X Says Relief Pay Depends On Need bodies and wheels. It was the best way to make bodies—then, has advanced. Of course, it is more expensive to make an all-steel body than to make a wooden frame and nail steel panels on to it. The better way in volves an initial expenditure of several millions of dollars for new dies, which renders a change very costly. Cars, especially large expensive cars which are produced in small volume, cannot afford this, because the ^ es cost as much for one car as for a million. That alone explains why a - steel bodies are not used in all cars. , But our basic policy from the beginning is to make a good car^better, regardless of cost. For example, when we discarded wood-steel body construction, i not because we lacked wood. We still have some thousands of acres of the best hard wood in America. Economy would urge us to use up ^ w °° d first, and then adopt the better all-steel body. But we decided that quality was more important than expense. We weighed the reasons, for and against, before we made the change. We could see only one reason for retaining a mixed wood-and steel body nailin^ the metal on, instead of welding an all-steel body ihto a strong one-oiece whole. That reason was, it would be cheaper—.or us. Our reasons for adopting an all-steel body were these: A wood steel „ In all bodv is not much stronger structurally than its wooden trame. American climates, wood construction weakens with age. Every used car o gives evidence of this. Rain seeps in between joints and the wood decays. A car may have a metal surface, and yet not be of steel construction. Under extreme shock or stress the steel body remains intact—dented per- haps, but not crushed. . „ . . Q P Steel does not need wood for strength or protection. Wood is fine for furniture, but not for the high speed vehicles of 1933. In the Ford body there are no joints to squeak, no seams to crack The all-steel body is more expensive—to us, but not to you. By all odds, then, steel bodies seem preferable. . -. Wheels also have become all-steel. No one argues that an e ec n y welded one-piece steel wheel, such as the Ford wheel, needs o e "strengthened" by adding wood to it. „ most The one-piece all-steel body is the strongest, safest, quietest, most durable body made. That is our only reason for making them. Land Valtie Factors ject Of Study CTemson College, August 5.— Hie most important factor deter mining the value of farm real estate is its earning capacity as measured by the value of cotton it produces. This is true at least in “Anderson county, South Caro- The State, August 4th. That the 30-cent per hour fed eral emergency relief wage would be so administered as not to have any adverse affects on agriculture or industry was promised by Alan Johnstone, field representative of he federal emergency relief ad ministration, in a statement made here last night. The amount of work to be given to each of South Carolina’s unem ployed through the relief adminis tration will depend solely upon the actual need of the individual as computed by social workers, he said. If it takes one day of work to produce the necessary funds to al low the individual a decent living, that is all the work which will be given. If it takes more money more work will be allowed. No person will be given work re lief who can find a job in private industry or on a farm, Mr. John stone said, but in cases where pri vate wages do not allow a decent Una, as shown by a study made by., the South Carolina Experiment llvmg the wage wiU 1)6 supplement- station. led by the relief administration.
