A SERMON
The daffodils arc growing on the hillside.
The Ice has left the pretty brooklet's edge
And long I've seen the crocus in the meadow
And May flowers peep from 'neath a rocky
ledge.
The robins trill a lovely song of mating.
The tanager has come with scarlet coat
And I have seen the rabbit In the wheat field
I saw a gray squirrel chattering In the moat.
The signs of early spring are in the valley
Though mountains still are wearing caps of
snow, '
The lakes are lovely in this early springtime
And nature all Is bathed in sunlight's glow.
And In the rocks and moss and early gardens.
In lakes and rivers, mountains, vales and
seas,
I think I hear a sermon of the Master
That says, "My voice Is heard In all of these."

Knee Action Liars!
By R. W. Martland, Jr.
When four wheel brakes were introduced some years ago an obstinate
automobile manufacturer presistently ridiculed the idea that four wheel
brakes were desirable. This short sighted manufacturer spent thousands
of dollars in newspapers and magazines advertising the fact that his com
pany would not adopt the equipment until it was "perfected."
In due course of time the manufacturer "perfected" a four wheel brake.
It lasted exactly a year and was the most miserable makeshift ever de
vised for an automobile. Meanwhile a sniall coterie of unscrupulous
dealers, guided by none too scrupulous factory representatives, fabricated
stories of serious accidents which were happening to cars equipped with
four wheel brakes of more conventional design.
Naturally, Abraham Lincoln's famous adage about fooling some of the
people some of the time came into play; with the result that the obstinate
manufacturer, despite the convincing facts" of his propaganda, experienced
inglorious defeat at the hands of the American public. expenencea
Recurrence of this type of despicable propaganda is now taking place
in connection with knee action front wheel suspension. Insidious rumors
concerning failure of knee action mechanisms are now going the rounds
on every automobile row. No car equipped with this 1934 feature is ex
empt from the calumny that is broadcast by tongues which drip with
competitive venom. ' p
What are the facts?
The editorial staff 'of this publication has investigated innumerable
accidents alleged to have been caused by failure of knee action parts
Careful checks have been made with eye-witnesses, highway patrolmen
and garages to learn the true facts. To date there is not one scintilla
of evidence to substantiate the allegation that any type of knee act on
design, or the steering mechanism connected with this design, has even
remotely contributed to an accident. .
The whole source of these mythical catastrophes seems to spring from
misguided salesmen (possibly they are downright malicious) whose
are not equipped with knee action. The pincof con peUt on dead y
a connjetiio": Se?mS UP 3 W'e thatTnn n'y vent 'tse,f knocking
Every indication points to the conclusion that knee action rumors ire
byproducts of soreheadedness. bull headness and out and out liars?
Ask 1934 Chevrolet owners about CHSVR0LET fully enclosed knee action.
