Getting out the Ford Almanac for July, he points to his own history and his personal experiences as a laborer before ne reached the status of an industrial titan. He also draws sharp contrast between what he terms “the financier’s way” and his own methods. Financiers, he says, want to produce as cheaply as possible 2nd sell for as much as they can get. His idea is to pay good wages but to improve efficiency s6 they will buy more and thus raise the standard of living. Ford worked for others 23 years before he got into busi- ness for himself and during that time, the document asserts, he formulated the labor policy which he has since tried to tnake effective. The basis of that policy, it is claimed, is a shorter day, a shorter week but higher and higher wages. The background of Ford’s wage policy lies in his own ex- perience. He went to work at 17 when he came to Detroit and got two jobs in order to make ends meet. One job was at an engine works and he got $2.50 a week for working 10 hours a day. Then he got $2 a week for working four hours each night, repairing watches for a jeweler. The point is made that “Ford knows, feels and understands the viewpoint of the worker. He is telling his employes that he has retained that viewpoint through the years. Net result of this propaganda campaign is to make it “tough” for the CIO to crack the Ford organization. Since that flurry involving the rough handling of some union organizers several months ago nothing has been heard about unionization there. It was to be expected that Ford would try a different de- fense than most other industrialists. After all, he has a better understanding of the various factors in this peculiar situation than many other business leaders. The fact that he knows what it is to have callouses on his hands and grime in his fingernails gives him an advantage. Trees in Nebraska One of the most famous farms in Nebraska is that of J. J. Lydig of Craig, 20 miles from the Missouri river—and all be- cause he is one of the nation’s most famous arborculturists. In 1910 Lydig bought a 240 acre farm but it wasn’t long until he acquired so bad a case of hay fever that doctors told him he should move to the mountains where he would be bene- fited by the dust-free atmosphere and the pungent odors of pine, spruce and fir. Lydig couldn’t do that so he decided to provide his own atmosphere and odors by planting evergreen treés. He planted his own seed, producing his own seedlings and setting out the trees in due time. Today his farm is one of the showplaces of the country and the most valuable 240 acres in that part of Nebraska. Not only that, but his windbreaks have accumulated on his land every year the snow which might have been held on his tor republica- ited In this si neighbor's fields. As a result his neighbors had nothing in} 1934 but he had 200 bushels of potatoes, and 35 bushels of corn per acre. His apple trees yielded well and he had a big crop of black raspberries. Neighboring fields, without this protection and without means of holding the snows, were burned up by hot winds. Some of thent were eroded by the wind, as fields in this area have been, but his soil stayed in place. Lydig’s experience is cited by the American Forestry as- sociation as proof of what CAN be done in this area. There is no contesting the facts but neither is there anything miraculous about them. The major point is that Lydig’s fields got more water to begin with and less of it was sucked up by the hot, drying winds because the winds were, in part, kept away by the shelterbelt. Disguised Policemen There is nothing startling in a picture of a motorcycle officer standing beside a motorist’s car writing out a traffic violation ticket. But put that policeman in a straw hat, a turtle-necked sweater, and a pair of overalls, and you have a situation loaded with dynamite. ; Atlanta is trying out the plan of having traffic policemen discard uniforms for civilian clothes, the better to apprehend wayward motorists. So far, it is reported, the plan is a success. Anything that stems traffic violation and reduces the chance for accidents has some big points in its favor. But this| Plan, unfortunately, runs counter to the American idea for fair play, “even breaks,” and hatred of any form of spying. It isa national habit to crack down on snoopers and meddlers, even | unto lurking guardians of the law. For this reason alone, it | will be interesting to see how long Atlanta’s experiment will last.
