Is . q or DAVID ‘s. wmmr DETRJOT. March 81 - (AP) -— The heaviest production year In their history apparently lies ahead of United States motor-car makers. In the first nine wee-ks of tho year the car and truck factories turned out nearly 1.000.000 vehicles By the end of March the total will be in excess of 1.300.000. This is_the conviction of some o.‘ the best-informed sources In the automobile industry. By tho year's end, thee; sources say, the factories will have turned out up- wards of 5.500.000 cars and trucks. The volume will be achieved With- out. more than a twoslilft 01191-- ation in any of the factories. Nineteen years ago with most. plants operating three shifts a day. six days a week, the record mark of 5.358.420 vehicles was established. There lo yet another contrast 1n tho car industry's picture today as compared with that of 1929. Th! industry's tnarket this your easily will absorb all tho vehicles that can be produced and leave a size- ablc bank of unfilled orders. The 1029 output, coming on the eve of One of the worst depiesioris. was followed by several years of dec- lining production. A smaller part of this year's American motor-car production will go to Europe, but car makers generally expect no overall drop In their export business. More vehicles they soy. will go to Central and South America and south Africa. Last year out of a total American productl0n of 4,797,650 can and trucks, 512.333 were shipped to foreign markets.

Of course you did. We all have. But no‘. me. fellers, that's only turkey talk and doesn't count. for much. They just hain't ever been 1n a hospi- tal! Cause if they was they would ii't talk that way. No. siree, they just. wouldn't talk like that. Speaking of my own experience I can state positively I've had more than enough of ‘om. Pu: spent exactly 68.000 hours in tif- teon institutions and In that time a fellow gets a pretty good idea of how the whole thing looks. When I was first hospitalized way back in 1696 —that time I lei. out of a tree where I had climbed to steal apples and broke s couple of arms, more or leer-you ‘lad to be about ready for the undertak‘ er afar-e mu could get. a look In a hospital in those days. Yes siree, them‘s the straight facts. But it's different today and tho Doc's will pull you in with anything from an Itchy scalp to a pain in the tum- my. Well actually, that's how it is nowadays. The emphasis Is all on hospitals. nurses. foods and drugs. Now there's folks that likes the ward best on account of tr.- company and tho fun they can have with the other patients. 0th ers like the semi-private room where there is supposed to be less noise, and still. others cry out (n: the private room where they can have a special all In themselves. I've tried ‘em all and believe me, mister, you can get. yer stomach upset in any of ‘em. One time I shared a semi-private with an al- coholic. The guy was plum off his base and should have been lockcll up in a hug house. But, he was a brass hat with a. lot o! dough, so they gave him a semi-private and diagnosed his case as “acute bron- chltls." Just like that. How that teller cussed and rav- od and tossed the furniture about was something to speak about. B; the end of a weekl had to get liokerod up myself In order to stay with the fellow at sll. Final- Iy they separated us. and I was chalked up on the black list on account of taking the llcker. In case you've never been in a hospital l want to tell you they come along—that is, the nuIlI come along and take your clothes and valuables — 1 never had any of the latter ~. and Iesvo you 1008' in; like Gandhi in a Jonny shirt and a pair of slippers that. lit. your feet like a couple of canoes. You, slree, when they're finished with you you look like hell. to say the least. And talking about hospitals you don't know a thing about routine till they got sftcz you from the doctors right. down to the maids they have you it. their nod and beck. When you want to go right they make you go left. If you want. In stay in bod they get you up. and If you want. to got up they keep you lying down.

It is true that for a limited num~ bar of models in tho uPWr medium and higher price brackets almost immediate deliveries can bo 0b- tainod. For tho remainder, which represent close to 50 per cent of sll the Industry output. tho de- mand far eXceeds the suPPly. Next major development in the American car industry‘ will be the introduction of now Ford models. sot for early June. They will be designated 1949 models. and ac- oordlnz to Henry Ford H, will be completely new. In designing and retooling operations the new models are said to represent a likard In- vestment of more than $300,000.000. Details of the new models still are closely guarded. Persons who have seen some of the pilot models lay they bear no resemblance to My Ford cars previously made. The change, they add, will be as strik- ing as that/made in 1907 xii-hen Fol-d switched from the old model to the model "A". . The chanxe to new models will involve shutdowp for Ford of prob- lbly six weeks. At the present rate of production that probably will mean a production loss of close to 60.000 units. ' What will follow the new model Ford introduction is arousing con: siderable speculation In industry circles. Many of its ohroliiclers say Chevrolet and Plymouth. leading competitors with Ford in the lower Pflffl brackets. may hasten their 1949 model planning to meet the appeal of a cccnpletely redesigned Ford. Bo lar Plymouth has made vir- tually no change in its cars since l!“ Year and Chevrolet, leading producer in the industry, made only minor changes to avoid a prolonged assembly line shutdown, don't feel like eating along comes a dinner largo enough for a lum- berlack.

Why mister man. there's more din about. a hospital then there is around a logging camp.
