TWO CARS, NEW TRUCK
IN 1938 FORD LINE
New York, Oct. 27. An ad
vance showing of 1938 Ford V-8
cars and trucks opened this af
j ternoon at the Ford Metropolitan
showrooms at 1710 Broadway.
Two distinct Ford V-8 cars, dif
| fering in appearance, appoint
ments and price, were presented.
One was the de luxe Ford V-8, the
other the standard Ford V-8.
The standard car is designed
for owners to whom economy in
] first cost and operating cost is
j paramount. The de luxe car pro
' vides added luxury and style for
! those who desire them.
Both cars have the same V-8
I chassis. The eight de luxe types
I are available only with the 85
| horsepower V-8 engine, the three
i standard types with either the 85
; horsepower or the 60 horsepower
I engine.
The de luxe car is a stylish
sister of the standard. It is en
tirely new in appearance. The
radiator grille is of new design.
Appearance of the hood is longer
land more sweeping. Fenders are
: massive. Interior appointments are
: in keeping with the styling of the
exterior. Substantially more room j
■ in the closed sedans, greater pas- ]
j senger comfort and much larger!
i luggage space are provided,
j The standard V-8 cars reveal
new styling, with a different ra-
I diator grille design, long hood and
i flowing contours. The spacious in
| teriors are roomy and attractive- •
ly upholstered and appointed.
In addition to the two passen- j
ger cars, Ford is to present an ex
panded line of V-8 trucks and
commercial cars. Both are newly i
styled to lend added "eye appeal" i
l in commercial transportation.
| A new group of "one-tonner" |
! trucks also is offered, in addition
I to the 112-inch commercial cars'
I and the 134-inch and 157-inch
wheelbase trucks.
The new "one-tonner" is design
ed specifically to bridge the gap
between the commercial cars and
the truck groups. Available wtih ]
either 85 horsepower or 60 horse
power engine, it is expected to
make the economies of the latter
engine more widely available in
commercial transportation.
I Other advances for 1938 are the
new 134-inch wheelbase truck,
replacing the 1311-2-inch wheel
base in the big truck line, a new
frame width for the 134-inch and
157-inch wheelbase units, improv
ed brakes and easier steering and
stronger construction throughout.
NOW EVERYBODY CAN . \
STOP SAYING "STOP" (
The word "stop," which has be
come as familiar in telegrams as
the word "love," is no longer nec
essary. Punctuation marks and
paragraphs will be sent free in all
future telegrams, it has been an
nounced here by Mrs. Lillian W.
Dickens, local manager of the
Western Union.
Notice of this change in the
telegraph practice of the nation
was given in a tariff filed with
the Federal Communications.
Commission, Mrs. Dickens said. 1
and is now in effect. Now punctu- j
ation marks employed in the text
of domestic telegrams—but not to
points'outside the United States,
—will be sent as written and not
charged for.
Hey! Heh!
A farmer was once talking to
Abraham Lincoln and made an
obviously exaggerated statement
as to the size of his hay crop.
"I've been cutting hay, too,"
said Lincoln, smiling. j
"Good crop?" asked the farmer.
"How many tons?"
"Well, I don't exactly know how
many tons," said Lincoln care
lessly, "but my men stacked all
they could out-of-doors and then
stored the rest In the bam."

■ WHAT
IS
TAKING
PLACE
BY
UNITED STATES "SENATOR
Editor's note—Senator Rey
nold's column for this week
comes from Portland, Oregon
where the Senator visited
the Northwest on a trip com
bining a survey of national
conditions with a brief vaca
tion prior to returning to
Washington.
Prom the* Pacific coast, after
traversing a dozen states and
talking with countless hundreds
o* people, an individual gets a
better appreciation of national
problems and conditions confront
ing our people. There is much
advantage in looking at America
from an area devoted to develop
ment of natural resources, rather
than viewing it from the indus
trial East. This is all the more
true when the individual is con
cerned with the welfare of a per
ticular state in an industrial area.
A Tar Heel buying a package of
cigarettes in Oregon sees it in
new terms. There comes the real
ization that if the cigarettes are
made in North Carolina, the state
is linked with that
package. It creates a desire for
great numbers of people to see
where cigarettes are made. Equal
ly as important, it is realized that
the conditions under which the
cigarettes are sold and the taxes
jpaid by purchasers vitally affect
the wages of factory workers in
North Carolina and the price the
farmer secures for his tobacco.
Pew get this perspective when
they casually purchase a package
of cigarettes at home.
The same holds true of other
things'manufactured in North
Carolina, towels, furniture, blank
ets, cotton and r*yon products
and it also holds true of agricul
tural commodities grown in the
state.
j It is necessary in this day of
j great industrialization that those
concerned with legislative pro
| grams have a better understand
ing of marketing conditions and
tax systems. It is gained through
first hand information. No longer
are states and communities self
sufficient. "Buy at home" cam- j
| paigns are fine things, but if the I
I sale of North Carolina products !
I did not extend throughout the j
world and those vitally concerned
|ed did not know the conditions
' under which they are sold and
how they can be met, our work
' ers and farmers would suffer
1 greatly curtailed income.
I The broad program to adver
tise and devlop North Carolina
now attracting attention even out
I here on the West coast is evidence
that we live in an era of interstate
commerce and prosper on new
business and new industry,
j In this connection, a Tar Heel
far away from home gets still 1 '
another perspective. It is that I
North Carolina, perhaps more
than any other Southern state,
! has become all-American. Its
people have the vision and energy
of the West, the traditions of the
South, the progressiveness of the
East and the industrial interest
of the North. It explains why
North Carolina has forged rapid
ly ahead due to its diversified
fields of industry, agriculture and
| commerce.
I Those concerned with legisla- 1
tion recall that a proposal to use!
I cotton for manufacturing sacks
largely used for potatoes, through
a higher tariff on cheap imparts I
now used for that purpose was de
feated because it would raise the
cost o( bags to potato growers in
the West. The advantage that
would accrue to the South was ig
nored by those primarily concern-
I ed with the welfare of the West.
1 It offers an example of the com
plexity of national problems and
the need for better corelatlon of j
our national fields of endeavor.
| Understanding of these condi
, tions is tfie sure rod to correcj
tlon, through national and state
cooperation, of many evils in our
economic system.
