The Golden Rule W e strive to measure our service in every detail by the Golden Rule Phone 208 F When no one in this town squab bles with anyone else in town for the period of a year I think it is safe to predict that the world can from then look forward to lasting peace. For most o f the causes of war if reduced to simplest terms grow out o f the same kind of ill temper, poor &pkM'tsmaJnshiii>^ misundertanding, greediness and bullying which mokes neighbors stop speaking, wives and husbands seek divorce and boys start swinging at another’s jaw. Nations have the same characteris tics as the people (who make up those nations. So long as people are impa tient .easily angered .quick to jump at wrong conclusions and anxious to get revenge nations will continue to play those same roles. Ignoring for the moment the is sues of this war or any other war there is little doubt that the perma nent of the war awaits the time when all people will live according to the commandment “ Love thy neighbor. ’ How can we expect nations to re main at peace as long as many o f us are unable to solve the petty prob lems of keeping peoce in our homes, our towns and among rival groups in our own nation.

All five ships o f the Ford ocean fleet on defense duty for the U ,S. maritime commission are the East Indian, Oneida, Onondagw, Lake Or- moc and Lake Osweya. Some of these boats already have made trips to Ice land this year. They are manned by Ford crews. Five other Ford boats are schedul. ed for defense hauling along the eos- tern seaboard. They are tthe motor- ships Noifolk and Green Island ,two o f the four 300-foot canal boats built for Ford in recent years; the tug Humrick; and the barges Lake Fru- ment and Lake Farge both 250-foot cargo vessels which served as steam ers in trans.Atlantic service during the first World-War. These vessels ordinarily are used to transport raw materials and man ufactured parts to and from their home port at the Ford Rouge plant. They were released for coastwise ser vice by the company to help ease the big defense shipping problem fac ed by the maritime commission. Al though they will receive their ship ping orders from the commission the vessels will be manned by ford crews. The East Indian largest of the Ford ocean-going ships is 461 feet lonlg and displaces 8159 tons. The On_ eida was the first vessel of the Ford fleet to make a trip to Europe. Ford officials said the cargo to be hauled by the five coastwise ships iwill consist largely o f manganese ore, sulphur and other raw materials vital to defense industries. The vessels will play between ports on the Atlantic coast, Gulf coast and the Caribbean sea. The new assignments fo r the Lake Frumet and Lake Farge recall their origin during the first World War. They were among the 300 light stea mers built in 1917 and 1918 for the maritime commission to transport food and war supplies to the Allies in Europe. After the Armistice Henry Ford bought more than 100 o f the stea mers scrapping most of them for sal vage iron to be used in automotive manufacturing. Engines and machin ery were removed from others, the Larke Farge and Lake Frumet nclud- ed and these vessels were converted nto towing barges during the early 20’s. They have been in service ever since. 1 Orchard Ridge Dairy. Refrigerator cooling system, good cold milk, but ter and cream the Whole year round — Oscar Judd. Is Your Car Ready Winter ?
