VVHKN THK PILGRIMS celebrated the first
Thanksgiving in 1623, they were thankful for
their deliverance from the near-starvation con
ditions of 1621 and 1622. For during those
struggling years, the colonial government
con trolled the land and what the people
produced. There was never enough food, and
the family of the man who worked hard fared aa
poorly as the family of the man who was un
willing or unable to work.
Hut in 1623, Governor Bradford and hi* chiefs
admitted they were not “wiser than God”, ai*l
that they could not “plan for everybody”. F.ach
family began to own and use its own plot of
land. Shirkers became workers—production in
creased—morale was strengthened—and there
was plenty for all.
That is the essence of free enterprise. When a
man works for himself—with his hands, time,
talent, or money—knowing that the reward will
be his ... he produces plenty, and everybody
benefits.
Let us give Thanks for our American heritage
when we count our blessing* this Tlumksgivin*
I porates the starter control. The
steering wheel also is re-designed,
with a full-circle horn ring on
custom models. A posture control
front seat is mounted on curved
tracks, and when it is moved for
ward or backward, the entire
I seat assembly tips to the correct
position for tall or short drivers.
An assist spring moves the seat
forward automatically.
An outstanding feature of the
new cars is a new "softer” ride
which is made possible by sus
pension improvements and auto
matic ride controls. A new con
trol valve was developed in the
hydraulic shock absorbers, which
adjusts the cushioning effect. The
combination of new tension-type
rear spring suspension and softer
front spring rate maintains a pro
per balance between the front and
rear for a level ride on all roads.
Rubber engine mounts also have
been redesigned.
The Ford deluxe line includes
the business coupe, tudor and
fordor models. In the custom line
are the club coupe, tudor, and
convertible. Thr Country Squire
station wagon and the Crestline!'
complete the passenger car line.
The V« engine or the Six are op
tional on all models except the
convertible and the Crcstliner. I j
There will be a choice of 10 bas
ic colors in all models except the |
convertible which will have 12
and the Crestiliner which will I

is chrome flashed. A weather
proof ignition system also is a
feature.

Reviewing the sale of license
| tags for 1949 and 1950, Mr. Car
starphen said that 7,871 of the
'plates had been sold through Mon
day of this week. He pointed out
that the total sale was 713 less
that the 1949 figure and added
that the reduction is traceable to
the opening of a branch office in
Plymouth this year. Had those
sales been handled here as they
were a year ago, the total would
have been much larger, Mr. Car
starphen said.
Platbs were sold for various
types of vehicles by the local li
cense bureau, as follows, with the
first figures showing the 1950
sales and the second figures the
sale for 1949:
Autos, 5,500 and 5,924; motor
cycles, 88 and 100: trucks, 1,328
and 1,430; farm trucks, 105 and
104; car trailers, 728 and 840; com
mercial trailers, 122 and 174.
