Freight As Tire
Ban Hits Trucks
the greater part of this transporta
tion is by truck.
Beer, Soda Pop Affected
Beer and soda pop are affected
by the ruling which classes them as
nonessential to the war effort or
to the health of the community—
and therefore bans new' tires for
these delivery trucks.
But that’s .only a starter—also
trucks are included that carry
tobacco products, confections and
candy, flow'ers, toys, novelties, jewel
ry, radios, phonographs, musical in
struments and all other luxury
goods and all alcoholic and non
alcoholic beverages.
And that isn’t all—other trucks
which will get no new tirqg are
those furnishing transportation for
incidental maintenance purposes in
homes such as vacuum cleaner, re
frigerator and radio repair service.
May Continue On Present Tires
Wholesale trucks are permitted to
continue their deliveries as long as
their present tires last, but when
they wear out it will be curtains for
the duration.
This puts the wholesale delivery
man in the same boat as the retail
delivery men for whom new tires
were out since last fall.
Time was, back in the old days
when the Western Ohio interurban
ran freights nightly thru Bluffton,
that the solution to the transporta
tion problem would have been rel
atively easy.
Today, however, railroads will pro
vide the only alternative as truck de
liveries in nonessential lines become
progressively less. Altho railroads
are giving priority to transportation
of war materials, nevertheless Bluff
ton is more fortunate than many
towns since it is served by two rail
lines.
Elephants Damage School
Broken windows in a school in
Clacton-on-Seh, England, were be
lieved the work of thieves until pu
pils returned from their vacations
and explained. They had fed buns
to two elephants quartered near
by. During the vacation time the
beasts grew bun hungry and tried
to enter the school.
Rich Bachelors Pay
South Africa has 9,372 bachelors
with incomes sufficient to compel
them to pay an income tax, accord
ing to government figures published
in Capetown. Of these, 1,169 earned
$5,000 a year or more. One had an
income of $80,000 last year and two
others between $90,000 and $100,000.
Where wheat is being held in
emergency storage, floor joints
should be examined to make sure
they can carry the load. Wheat is
10 times heavier than an equal vol
ume of loose hay.

’WAY EACK WHEN
by Jeanie
MOTOR EXECUTIVE WAS A DAY
LABORER
w
ILLIAM S. KNUDSEN, vice
president of General Motors,
hardly gave promise to the casual
observer of being executive mate
rial 30 years ago. Born in Den
mark in 1880, be came to the Unit
ed States at the age of twenty, with
$30 in his pocket. His first job was
as a reamer and riveter in a New
York shipyard, and later he worked
in the railroad shops at Salamanca,
N. Y., repairing locomotive boilers.
Knudsen had worked in a bicycle
plant in Denmark, and he finally
obtained a job as a bench hand in
a similar factory in Buffalo, N. Y.
The result? In five years, Knud
sen was manager of the bicycle
factory, the Keim mills which Hen
ry Ford bought in 1911. During the
next ten years, he worked closely
with Ford in the development of
mass production of automobiles. In
1921, he joined General Motors,
where he steadily advanced to his
present position as one of the most
prominent men in the whole auto
mobile industry.
There is so much in liking the
work you do that, even if offered
more money at something I did
not like, I think I would stick with
the thing that appealed to me more.
And I would be thinking of my own
success in doing that. For, when
we are working on things we like,
we can put in more extra hours,
we take more extra pains, we can
do a better job. Doing the things
we like, we tire less easily. We
are inspired toward finding better
ways, and we are able to contribute
so much more thai. we may be
actually paid for at the moment
that advancement cannot fail to
be rapid.
