Students at the Rouge Prepare for Defense Jobs
VITAMINS VITALLY
AFFECT EYESIGHT
DEARBORN, Mich.—When the
average person visualizes a big
industrial plant, he (or she) usu-
ally views it in terms of miracu-
lous operations done by mechanical
marvels. Few think of a factory
as a “school house,” yet the vast
Ford Rouge plant has an indus-
trial school system comparable in
size to a large university.
With the opening this year of
two important new units, the
Ford school system now enrolls
nearly 10,000 students. Latest ad-
ditions are an aircraft apprentice
school and a U. S. Navy Service
school to train Uncle Sam’s blue-
jackets.
Henry Ford started a school
system in his automobile factories
25 years ago when he foresaw a
future need for skilled manpower
in industry. This foresight now is
expected to go a long way toward
solving his need for skilled hands
in filling more than $700,000,000 in
national defense orders.
Ford training facilities have
grown in the past year to become
the largest of their kind in the
world. Space within the 1,200-acre
Rouge plant devoted exclusively
to classrooms, laboratories and
school shops has been increased
from three to five acres. One hun-
dred instructors have been added.
In the new aircraft apprentice
school, youths are being trained in
machine shop, assembly, disas-
sembly, inspection and testing of
the Pratt & Whitney airplane en-
gine which Ford is building for
the U.S. Army. The school is
located in the front portion of the
new $27,000,000 airplane engine
plant on the Rouge grounds.
Another unique Ford school pro-
ject linked closely to national de-
fense is the Navy Service School.
Costing around $1,000,000, this
school was provided and equipped
through the Ford Motor Company,
at no expense to the government.
The first sections were erected in
the record time of 40 days.
A warning to parents to be cer-
tain their children are getting
plenty of vitamins is being voiced
by Dosca Hale, specialist in par-
ent education and child develop-
ment. She says when a child goes
without the right food for too
long the lens of the eye may cloud
over, and blindness result.
The specialist tells this story.
Some woried parents recently had
their five-year-old child’s eyes ex-
amined. The child had complained
that his eyes itched and burned,
and the parents had observed his
eyes were sensitive to light. They
thought he needed glasses. In-
stead of putting glasses on him
the doctor gave the child a big
idose of vitamins and put. him on
a diet which was exceptionally
rich in vitamins.
“Vitamins keep eyes seeing well,
and feeling Avell,” the doctor said.
“We know of nothing else that
will do this.”
This is the diet he recommend-
ed :
A quart of milk every day, an
egg a day, a serving of whole
grain cereal every day, plenty of
fresh green and! yellow vegeta-
bles every day, yellow fruit or
tomatoes every day, and some liv-
er, fish, and other meats several
times each Aveek.
Here are some other facts the
doctor gave these parents:
Some children “pile” sugar on
their food. Too much sugar dulls
the appetite for other foods and
may blur the eyesight or injure
the health. Too much sugar may
do damage. Rats living on food
containing too much of a certain
kind of sugar always develop cat-
aracts on their eyes. Cataracts
are common among people with
diabetes.
BANKS ARE DOING
IMPORTANT JOB
Two students in the Ford aircraft apprentice school (top photo) learn
to operate a test cell panel used in checking newly built airplane
engines. The instructor, with hand on the engine controls, explains the
test instrument readings. In the photo above, carefree recruit sailors
attending the Ford Navy Service School march across the Rouge plant
grounds to their cantonment after the day’s classes end.
WHEAT GROWERS TO
TO VOTE NEXT YEAR
1942 WHEAT
INSURANCE EXPLAINED
Carson county wheat groAvers
will vote in a national referendum
before June 10, 1942, to determine
whether they Avail t to continue
marketing quotas, according to
John W. Gamble, secretary of the
Carson county AAA committee.
The announcement, Avhich Avas
made several days ago by Secre-
tary of Agriculture Claude, R.
Wickard, gives farmers sufficient
time to plan their 1942 plantings.
According to the AAA act, a
proclamation must be made prior
to May 15 of any marketing year
when it appears the Avheat sup^
ply will exceed a normal year’s
domestic consumption and ex-
ports by more than 35 per cent.
The referendum must be approved
by two-thirds of the farmers vot-
ing before quotas are in effect for
this year’s crop.
, “The carry-over Ave will have
on hand July 1, 1942, will be one
of the largest on record since our
exports have been reduced and Ave
are harvesting above-normal yield
this year,” the AAA official ex-
plained1.
Wheat quotas, in effect for the
first time this year, were ap-
proved recently by 94 per cent
vote in Texas. Carson county
wheat growers approved quotas by
99% per cent favorable vote.
Since marketing quotas protect
loan collateral, a government loan
would not be made on the 1942
crop if quotas Avere voted down.
Loans at 85 per cent of parity are
in effect on the 1941 crop be-
cause quotas were approved.
The purpose of wheat market-
ing quotas is to divide a limited
wheat market equally among pro-
ducers. Farmers planting within
their allotments are called upon
to adjust marketings.
The marketing penalty on ex-
cess wheat this year amounts to
50 per cent of the basic loan rate.
Since the national average loan
rate is 98 cents, the penalty on
jxcesa wheat is 49 cents,
Instead of asking for the cash
equivalent, approximately 70 per
cent of insured Texas Avheat far-
mers are using theis certificates
of indemnity as collateral for gov-
ernment loans, according to P. C.
Colgin, state loan supervisor of"
the AAA.
In taking the loan, farmers are
not only receiving better prices,
but by retaining possession of the
Avheat they Avill be able to take ad-
vantage of the market in case
prices advance, Colgin explained.
Certificates of indemnity or the
cash equivalent are paid farmers
at the time the total or partial
loss of the insured Avheat is de-
termined.
To date, 3,340 claims have been
paid on 217,175 acres Avith an in-
sured production of 1,063,947
bushels. A total of 11,040 farms
and 4,943,435 bushels Avere in-
sured for the 1941 crop.
All-risk insurance policies for
1942 have already been made on
1,500 Avheat farms representing
1,200 'operators and OAvners and
covering production of 84,000
acres. Applications wil be taken
until Aug. 30 or until the time
Avheat is seeded, whichever date
is earlier. Hazards covered by “But Iioav did you do it?’
what insurance include losses by queried Hitler.
hail, Avind, rain, fire, insects,
drouth, Avinterkill, rust, floods,
and crop failure, the AAA official
said.
Provisions of the 1942 loan pro-
gram specify that in order for
OAvners and operators to insure
wheat on one farm, they must in-
sure all wheat crops in Avhich they
have an interest. Regardless of
the number of farms insured, only
one application is necessary.
When a groAver applies for in-
surance this year,. Colgin pointed
out, he will sign a commodity
'note Avhich authorizes the Federal
Crop Insurance corporation to de-
duct the amount of the premium
from indemnities which might be
paid, or from wheat loans, or AA\
payments, whichever is made
first. The notes, Avhich will ma-
ture about the time indemnities
are usually paid, are made in cash
equivalent of the premium.
If a producer elects to pay his
note before maturity, it may be
paid either in the cash equivalent
of Avheat based on market prices
the day the premium is paid, or in
bushels of wheat. If the premium
is paid by the producer after ma-
turity, he Avill be required to pay
in the cash equivalent based on
the market price of Avheat on the
date the premium Avas. due.
Insurance coverage may be
either 50 or 75 per cent of the
normal yield on the farm, but the
75 per cent coverage is proving
popular Avith Texas Avheat far-
mers, Colgin said.
Try and Get It!
The banks of this country are
doing a mighty important job on
behalf of national defense. Sec-
retary of the Treasury Morgen-
thau recently testified to that in
a radio speech.
Discussing the sale of Defense
Bonds, the secretary said:
“I should like to tell the bank-
ers of America that I appreciate
-what they have done. The results
could not possibly have been so
successful if the bankers had not
put their shoulders to the Avheel.”
The bankers are doing every-
thing possible to promote the sale
o-fHhese bonds—without a dime of
profit to theihselves—because they
know that it is necesary for the
public to noAV meet as large a por-
tion as possible of the cost of de-
fense if ruinous inflation, debt,
and taxation are to be avoided.
And the banks are carving on
other big defense tasks. They are
providing capital for industiial ex-
pansion. They are Avorking to per-
fect the system of subcontracts in
arms production. They are mak-
ing surveys of industrial possi-
bilities of' their respective terri-
torics.
America faces a crisis, and the
American bankers have rolled up
their slee\Tes and plunged into the
Avork of making this country se-
cure.
One day recently, Hitler showed
up at the Pearly Gate and told
St. Peter he desired/ to have a
Avord with Moses. St. Peter shoAV-
ed some misgivings, but as usual,
Hitler had his Avay. When Moses
was brought out, Adolf said he
wanted to knoAV more about that
storied crossing of the Red Sea.
“Yes, it’s true,” Moses as-
sured him.
“Oh, I had a wand Avhich I
waved over the Avaters,” said
Moses, “and they separated.”
“[Now, Moses,” asked the Fueh-
rer eagerly, “just Avhere is that
wand ? ”
“In the British museum,” was
the reply.

Timothy—Hoav is your garden

Ha ye—My cutworms and bee-
tles were never better, but my po-
tato bugs look undernourished! for
some reason.”
The 160 national forests include
nearly one-tenth of the land area
of the United States.
A selectee wearing size 14
shoes Avas inducted into the army.
One day at camp his commanding
officer missed him, and asked:
“Has anybody seen Private Draf-
tee?”
And from the rear of the com-
pany came the. ansAver: “Yes, sir;
he has gone over to the next cross-
roads to turn around.”
Bad For the Onions
There Avas an old farmer named
Munions,
Whose corn tangled1 up Avith bun-
ions.
He raised nice potatoes,
But slipped on tomatoes,
And fell doAvn bad on his onions.
Fashion Joins the via
The First “V for Victory” Dress
Now the first “V For Victory”
dress joins up with the wild-fire
“V” campaign launched by Prime
Minister Churchill. Millions of wo-
men all over the unoccupied world
will soon be making and wearing
this new “V” dress designed by the
Simplicity Pattern Company of
New York. Patterns for the “V”
dress are on their way to 7,500
stores across the United States.
More, with sewing instructions in
Spanish, are winging their way to
department stores in the 21 Latin
American republics. Others are
bound for England and Australia.
Miss Josephine Johnson, 1940
glamour debutante, chose this ver-
sion of the “V” dress, made up in
light grey wool. It has V-shaped
shoulder sections outlined in bold
red applique, V-shaped pocket
flaps embroidered with the open-
ing notes of Beethoven’s Fifth
Symphony — three long and one
short, the equivalent of the gallant
letter “V” in Morse code.
After Church
. . . The preacher finished his
sermon Avith “All liquor should be
throAvn in the river,” and the
choir ended by singing “Shallwe
Gather At the River?”
A Logical Inference
Recently a public school teacher
Avrote the sentence, ‘ ‘ Them boys
are sliding doAvn hill,” and re-
quested someone in the school to
“correct and Avhy.” One bright
youngster held up his hand1 and,
on being asked, said:
“Correct. Them boys are slid-
ing doAvn hill. Why? Because
they can not slide up.”
From the Frying Pan
The governor of the state one
day appeared before the convicts
at the state prison to make a
speech. Forgetting his audience,
he began in the usual manner:
“FelloAv Citizens”—a murmur of
laughter ran about the hall. The
governor became confused, and
began : ‘ ‘ FelloAV Conyicts ’ ’—the
laughter increased. “Oh, you
knoAV AA*hat I mean,” he stam-
mered. “I mean I’m glad to see
so many of you here, ’ ’ Uproar,
