Behind The Scenes In American Business VEGETABLE “ICE CREAM” A New Jersey maker of ice cream has put on the market what he calls tomato sherbet. He an nounces that he will shortly have for sale ices with other vegetable flavors, such as lima beans, green peas, and spinach. The public may decide that the whole thing is spin ach; but that remains to be seen. NEW WONDER METAL A new wonder metal which is rapidly proving a boon for many industries bids fair to revolutionize engneering practice wherever great strength with extreme light ness is required. This new metal which makes even aluminum seem heavy and yet which can be alloyed to have the strength and tenacity of steel is making many a designer’s dream come true. This new metal is on ly two-thirds the weight of alumi num and approxmately one-fifth the weight of steel. It is known as Mallagoy. Its basic ingredient is magnesium, which is one of the metals most commonly found on the earth's surface. By the use of Magalloy airplane manufacturers have already begun to produce planes which fly higher and faster and carry more passen gers at a lower cost than ever con sidered possible. In other trans portation fields such as transcon tinental buses, interstate trucks and other units engaged in long haul work, Magalloy parts have reduced the weight of the vehicle so greatly that the payload ratio to total weight has soared beyond all expectation. The result is less wear and tear on the vehicle, more mileage from gasoline and tires and greatly reduced costs because of the elimination of dead, useless weight. Probably no development in the material world will have have such a widespread influence on transportation engineering than this new wonder metal—Magalloy. BUSES THAT BEND +- Competition for passenger traf fic between railroads, airlines and bus companies is bringing a new era in transportation equipment. Latest vehicle for mass movement of passengers is a lightweight alu minum-alloy bus capable of carry ing up to 140 persons. The first bus ever built with trolley car capaci ty, it is nearly 50 feet in length and steers with both front and back wheels like a hook and ladder fire engine. To enable the bus to ne gotiate bumps and depressions in the road, engineers of the Twin Coach and the B F. Goodrich com panies cooperated in designing a flexible rubber hood and mid joint. This takes the strain off the bus by allowing it to bend in the middle. After completion of test runs, it will be first placed in ser vice in Baltimore, Md.

NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 23,1938 THE POOR AM) RICH ARE STILL WITH US If you turn back the pages of history to the times of the Colonies you will find that the Washingtons, Adamses and Jeffersons were among the rich one per cent in their times, and the poor w’ere poor er than they are today. Now the National Resources Committee finds that one-third of the population has an average an nual income of $471; that another third has $1,07G and an upper class has $3,000. Five per cent of the population gets 27.2 per cent of the total national income ,or more than one quarter of the total. One per cent of the rich get 13.8 per cent of the total. One-half of one per cent of the population, consist ing of 197,000 family groups and single persons receive as much as the poorest third of our country men. GODS OF THE HARVEST Secretary Henry A. Wallace came into the New Deal as a dis contented lowa Republican. He brought with him a plan of his own, put it on trial and called it an “ex periment.” It finally came to be known as the Ever Normal Gran ary. The great truth that “man proposes, God disposes,” has warp ed the Wallace granary, as the boundless yields of crops glut the IVHIN you 11 THINK OF T f MEN’S CLOTHING YOU THINK OF Frank Kannon’s DEPARTMENT STORE BECAUSE IIE I ▼ V J I Y V HAS THE LATEST I i 1 .

Wallace challenges the farmers— challenges them to face and con quer the new challenge. He de clares, with apparent confidence that the farmers car. still win. We all hope that he is right. COLUMBUS—WITH REVISIONS The production reprinted below was written by a third grade pupil in a Cumberland county school and was first published by Mary Vaughan, who writes for the Fay etteville Advocate. We want our readers to have the benefit of reading it—and, incidentally, we want a few more copies of it for our friends. Only genius could have so mixed Christopher Colum bus, the prophet Jonah, and Robin son Crusoe. We commend the ar ticle and urge that you read it. (Associate Editor Record). “Columbus thought he could go to Indian by going west. God sent him to a certain place and Colum bus went to another place.
