In consequence of these policies the Ford Motor Company has one
of the finest bodies of employees in the world. The larger proportion are
mature men of long sen ice w ith the Company—sober, decent family men.
Hundreds of them have been with the Company for more than 25 years—
thousands for more than 15 years. Their health record, home ownership and
citizenship records are gratifyingly high.

FORD
■■«
The Ford Motor Company was the first large company to establish
the 8-hour day—also in 1914. And the 40-hour week was inaugurated by the
Ford Motor Company in 1926, years before any such laws existed.
A
The Ford Motor Company employs men without regard to race,
creed or color. It is common knowledge that working conditions in the Ford
shops are the best that science and constant care can make them. A square
deal, a just wage and stabilized employment for a large proportion of our
employees—and as fully stabilized for all as conditions will permit—enable
our men to retain their personal independence.

All this is reflected in Ford products, whether cars, trucks or tractors.
The work is honestly done. The materials are the best that can be made or
procured. Less profit to the Company and more value to the customer is
known throughout the world as “Ford’s way of doing business.”
It is the policy of the Ford Motor Company to share the benefits of
advanced methods and management with workers and public alike. Increased
wages and employment over a period of many years have resulted in a 300
per cent increase in the built-in value of the hord car and a 73 per cent
reduction in its price.

The Ford Motor Company was founded by a working-man for
working-men. Its present officers began as employees of the Company. It
was the first company to pay a minimum wage, beginning in 1914, at the
then astounding figure of $5 a day. That was double the prevailing wage of
the time. The Ford minimum is now $6 a day for all employees engaged in
production work. And from that, the wages rise to $10.80 a day, with th©
average wage $725, exclusive of salaried employees.
Ford Motor Company was the first to make a motor car within the
means of the average family—quitting the manufacture of what was then
the largest selling model in the world to do so. Its chosen field in all the 30
years since that time has been the average American family, for which it has
consistently provided car facilities which formerly only the wealthy could buy.

AUSTIN—<#’)—A prediction there

Saturday by R. F. Voyer. general
director of the Texas social hygiene
association.
Voyer based his opinion on re-
sults of examinations given 190.000
persons in three groups in the past
18 months.
He said 7.5 per cent of the first
group examined were infect
while th? third group teats. 13

Attacks “Experimental"
Those forays still remained in the
category of experiments, a testing
of the defensive strength of Brit-
ain. They did not assume any of
the aspects of the mass attacks long
forecast and tong feared—great
"waves” of bombers deluging ship-
ing and cities with destruction.
Indeed, there were circumstances
about the first series of raids on
North Sea shipping in the past week
which seemed to mark them as
Nazi propaganda. There was a
widespread view that they were in-
tended to form a special setting in
German news reports for the Hitler
address commemorating the seventh
anniversary of his rise to power.
Luck helped the score or so Nazi
bombers which toured British coast
lines on the first series of raids.
They played tag with heavy cloud
banks. The British Isles’ worst
weather of the winter hampered
defense aviation much more than

The hour of “total war" in Europe,
so frequently fortold by both Ger-
man and Franco-British spokes-
men. remains strangely deferred
for Europe’s biggest and most pre-
pared belligerents. It is still only
the little fellows, like Poland and
Finland, who have felt the full ter-
rible shock of modern war from
the air.
The bombing expeditions that
German airmen made into the North
Sea lanes and along the English
coast during recent days bear that
out.

After Garner's announcement that
