In 1939, reports the U. S. Depart-
ment of Agriculture, the 32 million
people living on farms were able to
supply the needs of from 50 to 7
percent more city people than thra
same number could supply 30 years
ago. Technological advance, plus
improvements n breeds of livestock,
farming practices, and crop varieties,
have contributed to this increase in
efficiency, and, by the same token, to
farm unemployment.

LOCAL DEALER
for Profit and Permanence
A careful survey of the local market shows
that there is a great potential for Pon-
tiac’s four lines of cars in this community^
Therefore, Pontiac intends to establish a
dealership here at once, and prefers to offer
this fine opportunity to a local man.
The dealer who handles the Pontiac line of
automobiles is equipped to sell to buyers in
every price class—from low price to luxury
... and he will have a franchise that provides
high discounts, maximum protection and com-
plete factory cooperation. The investment re-
quired is reasonable.
If you are interested in this great opportunity
... if you wish to investigate it further, write
today to

Dearest Mamma and all,
Under the existing conditions I
am not allowed to give dates and
ships names but I will be in the
States somewhere around Ivorlee’s
birthday. I will wire you from Los
Angeles as soon as I arrive so please
do not worry. I am taking no risks
this way. Bob thought it best I re-
turn now while I can.
I am bringing all our rugs and a
few smaller household things—three
large packing boxes in all. Now the
question is, what shall I do with
them. Do you think it advisable to
have rugs cleaned and stored in Los
Angeles or what—gee I do not know.
It wasn’t fun breaking up our
pretty little home and leaving Bob
and all our pretty new furniture
behind but things like that seem so
insignificant at times like this.
Perhaps I should buy a turtle back
second hand car to bring all the
junk some place or ether. Do any
of you plan on going to the Fair?
I’m not even interested, in fact I
cjpn't think it’s worth the trouble nor
risk to drive out.
Any way, I shall be glad to see
and be with you again but it’s so
difficult to realize that I am on the
way back without Bob. I'm not at
all pleased and hate like the dickens
to tell Mrs. Sauve.
I’ll tell you all about everything
when I see you. T
until after contract is completed, of
course unless he is called home.
Hope all of you are well and please
write me c-o Biltmcre Hotel. Los
Anegeles. Calif., if you have hime.
Angeles, Calif., if you have time.
Love to all,
If your work is such that it causes
excessive perspiration, add a pinch
of ordinary table salt to each drink
of water you take to help prevent
heat cramps. This is advised by Dr.
Geo. W. Cox, State Health Officer, to
forestall a possible increase in the
number of heat victims as the Texas
thermometer hits 90 degrees and
above.
Laborers, mechanics farmers, and
Bob will remain i white collar workers whose work
■ >. causes them to sweat profusely are
in danger of having their body salt
content become deficient, with re-
sulting heat cramps or heat fag. Salt
is a prominent constituent of sweat:
the body may lose as high as forty to
fifty grains of salt during hot days.
In industry, a method of prevent-,
ing heat cramps is to take a tablet
of pure salt or a mixture of salt and
dextrose with each drink of water.
Workmen whose duties require mus-
cular exertion should be especially
careful to add more than the usual
amount of salt to what they eat
and drink.
Salt deficiency may be prevented
by taking salt in various ways.
Whore nreoared salt tablets are not
available, table salt may be added to
each drink of water. Milk is a
source of salt and will help to make
up for the deficiency caused by
sweating. Alcoholic drinks should be
avoided.
Heat cramps is characterized by
pains (cramos) in the abdominal
region, headache, and in severe cases,
by nausea and vomiting. The body
temperature remains about normal,
likewise the pulse rate. Body salt
losses occur ■without the knowledge
of the individual until there is a de-
ficiency; then the abdominal muscles
begin to cramp.

Those in the Washington Mutal
■ Admiration Society aren’t burning
any bridges behind them. They are
leaving the way clear for a retreat
when, and if, it becomes necessary to
admit that the defense program isn’t
moving fast enough to soothe public
clamor for speed.
This statement is not meant to
cause any alarm of fear that the
program has bogged down, but sim-
ply to reveal the care with which
this group has planned for its own
security at the public feed trough.
Nor does it refer to the President’s
National Defense Commission.
In brief, those who direct every-
thing in Washington but the weather
are already laying the foundation for
a pedestal from which a large finger
of accusation will point in the direc-
tion of the manufacturing industries
—if it becomes necessary.
Already there have been insinua-
tions that industry is “playing poli-
tics” with defense order: that there
may be a “very ugly” story to tell
about the defense program: that
"capital strikes” may be afoot: that
industry is trying to tie strings to
national defense. And already we
hear some sound-offers asking why,
with billions of dollars already ap-
propriated, hordes of tanks and
planes and guns aren’t rolling off the
assembly lines?
Certainly there is not even a sus-
picion among persons qualified to
know what is going on within the
workings of the defense set-up that
there is any "ugly story” to be told
about manufacturers, or that indus-
trialists are taking advantage of the
program. And to the question of
“Why?” there is a very good answer.
The story of the Garand rifle, said
to be the finest weapon of its type
in the world, is a good example of
the true state of things. Only a
few thousand Garand rifles have
thus far have been produced, al-
though many thousands are provided
for in defense appropriations. Why?
The answer is that as yet army
experts have not see nfit to “freeze”
the design of the gun—meaning that
they are constantly making changes.
So it Is that until the design has
finally been determined, Jigs. dies,
tools and gauges necessary for its
manufacture at high speed cannot
be made. Until then industry’s mass
production methods are useless and
the Garand rifles will continue to be
manufactured by slower processes.
The story has its counterparts in
the question of tanks, planes and
other equipment.
Where, then, would blame rightly
belong If, a year or two from now',
there was still no standardization of
design and no speedy flow of defense
equipment from the production lines
of Industry? Perhaps there would
be no bls, me. rightly, for only the
real military experts are qualified
to know when they have perfected
their designs and can safely "freeze”
them.
In any event, those qualified tc
knew the situation are saying that
there should be no accusing finger
pointed In the direction of produc-
tion lines.

there is still a determination among

Pontiac’s Sales
Top ’28 Record
Bales of new Pontiac cars during
the first 10 day period of July were
6643—breaking a record which has
stood since 1928 and eclipsing the
first 10 days of July, 1939, by 98 per-
cent, D. U. Bathrick. General Sales
Manager of Pontiac Motor Division,
reports.
The 10 day sales total is Just 184
cars less than were sold in the entire
month of July, 1938. Previous high
for the period was 5709 in 1928.
Pontiac's new car inventory stands
at 25,409 while used car operations
continued high with 13,174 sales
against 8504 in the same period last
year. Dealers reported a 28 day
stock of used cars.
“The July figures are gathering
momentum from Pontiac’s June sales
which topped the model year thus
far,” Bathrick said. “The 10 day
June figure is Impressive particu-
larly in view of the long holiday
week-end which took place and the
new excise taxes which went into
effect July 1. With our new car
inventory at 25,409 Pontiac dealers
will reach August 1 with less than a
30 day supply of new cars available.”
