FORD HELPING VETS TO DRIVE MACHINES The Ford Motor company has developed equipment for its newer automobiles, 1940 and later mqdels. so that persons who lost legs or arms In world war I I may drive can. The equipment will be instiled on Mercury or Ford cars at no cost to the veterans who lost one or more limbs in the war. J. L. Herriman, local dealer, quoted Henry Ford as saying that “ The least we can do for these men is to be sure that they get an even- break with those who came back without major disabilities and we do not want any profit incentive to enter into this picture. No man who lost a limb in the armed ser vices of our country during the war is going to have to pay any thing extra to drive a Ford auto mobile.’ Visits Sister— Mrs. M. L.
