New Orders Have
Little Chance For
'46 Model Autos
DETROIT. The motorcar Indus
try may make twice as many cars
and trucks during the next six
months as it made in the half-year
just ended.
That program would bring about
2,200,000 vehic-; : off the assembly
lines between now and Dec. 31. It
will not mean, however that delays
in retail deliveries are going to be
cut down materially
Many retailers still are discourag
ing the placing of orders fur 1946
models In all but a few instances
they alread have sold more ve
hicles than they can hope to g.et
from the factories between now and
next spring when the second post
war models are expected to come
out. Whether these will be called
1947 or 1948 models has not yet
been disclosed.
Prospects Dubious
In any event the prospects of the
average individual for early de
livery of a new car are just about
as dubious as they were three and
four months ago.
The somewhat more optimistic
production prospects are based
upon the easing of materials short
ages that plagued the industry ever
since the war's end and the assump
tion that major labor disputes will
not interfere with manufacturing
operations to any great extent dur
ing the remainder of the year.
The shortage of seat cushion
springs that interfered with car
body output has improved mate
rially; bumpers are in better supply
and shipments have been stepped
up. Still worrying the manufact
urers is the supply of copper used
in electrical equipment and radi
ator cores
Serious also is the nut and bolt
situation with production held back.

POST OFFICE TOPPLED BY QUAKE
A newly appointed Scotch minis
ter on his fii et Sunday of office had
reason to complain atmt the scanty
collection.
"lion," replied one of the elders,
"they are close vera close. But,"
confidentially, "the auld meenister
he put three or li.ur saxpence into
the plate hisscT, just to gi'e them
a sta:'. Of course he took the sax
pence out later,"
The new minister tried the same
plan, but the next Sunday he again
reported a dismal failure. The total
collection was not only small, but
he was grieved to find that his own
sixpences were missing.
"Ye may be a better preacher
than the auld meenister," ex
claimed the elder, "but if ye had
half the knowledge o' the world, an'
o' yer ain flock in perticular, ye'd
ha' done what he did an' glued the
saxpences to the plate."

proached an American Indian who
was making a tour of the Hollywood
studios.
"Well, Hiawatha," she asked pa
tronizingly, "how do you lik our

With his copper face impassive,
the Indian replied:
"Very well, thank you. And how
do you like our country?"
Silence in A Flat
George Bernard Shaw was hav
ing lunch in a London restaurant
one day, when an orchestra struck
up a particularly noisy tune. With
out any intermission, it followed It
with another. Shaw called the head
waiter and asked:
"Does the orchestra play anything
on request'. "
"Yes, sir," the man replied, "Is
there something you would like
them to play?"
"There is," said Shaw. "Ask them
to play dominoes until I have fin
ished eating."

American Influence
One of our English subscribers has
sent us an advertisement he saw in
a surrey newspaper. It hints at a
reign of terror of which very little
seems to have been heard on this
side of the ocean, and we're glad to
print it:
"Young lady, aged 64 years, who
has just returned from America and
knows all the answers, seeks a gov

family without disturbing father."

July 21-27 Is Set
By President As
Farm Safety Week
RALEIGH To promote safety
among farm people. President
Truman has proclaimed the week
of July 21 to 27 as National l'uiin
Safety Week.
"It is well to focus nation-wide
attention on the tremendous toll
taken by accidents to farm people,
but we must remember that farm
safety is an everyday matter, and
one which requires constant alert
ness," says David S. Weaver, in
charge of the agricultural engineer
ing department at State College.
Weaver points out that farming
is one of the most dangerous of all
occupations, and that most acci
dents can be prevented by intelli
gent foresight and action.
Approximately 3.500 farm people
lost ther lives, and more than $90 -000,
00U in property was destroyed
in 1944 alone by farm fires. In
fact, more farm people were killed
by accidents in America's first two
years of participation in the war
than the number of fighting men
killed in the war itself.
"The majority of farm accidents
and fires can be prevented."
Weaver says, "if every faun family
will put into effect this simple
three-point safety program":
1. Learn to recognize and hunt
out the accident and fire hazards on
the farm and in the farm home.
2. Correct or remove those haz
ards that you can.
3. Learn to live and work safely
with those hazards that cannot he
