MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON. THURSDAY. DECEMBER 2. 1943 PAGE SEVEN r BILUONA YEAR Rate Is Double Peak Civi lian Production To Build Even More Aircraft By Anthony G. DeLorenao (United Press Correspondent) Detroit (U.R) The automotive Industry'! war output has reached the 10,000,000,000-a-year mark, rate double its peak civilian production before ' the war. and still is climbing. Records of the Automobile Manufacturers' association show that the industry's production of war material guns, shells, 4 tanks, aircraft and motorized equipment during the first seven months of the year ex ceeded the entire output of 1942. The industry's banner car - and truck production year was 1941, when a dollar-volume of $3,703,000,000 was reached. However, this included manu facture of a quantity of military vehicles. The previous high ' point wmi a $3,413,000,000 vol ume year in 1929. The converted passenger-car builders' biggest contribution to the wtr effort is, oddly enough, in the ileld of aircraft -com-, pleUd planes, rib-asmbUes, engines and 'parts comprises more than 40 per cent of the Industry's gross delivery rate of V $10,000,000,000 yearly. The Industry's output of air craft material will be even greater as new facilities are tapped and maximum output is achieved in present factories from coast to coast. Eventually it will comprise 90 per cent of ear manufacturers' total war production. ' Foundation for the industry's aircraft program was laid three years ago during a meeting of manufacturers with Lt. Gen. William S. Knudsen, then a member of the National Defense Advisory commission, in a va cant grocery store here. Knud sen proposed that passenger-car makers undertake $500,000,000 worth of sub-contracting on the original heavy bomber program. Utilizing the assembly-line methods for which it long has been noted, they already have turned out more than $4,000, 000,000 worth of airplanes, en gines and aircraft equipment Today industry plants in 31 states are pouring out aircraft units at a rate of $11,000,000 daily. The rate is still soaring. The industry now is produc ing ready-to-fly assemblies of four different types of aircraft and is gearing plants to begin work on two more. It also is fabricating parts and sub-assemblies for 11 other types of com bat craft and 12 different types of airplane engines.

ONE OUT OF FIVE In the recent survey mad by civilian defense block leaders for the Red Cross, lt was found that 92 out of 496 families con tacted had one member of the family trained in first aid, or approximately one out of every five persons.

LONDON HELPS YANKS London (U.R) To accommo date the thousands of American soldiers who put a coin in Loo don's subway scales and the looked puzzled when the meter saya they weigh "10 stone" or thereabouts, authorities have posted on each machine a sign stating that "one stone equal 14 pounds." m Olive I Barber's Observations It is a matter of great confu sion and embarrassment to me that having met a woman I do not remember having done so when next I see her. Yet this is her fault, not mine. For to all outward appearances, the woman I was introduced to the first time is certainly not the one I meet again, however much she may say to the con trary. .Maybe the woman to whom I was introduced wore a smart little bonnet, or a tarn. Maybe she had a frill of curls about her face, or had her hair done in a bun. But when next seen, she may .have on slacks, or a tailored suit. Her hair will be In a horseshoe roll, or she may have what Is known as a feather-cut. And as - everyone knows, women change their per sonality with their clothes. So a woman is not just a single person. She's as many people as she has costumes. Yet this flock of creatures answers to the same name. Far too frequently for my comfort, I hear of some woman who has been hurt by my lack of recognition. I could, with equal justice, be hurt that the woman I first met and found so charming disappeared and was never seen again; at least by me. When told the Mrs. Black be fore me is the same Mrs. Black I met yesterday, I don't contra dict, but I know better. The first Mrs. Black was gay and frothy and given to chatter. This one is sober, dignified and wants to discuss politics. If a month has elapsed between meetings, then I am sunk. For in the meantime the lady has maybe gone on a diet and lost twenty pounds. With that much of her gone. I don't know the rest of ber. Or maybe she's gone off a diet and gained the twenty. In that case. even she would have to admit there's a lot of her I really never did meet before. I can remember men. They don't show up in skirts one day and pants the next. If they wear their hair parted on the left side, I know they'll still be wearing it that way ten years from now; that is, if they have any left to part. Personally, I play fair.
