THE FARM HOME
/ The farm housing survey, a pro
ject of the Civil Works Administra
tion, is producing facts and statis
tics that are of exceptional interest.
The Survey covers such factors as
condition of walls, chimneys, roofs,
etc., the age of the structure, the
number of rooms and occupants,
and whether or not it has ordinary
conveniences and comforts. The
average urban dweller will be sur
prised to learn that a heavy per
centage of the farm homes are en
tirely without plumbing of any
kind. The buljc of the homes are
in only fair condition; many are
classified as being poor. And only
a comparative handful have electric
cr gas labor saving devices.
Here is a vast market for the
sale of building materials and sup
plies. In a number of states the
market has barely been touched;
homes are little different than they
were twenty-five years ago. Vari
ous plans are on foot now to make
it possible for more farmers to
finance new building and effect
improvements and alterations to
old structures. If the plans go
through it will mean not only bet
ter living quarters for the farmer—
it will mean that a legion of men
will find jobs, both in the actual
work of construction and in the
industries supplying materials.
It is the general opinion that
stimulated home building, in both
rural and urban areas, is essential
to achieving general economic re
covery. And it is pleasant to note
that the outlook for new construc
tion is better now than at any time
in the past four years.

T HE V-type engine hurled an Italian plane through
the air at seven miles a minute. It swept a racing
car down a Florida beach to the world’s land speed
record ... 270 miles per hour.
Only Ford has been able to put the V-type 8-cylin
der engine in an inexpensive car. The next lowest
priced V-8 cylinder car sells for $2545.
At 55 this Ford V-8 is just loafing along——effort
lessly. Yet despite performance that lifts it out of the
low price class, the new Ford V-8 is the most econom
ical Ford ever built.
The Ford V-8 is the only car that offers you the
riding ease of free action for oil four wheels—plus
the priceless safety of strong axle construction.
Before you buy any car at any price, drive the
Ford V-8.

porates many engineering improve
ments which have been developed
in recent years.
“The 1934 motor car buyers get
a real break,” Mr. Bottom, manager
of the Ford Motor Company at At
lanta, pointed out this week. “He
can buy a car at a reasonable price
and be certain to get every comfort
and every feature that a motorist
could desire. Five years ago to ob
tain these same motoring features
would have cost him thousands of
dollars.
“Our engineers have been able to
build these features into a low-
priced car. The new Ford V-eights
have transverse springs allowing
free action on all four wheels. They
have torque tube drive, which as
sures safety at high speed. Their
wheels are of welded steel with
nothing to work loose and the steel
itself is so strong that a single
spoke will support the weight of
the entire car. This car can be ac
celerated to 63 miles an hour in
second. <
“Then, too, this year’s buyer gets
a double drop frame, dual height
bumpers, all-steel body, shatter
proof glass all around, and a low
center of gravity, permitting the
car to hug the road and making it
possible for it to be tilted to a 40
degree angle.
“In short, the motorist of 1934
not only enjoys the benefits of low
prices, but at the same time he ob
tains those multiple features that
make motoring a genuine pleasure
and provide the motorist with com
fort, speed and safety. In view of
these facts it is not to be wondered
at that the automobile industry
has gone ahead so rapidly this
year. The American motorist rec
ognizes value and is quick to take
advantage of it when he sees it.
Sales records for the current year
are proof of this.”

The Golden Text proclaims the
Great Commission for the promo
tion of the missionary enterprise.
It constitutes the marching orders
of the Christian Society.
I wonder if we realize to what an
astonishing extent the missionary
spirit and method are glorified by
the pages of our New Testament.
Every book in the New Testament
was vritten by a foreign mission
ary. Every New Testament letter
written to a church was directed to
; a foregin missionary church. Every
New Testament letter written to an
individual was directed to a convert
, of a foreign missionary. Of the
! twelve apostles every one, save Ju
das, became a missionary.
The language of the New Testa
ment, moreover, is of a missionary
character.
Now striking changes have taken
place in recent years in the areas
where missionaries labor, and in
the conduct of their work. Con
sider how marvelously the world
has shrunk! The automobile, the
aeroplane, the radio, and the tele
phone have made the whole world
a neighborhood. Geographic fron
tiers have thus been eliminated,
and the traditional distinction be
tween home and foreign missions
abolished.
Think, too, of the way in which
the ideal of a self-governing, self-
sustaining native church is being
approached. The days of western
supremacy are passing.* • To an in
creasing extent missionary work is
being taken over by the nationals
of the various countries.
Another notable change is the
intense emphasis upon the social
gospel.
Still another change is the ad
vance in missionary cooperation.
There are about forty foreign mis
sion boards in the United States
and Canada, all working together
in harmony. Denominationalism is
thus breaking down on foreign
soil. Truly we are living in stir
ring days!
