Along with automatic transmis sions and higher compression en gines the smaller cars are among the hottest subjects of postwar developments in the car industry. Probably the interest in' the smaller vehicles stems from the hope they will carry lower price tags. But there's a lot more to the advent of smaller cars than the matter of prices. At present it appears only some of the so-called independent auto companies will have cars of the 100-inch wheelbase class this year. In effect they will be trying to do something the "big three" of General Motors, Ford and Chry sler decided not to attempt earlier in the postwar period. Nash Motors will be first out with its low-price model. It has scheduled introduction of the Rambler model for mid-April Kaiser-Frazer's as yet unnamed smaller vehicle is scheduled for the assembly lines in June. Rumor has it that another company is doing experimental work on a smaller car, but it cannot be readied for production this year. Nash yesterday began a se ries of showings of Its Rambler models for dealers and industry writers. Specifications still are withheld, as are prices, but in dustry chroniclers who have seen the Rambler are enthusiastic about its styling and its performance. In both these respects it match es Nash's other models. The only apparent difference is that its wheelbase is a little shorter. Be hind the wheel you forget that. The industry at large natu rally will watch the reception ac corded the Rambler. It will at tempt to determine from the pub lic reaction whether General Motors and Ford were wrong when they abandoned smaller car plans some four years ago. f George W. Mason, Nash-Kel vinator president and chairman, believes there is a substantial market for the new model. Many industry chroniclers, heretofore skeptical about that, agree with him after seeing and driving the Rambler. The car industry last week built 128,591 cars and trucks. This compares with 128,051 units built in the - preceding week. o w_ Moil Order Bride Seeking Alimony NHWTON, March 27—An order of attachment of the property of Irvin Spencer of Newton who re cently advertised for a wife— and got one—has been brought by his bride of a few weeks, Ellen Green Spencer of Marion who has already left him.

This action, in which alimony without divorce is sought, will be heard in Superior Court WILKES POMONA GRANGE MEETING The " Wilkes Pomona Grange! will meet Saturday night, April 1, 7:30, at the Boomer school building. All Orange members from Little Mountain, Reddles , River, Ferguson and Boomer Granges are urged to be present ^for the meeting. A number of Im portant business matters will be discussed and many other items of Grange interest. A good atten dance is expected. Support Red Cross Better aoldier* make better citizens—and to make better sol diers Is tbe sole purpose of the Army's character guidance pro gram, M-S'gt. Arthur F. Elserman declared today. Born 18 months ago, character guidance has grown by leaps and bounds since first Inaugurated by the Army and Introduced In mili tary Installations around the world. "Broad In Its application and positive in its approach, the pro gram embraces all the activities of the soldier," he said. Whether at work or at play today's sold ier is always under the healthy Influence of character guidance. Comparing civilian and mili tary life the local recruiting offic er explained that; "like the good citizen's sense of cltlc pride and community spirit, pride In per formance of duty and the spirit of service to his country are the attributes of a good soldier. To develop his keen sense of moral responsibility and self-discipline is the program's chief objective. "Nor is character guidance a hit-or-miss proposition," he add ed "all of Army's top technical assistance has been gathered to support the program. Whereas the local minister, physician, tea cher, editor and police sot the pat tern of living for the civilian It the Army a comparable group of staff officers; such as the chap lain, surgeon, information and education officer, public informa tion officer < and provost marshal, known as the character guidance council, decide the policy for the program. Sergeant Biserman pointed out that in the same manner that local custom and lores determine ! the citizen's behavior, so it is with the soldier. Character guid ance is not solely a program planned at a higher level and ex ecuted by «ubordinate command ers, Instead tt is a dynamic and up-to-date program which seeks to deal with local problems as well as those of universal nature "Better soldiers make better citizens and if present trends are indicative then character guidance can be counted on to supply a constant stream of responsible and competent leaders for our communities and nation," Ser geant Elserman concluded. —,—o The Ameircan Legion has launched a national "Go to Church" movement, starting April ± These cars and trucks are trade-ins on new Chevrolets and Buicks.
