Mich., Oct. 25—(UP)— Edsel Ford predicted today that production at the Ford plant for 1939 wll Ishow a 50 per cent increase over 1935. Joining with his father, Henry Ford, in forcastlng a long business upturn, he estimated as the company's 1939 line was previewed by the press that output for this year throughout the industry would far exceed that ot last year. "I predict that Ford production will be 50 per cent greater than last year,” Edsel Ford said. He added that his prediction was a maixmum estimation and that the total might not be that high. Henry Ford, reiterating his back-to-the-farm theory as the solution to business woes, said he believed conditions "definitely are getting better.” "People are becoming tired of 'isms' and experiments.” he said. "Times are getting better because people are beginning to realize that agriculture aud industry must work hand in hand.” Ford took obvious pride in the five lines of new automobiles displayed at the Ford Rotunda. He said they were the “best cars the Ford company has turned out.” o TEACHERS TAKE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) at 2 o'clock at radio station WOWO.

party," Knowles said. "The answer is: because of its vulnerability. “Most of the crops are highly perishable in nature and must be harvested and disposed of without delay, or they will become a total loss. ‘'California agriculture supplies approximately 40 per cent of all the fresh and preserved fruits and vegetables consumed in the United States, and failure of the crops—due to inability to harvest them — would endanger the food supply of the nation, resulting in widespread suffering and exorbitant prices, thus carrying out the program of the communist international.” o State To Cooperate In M age-Hour Acts Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 25 —(UP) —Gov.
