
4.9 per unit in 1930, again highest in
tlie country.
Final 1940 census figures gave
North Carolina a total population’ oi
3,571,623, a gain of 12.7 per cent in
the decade. We have 789,566 occu
pied dwelling tmits.
The census figures, final, show the
United States divided up as follows;
Urban population, 74,423,702; rural,
57,245,573, for a total of 131.069,275.
MEDICINE
FOR THE N'EEDY
One serious charge made
against the medical profession
is that the cost of its service
puts it out of reach of a consid
erable proportion of the Ameri
can people.
That chtrge has been thor
oughly investigated, and found
to be largely baseless. The Bu
reau of Medical Economics of
the American Medical Associa
tion has made an exhaustive
stydy, and found that there are
few persons in this country de
siring medical aid who are un
able to dbtain it. When queried,
the mayors of a hundred typical
cities of all population brackets
testified that there was no neg
lect of the poor because of their
inability to pay.
Anyone who has seen the med
ical profession in action knows
the truth of this. The average
doctor can give but part of his
day to the care of patients who
pay him. Many hour.s in each
week are given to charitable
work in hospitals, homes and in
stitutions, treating the indigent
whom he knows will never be
able to meet a bill. Th-j great
majority of doctors base their
charges on the ability to pay—
and —those who can p»y nothing
are given the same scrupulous
Danny Boyd isn't very big, but he
wants it known that he's too big to
ride a rabbitt, despite the Charlotte
Observer.
The Observer reported him thiid
in one of the classes at last Satur
day's Hunter Trials “on his father’s
rabbit." it should have read Rabbit—
the name of the horse.
Mebbe that might be called a cap
ital offense.
Wilma and Billie Williams, daught
ers of Mr. and Mrs. "Rusty” Williams,
entered school in Va.ss Monday for
the week while the Wiliams show is
playing there. This makes the 251st

ing to each one a week at the time.
She is in the eighth grade and is four
teen years old. Billie is in the sixth.
treatment as the wealthiest na-
tient.
It is reliably estimated that
doctors of this country give at
least $1,000,000 a day worth of
free service to the sick. That
comes to $.385,000,000 a year—
a munificent contribution indeed
to the cause of public health.
The old saying that “time is
money” is particularly applica
ble to the doctor—and he gives
it generously to the needy.
The fact that the general
standard of health in this coun
try is far above that of the rest
of the world is the best possible
commentary on the quality and
extent of American medical ser
vice. No man or woman, no mat
ter how meager his resources,
need lack epert attention in time
of accident or illnesg.

A REPORT
to A merica
The Ford Motor Company's
business has always been to
serve the needs of the American
people. In providing them with
low-cost transportation for the
past 38 years, we have devel
oped one of the country’s larg
est and most useful industrial
units. During a national emer
gency, we feel that these facili
ties should be devoted without
reserve to our country’s needs.
Toward that end we started
rolling months ago, with these
results:
1 A $21,000,0{)0 Ford airplane en-
* gi’ . factory, started only 6 months
ago. is nearly completed. Production
will start with an initial order for
4,236 eighteen cylinder, air-cooled,
double-row, radial engines.
p We are building a new S8(K),(H)0
“ Ford magnesium alloy foundry,
one of the few in the country. It is
already producing lightweight air
plane engine castings.
0 Army reconnaissance cars — mili-
tary vehicles of an entirely new
type—are rolling off special Ford
assembly lines at the rate of more
than 600 a month. We have produced
Army staff cars and bomber service
trucks.
k The government has given the
• "go-ahead” and work is now
under way for the fast construction
of an $ 11,000,000 Ford plant
to produce bomber airframe
■ssemblies by mass produc
tion methods.
C Several months ago work was
^ started, on our own initiative, oa
an entirely new 1500 horsepower air
plane engine especially designed for
mass production. This engine is now
in the test stage and plans are being
developed for producing it in large
quantities when and if needed.
C A Ford aircraft apprentice school
” has been established, to train 2000
students at a time.
That is a report of progress
to date.
The experience and facilities
of this company can be used
to do much of the job which
America now needs to get done
in a hurry.
Our way of working, which
avoids all possible red tape, en
ables us to get results and get
them fast. This benefits users
of our products and worktrs
who prt^uce them.
We are ready to make any
thing we know how to make,
to make it to the limit of our
capacity if need be, to make it
as fast as we can go, and to start
the next job whenever our
country asks us to. And to this
end, we know we have the ful.l
confidence and loyal
support of the workmen
throughout our plants.
