Automobile Industry To Better
Business Conditions
The automobile industry in making a great contribution toward th«-
betterment of business conditions, says C. W. Churchill, vice-president
in c ha rice of sales of the Buick Motor Company, in commenting upon
the current activities of the industry and its programs for 1932.
The industry is entitled to commendation for its courageous sup
port of the many automobile shows throughout the country and for
it* well-planned advertising campaigns, quite as much as for the en-
gineering skill displayed in its 1932 models, in Mr. Churchill's opinion
That the public is reacting favorably to these efforts is shown by
the increased attendance at the «hows, and the evident keen interest
of the people in the new products. This growing public confidence
is giving much encouragement to the more than five million persons
who look to the automobile industry, directly or indirectly, for their
livelihood.
"The industry has put its best foot forward for 1932 and, with
characteristic resolution, is making a supreme effort toward leadiing
the country back to prosperity," says Mr. Churchill. "It has fear-
lessly spent the money necessary for new tools, dies and other equip
ment required for the production of the improved models which are
tile admiration of the thousands of visitors at the current shows."
"Compared with last year, attendances are greater and the actual
business transacted, according to present indications, will be increased
many fold. The industry is taking renewed courage, hope and faith
in the prospect* for (the coming year."

Improving Rural Roads
We are learning that poor roads, impassable during pari of each
year, are one of the farmer's greatest problems. Those who live in
cities, from which finep aved highways stretch away in all directions,
probably have a difficult time understanding his predicament. Hut
if they can imagine themselves living on an isolated farm, without
means for going to town, or for receiving medical or fire-fighting
service in case of need, they will have an inkling into the plight of
millions of American farm families.
The good roads movement must be extended into rural districts
and amount of traffic must not be the major consideration. Modern
construction methods have made possible the building of good usphal-
tic surfaced roads, passable and safe under all conditions, at an ex-
tremely low cost. In any sound consideration of permanent and sub-
stantial "farm relief," t'ne problem of good roads for fast, economical
transportation of persons and goods, should play an important part.

Another Martyr to Science
The long roll of martyrs to science receives another name.
From his schoolboy days, Alfred Seymour Reinhnrt of Dorchester,
Massachusetts, knew that he was doomed to die of a heart ailment.
All that medical science could do for him would be to relieve him of
his pain in the last stages of the disease.
Yet he devoted his definitely numbered days to a systematic labora-
tory study of his own case, and a detailed record of his symptoms and
suffering. He refused all opiates, lest they confuse his mind and mar
the record he had set himself to keep.
"By his matchless martyrdom," said Rabbi Samuel Sc'nulman at
Temple Kmanu-KI in New York, as The Times quotes him, "he makes
us stand with reverence in the presence of the possible greatness of
the human .spirit." Others join in paying homage to the unfaltering
courage of the young student.
First knowledge of the possible fate that awaited him came, as the
story is told in The Times, while the boy was a second-year student at
the Boston English High School, when an attack of rheumatism dam-
aged one of the valves of his heart. Yet he went to Harvard to study
medicine, working his way through the university by scholarships to
graduate magna cum laude, and spent throe years in the medical
school befored oath claimed him.
During his late undergraduate years lie noticed certain telltale sym-
ptoms, and knew that later certain blotches on his skin would be the
unfailing herald of death. These blotches appeared last July, while
the young medical student was dining with his si-ster and brother-in-
law. He went to Dr. Soma Weiss, assistant professor of Medicine at
Harvard Medical School, and unfolded every detail of his case. Then
he settled down for his final work. And we read:
"Alone in a little roon> set aside for him in the Thorndike Memorial
Laboratory at the Boston City Hospital, he summed up the results of j
his studies of his own case, and on his death-bed, despite excruciating j
pain, and denying himself the relief that only drugs could offer, he!
dictated the final observations of a physician on his most intimate |
patient in the hope that his record might add to the store of medical'
knowldedge."
So well had he diagnosed hi.s case, we read, that he was able to
view subjectively each new pain, each recurring manifestation of the
growth and spread of the disease within his own body. In the intro-
duction to his notes he wrote:
"These notes are designed to constitute the observations of the
natural history and course of a generally fatal disease, and the mem-
oirs of the subjective reactions of a patient to that disease.
"It is modestly hoped that here and there, there may be a statement
which may prove of value in the elucidation of some medical problem
involving the psychology of the sick-room."
Soi ntent had young Heinhart been on his notes that he refused any
drugs until the very last, and explained his action thus: "Despite my
pain, I am hesitant about taking the drug because it would cloud
I whatever abdominal symptoms were present, and would make the
diagnosis difficult."
Dr. Weiss, who knows the student intimately, said he knew of no
! parallel case of heroism. He plans to publish Reinhart's notes, to
! -tand as a lasting tribute to a martyr to science.
THE TOWN WHERE 1 LIVE IT S MY TOWN
The recent death of Charles
Prestwlch Scott, of the Manches-j
ter, Kngland, Guardian, brings
thoughts of the mighty influence
a newspaperman can have on his
country and his time.
The guardian, under his leader-
ship, has become known the world
around for fairness, for justice,
for discriminating intelligence.
Many of those who were unable
to agree with his stand on vital is-
sues respected and admired him
most- and there can be no great-
er testimonial to his mind and
character than that. Many of the
great issues for which we fought—
for justice to Ireland, against an
unrelenting imperialism, and so
on- have, long afterwards, found
an echo in the minds and hearts
of the people of Kngland. The
Guardian was often ahead of its
time, particularly in holding to
the line of reason as opposed to
illogical and dangerous mob emo-
tionalism. Perhaps no single force
apart from t'ne government, did
more than it to influence the
course of England's destiny in
this century.
Charles Scott was one of the
great men of his age. He will be
missed, not only in Kngland but
in other countries to which the
things he fought for with unflag-
ging courage are important- and
those who were his enemies in
battles of the mind will not miss
him less than those who followed
where he led. In many ways the
world he has left is a better world
than the one he was born into
because of the work he carried on
devotedly through two genera-
tions. His profession is the poorer
because of his passing—-and at
this time, it is good to reflect on
the power of the press and of the
unwritten obligations it should
live up to on account of it.
Electric - Gas Industries Go
The lectric and gas utilities have not been "lying da
depression. To the contrary, they have spent treit
money in improving and increasing their generating and
facilities in preparation for the time when general bus
will be sufficiently improved for industry to take ad^
potential service available.
This is in line with the policy of these two industrlM, *
their inception. They have met the demands of the
while doing that, have prepared for the demands oft he
are not content to stand still. They have taken the at
public is entitled to constantly better and cheaper ser
year has seen definite progress ih both directions.
There is another important phase to electric and gas
their influence in alleviating, as much as single indui
employment. These industries have shown faith in the
an usually severe period of stress—a spirit that is in keep
pioneer courage that made possible the founding and
these two great public servants.

an issue that goes deeper still the need for a permanent government
transportation policy, not only in bad periods hut in periods of pros-
perity. Thi.s policy must be to treat all carriers, new or old, large
or small, with equality, from the standpoint of taxation, regulation
and legislation. If the railroads are to bo controlled by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission, on the ground that it is in the public in-
terest, certainly it is also in the public interest to have the same body-
control competing transportation agencies which are taking much bus-
iness that formerly went to the rails. Pursuance of our present sui-
cidal policy can only bring the railroads to ruin—and, in the final
analysis, the forccd death of a ecessary industry always takes place
at the public expense.
