Motor car companies boasted in their literature of the ultimate degree of power that had been reached, "In most cases," one company stated, 'the power of the engine has been increased so that the dismounting of passen- pers on a steep or sandy hill is no longer a necessity." But the ultimate had not been reached, as we now appreciate, And today ~ oft as it did then. That is why I believe for masy years to come the automobile Industry can bring out an improved car each year," More Progress Last year was a year of com- perative reluctance in buying, but it was a year of activity in engineering research, with re- sults that you can see on the cars of today, I have the word of the president of research for our own company that, far from having exhausted thelr field, the scientists are really just on the verge of important progress, Let us consider womo vi no important materials in the malke- up of the autbmoblle, case of rubber, The a tire has increased 'le to ag high as 20,000 miles and yet the rubber engineers do not believe that their work is more than 40 per cent, complet- ed.

Mr. Wilson took as his sub- ject "Unsaved Church Members." He spoke of the church members who had no life, who never had beer born again and were de- pending for their salvation on be- ing church members, "What shall it profit a man if he make a profession and lose his own soul," said the speaker. He made it very clear that one could not be saved through works alone. Christ did all the work on Calvary, Salvation was in Christ, if men accepted of this salvation they would be saved, "What must I do to he lost," said the speaker. "Just do noth- ing at all, only neglect this great gulvation God has provided in His Son, Jesus Christ." He made it clear that there was an eternal purishment to those who rejected Christ as their Saviour. He told a story of Billy Brae in one of his services shouting "fire, fire,'" and someone asked where, and he said, "In Hell." Many were trying to deny Hell these days, not telling people the truth, "No man loves you if he does not tell you the truth," said, Mr, Wilson. Many are expected at both ser- vices on Sunday to hear Rev, A, F. Williams, of Williamsville, N.Y., speak.

Lady luck seems to be skipping around the country yet--depression or nc lepression, That she has a smile to bestow here and there scems to be the only logical conclusion in view of a series of events in northern California re- cently, C. 1. Rolph, Grass Valley farmer, was filled with dismay last summer when a forest firc swept across his ranch and lert blackened acres. In clearing up the debris recently Rolph, ironically enough, discovered ledge of pure chrysolite asbestos, Further investigation revealed the ledge to be a considerable size and Rolph believes commercial produc- tion may be possible, The next flashing smile of the mythical lady was seen in the his- toric mining town of Cherokee, when Spencer Clinging, . veteran prospector, saw a glow in the sand at his feet. The "glow" proved to be a flaw- less diamond weighing approximate- ly three-quarters of a carat in the rough, Records show the gem to be the 451st diamond to have been found in this mining territory. And then there was the butcher in Chico who had turkeys tor sale, A woman had purchased one of the fowl and had discovered several nuggets and flakes of gold in the bird's craw. She told the butcher. The butcher, told no one until he had done a little prospecting" for himself. R. C. Anderson, on whose farm the turkeys were raised, is trying to find out just where those turkeys did their feeding. The better yet, Henry Heins, An- derson, storekeeper, gets his gold ready minted. His dog dug up a $5 gold piece.

"The reasons mentioned by the company," the statement continues, "consisted of a general review of the financial status of the company; which showed, according to the company figures, a drastic decline in revenue to the point where the company felt justified in asking all employes to accept a 10 per cent, deduction in their payrolls for a period of one year.

We have got to be realistic about it." As the sole representative in the House from Arizona, which produc- es 47 per cent of the copper mined in the United States, Mr. Douglas is frankly and deeply disturbed about the future of the industry in this country, Ie feels that it may never again be able to compete with the industry in Canada and other countries where the ore is so much richer and where other advantages prevail due to depreciated curren- cies and lower costs, His resolu- tion reflects his great concern.
