Directors Os Auto Dealers Will Meet Discuss Problems Os Auto Shortage A meeting of the directors of the Automobile Dealers’ Association of Indiana, Inc. with local and district trade organisation presidents present will be held at the French Lick- Springs hotel September 24 to 26. The meeting is being called by Freeman C. Yeager of South Bend, president of the state organization, to discuss means of coping with new problems arising out of the shortage of new cars and the influx of speculative elements which have increased tremendously since the war. Haywood M. Davis, director of the state organization’s fourth district. which includes this county, states that the responsibilities of the legitimate new car dealers have been heavily increased during these times. He states that it is well known that the vast majority of enfranchised dealers are striving desperately to be fair and reasonable in both the delivery of new cars and the trade-in allowance of used cars. Because of shortages and strike interruptions production has not yet reached pre-war levels. Mr. Davis says that new cars would be equally as prevalent in new car dealers’ stocks as they are among used car dealers’ stocks if new car dealers were asking the same inflated price for new cars as many used car dealers are asking for 1946 and 1947 models. In addition to the moral responsibility of dealers to their customers, factories too are interested in rectification of the present unsatisfactory conditions as factors contributing to greater public acceptance of their product.

Though no legislation is being sought presently a review of legislative possibilities to protect the public interest in the purchase of new cars will be made. Public interest is definitely in jeopardy when new cars are sold by unauthorized agents who have no franchise or responsibility to fulfill the obligations under the manufacturer’s warranty. Other subjects which will be considered at the meeting are Safety and the possibility of compulsory inspections. Because the accident rate of teen-agers is larger than

all other groups combined it is recognized that driving courses on the high school curriculum would materially aid in furthering safety on the highways.

Frostless Weather Is Needed By Corn Three Frost Free Weeks Are Needed Washington, Sept. 17.—(UP)— The nation’s corn crop needs at least three more frost free weeks despite definite improvement in the crop prospects during the past week, the weather bureau said today. The bureau said the crop is making “generally good progress” after a disastrous midseason drought. Rains last week in some sections of the main corn belt, .particularly in Nebraska and Missouri, helped the crop considerably. In some sections of the eastern part of the corn belt, notably Indiana, there has been too much rain, however, and dry weather and hot sunshiney days are needed to mature the crop. There no longer is much hope that the crop will produce more than the 2,404,000,000 bushels estimated by the agriculture department on Sept. 1. Growing conditions during the next few weeks will affect the quality of the corn. “The bulk of the crop will be safe from frost in about three weeks.” the bureau said. It said progress of the crop in lowa is extremely uneven, however, and that short, stunted ears are found in the same fields with well developed mature corn. Agriculture department experts estimate that at least 40 perdent of the crop would be damaged if frost came -a week early. This would mean “soft” corn which has less feeding value.

Warns Wheat Is In Damaged Condition Indianapolis, Sept. 17 —(UP) — The Indiana grain co-op warned Hoosier wheat growers today that much grain is coming to market in a dartnaged condition. "Farmers may lose many dollars before they realize their wheat is going out of condition.” Leo Patrick, co-op administrative assistant, said. Patrick revealed that some cars of wheat received at the co-op's terminal elevator in Indianapolis in the last few days have contained as much as 14 to 20 percent damaged grain. He explained that
