OEORGE WASHINGTON'S FAITH
What can we learn from the story
of George Washington as his birth-
day comes around to be observed
I!1" ! more. * . '
There seems no doubt, that had It
"Been^rorthe-^faii
tance of this heroic man, the move-
ment to secure the Independence of
-this country would have soon collap-
sed. Our states would have gone for
many years, possibly until the pre7
aent time, as colonies of a land a-
cross the sea. The difficulties against
which Washington and his little ar-
my contended were so overwhelming
that it took a man of the most ar-
dent courage to hold that force to-
| gether.
The American people were, not all
well united at the time of their Re-
volution/^ the effort to secure In-
dependence. A large section of them
were indifferent or hostile. Many
were satisfied to live under the Eng-
lish King. Many were fearful th£^t it
they took any decided step-to aid the
patriot cause, • their property and
lives might be sacrificed if the col-
onies were subdued.
Only a man of supernormal geniuj
could have kept his faith and qour-
age through such a trial. That Wash-
ington did marks him as one of the
greatest leaders of all time.

Most everyone knows of towns
where bright prospects have failed
to materialize because those com-
munities were divided into factions.
If one element of people wapted to
do a certain thing, others would cri-
ticize and actively oppose it. They
do not like -to see nt that
movement obtain prominence and
put it over. When that spirit gets
a foothold in a town, it's "Good
night" to hopes of progress.
The bright progressive place wilJ
not Colerate that spirit. If anyone
shows a trace of it, he is told to "go
way back and sit down." It is con-
sidered that such sentiments are too
petty and childish to be manifested
by sensible and adult persons. If any
body suggests a good idea, no mat-
ter who it i3, everybody jumps up
and gets busy on it. That kind of
spirit helps any town to grown and
prosper.

The picture is a continuation of
the story of Mr. Sheppard and his

modern agricultural Implements are
made. The picture also takes you out

is declared to- be decidedly worth
while, and suggests many delpful
hints in adding to the economy ahd
satisfaction to be derived from a
tractor. '
The meeting will be in session from
10 a. m. to 5 p. m. on Monday, Fe-
bruary 24, in the John Deere build-

"We Invite every farmer In this
section to be our guest and we parti-
cularly want the boys to come," the
Ford Impleemnt Co. management
stated.
"We are planning to make this a
sociable affair, but at the same time
a very worth while one to farmers
and their families. We are counting
on a big crowd coming in to enjoy
the big day with us."

tionally popular with farmers as evi-
denced by the picture above which

Chevrolet Raises Own
Standard of Industrial
Safety During 1935
Marked advances in industrial safe
ty made during 1935, in the manu-
facturing plants of the Chevrolet
Motor Company, were celebrated on
Monday evening at a dinner In the
Book-Cadillac Hotel,'at which W. J.
Scott, manager of the Chevrolet
Spring and Bumper plant, Detroit,
was awarded a plaque in recognition
of having achieved the greatest im-
provement.
Chevrolet's 24 manufacturing plant
showed an average improvement of
47 per cent, and the record of the
Spring and bumper plants was 81
per cent. The Forge plant, also man-
aged by Scott, was second in the list
with 75 per cent improvement.
The record hung up by the two
plants under Scott's supervision is
considered especially noteworthy, in-
asmuch as one of these units is the
big forge plant, a type of operation
in which industrial safety is reputed-
ly difficult to assure. Figures for tllfe
two divisions of the contest—manu-
facturing plants and assembly plants
—indicate that both made great head
way last year.
Hugh Dean, assistant general ma-
nufacturing manager, acted as toast-
master at the dinner, and speakers
included M. E. Coyle,, president and
general manager, C. E. Watherald.
vice-president and general manufac-
turing manager, in charge of all ma-
nufacturing and assembly operations
and C. E. Wilson, vice-president of
General Motors Corporation.
The manufacturing plants Includ-
ed in the contest are located in De-
troit, Flint, and Bay City, Mich., in
Toledo, O., and In Muncie, Ind. All
these units were represented at the
banquet, It was announced.
