Optimistic Note From Ford
k- W. Smead, General Sales Manager of the
Ford Compafiy, said recently November and
early December sales of Ford cars and trucks
were the best in the company’s history.
Sinead predicts 1954 production, of all make
cars, will be somewhere close to 5,500,000
units.
This compares with an estimated produc-
tion of 6,150,000 units in 1953. Thus the offi-
ctal predicts a drop of approximately 500,000
to 600,000 units in 1954.
Nevertheless, Smead was optimistic over
his company’s prospects and pointed out that
delinquencies in credit car purchases would
probably be lower in 1954 than the pre-war
average of about three per cent. The most in-
teresting statement made by Smead is that
reporting the Company’s sales record in No-
vember and early December.
His prediction for 1954 sales, although an
estimated decline, are not discouraging. Auto-
mobile manufacturers will be in position to
realize healthy profits if anything like 5,-
500,000 automobiles are sold in 1954. Though
it would not be a record sales year, it would
nevertheless be far above the average and
represent a high level of economic activity
for the trade.
The Exodus From The Armed Forces
i «
^ A committee named by Defense Secretary
Charles E. Wilson this spring recently report-
ed that the alarming rate of resignations from
the armed services was due to curtailment of
benefits which were formerly a part of the
career military service. The committee urged
a pay increase, approval of distinctions in
rank and living patterns and a restoration of
fringe benefits.
This last recommendation is perhaps the
most important of ail. Fringe benefits for
servicemen include such things as cheaper
prices at post exchanges, which enable, serv-
icemen to buy cheaper than those who are
not in the military services.
The group found that “pressure groups of
business interests have emasculated many of
these benefits,” in speaking of fringe benefits,
such as low prices at post exchanges.
The armea services, it seems to us, can best
check the exodus from the armed forces these
days by providing its personnel decent hous-
ing, a good opportunity for the education oi
the children ot service personnel, medical ana
dental care for dependents at reasonable cost,
and a system of lower prices in post ex-
changes.
Contrary to other corrective measures, such
as a pay-raise, these benefits will cost very
little and yet will mean much to the individ
uals affected. Since they will serve the in
terests of national defense, there seems to bf
no valid reason why action in this directio-
should not be taken at the next session o
Congress.

Looking
A recent survey among book
publishers established the fact that
the best sellers of 1953 were books
on religion and books on sex.
Lest readers draw a wrong con-
clusion from this apparent contra-
diction, let me also report that the
Showman’s Trade review publish-
ed an announcement that the best
box-office attractions of the year
Cl the movies were Marilyn Mon-
roe and popcorn.
The mere fact that sex was as
favorite a reading subject as reli-
gion does not detract one whit
from the rising interest in religion,
nor does it prove that man is de-
teriorating because there is a great
interest in matters of sex.
Nor does the fact that Marilyn
Monroe had to vie with popcorn
as a box office attraction take
anything away from her prowess
as an actress.
People can eat popcorn WHILE
watching Miss Monroe. People can
show an in‘ crest in sex and still
be deeply religious.

Human nature, being what it is.
is composed'of a little good and a
little bad in all of us, or perhaps
I should say a whole lot of good
and a little bad—or a whole lot ot'
bad and a little gcod, whichever
you prefer.
Nobody is either a complete an-
gel or a complete devil.
1 know—and you know—people
who apparently have ice in their
veins. Nothing seems to touch
them. They turn down all charity
appeals. They refuse to take part
in all civic activities. To all ap-
pearances they are self-centered
Scrooges.
Yet, without anyone knowing
anything about it, they make an-
onymous contributions to All sorts
of good causes and to many unfor-
tunate people.
It seems almost as if they are
ashamed of what is good in them.
They consider compassion a weak-
ness and hide it under coat of
armor..
They remind me of a rich wo-
man I knew in San Francisco
many years back, she was quite up
in California society and put on a
glittering front. But she was one
of those well-known mixtures of
culture and vulgarity.
So she took San Francisco’s most
conservative newspaper as well as
its most sensational tabloid. But
she had the newsboy deliver the
conservative paper at the front
door, while the tabloid had to be
deposited at the service entrance.

I recently read a book by Dr.
Alexis Carrel. Nobel Prize win-
ner. It is called “Reflections on
Life." and in it he speaks of the
“whole man” as opposed to the two
senornte men in each of us. the
intellectual man and the spiritual
one.
He says that there is a grea
uncertainty in many people’
minds as to just what is good an<
what is evil. Man’s conduct, h<
says, is derived from the triple lai
of life — character, self-disciplin
and liberty.
He even suggests that ther-
should be two classes of teachers
those who give their pupils th
ordinary courses of education, an
others to teach them the spiritur
values of life.
A well balanced person can rea'”
books both on religion and on sc
—just as a well balanced perso-
can well eat popcorn while look
ing at .Marilyn Monroe on th
screen.

That Spices Up Life
WOODS HOLE, Mass. <U.R) —
The amount of water that flows
’hrough the Florida Straits, be-
♦ween Key West and Havana,
Cuba, every second of the year
would fill 100,000,000 bathtubs.
That was reported by the Woods
Hole Oceanographic Institution
which conducted a 12-month study
if the Straits waters.
The study showed that volume
if the Florida current averaged
17,000,000 cubic meters a second
and ranged up to 39,000,800 cubic
meters.

Scriptures Indicate that the holy
angers veil their fsces in His pres-

solemn reverence. Then, surely,
how much more should we, finite,
sinful beings, com* to Him in a
reverent manner.
When we pray "Hallowed
Thy name," we ask that It be hal-
lowed in this world, and hal-
lowed In us personally. The peti-
tion calls upon us to possess His
character. We cgnnot hallow His

ical protection, and for spiritual
guidance. The sixty-five words
used by Jesus in this, the Lord's
Prayer, are so simple that even a
small child may use them, yet are
so comprehensive that their sig-
nificance can never be fully
grasped by the greatest minds.
Jesus did not necessarily give in
these words a new prayer, or a
new form of prayer, nor did He
mean to restrict His followers to
the use of the exact words. The
gospel writers give two different
occasions when the disciples spe-
cifically asked the Master to
teach them to pray. They had no-
ticed how so often lie spent an
entire night alone in prayer, fol-
lowing a long hard day of teach-
ing and dealing with multitudes
of people. But upon returning
from those night hours of com-
munion with His Father He ap-
peared fresh and ready'for a new
day. With a conviction of their
own dflre need they exclaimed,
"Lord, teach us to pray.”
In this model prayer Jesus
teaches us to call Hi* Father our
Father. So very eager is the heart
of our Saviour to welcome us into
the membership of the family of
God. that in the first words we are
to use in approaching God, He
places /the assurance of our divine
relationship, ‘‘Our Father." The
infinite One makes it our happy
privilege to approach Him by the
name of Father.
When we call God our Father,
we acknowledge ourselves as His
children. We are asking to be
guided by His wisdom, and prom-
ise to be obedient to Him, know-
ing that His love for us, His chil-
dren, is a changeless love. We will
accept His plan for our lives. As
His children we will hold His hon-
or and His work as objects of
our highest interest. We will re-
joice to perform any act, however
humble, that will glorify Him.
Jesus snys that the One to whom
He bids us look as “our Father’*
The poet Whittier was so very
right in his lines:
The dear Lord's best Interpreters
Are humble human souls;
The gospel of a life like His
Is more than books or scrolls.
From scheme and creed the light
goes out;
The saintly fact survives:
The blessed Master none can
doubt
Revealed in holy lives.
