Young Woman Driver
Grateful To Policeman
Red Bank, N. J. (U.R) A
young woman driver wrote the
Garden State Parkway's state
police headquarters here to
thank the trooper who helped
when the car got a flat tire on
the highway.
"I have no idea what his name
Is," she wrote, "but he was dark,
young and very handsome."
A spokesman said the descrip
tion was not much help in locat
ing the man because it applied
to "most New Jersey troopers."

It doesn't. And here's the story
Minimum standards for milk are set by law but Lucerne sets its own
special and higher standards. And as a farmer's milk meets or exceeds
these standards, Lucerne pays him a bonus for the extra quality.
As a result, the finest mil If comes to Lucerne and to you
in quality that i3 well above legal standards for purity,
flavor and cream-content.
Lucerne can sell this bonus quality m3k fet-no extra charge
because of money saved on distribution. Lucerne has no expensive
door-to-door delivery costs. Rather Lucerne delivers hundreds of
i quarts at a time to stores only. .
The money Lucerne saves on distribution goes to get the
"Bonus Quality" milk. That's why -though it costs more at the farm
Lucerne's Bonus Quality costs you no more than any other milk.

Automation, New U.S.
Technique, May Bring
Editor'! Note "Automation" is
a word so new it is not in any
dictionary. But the production
technique it describes is destined
to affect every man. woman and
child in America. This is the first
in a series of three dispatches on
automation and its role in the
U.S. economy.
By REY W. BRUNE
United Press Correspondent
Detroit (U.R) A new produc
tion technique called automa
tion is sweeping American in
dustry. This much is certain. But
what automation holds for the
future is not so certain.
News of a new "automation
factory" means big headlines in
Detroit newspapers. In this city
whose life is bound so closely
to the manufacturing industry,
the man-on-the-street probably
knows more about automation
than in any other city.
But while Detroit has found
it easy to grasp what automation
is, there are not many people
here or elsewhere who agree on
what automation will mean,
what it will bring.
Labor Aware '
Automation has already
caused wildcat strikes idling
thousands. It could bring long,
bitter strikes idling, millions.
Automation is a factor in CIO
United Auto Workers Presi
dent Walter Reuther's attempt
to win an unprecedented guar
anteed annual wage for the auto
industry this spring.

Automation will bring radical
changes in thousands of job

Automation might make the

What Is Automation?
What is automation? The word
is easier to illustration what
automation is than define it.
Once a person used to lift a
telephone receiver and give a
number to an operator. She
plugged in wires to connect the
right parties. Now, a person
lifts the receiver and dials a
number. Electric relays make
the proper connection. That's
automation.
Take an assembly line. A part
needing two holes bored in it
moves down a conveyor belt.
In most factories today, a man
would lift the part from the
belt, feed it into a boring ma
chine and then replace it on the
belt. A second man ' would be
standing nearby to repeat the
operation for the second hole.
Now, in automation the part
would automatically be fed from
the conveyor to the first boring
machine, move automatically to
the second machine and then
proceed down the conveyor. No
hands would touch it. One work
er might be standing by watch
ing controls to see the job is
done properly.
