Wartime drivers find Studebaker the ideal economy car

"rXERENDABLE transportation means ■L/ more than ever these days to busy wartime drivers. Here's what a big-city physician, name on request, recently said: “In my general practice, I can always count on my Studebaker these war days for reliable, low-cost performance.” That doctor is one of many hard-working civilians who are getting exceptional tire, gas and maintenance economy from their Studebaker Champions, Commanders and Presidents. In fact, today, after well over two years of war, hundreds of thousands of essential motorists from coast to coast are still enjoying dependable transportation at low cost, thanks to the quality of Studebaker craftsmanship and the advanced principles of Studebaker engineering. \V t; IK IK

.. and I often think of Elm Street”

“• . . I'm a long way trout home out here, and when I'm alone at night, Had, I often think ot Klin Street with its log trees, its neat houses, the bells on a quiet Sunday morning—and all of us coining iu town for church. It's the |>care and freedom an.', decency of it all that gets under my skin—and It makes me a bit homesick now and '.lien. I here's notliing like Klin street over here— u.>! never will lie till they change their system. “The trouble lies with the men who rule—and with tile people who let them get away with it. “Over here the wrong men have been nmiiiiig tilings too long. I liey have liccn rra/.y with ^ power. They gradually took over more and more, and when the |ico|de finally woko up—It was too late. These folks can't throw out their officials the way we can. They have to have a war to gel rid of their so-called 'new opfer*. I hank God we can still put the men vve want Into office—and throw them out again with ballots instead of bullets “This mess is a fine example uf what dictatorship amt regimentation ran do when they reully get going. And talk about bureaucrats

You just take orders—anj like it. “We ordinary folks at home always had a feeling ot >nde|M-ndenee mid self res|)oet. You and Mom were always looking ahead to better things—for >ourselves and for us kids. That sort of tiling is missing here, Had—and I think it's the result ot years of lieiiig pushed aroiinl. These folks have been told what to do and when and how to do it for so long that they don't know anything else. They’ve forgotten how to think lor themselves. “Don’t let this system get a toe liolj at home, Had. It s had stutt. And the trouble is, it sneaks up on you. You don’t realize hint it's got you till it’s almost too late. “I think most American farmers are just like us—plain, praetieal, hard working, thrifty peopk—blessed with a lot of good eonunon sense. Most of us aren't very strong for fancy political theories. We know by exjicrleiice that the American way of getting things done, even with its short-comings, has brought more real laippiness, prosperity, progress, educa-

tion, health luitl general good to more |M>opls than any other system in the world. "And that's somethin^ to think about * * * Millions of American hoys from farms and villages are doing a lot of thihieing. 'They are writing home anxiously thesv- days. Ma.ny of them are worried—wondering what is happening to America while they are away. They realize now. more than ever, what real freedom means and we at home must guard it for them as well as for ourselves.

(HI, SUBSIDY PROGRAM

WASHINGTON, March 14 (UP) The office of price administration this week will recommend a $50,000,000 to $75,000,000 a year subsidy program to encourage continued proI duction from "stripper” oil wells unable to operate under present ceiling prices, it was learned today. Sumner Pike, OPA fuel price director, said the program, under study for two months, would be formally presented to stabilization director Fred M. Vinson within a few

days.

Under the program, present ceiling prices for oil woukl not be changed but operators of low-yield stripper vwlls would have their higher operuting costs covered by receiving government premiums based on percentages of the present ceilings. Similar subsidies already are being paid producers of copper and other vital war

materials.

Pike said the scale of percentages lor premiums had not been completed but that they would be “somewhere on the lines of those mentioned yesterday by Rep. Leon H. Gavin, R Pa. —30 per cent over ceiling strippers producing five barrels less per day; 20 per cent for six barrels; and 10 per cent for seven bar-

rels.
