The Record of the Court
As we scan the justice court records of this com
munity we find that many of the cases are caused by
too much use of hard liquor. 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.

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

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. General Electric Company,
