New Ford Car
Coming Soon
Henry Ford probably could
sympathize with Newton last
week when his first complete
Aar—body, engine,wheels, paint
anu all—came off the line,
with Ford and his son Edsel
looking on. The car was taken
to Henry Ford's museum and
put beside the fifteenth million
Ford of the old type.
The new car, absolutely diff
erent from the old Ford mode!,
makes fifty miles an hour
easily, according to a descrip
tion of the New York Times,
sixty miles if desired. Ford
has increased production capa
city so that he can turn out
i 1,000 of the new cars every
day, more than three million a
year. The maximum of the
old car was 8,000 a day.
Sixty thousand cars are
needed as samples for the Ford
agencies alone, and 375,000
wave already been ordered and
a down payment made before
the cars are ready.

I)r. It. 57Morefield
Injured By Car
While enroute to Danbury
from Winston-Salem Saturday
afternoon. Dr. U. H. More
field was painfully bruised
when a car ran into his ma
chine from behind at a point
near Walkertown. Dr. More
field came on to Danbury after
the wreck but later went back
to a Winston-Salem hospital
for an examination. It was
found that his bruises were
not serious and he returned
after spending a day or two
in the hospital.
The Chrysler which ran into
Dr. Morefield's car was driven
by W T. Pardue, of Wilkesboro,
and was a U-drive-it car. The
front wheels were torn off of
the car. Dr. Morefield stated
that he was traveling at a
speed of ,'5O or 35 miles an hour
when hit and he thinks the
car that hit him must have
been making at least 60 miles
an hour. No other car was
passing or in sight and Dr.
Morefield is at a loss to under
stand why the man ran into
his car. A warrant was issued
for Pardue Tuesday and placed
in the hands of officers. He
had not been located today.
Credit Dollar On
State Licenses
Raleigh, Oct. 26.—Holders
of county hunting licenses who
desire to take out . State li
censes will be allowed credit
for the dollar paid to the State
for the county license, accord
ing to instructions sent out by
J. K. Dixon, assistant director
of the Department of Conserv
ation and Development, to all
selling gencies.
When such an exchange is
made, Mr. Dixon declares that
it will be necessary for the
licensee to pay the issuing fee
as required by the law to the
selling agent. In each case a
new application must be made
out.
These instructions have been
given, Mr. Dixon explains, to
meet requests of many hunters
over the state, who declare
that they purchased the one
dollar county license before
they knew that the five-dollar
State licenses were obtainable.
