Ojhat is the chance that is open to us now. I We are being asked to submerge selfish interests for the common' good; to be Americans first and self-seeking in dividuals later: to stand united for the sake of those fellow i xjtizens who' have not yet had a fair break. This brings us n great challenge and a great opportunity.

THE OPEN 7 COURT CORRESPONDENTS' M TJ 8 T SUBMIT Til Kilt NAMliS TO THE EDITOR IF THEY DE SIRE LETTERS PRINTED, La Orande. Ore. I note In Mr. OrUfln'a article of July 28th In tho Open Court he calls attention to what tho street car men did ln Portland some time ngo. I do hot subscribe to tho share the wori idea. I have never advocated a Blprtcr day with a cut In pay and do not now. A railway schedule of pay j reads "One hundred miles or less,' live hours or Iras, shall consti tute a days work." The less In both cases Is paid 100 miles, and It alio take a full 8 hours to be a 100 mller. If you make more than a hundred miles you get extra pay for extra miles run; If you work oy, 8 hours jrou get time and one-half time for all time worked over 8 hours, but tho Brothers want moro tnnn this, they want Rnd get asoo miles per month In freight wrvlcc nnd 4800 In passenger service nnd this is not enough, they take more, as high as 4000tm freight. I notice as high as 2400 miles made the first half of July, this Is more than should be allowed m a full month, I do not believe In cutting any mans pay r day. - But I do believe it's timo to take the racket out of the railway brotherhood!, as racket this blc mlleae.o Is. No doubt Gen. Hugh Johnson has something up his alceve In regard to this, us he has staled no racketeering would be allowed by employer or employe. 1 am sure an N. R. A. banner would look line floating over the "doc house'' anil in a short time most all the brothers would be proud of it. But weigh yes Juntly and stint not the balance. S. T.

Residence Delivery Our Specials Dependable Service Warehouse on N. Spruce Open Until 1:30 Kwnlngs UNTIL WE LEARNED BETTER But the state of the art Until we learned better, we used to mix wood and steel in our car bodies'and wheels. It was the best way to make bodies then. has advanced. Of course, it is more expensive to make an all-steel body than to make a wooden frame and nail steel panels on to it. The better way in volves an initial expenditure of several millions of dollars for new dies, which renders a change very costly. Cars, especially large expensive cars which are produced in small volume, cannot afford this, because the dies cost as much for one car as for a million. That alone explains why all steel bodies are not used in all cars." But our basic policy from the beginning is to make a good car better, regardless of cost. For example, when we discarded wood-steel body construction, it was not because we lacked wood. We still have some thousands of acres of the best hard wood in America. Economy would urge us to use up the wood firsthand then adopt the better all-steel body. But we decided that quality was more important than expense. Ke weighed the reasons, for and against, before we made the change. Ke could see only one reason for retaining a mixed wood-and-steel body nailing the metal on, instead of welding an all-steel body into a strong one-piece whole. That reason was, it would be cheaperfor us. Our reasons for adopting an all-steel body were these: A wood-steel body is not much stronger structurally than its wooden frame. In all American climates, wood construction weakens with age. Every used car lot gives evidence of this. Rain seeps in between joints and the wood decays. A car may have a metal surface, and yet not be of steel construction. Under extreme shock or stress the steel body remains intact dented per haps, but not crushed. . Steel does not need wood for strength or protection. Wood is fine for furniture, but not for the high speed vehicles of 1933. In the Ford body there are no joints to squeak, no seams to crack or leak. The all-steel body is more expensive to us, but not to you. By all odds, then, steel bodies seem preferable. Wheels also have become all-steel. No one argues that an electrically, welded one-piece steel wheel, such as the Ford wheel, needs to be "strengthened" by adding wood to it. . The one-piece all-steel body is the strongest, safest, quietest. mo3t durable body made. That is our only reason for making them.
