A great thing has occurred amongst us. We have made a complete
turn-around, and at last America’s face is toward the future.
Three years—-1929 to 1932—we Americans looked backward. All
our old financial and political machinery was geared to pull us out of
the depression by the same door through which we entered. We
thought it simply a case of going back the way we came. It failed.
We now realize that the way out is forward-through it.
Thanks for that belongs to President Roosevelt, inauguration
Day he turned the Ship of State around. Having observed the failure
» ./
of sincere efforts to haul us back the way we came, he designed a new
method—new political and financial machinery—to pull us out
the way we are going—forward. He is clearing international
obstacles out of the way; he does not stand in awe of tariffs. The
people begin to feel that he does not take advice from the "inter
ests* ; that he has courage and loyalty to work for one supreme
interest only—the welfare of the American people. That is a big
achievement for two months in office.
And now we all look to what is coming; we grow less and less
concerned with what is behind. We are looking for a hand-hold on
the haul rope. Every man wants to do what he can, and all he can.
j
The best thing I can do for the Country is to create industry
by building good motor cars. If I knew anything better to do, I
would do it. Industry must be my contribution. Motor cars must
face ahead to the future, like everything else. They are so much a
part of the Nation's daily life that if they lag behind they hold
the Country back.

It attributed much of the increase
to "consumer approva' of retail pack
aging if bu'ky farm product j in cot-j £

mand by Southern farmers that ferti
lizers, feed, flour, sugar and other
commodities they biu- be packed in

President Killed Men.
If you want to stum.> a person who
prides hiniseif or herself on being
well Informed, a^k this question:
quizzed one will probably try t ) think
cf some duel or battle in which a
President fought. But you further
mystify by saying tha^ the killing was
done in cold blood. Of course it’s a
catch question.
Long before he became Chief Exe
cutive, Grover Cleveland w;,as a county
sheriff and in that capacity officiated
at executions, The gallows on which
he hanged several murderers is still
preserved in a garage ;n back of the
