AT' THE' LIBERTY' CVVA MIGHT CONTINUE " The tremendous program o the Civil. Works Administra tion began as a sort of improvisation a happy thought, put into-execution almost on-the spur of the moment, to take as many-Americans as possible off relief roiis and provide, regular- incomes for families.- that needed theiru Before we get' tKi-ough. with it, it may develop easily into an elaborate andi permanent, sot-up designed to take the place of unem- - ployjirent- insurance and to cushion the nation against the shocks-caused by sudden contractions of the industrial sys tem. ' All' this is foreshadowed in a recent statement by; IlajTy M., Hopkins, director of the C. W. A. ' 'Mri Hopkins points out that the experiment officially runs : only to Feb. 15. Under it some 2,500,000' men are at work. Plpbably no. one would propose seriously that the props, be pulled, out fiom under these men in the middle of the winter. Sheer1 force-of circumstances will compel' us to renew the experiment and carry it at least into the spring. N6r Is that all, Mr. Hopkins remarks: "It easily might lead to a scheme . of uslng civil works as a device for permanently providing work on- Im portant public projects for the unemployed. The country Is not going to bo. disposed, kindly, to. unemployment Insurance, In terms of- men. going UP to. o window to get a dole." " And there- Is still another angle to it. The scheme enables: the. nation tir accomplish a lot of Jobs which, ore almost, certain to go undone If left ,tt. private Initiative. The. work of the forest army.- Is a case In points There are many slmllsr projects the drainage . of swamps, the establlslr jmnt of health and recreolon centers, and so on. Now It Is pretty clear that we ate going to need some far-reaching prd 'gram to take caro of unemployment, even after prosperity, returns. We' 'either can give the Jobless work to do, set up a regular unemployment 'Insurance system a dole. In plain English or go back to the old,,, tunsatlsractory method of letting private charity take care of them. One of these three Is going to be with us mora or less, permanently. The civil works scheme seems to look very much like the best of the j:three . alternatives; ' r : John Barrymore, Helen Hayes, Clark Gable, Lionel Barrymore, Robert Montgomery and Myrna Loy form the amazing?? strong multi-star cast which interpret "Night Plight," the new Me tro- Gold vy n -Mayer picture opening Thursday at tlie Liberty the atre. The story is a terrifically powerful tale of flying the mail by night In South America. It was directed by a man who holds a transport pilot's license, Clarence Brown, It Is from the pen of Antoln de Salnt-Exup-ery, a pilot on the very line he writes about. Director Brown says of this tale, " 'Night Flight Is the only real, truly accurate, authentic and human air plane story so far written." The principal characters are John Barrymore, stern, driving manager of the air line; Clark Gable, pilot of the storm-caught plane from Puntas Arenas; Robert Montgomery, pilot of a plane crossing towering mountains; Helen Hayes, fear-ridden wife of Ga ble; Lionel Barrymore, the lumber ing Inspector of airplanes, and Myrna Loy, wife of William Oargan, the pilot of the plane, to Brazil. It u. around' these players that a highly dramatic plot centers.

Two dis tinct advantages result from it: 1. More even compression of fuel, Riving Kill greater power, f nsler acceleration, quicker surling and smoother performance in cold weather. 2. More complete utilization of fuel, more miles to the gallon of gasoline, with consr qtient economy. Crankcase dilution is re dticed to a minimum, thereby conserving oil with still-further economy in operation. Increased efficiency at less cost is a notable achievement. Yet it is only one of many improvements which distin guish this new and greater Ford V-8 for 1934. Clcar-rision Ventilation. Constant Supply of Fresh Air without Drafts or. Obstruction lo View As perfected in the New Ford, this system of ventilation operates efficiently at all speeds, winter or summer. In cold or stormy weather, the new adjustable window ventilators can be opened the desired amount to provide fresh air. Individual control on front door and rcar-quartcr windows enables passengers to obtain desired ventilation without causing discomfort to others. Windshield and windows do not fog when ventilators are opened. In warm weather, the windshield which opens and the cowl ventilator provide additional fresh air. Dual carburetion gives smoother oper ation in all driving ranges from idling to highest top speed NOW ALL ON DISPLAY AT FORD DEALERS 515 UP (P. O. 11. Detroit, plua frtifcbl, tlrlivcry tnil MY.
