New Sleel Source
Lake Success, New York—The
world would not have to fear a
shortage of iron and steel, if the
basic resources—iron ore and cok
ing coal—of the underdeveloped
areas were properly exploited.
These facts are among those,
brought out in a report titled!
"World Iron Ore Reserves and,
Their Utilization in Under-Devel- .
oped Areas." prepared by the
United Nations Subcommission on
Economic Development and Sta
bility.
The report—the first to be is
sued in a series of projected re
sources studies, dealing mainly,
with basic resources and their;
utilization in underdeveloped re
gions—finds that on the basis of
then iron and coking coal re
serves, China and India can
achieve an annual production rate
of 20.000.000 tons or more than 10 t
times 'heir present output.
Latin America also has enor
mous reserves of high grade iron
ores, although it has little high
quality coking coal well located
in relations to ores and markets.
Large scale utilization of ore re
serves depends upon the develop
ment of techniques for reducing
the use of coking coal, oi upon its '
importation, the report points out.
Shortage of coking coal is the
limiting factor in Africa, which t1
has extensive coal reserves Ex

Homemakers Will
Meal In Creswell
More than six hundred Future
Homemakers of America from
fourteen counties are expected for
the District I rally to be held in
the school auditorium at Cres
well on Saturday of this week.
The meeting will open at 10:00
o'clock that morning and close
at 3:00 o'clock that afternoon, it
was announced. Rev. Paul B Nick
ens of Plymouth will address the
group and there will a talent
show to feature the entertainment
ever, possible at low shipping
costs.
The larger and more populous
underdeveloped countries already
have the beginnings of a modern
iron and steel industry. Yet their
I'ombined production is small, ag
gregating only five per cent of the
world total.
The report sees increased im
aorts of iron ores from the under
developed countries by industrial
rations as a means of helping
;hcir economic development with
.ut impairing reserves for their
iwn use.
Installation of modern steel

if the world would require large

riant containing blast furnaces,

Our school is small but one to
be proud of in many ways
We have six grades and two
teachers. The teachers are like
mothers to us and we love them.
We are one big family.
Our school day starts with a de
votional period. Miss Bee reads
Bible stories and asks questions
about them. Mrs. Leggett is read
ing us a book called "The Beggar
Boy of Galilee.” It is about a beg
gar boy, Caleb, and his blind
father, Bartimalus trying to find
Jesus so that Bartimalus might
get his eyes opened. It was excit
ing when they found Jesus. It al
most made us cry with joy when
he could see Caleb for the first
time.
The first lesson in our room is
geography. We have really enjoy
ed studying about World War II
and the Korean War. The Korean
War is not in our book but Mrs.
Leggett has shown us maps and
told us how and why it started.
We like to follow our troops on
the map.
Our other lessons are interest

According to it recent widespread survey —
almost half the motor car owners in the
I'nitcd States would choose a Cadillac, if
they had their unrestricted choice.
Cadillac was voted the favorite by more
than five to one over any other motor ear built
in America—a degree of leadership that is
probably without parallel in the whole of
American industry.
This is, of course, a tremendous tribute to
Cadillac, and to those who have designed it so
well and built it so soundly for so long a time.
Hut we think it is, equally, a tribute to the
iinetican people themselves.
Only ;i small percentage <>f American motor
ists have ever owned or driven a Cadillac—or,
for that matter, so much as en joyed a ride in one.
Hut that has not hindered the public in
general from sensing the soundness of the
Cadillac ideal—or from giving its wholehearted
approval to the Cadillac crusade for quality.
Where the effort is worthy—the American
people approve.
We regret exceedingly that not every one
who wants a Cadillac can own one. But we
believe, sincerely, that many have needlessly
denied themselves the pleasure.
Cadillac cars are far more practical and
economical lo own than most people realize.
It costs less to buy the lower-priced Cadillacs
than it costs to buy certain models of numerous
other makes of cars,
furthermore, under normal driving condi
tions, a single tankful of gasoline will usually
suffice for a whole day’s drive.
And, of course, when it comes to endurance,
a Cadillac stands alone—for its life-span has
®never l>een fully measured.
Yes, for a very wide group of people, a
Cadillac car is a sensible, practical buy. We
hope sincerely that it is for you.
