- Automobiles - March 2, 1920. Dear Sir —Haven’t you often stopped to look as a particularly graceful car swung by? There was nothing radically different in its appearance from any other car. It was not a freak. Yet it held your attention. You admired its long limes, its gently rhythmic purring motor, the apparent ease wita which it turned and rolled by. And as it came near, you saw from its white triangle that it, was the Hudson Super-Six—the car that holds all the worth while records for speed, endurance and hill climbing. Why did the SuperSix hold your attention? Because it combines the artistry of the architect with the technical efficiency of the engineer in complete unity. Because the Super-Six is creative, and therefore new and different without being radical. The Super-Six is always a new model. It originates motor styles. The Super-Six has the Individuality that always goes with initiative and added to that it has perfect mechanical poise. That is why people stop to look at the SuperSix. Won’t you come in and get a closer view of the details of its construction? It ie a delight to explain the many Individual advantages of the Hudson Super-Six. Very truly yours, HUGH KIRK.

REAL COMMUNITY BUILDING Consider the tumbleweed and the oak. For a season the tumbleweed grows green. It flourishes in spring and summer. Then come the fall and the early gales of winter. What of the tumbleweed? Hither and yon it flies across the prairies, the sport of every vagrant breeze. No wind is too light to stir it, no obstruction too small to halt it. But, does the oak go swirling around, a moving part of the autumnal landscape? Not that any one has noticed. The oak stays put. It roots deep in the soil. It is a member of a colony of oaks that have grown up together, that have weathered the winds of winter together. The tumbleweed serves a purpose if it calls attention to the permanence of the oak, and if it drives home the fact that the practice of rooting deep into the soil has its virtues. In these times there seem to be a great many men of the tumbleweed variety being swept hither and thither. There are so many tumbleweeds scurrying about that the oaks may' be overlooked. Start to count them though and there are plenty of oaks —men who have struck meir roots deep into their home soil.. One of the present day problems is whether it is worth while to attempt the task of increasing the number of oaks and decreasing the number of tumbleweeds. The first thing to be noticed about the oak is that it is of slow growth. It does not spring up in a day. The next thing is that it establishes itself by taking root. Community building is oak growing. Raising colonies of tumbleweeds will not do the tnck. . Before men begin to root deeply in a community they must have an abiding interest in it. That community must be more than a chance fence comer into which they have been whirled. Too many communities are simply stopping places for the people that live in them. In driving home the fact that community building brought about by a real community life is a constructive work, the present day. Community Service movement has performed a distinct service. Community building means more oaks. A lack of it means more tumble weeds. /
