Betty’s appearance at the nearby Stowe Township High School commencement program was first time the 22-year-old girl had even been inside a school. She is afflicted with a rare dis- ease that has made her almost as brittle as a china doll. Her family says doctors have a mame for it, but the simple. ex- planation is that her bones are unable to store sufficient calcium. Careful as she and her family have been, she’s sustained more than 100 bone fractures. Her worst mishap several years ago came when she was dropped while being carried to a taxi. That time, she suffered multiple fractures of her thigh and, since then, has had to be in a wheel chair. For FREE Estimate 2-2545 E Weekdays 8 te © — Sun. 2 te 6 FENCE CO.

WILKIE DETROIT, June 5 (#—Competi- tion tougher than any the auto industry ever has known is yet to come. That may come as dishearten- ing news for some new car re- tailers. Many have been losing money in the present competitive market. But most of them have figured the present battle for cus- tomer preference as something; that would vanish in a few months. Top industry experts don’t figure it that way. They see nothing im- mediately ahead to create short- ages which would stimulate de- mand. They see General Motors and Ford determined to retain the increased volume of business they have captured this year. They see Chrysler making the biggest fight in its history to retain sales volume lost in the latter part of 1953 and early 1954. More than that, they visualize a Chevrolet-Ford fight for first place in industry output and re- tail deliveries at a decision stage. Ford had a brief hold on that spot early this year but it took everything Ford had to climb up there. The smaller companies, individ- ually and collectively, also can be counted on for renewed efforts to improve their position. Present- ly they account for only about four per cent of the total output and sales. Obviously they need more than their present share of the market to operate on a profit basis. Eight months ago it was quite generally predicted some of the smaller companies would be hurt in the competitive drive of 1954. j The smaller companies have been hurt; they lost well over half of the volume of business they hed early in 1953. Chrysler also lost heavily: in the fight. Its 1953 production volume was 20.3 per cent of the industry total. Right now it is around 12 per cent.
