Riley and City Hospitals are to receive the largest shares of the proceeds. The remainder is to be given the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. Governor Townsend, who with a party of civic and political leaders attended each ball, thanked dancers for their support. The crowd at the Elks dance at Hotel Antlers was so large that the grand march had to be canceled, officials said.

"POCKET PIECES"

Some folks wear their falde teeth in their pocket—claim they fit better that way. We try to make them fit the mouth; however, wq may have, unknowingly, turned out a few “pocket pieces” ourselves. We are not infallible—who is?

ON’T you make the mistake of thinking that this “‘recession’’ or anything else can stop your country’s onward march!

Something deep-rooted and changeless in our national character is competently on guard against that.

We mean the American heritage of enterprise —our bred-in-the-bone belief in more things for more people as the key to plenty—our will and skillto make things cheaper and better.

Increased wages, shorter hours, unless offset by increased productivity, is deflationary —it means less ior all, especially those who have the least.

The automotive industry has been an outstanding exponent of the principle of capitalizing technological advances.

This has made possible a continuous advance in real wages, over the years, and at the same time a reduction in real prices, the lower priced car of today being equal in size and horsepower to the higher priced car of ten years ago.

Typifying this in dramatic fashion is the new General Motors factory just dedicated in Detroit, for the mass production of new-type Diesel engines.

New 1938 Materials

% RAYON CREPES % Rayon Matelasse Weaves % RAYON GAMSAS % RAYON FAILLES % RAYON RASHAS % RAYON CYNARAS % RAYON PRINTS % LIGHT WEIGHT FLANNELS

In this process volume is stimulated, resulting over the years in more jobs at higher wages for more workers.

In this plant, GM will produce ‘‘packaged power’ units, stationary and portable, for all purposes.

Applying to engines as small as 22 horsepower the engineering principles developed in the powerful Diesel locomotives that speed the modern high - utility streamline trains, we foresee the opening of vast new fields of usefulness on land, sea and in the air.

The press everywhere hails the significance of thus making limitless economical power available to the economic benefit of the whole people.

General Motors, for example, invests each year tens of millions of dollars in new methods and new equipment, as the real approach toward constantly better values, better jobs and better living for all.

PROGRESS ON THE AMERICAN PLAN Over the years wages to the automotive worker have gone up ond car prices have gone down

from 1925 to 1937 Automotive Hourly Wages Went Up 18% Awtomotive Prices Came Down 45%

There may be halts, there may be setbacks, there may be temporary ““recessions,’’ but the instinct of American industry is progress.

Today in a thousand research laboratories throughout the land, bubbling in retorts and fermenting in bold American brains, are the secrets and means to meet the needs and capitalize the possibilities of the future.

Inspiring as these possibilities are, they are most important not in themselves butbecause theyare illustrative of the great principle involved, the principle underlying American achievement.

Here is being evolved the real surety of America’s tomorrow, expressed through the fruitful formula of more and better things at lower prices for more people everywhere.

Automotive hourly wages from U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Automotive prices from Automobile Manufacturers Association. Computed prices per pound based on the average list prices of the lowest priced S-passenger closed model of each make weighted by the relative new car registrations of each make.

American industry has been abie to produce a standard of living never before attained by any people in history, to keep on raising wages and lowering prices, by promoting and capitalizing technological progress. 2

This is our national genius, has been our special strength — remains our reliable hope. Chairman 5 : i 3 - h - ik fi

By this is meant the application of science to industry’s problems—new things to make, better ways of making present things, lowering costs to put more things within reach of more people—thus increasing work and creating additional national wealth. Such is the sound approach to the great national problem of unemployment, and a great opportunity as well.
