Complaints record such charges as drunk and disorderly, drunkeness, drunk on the highway or in public places, drunken driving, fighting and family disturbances; all of which could have been avoided with the non-use or more discrete use of intoxicating liquor. Neighborhood quarrels in camp life, unpaid bills, petty trials in court are often traceable to a squander of pay checks. Domestic infelicities often drag them selves into court which becomes a confessor for grief stricken women and men with revelation • f the plight of unfortunate children. Many such evils of society start and grow assiduously in the man who thinks he must indulge frequently at the flowing bowl. We complain at the rising costs of taxes, but few think how much these indulgences lead to common crimes and cost to the general taxpayer. We witness the small army of sheriffs, deputies, state police, city marshals, constables, justices of the peace and circuit judges, along with mileage charges, jail maintenance, feeding of stricken or deserted fam- ilies which add to our tax burdens. A large part of the work of these is attributable to excessive use of strong drink, most of which might be avoided by better restrictions by authorities, and a more decent respect by the individual for himself and his family. These remarks are not the beginning of a cam paign against the use of intoxicants. They are mere ly observations of daily occurrences that might be well to think about. Unless such indulgences are more restrained history can repeat itself in the events that followed the excesses of the old saloon days a quarter of a century ago. This is merely a stop, look and listen sign that is indicated on the streets, in the courts, and in looseness of thinking as to the verities of good living.

Adv.) years before this had begun research on tungsten-carbide and foresaw its importance in industrial production. For immediate use in its ow n plants and for easier availability to others, General Electric undertook the long and arduous negotiations for the American rights. Limited rights were obtained in 1928, with Krupp continuing to export the mate rial to its United States customers a busi ness which languished, however, as General Electric painstakingly developed its own Carboloy technique. This paved the way for General Electric to make the United States entirely independent of Germany for its cemented tungsten-carbide supply as early as 1936. American Tool Costs Half That of German . . . From the start, two totally different busi nesses were involved Krupp originally ex ported cemented carbides in chunks—and was unsuccessful'. General Electric—and its subsidiary, Carboloy Co., Inc.—found it necessary to develop a complete engineering and manufacturing service, making various types of Carboloy equipped tools, training men in their use, and offering to its customers a specialized and successful production tech nique. For purposes of fair comparison, a typical German cemented carbide tool in 1928 cost $22.26 in the United States, while a comparable American Carboloy tool cost $11.11. loss to General Electric for Many Years—Art Taught to Industry ... In times of peace— and 1928 was such a time—the measure of success of industrial adventure is to be found in profit to the adventurer. By such a measure, Carboloy could not be called successful. Initial expenses were great. For a time the Company lost at the rate of $1000 a day, and once had an operating deficit of more than a million dollars." One of the major contributing reasons was the continuing high cost of development, standardization, and training. In 1936-37 alone, training courses were given to 10,000 men in industry. More over, six major price reductions were made in the face of operating losses, until the stand ard tool blank had been reduced in price 90 per cent. Faith and Perseverance ... Depression was still another reason -labor-saving tools could not be sold to industry or labor at any price. But General Electric, w ith determ ina tion that now seems providential, kept on—increasing its *Oier the entire period of U> existence up to January /¡t, the total net profit of the Carboloy Company was 2.5 per cent of sales. capacity, granting new licenses, condoning instances of unlicensed production, staying ahead of its market. * Production Multiplied Forty-five Times in Four Years . .. Cemented tungsten-carbide could easily have been a source of weakness here, as it was in England, had it not been for Gen eral Electric's policy of continued expansion. In 1939, the production of the Carboloy Company was less than 20,000 lbs.; in 1940, it was 5 5,000 lbs.; in 1941, it was 163,000 — and in December came Pearl Harbor. Now, in 1942, the Company's production is going at a rate that is 45 times that of only four years ago. Britain Dependent upan Us . .. By contrast, British companies, which bad been content to continue as customers of Krupp, found themselves cut off from the vital material when Poland was invaded. But the General Electric Company was able to supply sub stantial quantities to British industry im mediately and since then has continuously filled British orders. It has, in like manner, filled Canada’s requirements since 1936. It is currently supplying Canada, Russia, and other United Nations. All this in addition to supplying the greatly expanded needs of American industry. An Inspirational Story of American Industry ... Thus, the story of Carboloy does not end in “too little and too late.” Like many previously untold stories of American industry, it continues, a sturdy and in spiring example of public service born of private enterprise, and characterized by hard work, ingenuity, investment, research, risk, and courage—a familiar pattern on this side of the Atlantic.
