NEW YORK, August 27. — It
looks as though there is a bright
business is looking them over with
iea’s smaller communities. Big
business is looking them over with
more than a little interest ant*
that interest soon will be translat
ed into new manufaeuring plants
General Electric, for instance
plans to spend $120 million on
new properties and small towns
will get a good part of that. Says
Charles E. Wilson, G. E. presi
dent: “Wherever possible, as we j
expand facilities we want to put
these plants down in relatively

smaller towns.” Other big com'
panies have similar plans. Behind
this trend toward decentralisa
tion of industry is the desire to
create more jobs away from over
crowded cities. In the smallei
town, executives point out, living
costs are lower, there is more op
portunity for the worker to enjoy
outdoor recration and he develops
a geater community interest.
These executives find a greater
stability in the small town resi
dent and that, together with bet
ter living conditions, reduces la,
bor unrest. One thing these com
panies will avoid is putting a
huge plant in a small town. "We
don't want to have too many ot
the townspeople working in one
plant. Then the community becom
es known as a ’company town',
one executive said.
BETTER FOR LESS — We
Americans have long taken it tor
granted that our system of com
petitive enterprise automatically
yields us better and better articles
of commerce, and for less anti
less money. Auto tires, oranges
and electric light bulbs are fre
quently mentioned as exampi -s
One of the most clear-cut and im
pressive comparisons along this
line was made the other day by J.
Ward Keener, assistant to the
^resident of the B. F. Goodrich
ompany. He showed that the av
-rage motorist’s “tire cost pel
housand miles” has been reduced
n the past 25 years from $>2.oo
to no eeiiis, i ms is uecause even
the synthetic tires of today give
135 per cent greater mileage than I
their natural predecessors of 26
years ago, though costing 35 per]
cent less. Futherniore, they con- !
tain half-again as much material.]
You can also tip your hat to the
American way for the tact, wh t 1
Keener brought out, that since [
Pearl Harbor this country has pro’ [

as the total tonnage of rubber the!

Seaboard Placed Ai
Order For Large
Diesel Engine
The Seaboard Railway has plac
ed an order for a 564,000 pounc
diesel electric locomotive whicl
will go into service this Fall, of
ficials announced from Norfoll
' today. The giant unit is now un
1 der construction at the Baldwir
Locomotive Works in Philadel
phia and when completed, will bi
j used initially for experimenta
i purposes on fast, heavy freighl
' hauls. If the big fellow lives ui
to expectations, it will be addei
to Seaboard’s motive power fleet
as the largest locomotive on the
railroad. In fact( no railroad en
gine in the country will equal it
for size or power.
The heart of this iron horse is
made up of two 8-cylinder, super
charged diesel engines generating
1500 HP each. Both engines
drive electric generators which in
turn furnish power to eight trac
tion motors. In terms of speed,
this simply means that the mon
ster can pull a long freight tram
at 85 miles per hour which is fas
ter than most top-flight passenger
streamliners run today.
The Baldwin behemoth is 02
feet long with a 78-foot wheel
base. It’s head stands 16 feet a
bove the track and 24 wheels - 16
drivers and 8 guiders - support it.
In order to make the locomotive
flexible enough to readily negoti
ate curves at high speed, these
wheels are arranged in two groups
of 8 drivers and 4 guiders. And
while designed primarily for high
ball freight seivice, the Baldwin
is entirely suitable for fast passen
ger runs.

I HOME REMODELING—Plans
for building an estimated 800,-]
] 000 new dwelling units annually
; for the next 10 years have some
1 what overshadowed the potential
ities in another building field,
that of home remodeling. For
every $4,000 spent on new hous
ing another $1,000 will go into
major home repairs and altera-*
;tions, predicts R. E. Jordan, chair- •
man of the Residential Construc
tion Committee of the Tile Coun-j
cil of America. An estimated $1,
. 100,000,000 will be spent annual
ly on such remodeling during tin j
next five years, he believes. Be
cause of anticipated heavy de-,
mands for floor and wall tile in
the remodeling and home building
field, tile manufacturers are Pre’
paring to triple their prewar pro
duction. In the remodeling fnar
ket alone they expect three or1
four million families to build ad-1
ditional bathrooms, renovate pre
sent ones or install tile showers. |
More than half of all home owners
will be in the market for improve
ment or major remodeling work
during the next five years, Jor
dan estimates.
BITS O’ BUSINESS—Although
thousands of war workers have
suddenly found themselves out of
work, the job situation is better
than headlines suggest. Many
peacetime industries are still short
of help. The textile industry, for
instance, can use approximately
76,000 men right now .... Shor
tening may be the last food freed
of controls. The cotton crop is
small which means less cottenseed
oil; soybean production is off 6
million pounds. Soap manufactur
ers, at the bottom of the priority
list for oils and fats, may not
have prewar quantities and quali
ty washing and cleaning soaps for
another year .... Corn for chick
en feed is shorter than ever . . .

CONDITIONING CHILD FOR ]
SCHOOL
At this time of year you're pro
bably pretty busy getting your
children ready for school. Junior
and his sisttr have no doubt out
grown last year’s sweaters and
shoes, and these aren’t too easily
provided in this year of shortages.
Hut there's more than shopping
to do in getting your child ready
i or school. Have you stopped to
think what a lot of other things a
child brings with hint to schooibe
sides his school bag? For instance,
he brings physical health, good or|
bad, which will most certainly |
affect the way he does his school
work. Make sure that any defects
due to teeth or tonsils, faulty nu
trition or fatigue are taken care
of before school begins. Consult!
your doctor or a health center if
you have any ^ doubts.
But equally important i< hi*
mental health. If he has had a
good summer vaction, with plenty
of satisfying activity, he is likely \
to return to school with fresh
zest and interest. But you can do
much to help him have such atti
tildes. Discuss with him the new
things he’ll be learning this year,
the new teacher, and any inter
esting things you may know about
her. Talk about some of the
schoolmates he hasn't seen since
last June, and stire his curiosity
about any new children who will
be in his class this fall. Not only
is this friendliness part of Ameri
can school life but understanding
and good relationships with other
people will stand your child in
good stead all his life.
If your child is going to school
for the first time you will make
•he experience a happier one if
you prepare him for it. First, ac
quaint him with the trip itself."
Don’t wait until opening day to
take your child to school. Take
him frequently the safest • way
Stop at each corner and say,|
•‘Look both ways before crossing
the street.” Then let him take you
to school! Let him remind you to
look both ways at intersections.
Then he should know ahead of
time what school really looks like
One child I know of thought the^
school room would be like her fa
ther’s office and was terTilled by
, so many chairs and tables. Car
rying out orders is another experi
ence the pre-school child should
have. By four he should be going
to neighbors on errands, and to a
near-by store, and he should be
carrying out numerous simple di
rections about the house. 1 hen at
five and six he is ready for the
teacher’s, “Cover the paint jars
and put the brushes in water. Now
sit in the cirsle.”
Teachers ask that a child be
able to give his full name and ad-'
dress. Have your chili^ repeal
after you his complete name and
address as hi- would a nursery
rhyme. D,o this several times a
day, every day, until he says them
easily'. And it helps a lot it a child
can identify his own wraps. Ot
course, put your child s name in
his rubbers and overshoes. But a
child of ffve should learn to reco
gnize his clothing just as you do
yours. By getting him repeatedly
to identify his wraps and recog
nize differences in colors, and sc
forth, you are developing his pow
er of obervation.
