What is wealth? Is It not
enough to sustain life and ralne
a family togother with the free
dom to do ho In your own fash
ion? Thin is what we are fight
ing for
And in tho fight wo aro learn
lng now values duy by day In
the pant too nmny times we have
not thought of wealth as being
health freedom good food and
good fellowship Our measure of
wealth wuh gold
Hut now In the midst of our
ntruggle for Burvivnl we shut
down our gold mines altogether
For we find that having more gold
does not nmko us richer — In
stead it makes us poorer We can
not afford to have our miners
wasting time fuel and materials
digging out Huch worthless stuff
ns aold when wn are urgently In
need of more precious materials
such as copper that cun be used
to nmko war machines
—nOo—
The War Induction Boat'd has
ordered gold mining to cease just
us it has omled manufacture of
lots of oilier luxuries which we
enjoyed In poaco time Also mone-
tary silver is being withdrawn
from our underground stores and
used to replneo scareo metals In
various manufacturing processes
— -0O0—
Tho struggle for gold has run
like a threat throughout history
America was diNcnveivd und ex
plored und penetrated because
European sovereigns wanted gold
Wo figured Alasku a big bargain
because it bad gold not because
of its strategic military position
England thought Guiuiaiiy wa
done for after tho Woild War be-
bonne it had no gold while Eng-
land hud South Afrlen and the
rtihes of India to draw on But
Hitler put his people to work
making guns und nit planes und
so when tho showdown came at
Munich military might won over
gold and tho world had an ex
ample of tho worthlessness of
Hd
— o0—
Our own gold reserves burled
at Fmt Knox leave little relation
to our prices or our national
economy now Kvcrj thing is sub-
ordinated to our military needs
A Flying Fortress today loaded
with bombs amt manned by an
experienced crew may be worth
ten such implements of destruct-
ion a week from now
Farm parity? This is an effort
to measure tho worth of a far-
mer's crops in clothing fuel farm
implements and the things tho
farmer must have In tho same
way wages must bo measured
against rents food prices und such
Tho only true values Inflexible

FORD PLANT TO PRODUCE
GLIDERS FOR TRAINERS
DEARBORN Mich Nov 20—
Transput t gliders designed to
carry IT) invasion-equipped sol-
diers will be made by tho Ford
Motor Company accouilug to word
received from the Ford Motor
Company by Mr Carlin Rogers of
the Rogers Motor Company
Tho glider-building program
was launched following a recent
test of the fust Ford glider by
Col Frederick R Dent Jr direc-
tor of tho Army glider develop-
ment program ami co-pilot Mujoi
Bruce B l’rice director of the
glider unit at Wright Field Ohio
Cut loose from a two-motored
Army transport at 8500 feet the
broad-winged ship floated high
over Font Airport for 13 minutes
then glided to a gentle landing
Nearly as large ns a medium-
sixed bomber the engmless air
transport has a fuselage 52 feet
long and a wing-spread of 84
feet It weighs approximately 11-
000 pounds
The fuselngo Is built around a
framework of tubular steel The
plane’s wings are constructed of
airplane spruce and mahogany
plywood Tho skin or outer sur-
face is coated with cioso-weave
long fiber cotton fabric
Ono of tho innovations Intro-
duced by Ford In the construc-
tion of gilders is a method of
quick-drying glue joints through
simultaneous application of heat
and pressure To reduce the dry
ing timo from eight hours to five

minutes engineers have' devised
a network of rubber tubing for
attachment to the jigs in which
the wings are assembled Con-
tacting the wing structure at those
points where glue haR been appli-
ed the rubber tubing Is swollen by
steam drying the joints by heat
und pressure
Auulher production aid is a fix-
ture for quick gluing of tho rib

ing a pressure clump with an

anily-madc concrete die was de-
signed Lined with steel piping
for the passage of steam the dies
serve as well as steel ones they
replace
In order to put the motorless
whip into production Ford en-
gineers supervised the designing
of more than 4000 tools a num-
ber of them giant fixtures
Manufacture of the tools was
divided between the Ford Rouge
plant toolroom and 30 toolniak
Ing concerns To avoid costly de-
lay toolmakers were first invit-
ed to Inspect blueprints before
they accepted order Following
xamlnation of the plans the
manufacturers selected those tools
they were best equipped to turr
out with a minimum of delay
Approximately four months af-
ter blueprints of the Woco-deslgn-ed
ship were handed to the Ford
Motor Company the first Ford-
made glider was ready
Beginning work In May Ford
engineers laid out loft boards on
which were made detailed full-
scale drawings of the glider
Working from this Ford men re-
designed various parts and as-
semblies and adapted the ship to
automotive typo of lino produc-
tion The glider's basic design re-
mained unchanged
Once construction was launch-
ed the company assigned Its
skilled model makers artisans
who hnve been making auto pat-
terns for years to fashion thou-
sands of wooden parts
