J i PAGE TWC (Third Scclloa) THE WAYNES VILLE MOUNTAINEER T, High Aulo Output Seen For 1950 By CLINTON' R. I 'idled Press Staff DETROIT JUP' -jutomubile makers. WILKTNSON Correspondent - The nation's with business "market saturation," business in creased during the later months. R. L. Polk Sc Co., automotive sta tisticians, fixed October s the "al (most certain" all-time monthly leader in new car sales. The pre i vious high came in August. Total output this year was not limited in most cases by what dealers could sell, but what could be turned out. The steel and coal strikes nipped into production dur ing the last quarter, lopping 475. 000 vehicles by Ward's estimates. The. industry, fortunate from a labor standpoint this year, faces ver better, look for 1930 to bring i two 1950 crises when Chrysler and pioaucoon almost equal to the allium- record year just ending. With an amazing ,000,0OO-ve-l ale output in 1949 behind them. . utomotivv men believe the de mand for ww cars is far from sat i tied and sales will be about as nod as 1949. Schedules of General Motors. ioIossus of the industry', call for as many or perhaps'' more cars and trucks in 1950. Other com panies are expected to follow suit. Although government leaders and automotive executives are guardedly cautious about predict ing the future, they certainly have no complaints about 1949 business. Ward's automotive reports, sta thtieal bible uf the industry, esti mates that 1949 total production will total "well over 6.000. 0O0" ve hicles in humming L". S. plants. October Sales Highest Despite gloomy forecasts of CM contracts expire in May. The I million-member CIO United Auto I Workers will drive in mid-spring i for the unprecedented company -I financed pensions it won from I Ford in September, j Oddly, the only major walkout jof 1949 was caused not by the j successful demand on Ford for !$100 retirement benefit-; and a j health plan, but by a minor issue speed of Ford assembly lines in down on 55 occasions. GM end Chrysler probably will grant UAW President Walter P. Kewther's pension and welfare demands. Neither Chrysler nor the union seem particularly worried that their mid-contract negotiations, begui. last July, are lagging. GM already has begun talks on "tech nical phases" oi the pension issue. UAW demands are to be "finalized" early in 1950. several months be fore the General Motors contract expires May 31. The year saw almost every major auto manufacturer slashing prices and GM twice, timed io coincide with dips in the government cost-of-living index which determines wages of GM workers under the present contract.

LILIUS Jeweler The cuts, however, were rela tively small, except in the case of sales-plagued Kaiser-Frazer Cor poration, which hopes to stimu late business by bringing out a new model in the Chevrolet-Ford- 1 Plymouth price class. I Kaiser, only firm closed down by lagging sales, borrowed $45,000,000 iroin tne government, partly to finance the new "lighter, cheaper" car. In view of current labor de I mands and lack of orice changes in new models already brought out. a major unexpected business recession seems to be the only I basis for more price-tag reduc tions in 1950. C. E. Wilson, president of Gen eral Motors, who masterminds 1-ioduction of 50 per cent of American automobiles, probably echoed the feelings of other auto- ' motive men when he said: "The automobile business will still be very good in 1950. The de mand created by the lack of pro duction during the war has not been satisfied. niiHUi lanuy greater man it was before the war. perhaos as much as 25 per cent.

THt JOVS OP )il w the 1 I The children were nestled all snug in their beds, j While visions of sugar plums danced in their heads; And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap, Had just settled our brains for a long winter's nap, When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter. Away to the window I flew like a flash, Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow Gave the lustre of midday to the objects below, When,, what to my wondering eyes should appear, But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer, With a little old driver so lively and quick I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick. More rapid than eagles his coursers they came, And he whistled and shouted and called them by name "Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen! On, Comet! on, Cupid! on, Donner and Blitzen! To the top of the porch! to. the top of the wall! Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!" As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky, So up to the house-top the coursers they flew, With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too. And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof The prancing and pawing of each little hoof. As I drew in my head, and was turning around, Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound. He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot, And his clothes were all tarnished with asnes and soot' A bundle oi toys he had flung on his back, And he looked like a pedlar just opening his pack. His eyes how they twinkled! his dimples how merry! His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry! His droll little mouth was drawn up like a a bow, And the-Jaeard on his chin was as white as the snow; The stump of his pipe he held tight in his teeth, And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath; He had a broad face and a little round belly, That shook when lie laughed, like a bowlful of jelly. He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf, And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself; A wink of his eye and a twist of his head, Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread; He spoke not a word, but went straight to his 'work, And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk, And laying his finger aside of his nose, And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose; He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle, And away they all flew like the down of a thistle. But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight, "Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!" Clement Clarke Moore.

A'ong about the time atocky Tom my was 15 he landed his first job as an illustrator for Leslie's Weekly at $4 a week. By the time he was 20 he was sent to England by the New York Illustrated News to sketch the Hcenari-Sayers fight, an out standing sports event of the day. In 18C2 he joined the staff of Harper's Weelcly and began the se ries of emblematic drawings which continued throughout the Civil War. From those he created certain trademarks that have been the in spiration of cartoonists down to the present notably the Republican elephant and the Democrat donkey. Famous as the political symbols are today, Nast's Santa Claus prob .iblv holds first place in the hearts of Americans. Before "Nast's day, a few artists had drawn Santa on one occasion or another, but could not seem to agree on how the old gentleman should look. Nast changed all that. He located Santa a home at the North Pole and gave him a sleigh drawn by reindeer. He drew the familiar, fat, merry old fellow with red cheeks and white beard, dressed in red, wearing a cap and boots, carry ing a pack of toys and smoking a short pipe. The artist then gave Santa a spy-glass so that during the yeai he might pick out the good children from the bad, and also a big book in which to write their names and keep their records. This conception of Santa Claus first appeared in 1863. Since that time, the pictured Santa has been the same, although the spy glass and pipe seem to have been dropped by the way.
